The so-so Yanks host the crappy Sox this weekend in the Bronx.
Hey, Nuno, try not sucking:
Brett Gardner LF
Derek Jeter SS
Jacoby Ellsbury CF
Mark Teixeira 1B
Carlos Beltran DH
Brian McCann C
Brian Roberts 2B
Ichiro Suzuki RF
Kelly Johnson 3B
Just don’t get swept, fellas.
Never mind the horseshit:
Let’s Go Yank-ees!
Have we hit that "Yankees trying to prove some stupid point" phase with Nuno?
Tanke a seat My Little Pony.
Color me surprised.
That'll do
Ichi-san!
911 I'd like to report a stolen home run
Remember when Pony was a dangerous hitter?
Mattpat, still hate the shift?
Gosh, that's great. I'm so glad Brett bunted him on to second, so he'd be in scoring position when Jeter got a hit.
Blergh. Of course.
Oh lovely, turned on the game just in time to see the Yanks shit the bases-loaded-one-out bed
Man, the Sox make Nuño look good.
I'm concerned that this is going to earn him another start. Or four more. Does Joe understand that these batters suck?
Kelly Krush!
KJ goes boom!
That didn't suck
[12] What's your alternative?
Whoa.
Can we play the Red Sox thirty times this year, please?
POWER SURGE!
Dang, missed Brett's shot, letting a dog out
[16] Preston Claiborn? Give someone else a shot. Nuño is bad.
[20] Claiborn left the game with some sort of shoulder problem 2 nights ago. Not much in the way of options ...
4-0, nice.
Bobby Womack, The Poet, dead at age 70. Club in the sky just got a bit more soulful :(
[19] I had to let my pants out watching too much sports.
Hey Alex, this so so team is only 1 game behind in the loss column from the first place team. Hard to believe but if the Yanks pick up a bat and get some pitching back or find some they can win the division. The playoffs, well that's a different story, but a hot team always had a chance.
Let's see what character the team, management, and the fans have for the second half.
[21] Hm. I dunno, I'd just like someone else from SWB to get a shot. How about this guy?
[22] and Teenie Harris the great soul session guitarist just passed away. Al Green's secret weapon, the riffs on "Take Me to the River" and "Love and Happiness" are all time.
Interesting. I wonder why. Seems illogical to me -- Nuño didn't look worse against Ortiz, did he? Maybe they've charted his pitch count.
OK, fans not interfering .
Who is this guy and I don't care what they did with Nuno.
Hey RI, maybe Nuno is good only against NE teams? Anyway...clap clap for Nuno and I don't mean a STD.
Damn that kid covers a lot of outfield.
(Can't hit though.)
Jeez, Dellin is like 20 inches taller than Larry Rothschild.
Nice snag kid
Eckersley is very impressed with Betances.
Dellin is dealin'
I would let a Lesser Reliever throw the eighth inning. Because I'd love to have a rested Warren and D-Rob available tomorrow if there are high-leverage ABs.
Sounds like a chance for J. Ramirez.
Derek featuring the neck bling tonight
That was a 23-pitch, 1-2-3 inning.
This is the current World Champion baseball team. Hard to believe...
Nope. Warren.
[34] I guess that's not going to happen.
[40] Not in the binder, I guess ...
Well, it was a good inning for him, anyway.
Definitely no D-Rob for the ninth, right?
[42] joe wants a homestand first game win. Good chance DRob pitches.
[42] I'm fearing it will be. Joe wants to get this win and not worry about tomorrow and D-Rob hasn't pitched much lately and I can predict what he's going to say.
Now a six run lead. . . Send Warren back out?
And that kid also covers a lot of outfield.
911 the thief's name is Holt.
Uh. Am I waaaaaay behind, watching NESN? It's a six run lead???
Wow, I am indeed that far behind!
That was great.
McCAN!
Somehow, I'm several minutes behind ...
I would not send Warren back out. With just the one inning under his belt, he can still pitch tomorrow. Send in a scrub.
Thanks McCann
After this win give a listen to Across 110St. in memory of Bobby Womack.
That was a shot! Reached the McCann at McDonalds on Jerome Ave.
thealarmist is getting married tomorrow, right?
[44] Were you predicting or was it 6-0 when you wrote that?
[54] Right!
THROW. FUCKING. STRIKES.
Ah Thornton.
THANK. YOU.
I am oddly happy to see Thornton up there, by the way.
[55] Wishful thinking.
One down
Not a bad play for a 40-year old.
Two down
Three down!
Well done, lads, well done.
Easy win, shutout, saved at least enough relief pitching to back up Tanaka-san tomorrow.
Good win, g'nite everybody.
Jeter getting through it. Getting embarrassed has to be his worst fear.
Nice Yankee win again the World Champions. And less than three hours, not your pappy's Yanks-Sox game
