Off to watch the Mud Hens, have fun kids.

2 Chyll Will   ~  Aug 8, 2014 5:37 pm

[0] heh. Hopefully he won't blow...

3 RIYank   ~  Aug 8, 2014 6:41 pm

[2] He did.

I mean, this is a very fun inning. Still, Esmil didn't make me smilE.

4 RIYank   ~  Aug 8, 2014 6:42 pm

I wish we had a guy named Miles.

5 RIYank   ~  Aug 8, 2014 6:56 pm

Nice easy inning for Esm.

So where is everybody? I hope no one got run over by the Score Truck.

6 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 8, 2014 7:21 pm

Nice try, Kipnis.

Good job by Blue to call him on it.

7 RIYank   ~  Aug 8, 2014 7:34 pm

[6] Paul and Michael got a little confused about the rules on that one, too.

8 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 8, 2014 7:35 pm

Gritner!

9 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 8, 2014 7:36 pm

[6] I think they're right in that I've seen it not called when the effort was more subtle, but that was not ... subtle.

10 RIYank   ~  Aug 8, 2014 8:01 pm

Well, Esmil made me smilE after all.

11 RIYank   ~  Aug 8, 2014 8:21 pm

Hufflepuff.

12 RIYank   ~  Aug 8, 2014 8:24 pm

In case you were wondering whether Huff was going to be CC's replacement.

13 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 8, 2014 8:24 pm

Um, why is Huff still in this game?

14 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 8, 2014 8:28 pm

Pepe le Phew ...

15 kenboyer made me cry   ~  Aug 8, 2014 8:29 pm

Hello fellers. Friday night Yanks. Did Huff spoil Esmil 's victory? Nah...Ichiro saves it.

16 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 8, 2014 8:37 pm

Bunt! Bunt!! Bunt!!!

17 RIYank   ~  Aug 8, 2014 8:39 pm

A play!

And now, the dreaded IBB. So Tito makes the worse of the two bad moves.

18 RIYank   ~  Aug 8, 2014 8:42 pm

Oh yeah!

Make them PAY, Carlos!

Salami time!

19 thelarmis   ~  Aug 8, 2014 8:44 pm

BELI!!!

i just turned in to see it go.

how many grand slams did Kay say he has now?

20 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 8, 2014 8:44 pm

Play Works ... x4!!!

21 kenboyer made me cry   ~  Aug 8, 2014 8:45 pm

Bellie, rings it. Shhh, this team is actually good.

22 thelarmis   ~  Aug 8, 2014 8:46 pm

11th. got it...

23 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 8, 2014 8:47 pm

Brains!

24 RIYank   ~  Aug 8, 2014 8:48 pm

[22] Yes, but not all in this game. You understood that, right?

25 RIYank   ~  Aug 8, 2014 8:50 pm

And double digits in honor of the arrival of thelarmis!

26 thelarmis   ~  Aug 8, 2014 8:50 pm

double digits!!

27 kenboyer made me cry   ~  Aug 8, 2014 8:51 pm

Frankie Brains is becoming powerful trade bait. I like him but...

28 thelarmis   ~  Aug 8, 2014 8:52 pm

[24] my understanding is that he has hit 11 grand slams in this game.

MILES SMILE!

29 thelarmis   ~  Aug 8, 2014 8:55 pm

[28] this will greatly help our run differential.

30 RIYank   ~  Aug 8, 2014 9:01 pm

[28] The game would have to be played in 11/4.

31 RIYank   ~  Aug 8, 2014 9:01 pm

(And I know just the guy to do it.)

32 thelarmis   ~  Aug 8, 2014 9:03 pm

our run diff is about to take a hit...

33 RIYank   ~  Aug 8, 2014 9:03 pm

This part of the game is not going so well.
But, it makes you appreciate our good relief pitchers more.

34 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 8, 2014 9:04 pm

Ugh.

THROW STRIKES!

35 RIYank   ~  Aug 8, 2014 9:04 pm

Hey, the Tigers took the lead!

36 kenboyer made me cry   ~  Aug 8, 2014 9:06 pm

Who needs run differential? The Rays have a better one, why care? The Yanks anomaly prove the rule ?

37 RIYank   ~  Aug 8, 2014 9:07 pm

Oh fer gods sake.

Disgusting.

38 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 8, 2014 9:07 pm

Well, that was fucking awful.

39 kenboyer made me cry   ~  Aug 8, 2014 9:07 pm

Kelly, making me green.

40 RIYank   ~  Aug 8, 2014 9:08 pm

Oh well, he picked a good day to suck, I guess.

41 RIYank   ~  Aug 8, 2014 9:10 pm

Oysh.

Okay, time for some damn OUTS.

42 kenboyer made me cry   ~  Aug 8, 2014 9:12 pm

No outs, three runs in. Vey is mir

43 RIYank   ~  Aug 8, 2014 9:14 pm

[42] We say 'iz' where I come from! Interesting.

44 thelarmis   ~  Aug 8, 2014 9:16 pm

[30] i get that! just like i got the early anagrams.

i get things!!

45 RIYank   ~  Aug 8, 2014 9:16 pm

Attaboy.
Adam Warren: still good.

46 RIYank   ~  Aug 8, 2014 9:18 pm

[44] Good for you!
Esmil will smile at you (and Mr. Davis, of course).

47 kenboyer made me cry   ~  Aug 8, 2014 9:18 pm

[42],so do we! but that damn "automiscorrect" is not my friend. Thanks for your input.

48 thelarmis   ~  Aug 8, 2014 9:18 pm

i'm upstairs eating dinner and my laptop doesn't like mlb.tv very much at all.

how did Mac suffer a mild concussion?

49 RIYank   ~  Aug 8, 2014 9:20 pm

[48] Foul tip.

50 RIYank   ~  Aug 8, 2014 9:21 pm

Iz you iz
Or iz you aint
Mein bubbeleh?

51 thelarmis   ~  Aug 8, 2014 9:21 pm

The 'Tolo notched his 200th win tonight. that goes along with 2,000 career strikeout.

(yes, he won 200 games *tonight*!)

52 thelarmis   ~  Aug 8, 2014 9:22 pm

[50] that's from Five Guys Named Moses.

[49] acha.

53 RIYank   ~  Aug 8, 2014 9:24 pm

[51] Damn.

Hey, did you know that Brett Gardner made two outs in the first inning? Not as impressive as winning 200 games in one night or hitting eleven grand slams, but still unusual.

54 RIYank   ~  Aug 8, 2014 9:25 pm

The Jays are making it interesting. Two on, two out in the bottom of the ninth, Tigers up 5-4... 2-0 count to Francisco...

55 RIYank   ~  Aug 8, 2014 9:26 pm

3-0...

56 thelarmis   ~  Aug 8, 2014 9:26 pm

no history tonight...

gritner gave the ball a ride...

57 RIYank   ~  Aug 8, 2014 9:27 pm

Bases loaded.

Josh Thole is up, but I don't think there's anyone left on the Jay bench.

58 RIYank   ~  Aug 8, 2014 9:29 pm

Joe Nathan retires Thole on a foul out for the save!

So that went well for us. Nice comeback win for Detroit.

59 thelarmis   ~  Aug 8, 2014 9:29 pm

Blow J's lose.

60 thelarmis   ~  Aug 8, 2014 9:32 pm

let's hope for a comeback win from the giants, as well.

(they're playing the royales.)

61 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 8, 2014 9:33 pm

Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be ... catchers!

62 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 8, 2014 9:40 pm

Ugh.

Rich Hill.

Just bring up that guy we drafted this year already.

He couldn't be worse ...

63 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 8, 2014 9:41 pm

Hey, awesome!

Rich Hill still sucks.

64 RIYank   ~  Aug 8, 2014 9:41 pm

Hey, big day for Rich Hill!

(Isn't that where Richie Rich lived?)

65 kenboyer made me cry   ~  Aug 8, 2014 9:43 pm

The foul tip McCann took straight to mask produced a shock wave on his face flesh.

66 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 8, 2014 9:44 pm

[65] Concussions are going to re-write the face of most modern sports ...

67 RIYank   ~  Aug 8, 2014 9:45 pm

[65] A semi-pro catcher told me it's like getting punched in the face with a boxing glove.

68 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 8, 2014 9:47 pm

Frankie FUCKING Brains.

Needs. More. At. Bats.

69 RIYank   ~  Aug 8, 2014 9:47 pm

He's the best non-Brett batter on the team. Amazing.

70 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 8, 2014 9:52 pm

10-6, huh? Oi.

71 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 8, 2014 9:59 pm

Well, Jeter should have had that.

Or, an average SS should have had that.

Your choice.

72 RIYank   ~  Aug 8, 2014 9:59 pm

Save situation.

73 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 8, 2014 9:59 pm

What a FUCKING game ...

74 RIYank   ~  Aug 8, 2014 10:00 pm

Just blow three 101s my him, baby.

75 RIYank   ~  Aug 8, 2014 10:02 pm

Argh.
Come on!

Triple digits ftw, please!

76 RIYank   ~  Aug 8, 2014 10:02 pm

BAM.

Okay, that'll do.

Fun game!

77 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 8, 2014 10:02 pm

Uh, phew.

Pepe le Phew.

78 thelarmis   ~  Aug 8, 2014 10:03 pm

winning baseball games is not easy.

i enjoy winning baseball games. 200 per game, is my general preference.

79 RIYank   ~  Aug 8, 2014 10:04 pm

99 mph, a little disappointing FTW. I'll expect triple digits next game, Dellin.
