5 rbj   ~  Sep 23, 2014 7:06 pm

6 thelarmis   ~  Sep 23, 2014 7:06 pm

i just had tortellini for dinner...

7 Shaun P.   ~  Sep 23, 2014 7:09 pm

[6] Ummm, tortellini. I'm hungry.

Sheesh, where has the offense gone to tonight? Did someone forget to gas up the Score Truck?

8 thelarmis   ~  Sep 23, 2014 7:12 pm

[7] i had the score truck at the gas station, but the pumps didn't work 'coz the vandals took the handles. ; )

9 thelarmis   ~  Sep 23, 2014 7:13 pm

cap gave it a little bit of a ride.

man, i'm gonna miss him...

btw, we're being NO HIT for a third of the game. NO HITS!!!

10 coleman42   ~  Sep 23, 2014 7:18 pm

He's giving up loads of hits tonight

11 coleman42   ~  Sep 23, 2014 7:19 pm

Loads n loads

12 rbj   ~  Sep 23, 2014 7:19 pm

Oy

13 thelarmis   ~  Sep 23, 2014 7:20 pm

fuck, Fuck, FUCK!

14 rbj   ~  Sep 23, 2014 7:30 pm

Now cash it in.

15 thelarmis   ~  Sep 23, 2014 7:30 pm

a HIT!!!

of extra base variety, no less.

let's score both. ah, fuck it, let's get the Earl Weaver Special.

16 Shaun P.   ~  Sep 23, 2014 7:31 pm

[8] Perhaps Tex gave the handles back? Guess that is up to C Young.

17 Shaun P.   ~  Sep 23, 2014 7:34 pm

OK, a run is good!

I really like Doug Glanville's writing, but boy howdy is he getting on my nerves as a broadcaster. That he is paired with Rick Sutcliffe just makes it worse. Ugh.

18 Shaun P.   ~  Sep 23, 2014 7:36 pm

But only 1 run is not good. :(

19 thelarmis   ~  Sep 23, 2014 7:39 pm

fucking shit.

20 thelarmis   ~  Sep 23, 2014 7:40 pm

[17] are you watching the 4-letter network? i've got the my9 broadcast, via mlb.tv.

21 Shaun P.   ~  Sep 23, 2014 7:40 pm

Not AB's fault, but the "Going, Going . . ." title on this post is really describing McCarthy's start a bit too well. I'm hoping the Yanks have some kind of comeback in them . . .

22 thelarmis   ~  Sep 23, 2014 7:41 pm

royales winning 5-0.

not that it matters...

23 Shaun P.   ~  Sep 23, 2014 7:42 pm

[20] Yes, I did not even try MLB.tv because I figured I would be told that I couldn't watch. I ought to try it. The four letter network sucks, especially as the WatchESPN app on my phone now includes a big white X in the middle of the screen. Ugh ugh ugh.

And Toronto is beating Seattle again! More ugh.

24 thelarmis   ~  Sep 23, 2014 7:47 pm

ichi!

steal and score.

25 thelarmis   ~  Sep 23, 2014 7:48 pm

blow jays just put up a 7-spot against the M's.

well, we're gonna win this game so it's all good!

26 jjmerlock   ~  Sep 23, 2014 7:49 pm

This seems like an appropriately desultory petering out of the whole thing. Some guys tried, but man, do I want to forget this year's version of the Yanks ever existed. It's been unpleasant.

27 Shaun P.   ~  Sep 23, 2014 7:51 pm

[26] I hear you, but not nearly as bad as last year, no? Or have you managed to forget that version of the Yanks ever existed, too? :)

Last year it seemed like there were no bright spots, nothing on the horizon, a bleak future indeed. I don't feel that way about 2015.

28 thelarmis   ~  Sep 23, 2014 7:52 pm

C'MON CAPTAIN!!!

29 jjmerlock   ~  Sep 23, 2014 7:53 pm

[27] Agree with everything you've said there. Perhaps, I would say last year was unpleasant, while this year was consistently frustrating.

30 thelarmis   ~  Sep 23, 2014 7:53 pm

last year, we got to watch Andy and Mo pitch. I'll take it!

31 jjmerlock   ~  Sep 23, 2014 7:53 pm

Good Lord, that's a ridiculous call, lol. Nice job, you bum. People paid to see Jeter, not your incompetence.

32 thelarmis   ~  Sep 23, 2014 7:54 pm

FUCKING BOLLOCKS!!!

screw you, ump. fucking cocksucking piece of shit. asshole, scumsucking douchelord.

33 jjmerlock   ~  Sep 23, 2014 7:57 pm

[32] I never know which language is frowned upon here. Restrained myself from calling him a fucking hump, which is one of my go to invectives.

34 rbj   ~  Sep 23, 2014 7:58 pm

[32] don't hold back.

35 thelarmis   ~  Sep 23, 2014 8:04 pm

[33] colorful language is thankfully accepted - and expected! - here! language such as Rue-Let and certain presidents' initials are frowned upon (for no good reason), by word press.

[34] i'll try not to. ; )

36 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Sep 23, 2014 8:05 pm

Perhaps sacrilege but I'm tired of the Jeter hoopla, YES is almost unwatchable now.

Ready for next year, healthy Tanaka & Pineda all season would be such a great (and young!) 1-2 punch.

37 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Sep 23, 2014 8:06 pm

[35] thelarmis! What's happening man? I've got news for you on the music front, will be in touch offline later this week.

38 Shaun P.   ~  Sep 23, 2014 8:07 pm

Nothing will load on my phone, so, let me guess: [32] something bad happened.

[29] Yes, I would agree with that. Particularly the last few weeks. A somewhat better offense and this would have been a very different end to the season.

39 rbj   ~  Sep 23, 2014 8:08 pm

Have you seen the Jeter top ten moments done in Lego? Hardball talk and baseball musings have it. The Flip is rated too low.

40 Chyll Will   ~  Sep 23, 2014 8:08 pm

[6] Thanks, bro >;)

[33] This comprehensive coagulation of acapella prowess should give you an idea of what flies as far as venting around here >;)

41 Shaun P.   ~  Sep 23, 2014 8:08 pm

[36] Hey MrOKJazz! Did you see the top 10 Jeter moments in minifigures video? Some off-brand non-LEGO thing. It was kind of nice, but I think has officially reached "way too much" status.

Except the Gatorade commerical. I LOVE the Gatorade commercial.

42 rbj   ~  Sep 23, 2014 8:09 pm

Er, that's for [36], but feel free for anyone to chime in

43 Chyll Will   ~  Sep 23, 2014 8:10 pm

[40] ...sometimes.

44 Shaun P.   ~  Sep 23, 2014 8:11 pm

[39] Great minds . . . :) I felt like some of the other players were not accurate for some of them - and the Posada minifigure on the flip play did NOT look like Posada at all. No scruffy 5 o'clock shadow and a smile on his face.

45 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Sep 23, 2014 8:11 pm

[41][42] I'm going to look for that now, LEGO is always cool! But I hated the Gatorade commercial.. :(

46 edoubletrouble   ~  Sep 23, 2014 8:16 pm

Hey hey Let's go YanKEES!

47 Chyll Will   ~  Sep 23, 2014 8:18 pm

[42] Agreed. But that wouldn't be so much of an issue if the Yanks were contenders this season; they'd have other things to raise a roof or two about. I almost think they'll bounce back after all the hoopla is over.

48 rbj   ~  Sep 23, 2014 8:21 pm

I'm neutral on the Gatorade ad. I'm a bit fatigued by it, but it's the end of an era and another baseball season is coming to a close.

At least the Yankees won't have a losing record.

49 thelarmis   ~  Sep 23, 2014 8:23 pm

[36] i'm all about jeter! : )

[37] looking forward to hearing from you. i'll check my email...

[38] captain caught looking on a pitch clearly outside.

50 thelarmis   ~  Sep 23, 2014 8:25 pm

can we pinch hit with lou gehrig to tie the game?!

51 rbj   ~  Sep 23, 2014 8:27 pm

Not dead yet.

52 rbj   ~  Sep 23, 2014 8:45 pm

Only mostly dead.

53 coleman42   ~  Sep 23, 2014 8:47 pm

Captain Hustle!

54 rbj   ~  Sep 23, 2014 8:47 pm

A hit for the Cap'n!

55 thelarmis   ~  Sep 23, 2014 8:47 pm

that's a HIT!!!

56 Alex Belth   ~  Sep 23, 2014 8:47 pm

Johnny Hustle.

57 thelarmis   ~  Sep 23, 2014 8:51 pm

BOOM!!!

58 rbj   ~  Sep 23, 2014 8:53 pm

Dang, missed it.

59 coleman42   ~  Sep 23, 2014 9:03 pm

Dellin allowing more hits in his most recent appearances.

60 rbj   ~  Sep 23, 2014 9:09 pm

Getting late, have big four next weekends up. Night all.

61 jjmerlock   ~  Sep 23, 2014 9:16 pm

I know we're all but mathematically eliminated, but down one, in a game that technically "matters," and we don't have anyone to pinch hit for the two bums we just sent up???

Where have you gone, Chili Davis?

62 jjmerlock   ~  Sep 23, 2014 9:19 pm

[40] it may just be the monotony of how I pepper most of my sentences with profanity. On that note, though, fucking Kelly Johnson.

63 thelarmis   ~  Sep 23, 2014 9:22 pm

it's walkoff time, people!

64 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Sep 23, 2014 9:30 pm

[63] Captain walkoff? Fingers crossed...

65 thelarmis   ~  Sep 23, 2014 9:30 pm

thanks, gritner!

win the game, captain. do it, buddy!

66 jjmerlock   ~  Sep 23, 2014 9:32 pm

Well, that was anticlimactic.

67 edoubletrouble   ~  Sep 23, 2014 9:32 pm

well, that was fun

68 thelarmis   ~  Sep 23, 2014 9:32 pm

oh man. : (
