So I get to miss Nova during the day game, while at work, but they make it up to me by having Hughes in the nightcap? Sometimes life just ain't fair.

I love WFH days.

Have a sneaky hunch that Nova has great day basebal stats, but couldn't find them. Anyone know where to lok 'em up?

Hughes tonight. I'd say the over/under on HR given up 2.5, and his over/under on IP is 5 2/3rds.

[3] Looks like he's better at night.

[4] Thanks!

Catch the gd ball, Stewart!

Well this game sucks eggs already.

Well at least Phil Hughes is pitching tonight...

Maybe I'm missing the right game after all.

CRACK!!!! 3 run big fly from Robbie!

Don't cha know, it's a ballgame.

Dempster was suspended for 5 games; Girardi fined.

Holy fuggin CHRIS STEWART!!!!!

fuck yeah, motherfucker!!!

[12] he better miss a fucking start. cocksucker. i'm still pissed at that pussy ass coward fucker.

man, dumpster makes me curse sooo much (more than normal, i guess) that my comment is in moderation yet again...

Guess it IS a ballgame...just got to the computer.....

16) I thought what he did was bush but I've actually heard he's a decent guy.

[18] i used to think he was pretty awesome. he's hilarious and really good at impressions.

but that shit the other night was total bollocks. fuck him.

Dumpster suspended 5 games. Wonder if he'll appeal?

whew. too exciting for work

[16] yes, Alex, and I've heard that about A-Rod, too. Doesn't make me like him either. Zim, still my favorite bench coach, and the most honest baseball guy I can name, said it was Bush League so I gotta agree.

Joba warming in the pen. That's an automatic HR for the Jays.

Thanks Joba, now we have to burn Mo.

Why can't they release Joba after this game?

Nice win. Seems like old times, come-from-behind.

22) I meant Dempster not Alex.

Meanwhile, NICE WIN.

Nice job Mo. Maybe he's still available with only a handful of pitches. Next we get Phil. Oy!

Thanks be to Mo.

Alex, I was referring to Dempster, too. Just saying you hear good things about a lot of guys. Doesn't mean they are true. Alex and Dempster may be good guys to their teammates, but character is missing in both of them

robbie now at:

.307/.390/.510

30) Ah, I see, I see. Point taken.

Last night I dreamed Rickey was in our lineup. He was like 55. He lined out to center. A very respectable out.

[33] lol... Rickey only makes respectable outs. Rickey says so.

hahahahahahaha!

It's funny, because I wasn't just watching him at the bat, but was also sort of hanging out with him, got a good exposure to his humanity, his character...he was sort of a pathetic, noble, tragic, comic figure all in one. And human, all too human.

[35] I had a dream many years ago that David Wells knocked on the front door of my parents house while I was over there. We wound up having a beer. Just a few weeks ago that 3rd baseman for the Yanks, the one in all the hot water, what's his name? Anyway, I was hanging out him in the front driveway of my house having a bbq. The mind is an interesting thing.

Wunnerful, just wunnerful.

Phil: You want a prediction about the weather, you’re asking the wrong Phil. I’ll give you a winter prediction: It’s gonna be cold, it’s gonna be grey, and it’s gonna last you for the rest of your life.

Congrats, kid.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH.

Even when Hughes does it right, he gets it wrong ...

:facepalm:

Vintage Hughes.

ROBBIE!

Heh. I love Coney.

No.

Just NO, Kay.

STOP digging.

Hey Joey Joe Joe, I HOPE YOU'RE WATCHING!

I have no idea if matching Romine and Hughes will make a difference over the rest of the season, but Romine is approaching pitch selection *very* differently this game and it seems to be having a positive effect, maybe you should make sure and try it again.

[36] :)

I dreamed about hanging out with Mattingly once, though I don't remember anything about it.

Gah.

Hughes has been good tonight? Huh?

[46] Logging on from Joisey City. Going to Manhattan tomorrow.

I had a dream with Derek Jeter the other day (when I was in Cali). We were walking through this store, perhaps a Target, pursuing some guy who did something bad. We were of the same mind, Jeets and I. He was in street clothes. He picked up an orange/red towel, and I knew he wanted me to douse it with lighter fluid. He would light it and throw it on the guy. As I said, we were of the same mind. I woke up while searching the shelves for something flammable.

Fuck! That is a helluva a play.

No es bueno, Alex.

Ick.

Nix, baby!

Nix!

Wap! Austin hit that one on the button. Lucky double.

ARE YOU WATCHING THIS JOEY JOE JOE?!?!?!!?

[46] A Weeping sighting! and post #46 too!

I want a sweep today. Let's Go Yankees! (I can't stop using exclamation marks! Must re-read the Leonard on Writing post from earlier!)

"It's b/c I was infatuated with Mrs. Robinson from The Graduate."
Cone needs a quote of the day calendar.

Again, ARE YOU PAYING ATTENTION JOEY JOE JOE!?!!?!??

ALEX, WHAT IS GOOD IN LIFE???

CENTAUR: To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women.

YES, THAT IS GOOD!!!

Well, fuck.

Can you at least give me a reach around on this quest?!?!??

Hero the other day, chump today. Drag.

NUNE5!!!!

GRRRRR.

[57] Mrs. Robinson was enticing..but overall I hated that movie.
Following game on my phone, was that just a dish of PastaNunEy?

Nunez now has 11 errors in 500 innings. That seems like a lot.

[64] I dunno, it's far fewer than if we had a corpse, a statue or nobody playing SS ...

[65] I'd give this guy a shot: http://simpsons.wikia.com/wiki/Inanimate_carbon_rod

Nune6 drives me as crazy as anyone but that was a tough error.

[65] But more than a butterfly net

[67] He just missed it.

Nicely done, Mo!

[66] Sorry, that's A-Rod's avatar ...

Good job Mo. Now win this. I need to go to bed

C'mon, WALK-THE-FUCK-OFF!!!

Oh, jeez, is it time for playz???

Nix can be the real hero here

Ichi a go-go.

Okay Jayson. IN THE AIR.

SQUEEZE!!!!!!!

Or that. Hells yeah!

WOO-HOO!

Nixie!

YES, TIME FOR PLAYZ!

ICHIGO!!!

Swell day.

AND NIXIE!!!

Let's Win TWO!

We don't need no score truck, because the Double Dutch Bus is comin' down the street! How about Stewart, Romine, and Nix today? And Hughes...a different tack today for him, and it seemed to work. He's good, right?

This team works through seemingly anything.

Nix made a real strong case for himself today. My Nunez allegiance is flagging quickly. Sub-par defense is so much easier to excuse when you're not batting .248 w/ 1HR.

“We play today, we win today—das it”

The other Mariano.
