Our man Hiroki, looking to rebound after a so-so start against the Red Sox, goes tonight in Tampa. Yanks on the creep.

Is it real or is it memorex?

No Michael Kay!

All I have is the mlb feed from Tampa :(

3 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 23, 2013 6:14 pm

[1] Piniella instead. That's a horrible trade off.

4 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 23, 2013 6:20 pm

Great hit, Fonzie. Eat shit, Maddon!

5 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 23, 2013 6:21 pm

Fuck your shift!

6 rbj   ~  Aug 23, 2013 6:25 pm

[3] I just consider it a change of scenery.

7 mhoward120   ~  Aug 23, 2013 6:28 pm

Remember that 1st inning small ball that Joe played for a long time this season? With Kuroda on the mound, I really feel that this is the way to go this game.

8 mhoward120   ~  Aug 23, 2013 6:31 pm

I was thinking - could this become the most exciting regular season we've experienced since 1978.

9 RIYank   ~  Aug 23, 2013 6:45 pm

[8] I'll take a replay of 1978, thanks.

10 RIYank   ~  Aug 23, 2013 6:45 pm

Yes, James Loney should bunt. For sure.

Even Joe Maddon overthinks it occasionally, huh?

11 mhoward120   ~  Aug 23, 2013 6:46 pm

(9) No Yom Kippur playoff.

12 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 23, 2013 6:53 pm

Of course. Mother FUCKER!

13 rbj   ~  Aug 23, 2013 6:53 pm

Aw crap.

14 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 23, 2013 6:54 pm

Well, fuckshitdammit.

15 RIYank   ~  Aug 23, 2013 6:54 pm

[12] Exactly the word that came to my lips. Only you made it two words.

16 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 23, 2013 6:54 pm

I just love 2 out 3 run jobs on hanging slider meatballs.

17 mhoward120   ~  Aug 23, 2013 6:55 pm

At least it's not Game Over already.

18 RIYank   ~  Aug 23, 2013 6:55 pm

[14] That's also a good one. We don't have to quibble about word differentiation.

19 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Aug 23, 2013 6:56 pm

3 weeks ago, game over. Not tonight.

20 RIYank   ~  Aug 23, 2013 6:59 pm

Excellent. Having Chris Stewart bunt is the perfect answer to Maddon asking Loney to bunt.

21 RIYank   ~  Aug 23, 2013 7:01 pm

Jesus H Christ. What is it about the Trop that makes everybody all goddam bunt-happy???

22 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 23, 2013 7:01 pm

Um, if that's another injury ... I'm going to get stabby!

23 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 23, 2013 7:02 pm

Ugh, that could easily be a broken hand.

24 mhoward120   ~  Aug 23, 2013 7:02 pm

Jeez, do these guys get bounties for putting our guys out of commission?

25 thelarmis   ~  Aug 23, 2013 7:05 pm

Well, this is turning into a load o' shit really fast.

26 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 23, 2013 7:06 pm

Way to steal on the 0-2 slider in the dirt, Brett. What? That didn't happen. Never mind.

27 RIYank   ~  Aug 23, 2013 7:10 pm

Narrow strike zone is not helping Hiro.

Strangely, I think the zone is wider for LH batters.

28 RIYank   ~  Aug 23, 2013 7:13 pm

Argh.

29 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Aug 23, 2013 7:14 pm

Oy

30 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 23, 2013 7:14 pm

This a very, Very, VERY bad time for Hiroki to turn into a fucking pumpkin ...

31 RIYank   ~  Aug 23, 2013 7:14 pm

[29] Thank you for translating [28].

32 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 23, 2013 7:15 pm

So much for Hiro going 50+ innings w/o allowing a homer. He did start another 2/3 inning streak at least. Now to start another.

33 RIYank   ~  Aug 23, 2013 7:16 pm

Ummm.
??????

WTF?

34 mhoward120   ~  Aug 23, 2013 7:16 pm

Is this fucking Home Run Derby?

35 rbj   ~  Aug 23, 2013 7:16 pm

MotherfuckingModamnedbullshit!

36 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 23, 2013 7:17 pm

Ugh.

37 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 23, 2013 7:17 pm

I'd go mow my lawn but it's too dark. Might do it anyway. Fuck you Trop you worthless dump of disgusting piece of shit "ballpark."

38 RIYank   ~  Aug 23, 2013 7:30 pm

I knew it was a bad idea for Hiroki to be working out with Hughes.

39 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 23, 2013 7:33 pm

Well, fuckbags, that's it for me.

Gargh.

40 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 23, 2013 7:34 pm

Ugh. If CC shits the bed tomorrow it's going to be gloomy again. Not to say this game's over but WTF Kuroda? [38] It's got to be the Hughes.

41 monkeypants   ~  Aug 23, 2013 7:40 pm

I guess playing the Rays is a little different than taking on the Jays. Or Twins, for that matter.

42 RIYank   ~  Aug 23, 2013 7:48 pm

[41] Yeah, but shouldn't it be, like, one run per game different?

43 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 23, 2013 7:54 pm

The good news for Kuroda is that in his next start he just needs to do the exact opposite.

44 rbj   ~  Aug 23, 2013 7:54 pm

I'm going to go hit my head with a hammer. Less painful than this shit sandwich.

45 RIYank   ~  Aug 23, 2013 7:56 pm

[43] Did Costanza make the move to YSII?

46 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 23, 2013 8:07 pm

I am unemployed and I live with my parents. lol....

47 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 23, 2013 8:25 pm

From Jesus robbed Stewart. Rats!

48 rbj   ~  Aug 23, 2013 8:27 pm

Between Kawasaki last series and Archer tonight, it looks like baseball players are getting younger and younger.

49 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 23, 2013 8:39 pm

Atta boy, Brett. Picked off down 5. Horseshit.

50 RIYank   ~  Aug 23, 2013 8:39 pm

[48] Huh. I wouldn't mind that. Maybe I should become a baseball player.

51 rbj   ~  Aug 23, 2013 8:40 pm

Blerg. Gonna switch to a drill on my head.

52 rbj   ~  Aug 23, 2013 8:43 pm

[50] Too Twilight Zone for me. Wouldn't mind being mid 30s again, though.

Night all.

53 kenboyer made me cry   ~  Aug 23, 2013 8:52 pm

Who is this Joba chap? He seems like a real fireman in the bullpen.

It's opposite Friday.
