Love that Torre basically told Big Pouty to shut up about the official scorers.

2 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 20, 2014 6:14 pm

For the life of me I can't find the game. Anyone know what channel it's on?

3 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 20, 2014 6:15 pm

(Found it, never mind, thanks.)

4 rbj   ~  Jun 20, 2014 6:16 pm

[2] MLB network, or My9. Directv channel 726

5 rbj   ~  Jun 20, 2014 6:17 pm

Good start for Kuroda.

6 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 20, 2014 6:24 pm

That was funny!

"Whoa!!!" is everyone's response!

7 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 20, 2014 6:24 pm

[4] Cheers!

8 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 20, 2014 6:24 pm

Ellsbury's scores runs like his name is Rickey Henderson!

9 RIYank   ~  Jun 20, 2014 6:25 pm

Jacoby Ellsbury really hates first base. Maybe he's allergic.

Yay Mark!

10 rbj   ~  Jun 20, 2014 6:25 pm

Me!

11 RIYank   ~  Jun 20, 2014 6:26 pm

[8] What's in a name? A run by any other name would smell as sweet.

12 RIYank   ~  Jun 20, 2014 6:37 pm

Good start.

(For the bottom of the second I mean.)

13 RIYank   ~  Jun 20, 2014 6:40 pm

Bad. Bad Ichiro.

14 RIYank   ~  Jun 20, 2014 6:41 pm

Good.
Good Brian.

I live in a simple, black-and-white world.

15 rbj   ~  Jun 20, 2014 6:41 pm

C'mon, Jervis

16 RIYank   ~  Jun 20, 2014 6:43 pm

Oooh. Definitely take that.

Brett with the bases juiced...

17 rbj   ~  Jun 20, 2014 6:43 pm

I'll take that walk
C'mon Brett

18 RIYank   ~  Jun 20, 2014 6:45 pm

Fuck.

Adam Jones.

Not even close.

19 rbj   ~  Jun 20, 2014 6:45 pm

Damn it

20 RIYank   ~  Jun 20, 2014 6:54 pm

Ugh.

21 rbj   ~  Jun 20, 2014 6:54 pm

Error

22 kenboyer made me cry   ~  Jun 20, 2014 6:55 pm

Ichiro was robbed on strike three Huntley got a ball called on a much better high pitch,

23 RIYank   ~  Jun 20, 2014 6:56 pm

Okay.
Had to get an extra out. And, no perfecto for Kuroda. But, no big deal.

24 kenboyer made me cry   ~  Jun 20, 2014 6:57 pm

I'm still bitter the Yanks didn't score last inning.

25 rbj   ~  Jun 20, 2014 6:57 pm

good start Hiroki.

26 kenboyer made me cry   ~  Jun 20, 2014 6:59 pm

Gotta go to dinner. Banter up a Yankee win...

27 RIYank   ~  Jun 20, 2014 7:08 pm

I guess it was Mattingly. Is that right? I'm bad at these questions, but that seems easy. Only Paul is not sure, so maybe not.

28 RIYank   ~  Jun 20, 2014 7:14 pm

Got 'im.

Kuroda's best game of the season, so far.

29 rbj   ~  Jun 20, 2014 7:15 pm

Shut up Kay.

30 RIYank   ~  Jun 20, 2014 7:25 pm

Ichiro was out by an inch, literally. Guess I can't complain. But in general I would prefer that ONLY Jacoby steal. I guess Roberts and Gardner when they feel really sure they can make it.

31 rbj   ~  Jun 20, 2014 7:36 pm

His pitch count is too damn high

32 RIYank   ~  Jun 20, 2014 7:36 pm

Great five innings -- no hits, one BB, 6 K. But, 82 pitches, damn.

33 RIYank   ~  Jun 20, 2014 7:37 pm

Obviously 'damn' is the correct epithet for a too-high pitch count.

34 rbj   ~  Jun 20, 2014 7:39 pm

[33] Indeed. We need some quick innings here.

35 rbj   ~  Jun 20, 2014 7:45 pm

Another steal

36 rbj   ~  Jun 20, 2014 7:48 pm

Kuroda's getting a bit of a rest

37 rbj   ~  Jun 20, 2014 7:49 pm

Aw crap

38 cult of basebaal   ~  Jun 20, 2014 7:49 pm

82 pitches going into the 6th?

Magic 8 Ball says ... unlikely.

39 RIYank   ~  Jun 20, 2014 7:49 pm

Good trick by Jimenez, loading the bases. Sure way to get out of the inning without a run.

40 cult of basebaal   ~  Jun 20, 2014 7:53 pm

Hiroki ain't no spring chicken.

I'd let him go 120+ (if he doesn't struggle or get into a high inning pitch count) and then skip him next turn.

Oooops, well, that's that.

41 rbj   ~  Jun 20, 2014 7:54 pm

Aw nuts. Probably for the best considering the damn pitch count

42 cult of basebaal   ~  Jun 20, 2014 7:56 pm

[41] TOO DAMN HIGH!

43 cult of basebaal   ~  Jun 20, 2014 7:56 pm

Well, FUCK BAGS.

44 rbj   ~  Jun 20, 2014 7:57 pm

Fuck, not even a shut out

45 RIYank   ~  Jun 20, 2014 7:58 pm

Two damn runs.

46 rbj   ~  Jun 20, 2014 7:58 pm

Or a lead.

47 cult of basebaal   ~  Jun 20, 2014 7:58 pm

What [43] said ...

48 RIYank   ~  Jun 20, 2014 7:58 pm

[44] Not even a lead.

49 RIYank   ~  Jun 20, 2014 8:02 pm

Wow, from no-no to crappy game in no time.

50 cult of basebaal   ~  Jun 20, 2014 8:03 pm

Ok, OBVIOUSLY I'm to blame here.

No hits against Kuroda before I showed up ... hits and runs AFTER I showed up ... I'm gone!

51 RIYank   ~  Jun 20, 2014 8:07 pm

[50] I'm planning to sacrifice you to the Great Ladybug Goddess, to set the universe aright again.

52 RIYank   ~  Jun 20, 2014 8:08 pm

It worked. (I just used an effigy.)

53 rbj   ~  Jun 20, 2014 8:13 pm

Another good start. Now cash them in!

54 rbj   ~  Jun 20, 2014 8:14 pm

Crud

55 rbj   ~  Jun 20, 2014 8:16 pm

Oy

56 rbj   ~  Jun 20, 2014 8:18 pm

Just a bit outside

57 RIYank   ~  Jun 20, 2014 8:18 pm

[53] What is this "cash them in"?

58 RIYank   ~  Jun 20, 2014 8:19 pm

Okay, Brett, here we go. Be a hero.

59 rbj   ~  Jun 20, 2014 8:25 pm

[57] something other teams can do with RISP.

60 rbj   ~  Jun 20, 2014 8:25 pm

But we can't

61 rbj   ~  Jun 20, 2014 8:32 pm

Stop doing the wave!

62 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 20, 2014 9:35 pm

Hey Jetes, can you manage to do something other than hit a soft ground ball?

63 thelarmis   ~  Jun 20, 2014 9:36 pm

C'mon Cap'n!!!

64 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 20, 2014 9:38 pm

That answers my question.

65 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 20, 2014 9:41 pm

What a frustrating game.

66 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 20, 2014 9:45 pm

Nice job McCann.

67 RIYank   ~  Jun 20, 2014 9:48 pm

Oh.My.God.

68 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 20, 2014 9:49 pm

WOWWWWWWW!!!!!!

69 RIYank   ~  Jun 20, 2014 9:49 pm

[65] Not exactly the word I would choose for this game, 'frustrating'.

70 rbj   ~  Jun 20, 2014 9:50 pm

well that's a stunning end to a game I Dialed out of.

71 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 20, 2014 9:50 pm

I can't believe that. That was the old stuff.

72 thelarmis   ~  Jun 20, 2014 9:52 pm

BELI!!!!

73 RIYank   ~  Jun 20, 2014 9:52 pm

[71] It really was.
Although, the new stuff kind of led up to it.
It was a synthesis.

74 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 20, 2014 9:54 pm

As I was saying…

Headline for the morning?

How about: Carlito's Way.

75 thelarmis   ~  Jun 20, 2014 9:54 pm

I'd like to take credit for that win. I just gave Sophia a pink Jeter shirt, then had her watch the 9th. I taught her about balls, strikes, outs, hits, runs, etc.

We were crossing fingers, toes, eyes, tongues, and hair. Then BELI went yard. She's a good luck charm I tell ya!!! : )

76 RIYank   ~  Jun 20, 2014 9:55 pm

Well thanks, Sophia!

But no more pink, please. That's for Red Sox.

77 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 20, 2014 9:56 pm

[73] laughing

Yes, indeed.

A good old Hegelian synthesis.

78 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 20, 2014 9:56 pm

[75]

:)

79 thelarmis   ~  Jun 20, 2014 9:59 pm

RI - if they had a rainbow color shirt, I would've chosen that color!

80 thelarmis   ~  Jun 20, 2014 10:02 pm

Sophia wants to write something here:

Let's go Yankees, let's go! Woop woop : )

81 RIYank   ~  Jun 20, 2014 10:02 pm

[79] Ah, perfect. Okay, I hereby deem Jeter-Pink to be Rainbow.

82 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 20, 2014 10:02 pm

81) Woop, Woop sister!

83 RIYank   ~  Jun 20, 2014 10:03 pm

Welcome aboard, Sophia!

84 RIYank   ~  Jun 20, 2014 10:07 pm

My god, the Blue Jays were down 8-0. They're now winning 14-9.

85 thelarmis   ~  Jun 20, 2014 10:14 pm

Thanks guys!!!

(She's in bed now...)
