And the Cap'n is starting rehab games tomorrow.

2 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Jul 5, 2013 5:52 pm

Heating up over this side the ocean too. Getting close to the dreaded 90degrees/90%humidity the last few days.

Btw, why does Wallace Matthews at ESPN have a job? He actually compared A-Rod to a child-killer today. Seriously.

3 rbj   ~  Jul 5, 2013 6:09 pm

[2] Wait, what?

4 Alex Belth   ~  Jul 5, 2013 6:12 pm

2) You got a link for that?

5 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 5, 2013 6:19 pm

WHY WERE TRYING TO FUCKING BUNT!?!?!?!?

GREAT fucking job.

7 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 5, 2013 6:22 pm

We're going to waste this lead-off double, aren't we?

Ugh.

"He is the one who chose to live a high-profile lifestyle, and then complained about all the media attention it draws, sort of like the kid who kills his own parents and then begs for leniency on the grounds he is an orphan."

I think this is it.

I won't compare Alex to even Manny, because he never shoved an old traveling secretary or has a domestic violence conviction. A-Rod is the DV - Designated Villain.

[5] Ichiro is Japanese. They play 'small ball' and are 'good at teamwork'. It's only logical! :)

10 rbj   ~  Jul 5, 2013 6:24 pm

[7] Of course, because that's the Yankee Way.

11 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 5, 2013 6:34 pm

AWESOME!

I love this team!

12 Alex Belth   ~  Jul 5, 2013 6:53 pm

8) Well, that's not exactly a child-killer. It may have been an inelegant analogy by Mathews but it's not the same as OKJ accused him of.

13 Alex Belth   ~  Jul 5, 2013 6:56 pm

Damn, Ichi. Missed it by "this" much.

14 rbj   ~  Jul 5, 2013 6:56 pm

Ichino :-(

15 Alex Belth   ~  Jul 5, 2013 7:00 pm

Sheeeeeeeet, Cano makes tough plays look so damn easy!! And that one too!

16 Alex Belth   ~  Jul 5, 2013 7:01 pm

Gotta love that smile.

17 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 5, 2013 7:01 pm

ROBBIE! ROBBIE!!

So NICE, I had to say it TWICE!!!

18 rbj   ~  Jul 5, 2013 7:01 pm

3-4-1 put out?

19 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 5, 2013 7:11 pm

Watch out, monkeypants, Vern and his "reworked" swing are coming for more playing time!

20 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Jul 5, 2013 7:13 pm

[12] Who is OKJ? Even so..what a garbage article by Matthews. Reads like a parody of anti-ARod pieces.

21 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 5, 2013 7:15 pm

Cruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuz!

22 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Jul 5, 2013 7:24 pm

Nova's ball is jumping tonight.

23 monkeypants   ~  Jul 5, 2013 7:26 pm

[19] You know I have faith in him. I mean, he got a little out of whack there for a while. But once he gets back to what he was doing in April, going the other way, trying to make contact and not hit home runs, staying within himself, etc., we'll be partying like it's 2003. I'm sure during those couple days he sat, he worked with Kevin Long, and we all know what that does.

24 thelarmis   ~  Jul 5, 2013 7:29 pm

hey folks.

i'm watching the braves-phils game.

yeah, wallace matthews is a chump and a really shitty writer...

25 thelarmis   ~  Jul 5, 2013 7:29 pm

adams is the walkin' dude.

26 thelarmis   ~  Jul 5, 2013 7:33 pm

not very gritty.

27 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 5, 2013 7:35 pm

Ichiro!

28 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 5, 2013 7:36 pm

C'mon Haf, wait and rake.

29 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 5, 2013 7:38 pm

Pathetic. FUCKING PATHETIC.

30 rbj   ~  Jul 5, 2013 7:39 pm

not deep enough.

31 thelarmis   ~  Jul 5, 2013 7:39 pm

vernon lives for moments like these.

clear the bases, verrny!

32 rbj   ~  Jul 5, 2013 7:40 pm

The Yankee Way.

33 Alex Belth   ~  Jul 5, 2013 7:40 pm

Dammit.

34 thelarmis   ~  Jul 5, 2013 7:41 pm

well, that's one way to clear the bases...

...make the 3rd out.

35 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 5, 2013 7:46 pm

Adams may be shiite at the plate, but he's been rock solid at 3rd.

36 thelarmis   ~  Jul 5, 2013 8:00 pm

bad call goes against the bravos as they mount a comeback against cliff lee.

c'mon braves, take the lead, i don't wanna watch papelbitch pitch1

37 Alex Belth   ~  Jul 5, 2013 8:01 pm

Man, Nova is dealin.

38 thelarmis   ~  Jul 5, 2013 8:04 pm

oh man, that was nova's first walk today. he has 9 k's. throwing a really good game, with a low pitch count.

get hardy here and prepare for a score truck delivery!

39 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 5, 2013 8:08 pm

Super, Nova, super!

40 thelarmis   ~  Jul 5, 2013 8:09 pm

good, miguel is gone.

41 rbj   ~  Jul 5, 2013 8:09 pm

One bad pitch for Ivan. Let's get into the pen.

42 thelarmis   ~  Jul 5, 2013 8:09 pm

[39] Bossa Nova, baby!

43 thelarmis   ~  Jul 5, 2013 8:10 pm

braves score 4 in that frame. shoulda been 5 and a tie ballgame...

chip 'fister' caray is as annoying as ever.

44 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 5, 2013 8:14 pm

[41] Unfortunately, that means LHP 4x LHB.

Blargh.

45 rbj   ~  Jul 5, 2013 8:40 pm

Day-um. I remember when Ivan struggled after 4-5 innings.

46 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 5, 2013 8:41 pm

Great job, Ivan.

Just fantastic!

[claps]

47 thelarmis   ~  Jul 5, 2013 8:42 pm

what an incredible performance by Bossa Nova!!!

102 pitches, 70 strikes. 11 K's, 1 BB, 3 H, 2 R

awesome. and he'll most likely lose... hard luck.

48 thelarmis   ~  Jul 5, 2013 8:44 pm

braves having some hard luck, too. they're down by a run in the 9th. if it weren't for bad calls, they'd be UP by a run. bollocks.

now i have to watch papelbitch and listen to fister caray...

49 thelarmis   ~  Jul 5, 2013 8:45 pm

good start!

50 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 5, 2013 8:46 pm

NOW you can bunt, Ichiro!

51 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jul 5, 2013 8:46 pm

Cheers, gang! Been watching over at my dad's house. Damn, Nova was sharp tonight. First 2 on! Let's go Yankees!

52 thelarmis   ~  Jul 5, 2013 8:48 pm

53 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 5, 2013 8:48 pm
