Ellsbury CF

Jeter SS

McCann DH

Teixeira 1B

We’ll be root-root-rooting him on.

Never mind the curtain calls:

Let’s Go Yank-ees!

Gotta be a hit for Jeet.

2 rbj   ~  Sep 18, 2014 6:22 pm

Yup.

3 rbj   ~  Sep 18, 2014 6:24 pm

Odd

4 coleman42   ~  Sep 18, 2014 6:41 pm

Swing, Brett!

5 rbj   ~  Sep 18, 2014 6:42 pm

Thief!

6 rbj   ~  Sep 18, 2014 6:51 pm

At least Mark can still flash the leather.

7 RIYank   ~  Sep 18, 2014 6:52 pm

Hey, who were the regular commenters who referred to one another as "My fellow Scotsman"? That has a whole different meaning today, I was just thinking.

8 RIYank   ~  Sep 18, 2014 7:08 pm

Ooof. Robbed.

9 coleman42   ~  Sep 18, 2014 7:12 pm

Yanks' BA with RISP during last travel series was .095! That is unprecedented.

10 rbj   ~  Sep 18, 2014 7:13 pm

And a.175 BA. Oof.

11 coleman42   ~  Sep 18, 2014 7:22 pm

At this rate, it'll be a 2:20 game...

12 RIYank   ~  Sep 18, 2014 7:25 pm

A run!!!!

Glory glory!

13 rbj   ~  Sep 18, 2014 7:27 pm

Hallelujah

14 coleman42   ~  Sep 18, 2014 7:27 pm

One may be enough tonight. Greene is on fire

15 coleman42   ~  Sep 18, 2014 7:40 pm

Long time coming, but welcome!

16 rbj   ~  Sep 18, 2014 7:40 pm

A Jeter Home Run! Yankees can't lose now.

17 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Sep 18, 2014 7:51 pm

I missed the Captain's homer! Like fleeting glimpse of Mt. Fuji, it appears only infrequently but the memory of it's perfect beauty remains...
Or I can just go to mlb.com for the replay..

18 RIYank   ~  Sep 18, 2014 7:53 pm

[17] I didn't know mlb.com had replays of Mt. Fuji.

19 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Sep 18, 2014 7:57 pm

[18] Fuji would be great, it is the 'mysterious lady' after all..as long as they don't show that dunbbass who hung a Japanese Imperial flag in Kansas City to show support for Aoki..yikes...

20 Alex Belth   ~  Sep 18, 2014 8:07 pm

So great to see Jeets yank that one into the seats.

21 coleman42   ~  Sep 18, 2014 8:08 pm

Team actually getting hits

22 RIYank   ~  Sep 18, 2014 8:11 pm

It looks like Scotland is voting against their independence.

23 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 18, 2014 8:15 pm

What up, gang?
Go Yankees!

24 rbj   ~  Sep 18, 2014 8:16 pm

[22] phew. My Scottish heritage wants independence, but it really doesn't make sense geopolitically or economically.

25 RIYank   ~  Sep 18, 2014 8:18 pm

Joey Bats with a man on, that's what I was hoping we'd avoid.

Agita.

26 coleman42   ~  Sep 18, 2014 8:19 pm

Looked like he was walking back to the dugout after first strike!

27 RIYank   ~  Sep 18, 2014 8:20 pm

Yep.

Yep. Exactly.

28 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 18, 2014 8:20 pm

I hate that fuckstick.

29 RIYank   ~  Sep 18, 2014 8:20 pm

ARGH.

Nothing's easy.

30 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Sep 18, 2014 8:21 pm

[24] Not so sure about that..I havn't seen many convincing arguments for staying part of the UK but I suppose it's not a home-run case either way..

31 coleman42   ~  Sep 18, 2014 8:21 pm

Jose loves the high pitch...

32 rbj   ~  Sep 18, 2014 8:22 pm

Dammit.

33 rbj   ~  Sep 18, 2014 8:26 pm

[30] Scots are banking on North Sea oil, but production there is starting to slip.

34 RIYank   ~  Sep 18, 2014 8:36 pm

[33] But there's plenty of Laphroaig.

35 rbj   ~  Sep 18, 2014 8:38 pm

[34] Number one customer.

36 RIYank   ~  Sep 18, 2014 8:41 pm

Well, there's a start.

PR for Young? Interesting. Huh.

Brett better not bunt.

37 rbj   ~  Sep 18, 2014 8:43 pm

I smell a play.

38 rbj   ~  Sep 18, 2014 8:43 pm

And will it be the Scottish play?

39 RIYank   ~  Sep 18, 2014 8:43 pm

Oh... now maybe bunt. Well, rather have the walk I guess.

40 RIYank   ~  Sep 18, 2014 8:44 pm

[38] Oooooooh.

41 RIYank   ~  Sep 18, 2014 8:45 pm

Oh, come on, Brett. Fair is foul and foul is fair. (See [38])

42 RIYank   ~  Sep 18, 2014 8:45 pm

Wow, that was a surprise bunt! Fairly successful too.

43 coleman42   ~  Sep 18, 2014 8:46 pm

Risky bunt worked

44 RIYank   ~  Sep 18, 2014 8:47 pm

Yay!!!!!!

45 coleman42   ~  Sep 18, 2014 8:48 pm

Mets 1986...

46 rbj   ~  Sep 18, 2014 8:48 pm

And it didn't end in tragedy!

47 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 18, 2014 8:48 pm

Mmmmmmm.... Laphroaig...
Nice win.

48 RIYank   ~  Sep 18, 2014 8:48 pm

The blow that was the be-all and end-all!

(I love Macbeth, I could do this all night.)

49 RIYank   ~  Sep 18, 2014 8:49 pm

[46] Nope. Headley stuck the dagger in them though.

50 Ara Just Fair   ~  Sep 18, 2014 8:49 pm

Jeter used to be the first cat bounding over that dugot rail. Tonight was a bit on the slow side. ; )

51 rbj   ~  Sep 18, 2014 8:50 pm

Night all.

52 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Sep 18, 2014 8:51 pm

[48] "That which hath made RIYank drunk hath made him bold,
What hath quenched him hath given him fire..."

53 RIYank   ~  Sep 18, 2014 8:54 pm

[52] Laphoiag and Macbeth in the same line!

None of woman born shall hit D-Rob. Glad he gets the W since Greene couldn't.

54 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Sep 18, 2014 9:00 pm

[53] Laphroiag! Whisky...lechery, sir, it provokes and unprovokes...

55 Boatzilla   ~  Sep 19, 2014 3:42 am

Shit. I am still crying over that perfect Jeter Gatorade spot. I mean sobbing out loud. I don't think I can watch any more games.

Thanks for the memories Alex and Crew.
