I still do a double-take when I see "Ellsbury" in the list. For some reason I've accepted Beltran with no cognitive dissonance.
Maybe by May...

I am really in the mood for a baseball game. Let's start early!

3 RIYank   ~  Apr 25, 2014 6:11 pm

Good hustle, Teix.

4 RIYank   ~  Apr 25, 2014 6:16 pm

A team with Albert Pujols and Mike Trout, and the clean-up hitter is... Raul Ibanez.
Scioscia is way too deep for me.

5 RIYank   ~  Apr 25, 2014 6:17 pm

Raul makes me eat my words.

6 RIYank   ~  Apr 25, 2014 6:18 pm

Nice job.
Okay, I can carry this myself apparently -- at least while we're in the field. I might need help to score some runs.

7 RIYank   ~  Apr 25, 2014 6:29 pm

Or hits.
At least I was patient and ran up CJ's pitch count.

8 RIYank   ~  Apr 25, 2014 6:36 pm

Ian Stewart. Very irritating.

9 RIYank   ~  Apr 25, 2014 6:37 pm

Man, he hit into the shift, and if Roberts hadn't shifted it would have been a very easy play.

10 RIYank   ~  Apr 25, 2014 6:38 pm

Hm.

I may need some help, amigos.

11 RIYank   ~  Apr 25, 2014 6:40 pm

Yipe. Bad hitter doubles on an 0-2 count. Not good.

12 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 25, 2014 6:43 pm

Grrrr ... down 3-0 already?

Fuck the Angels.

13 RIYank   ~  Apr 25, 2014 6:44 pm

[12] It's because Scioscia is a genius. Girardi has been helpless.

14 RIYank   ~  Apr 25, 2014 6:54 pm

Brian, wtf are you looking at?

Argh.

15 RIYank   ~  Apr 25, 2014 7:04 pm

WTF?

Not a fun game.

16 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 25, 2014 7:04 pm

5 to fucking Nothing?!?!?!?

Fuck this shit.

17 coleman42   ~  Apr 25, 2014 7:16 pm

3 f-bombs already, Cult?

18 RIYank   ~  Apr 25, 2014 7:25 pm

[17] You watching? The words are well-chosen, believe me.

19 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 25, 2014 7:28 pm

[17] I come pre-pissed off when we're playing the Angels ...

20 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 25, 2014 7:40 pm

Sigh.

Alright, I've got better things to do ...

21 coleman42   ~  Apr 25, 2014 8:02 pm

CJ appears to have tamed the Yankee bats.

22 cult of basebaal   ~  Apr 25, 2014 8:04 pm

J.B. Shuck sounds like the name of some focus-group spawned, middle-brow, buzzword driven "bistro" ...

23 coleman42   ~  Apr 25, 2014 8:38 pm

Billings rocks, I think. Except for the Aybar blast.

24 coleman42   ~  Apr 25, 2014 8:39 pm

I take that back! Get him out of there.

25 coleman42   ~  Apr 25, 2014 8:43 pm

Good night, you two.

26 MSM35   ~  Apr 25, 2014 9:38 pm

I am starting to get the impression that Kuroda is going in the other direction. He tired badly last year and has had trouble in his last couple of starts. There are only so many bullets in the gun. Fortunately, the team seems to be much better offensively this year so they can carry a mediocre starter or two.
