Ortiz has only 44 career home runs against the Yankees? I would have thought it was 44 thousand..

Eovaldi has cheese. But look the bottom of our lineup...

Crap. Extree Innings doesn't have the PIX broadcast. I get the Red Sox broadcast or the MLBN flavor, with Bob Costas & John Smoltz.

Nerts.

[1] No kidding.

[4] I think I need to reassess my negative prediction for this year's BoSox, their lineup is sick..

How does Ortiz only have 466 home runs?

[6] Late start? He's a no doubt HOFer don't you think?

Eovaldi didn't get hit this hard in Spring training appearances. Let's hope he does better this year than last, in terms of hits allowed.

He reminds me a little of Pavano.

You may remember I pointed that out several months ago whe he was traded. Not only facial expression, but his delivery too!

[9] That's cold...

Scooter and Bill White! Such great memories.

[7] I would think so, yes.

This sucks. I was all set up to watch the game via MLB.tv but we had a big storm and the power has been out. Supposed to be back on by 8:15, we'll see...

I don't think Fat Liar is a hall of famer. He's only a Big Babi that whines about everything. Fuck that shithook!

[13] Shithook? That's a new one on me.

I thought Didi was our shortstop? What's all this shuffling about?

[15] Didi doesn't hit lefties well

Ah, ok.

Does that mean he's just a platoon player?

[17] TBD

I don't like that.

Either he needs to learn to hit lefties or they need to find another shortstop.

Nice little hit, Brett.

A hit!

That was so not a strike.

That's two undeserved backwards K's on Alex.

Piss off, blue!

Why was the first one a ball and the next a strike? Even MLBN calls them the same.

Big Popup

Eo pitching efficiently, 71 pitches in 5 innings. Keeping most pitches low in the zone, Sox seem confused with his off speed pitches. Too bad the other guy is doing better.

Omg.

How many fucking outs can you make on the base paths??

Jesus fucking Christ!

Oy, Headley.

Hey Yankees. Take your shitty ass base running and shove it. WTF!

Who was last Yanks starter who consistently threw 98-99mph fastballs? Kevin Brown? Randy?

Jeezus Frakking Chrystal!

Of course.

This team is one big clown circus.

This is sad, send Petit away!

Keystone Kops had nothing on this team. Gonna be a long season.

[30] I don't think Johnson ever threw that hard for us, nor did Brown.
As I recall, Johnson topped out around 95 by the time he was here. But I could be misremembering.

Gosh they look like scrubs.

Maybe in his first year or two Joba threw that hard?

[35] not Clemens either. Who then?

Finally. Yanks only down 30-0

[38] Joba seemed to top out at 95-97? Don't remember if he was ever a starter.

Oh, sorry, you were asking about starters. Yeah, Joba certainly wasn't a starter his first couple of years.

Yeah, I can't think of anyone.

Ok, bring on the Score Truck!

Back to back hits. That's a rally for these Yankees.

Damn, that Brett is fast.

I thought that was a 5-4-3 for sure.

Would love to see an A-bomb here.

Yay!!!

Base hit!

Nice work, Alex!

Nice work.

Will take it.

We got a run!

Come on, Tesh!

That was fucking inside.

All right, come on, Toucan McCann!

Wade curses...

Fuck.

2-2...

All right, not optimal, but I'll take it.

Nice hitting.

Kept his hands in very nicely there.

I mean, I'll take the two, but...

Back to within one.

(Kay sure is aging, isn't he?)

[59] Fatherhood! :)

Nice play, Drew.

Nice pick by Drew

[60] No kidding.

Also, is it me or is he exponentially less annoying than he used to be? These past few years he really seems to have settled down somehow.

[64] I noticed that too. He, Cone and Singleton a good listen.

They're still doing GBA in the 7th this year..?

[65] And I'm sure they will until Gabriel blows his mighty horn.

[65] Costas & Smoltz are a snooze fest. Kay at least will ask some interesting questions.

[65] I prefer just Cone and Singleton.

[67] Nothing matches the putridity of the Sunday night blowhard crew..that's a game for the radio for sure.

Oh we like Taxawa...

Tazawa autocorrect

...and...it's the 8th inning

Beautiful bunt.

Let's go, Alex...

Omg.

Jesus.

How many outs can this team make on the base paths?

Jesus.

Watch Alex bomb one

[69] Problem being, I'm in Toledo, just a bit outside of the NY radio area.

Spent a couple of summers working the overnight shift (11-7) at my dad's plastic bottle plant that was in the backyard. Only one there. Even my dog was in the house. Best nights were west coast games though the Mariners always seemed to give them fits. 1985 & 86 IIRC.

Jesus, catchers are fucking crazy.

I hope he's ok.

Ortiz hasn't looked great but I'm 'fraid right here.

Catcher signals? Do they think wheel play with Big Poopi?

Sit down!

The pitching will be good this year, but Oh that O...
#fanalysis

Oooooh!!!

HOME RUN!!!

Good night then, oh wait we are in it!

Atta baby!

That's Headley!

C'mon Carlos, back-to-back.

I was always confident!! Chase chases one, tie game!

That had such a nice sound to it, too.

Free baseball!

Aww Jeez.

What's with the walks, Miller??? : /

Nice!

That's more like it.

Now, let's win this bitch!

My power is still out, dammit...

Drew, Didi, and rbj due up...

[94] Hear, hear.

Omg, that was so high.

C'mon Scrubs!

Jeez, Drew ain't much good fer nuthin' with the bat is he?

[100] If Refsnyder can show improvement in fielding I think there's a DFA in the near future.

[101] I think they would send Petit down if Refs comes up.

Don't mind the walk to Poopi.

Find the strike zone please.

Yes!

Clutch DP, Team.

Nice work.

Let's fucking win this fucker now!

Very smooth by Didi; nice job by Tex, too.

That could be Yanks first DP this year?

101) Agreed.

Atta boy, Alex!!

Woot, a double. Yeah, pinch runner.

For the love of God, Teix, the winning run is on second base, just don't fucking hit into the shift...

Gotta beat Varvaro!

He was a Brave. We faced him at YS a few seasons ago. Of course, when I went to the Yanks game in da Bronx, the Braves were in town...

[112] or you, McCann.

Nice job by Alex pounding that mistake.

Must win. C'mon, Mac!

Man, I wish my power never went out. Perfect night for me to watch the game...

Let's go, McCann, how about a little Bobby Abreu action, line drive to left?

I loved Abreu!

Pretty low strike, Blue.

Horseshit call there.

Man. I haven't seen anthihing since the first few innings. Psyched it's still on and tied up. Fuck you, blue. 2 out homer in the ninth. Holy shit!

Bollocks.

Fuck.

Aw fuck!

Is there anything more depressing than watching a team that just can't hit?

Grumble, grumble, grumble.

[126] Lots of negativity for so early in the season.

And this is just the first of 19 meetings this year.

Nice!

Can we please hit a homer and I can go to bed? Gotta take the dogs to the park in the morning.

Gonna take a miracle...

127) Shape of things to come.

Oh for crying out loud, what's next, midges?

nice with the cell phones

MLBN, you use lighters for Freebird

Those fucking midges.

This sounds fun

Yeah, it's not like there's no light. Night all.

Rock that organ!

139) Exactly. Talk about coming through in the clutch. You hang around all day into the night and then your night gets longer in extra innings and then…a snafu, lights go out, and you are pressed into service. No more gimmicks or contests are planned for the Jumbo Tron and it's left to the organist to vamp and keep things moving along. How lovely.

That is one low strike zone.

Yes, I noticed the organ too. It was lovely.

Time for a quick double by rbj

What did the organist play? He's a dear friend of mine and I'm sure it was beyond awesome. He's the Maestro!!!

My power is back on! Gonn try to catch the rest of the game!

Done at work! Game stil going??!

Yo thelarmis, saw Kenny Garrett last night. His young drummer was smokin!

Weak.

Awesome, Jazz! I don't doubt it...

Gotta figure these Sox are going to score now.

Shut em down.

John Sterling just called Gardner "Brett Butler"

Damn fine work. Atta boy, kid!

Please score a run now.

great job, kid!

So whatta I know?

152) At least he didn't call him Rhett Butler.

[152] The cf or the actress? : )

Can we just end this damn game? I have a busy day tomorrow

Ok, please, get him in...

speed on the basepaths!

i switch from mlb network to yes. much better : )

do it, chase!

[fuck you, word press]

Carlos, perhaps?

Best swing Drew's had all year. Too bad he fouled it off.

my little bobble!

[165] Two years. He didn't have one last year

Nertz.

Jesus.

The fifteenth.

Balls!

I won't keep harping on losing Cano, fine. But Stephen Drew is awful, the Yankees surely realize this??

We're four games in, I've missed a good portion of the season due to vacation and I'm already completely fed up with Stephen Drew.

If the Yankees must lose, I hope they at least wait until Rogers gets in. It would be for the best for a number of reasons

ooh, where was that blue?!

tiny bit outside...i guess.

really, didi?

coulda, shoulda had it...

good work, kid!

I know, I thought so too, right?

oh hey, what the heck, this game is still going!

white flag time...

Only 17 more Yanks-Sox games to go everyone!

[178] Excruciatingly so, yes.

come on you FUCKING FUCK!!!

This ump is fucking *blind*!!!

these pitches on the lower outside corner look really good...

The Sox radio guy sounds exhausted..is Sterling ok??

[180] 18

I always hate when people describe these games as "epic."

This is bad, boring baseball

i've got kay. he seems pretty into it.

I'll turn on Kay when I get home, likely still no runs by the..could they theoretically play all night?

yeah kay seems to be going just fine. he may not be human.

nice pitch.

bottom of the 15th!

gritner's gonna go BOOM!!

Chasen Shreve..game ball to that guy. Now let's have a walk off tater!

Let's GO!

I'm done if we don't score. Early wakeup call

Nice fucking ab.

oh jesus that was ugly didi.

i'm not diggin' the didi era so far...

oh, but his batting average is almost triple Drew's though.

RUN

steal all of the bases, brett. all of them.

ok i know i just got here but i've got to get up early too. crazy early season game.
