"Big" John Lackey?

More like slack-jawed, mouth-breathing, backpfeiffengesicht John Lackey.

I hope Alex bounces one off of his over-sized dome today.

2 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 17, 2013 3:13 pm

FUCK I hate Lackey.

C'mon Hiroki!

3 RIYank   ~  Aug 17, 2013 3:22 pm

Down goes Dusty!

4 RIYank   ~  Aug 17, 2013 3:22 pm

Down goes Papi!

5 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 17, 2013 3:25 pm

HiroKK!!

6 rbj   ~  Aug 17, 2013 3:26 pm

Is there anything Sori can't do these days?

7 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 17, 2013 3:26 pm

C'mon Alex, crush this douche.

8 rbj   ~  Aug 17, 2013 3:36 pm

Sigh.

9 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 17, 2013 3:36 pm

Tell me again, WTF are we playing Chris Stewart?

Seriously. He's fucking terrible.

He WAS terrible, he IS terrible, he WILL BE terrible.

FUCK.

10 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 17, 2013 3:39 pm

Oh right, his "veteran" presence.

Fuck you Joe, FUCK YOU.

11 rbj   ~  Aug 17, 2013 3:46 pm

Robbie!

12 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 17, 2013 4:01 pm

Robbie is really good at that 2nd base thing.

13 RIYank   ~  Aug 17, 2013 4:09 pm

Clearly safe.

14 RIYank   ~  Aug 17, 2013 4:10 pm

Tim doesn't bother to mention that Soriano was plainly safe.

15 RIYank   ~  Aug 17, 2013 4:22 pm

Good job, Hiro. That's one.

16 RIYank   ~  Aug 17, 2013 4:27 pm

Oh, for fuck's sake.

17 rbj   ~  Aug 17, 2013 4:27 pm

Bleh

18 RIYank   ~  Aug 17, 2013 4:27 pm

Hate to say it but Tim makes a good point...

19 RIYank   ~  Aug 17, 2013 4:29 pm

What? Safe, really?

No, not really. So that's two tag calls we got screwed on.

20 rbj   ~  Aug 17, 2013 4:29 pm

Oy.

21 Joey Blue Eyes   ~  Aug 17, 2013 4:32 pm

Bring on that instant replay . . .

22 RIYank   ~  Aug 17, 2013 4:34 pm

Dammit. That blown call was expensive.

23 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 17, 2013 4:35 pm

Ugh.

Have I mentioned I hate John Lackey???

24 rbj   ~  Aug 17, 2013 4:35 pm

Well of course.

25 RIYank   ~  Aug 17, 2013 4:39 pm

I know Overbay made a poor decision, but I'm pretty sure A-Rod had a hand in it.

26 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 17, 2013 4:43 pm

Almost, Lyle, almost.

27 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 17, 2013 4:44 pm

Fucking garbage, Gritner, fucking garbage.

28 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 17, 2013 4:48 pm

Well, at least Ichiro! got a fucking run in.

C'mon Robbie!

29 RIYank   ~  Aug 17, 2013 4:50 pm

Damn shift.

30 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 17, 2013 4:51 pm

This team needs to die in a fucking dumpster fire.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

31 RIYank   ~  Aug 17, 2013 5:03 pm

Little twerp.

32 rbj   ~  Aug 17, 2013 5:04 pm

How about we all just stop talking about the A-Rod situation.

33 RIYank   ~  Aug 17, 2013 5:05 pm

Little F-ing pony.

34 RIYank   ~  Aug 17, 2013 5:09 pm

Ouch. Not well played.

35 RIYank   ~  Aug 17, 2013 5:15 pm

Grrrrr.
This one's getting away.

36 rbj   ~  Aug 17, 2013 5:21 pm

Yankees on Fox on Saturday = not good.

37 rbj   ~  Aug 17, 2013 6:25 pm

Right now would be a perfect time for Joba. We're down 5 and the bats are lifeless so an additional run or three won't matter.

38 RIYank   ~  Aug 17, 2013 6:26 pm

Good work, Boone.

Anyone else still watching?

39 rbj   ~  Aug 17, 2013 6:35 pm

[38] Not now as it's over. What a freaking waste of time.

40 RIYank   ~  Aug 17, 2013 6:40 pm

Can't predict baseball.

[32] I cannot read enough about A-Rod. Really want to know the full story. Have to keep my own personal feelings in check, because the scandale penetrates so deeply. To accept his story, I have to give up the game, totally. Worse than Black Sox. He says the Yankees threw away the season to extricate themselves from the worst contract ever, except maybe Kevin Brown's. On the Yankee side, everyone had to be in on it from the Steiney's down to the clubhouse attendant. I await a comment from one of his teammates, assuming he had any who talked with him who said that Alex told them he was too injured to play and that the Yankees forced him to go out on the field.

I will await the news, as Frank would say. No sure how he keeps playing or why. And the choice of Tacopina troubles me too. With lawyers the jury is always out, because you always have to believe that the client is in charge. In this case the client is A-Rod.
