Waiting for Lefty

photo

This frog butt to all the fuss about the pine tar. You know it’s a non-issue when even David Ortiz, who’s never shy to ham it up, let it slide. Game Two of this four-game set rocks tonight with Lester and Skinny C dueling. Got off on the right foot last night, now hop to the left with the southpaws. It will be interesting to see how Sabathia goes after this tough lineup with his softer stuff.

Don't listen to DeRosa -- he's a Communist1. "DeRosa" means "from the Reds"!

Hahahahahahah!

Indeed, RI.

3 RIYank   ~  Apr 11, 2014 5:00 pm

Aha. I was thinking to myself, "This will invoke Weeping for Brunhilde," and it did!

4 rbj   ~  Apr 11, 2014 6:15 pm

I don't have a problem with walking Ortiz.

5 RIYank   ~  Apr 11, 2014 6:16 pm

Very nice.

Now let's tag Lester oily.

6 RIYank   ~  Apr 11, 2014 6:23 pm

Well, that was... efficient.

7 RIYank   ~  Apr 11, 2014 6:31 pm

That was very excellent.

8 rbj   ~  Apr 11, 2014 6:34 pm

Ah it's Ryan Roberts. Kept wondering why Kay was putting Brian Roberts on the Red Sox.

9 RIYank   ~  Apr 11, 2014 6:40 pm

[8] Heh. Also, you forgot to say, "Who the hell is Ryan Roberts?"

Ryan Roberts is now my favorite Red Sock. All through spring training the RSN line has been, "The Yankees got some expensive players but they have no depth." The fact that the Sox had to acquire Roberts (when Middlebrooks went on the DL) is I think pretty clear evidence that they're the ones who lacked infield depth. (Both teams have good bench outfielders, of course.)

I guess that hit Jeter smashed has rattled Lester, huh?

11 RIYank   ~  Apr 11, 2014 6:54 pm

Oh crud.
Beltran kind of sucks from the right side of the plate.

12 RIYank   ~  Apr 11, 2014 7:12 pm

Strikes, formerly huge man. Throw strikes.

13 RIYank   ~  Apr 11, 2014 7:20 pm

Bravo, formerly huge man!

14 RIYank   ~  Apr 11, 2014 7:20 pm

Damn, the Banter is almost as silent as the Red Sox' bats

15 rbj   ~  Apr 11, 2014 7:20 pm

It's good CC tonight.

16 mhoward120   ~  Apr 11, 2014 7:22 pm

Who is this Big Fella on the mound tonite? He looks awfully familiar but I don't think I've seen him in quite a while.

17 RIYank   ~  Apr 11, 2014 7:26 pm

Sigh.

18 rbj   ~  Apr 11, 2014 7:29 pm

Crap.

19 RIYank   ~  Apr 11, 2014 7:30 pm

Hmph.
I blame mhoward for that.

20 rbj   ~  Apr 11, 2014 7:34 pm

infield hit for Big Papi?

21 kenboyer made me cry   ~  Apr 11, 2014 7:34 pm

[19] I think Shemp's to blame.

22 RIYank   ~  Apr 11, 2014 7:36 pm

Wow, that went south fast.

23 rbj   ~  Apr 11, 2014 7:36 pm

Aw fuck

24 kenboyer made me cry   ~  Apr 11, 2014 7:39 pm

That pitch to Sizemore was a mixer down the middle?

25 rbj   ~  Apr 11, 2014 7:44 pm

Bats time to make some noise.

26 rbj   ~  Apr 11, 2014 7:51 pm

Sori has twice as many homers as the Royals do.

27 coleman42   ~  Apr 11, 2014 8:00 pm

Cone overpraising CC, who cares about his pitch selection, location. Jeez, Yanks are losing, and CC's pattern of getting through 5 then imploding continues!

28 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 11, 2014 8:02 pm

Well, for 6 innings, that was a really encouraging game from the somewhat-big man.

29 mhoward120   ~  Apr 11, 2014 8:12 pm

(19). Ok, you're right. This will be my very last post. You won't have Richard Nixon to kick around anymore.

30 rbj   ~  Apr 11, 2014 8:14 pm

Lester angry. You no like Lester when he's angry.

31 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 11, 2014 8:18 pm

K.J.!!!

32 rbj   ~  Apr 11, 2014 8:20 pm

Lester give up hits.

33 rbj   ~  Apr 11, 2014 8:23 pm

Argh, Derek.

34 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 11, 2014 8:23 pm

Well, 1 back, that's a start, but it's just going to get harder from here ...

35 seamus   ~  Apr 11, 2014 8:37 pm

so, uninspiring game?

36 rbj   ~  Apr 11, 2014 8:39 pm

Decent job by Warren

37 rbj   ~  Apr 11, 2014 8:45 pm

[35] Yup.

38 seamus   ~  Apr 11, 2014 8:51 pm

my mlb.tv is so broken. It keeps playing the same audio and video over and over again.

39 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 11, 2014 9:01 pm

Dancin' Bentances!

40 seamus   ~  Apr 11, 2014 9:07 pm

running out of outs.

41 coleman42   ~  Apr 11, 2014 9:08 pm

Brett, our last hope...please don't strike out.

42 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 11, 2014 9:09 pm

Well, that was fucking weak.

43 seamus   ~  Apr 11, 2014 9:13 pm

oh well. good night folks. tomorrow is a new day! other great facts available for a small fee.

44 RIYank   ~  Apr 12, 2014 11:40 am

Waiting for lefty? Waiting for game thread, how about?

No Jeter today. I want my money back.

45 seamus   ~  Apr 12, 2014 12:00 pm

please let's not continue last night's game...

46 rbj   ~  Apr 12, 2014 12:07 pm
