Yes, yes it does call for sleet. On the way back to work from lunch this afternoon, there were some flakes wafting in the air. Should be a low scoring affair.
Top of the lineup will have to carry the load tonight, with both Didi and Gregorio playing.
38 degrees and flurries. Radar doesn't look good.
Ouchie!
Could easily be a broken rib there.
Wow.
16 full count PA's for Alex thus far.
That is a really impressive number.
Got him out with off speed pitches there. The first and last each got a swing and a miss.
Damn.
That was a big opportunity.
That was horse shit, McCann...just relax.
Man, what a lucky break!
Cash this in.
OK, I'm greedy, I want more.
Jesus.
Beltran's swing is so fucking long.
God.
Beltran.
Just helpless up there.
That was inside.
Beltran is done.
Snow!
Omg.
That looks dangerous.
How in the hell is the hitter expected to see the baseball?
Gotta hand it to Tiger fans for showing up and staying through the snow!
Nice take.
2-2...
YAAAYYYYY!!!!
That was beautiful!
Bravo!!
Nice hitting!
This is already a very strange game
WOWWW!!
Get the fuck out of here!!!
Wowww!!!!
There ya go! Petit comes up big
Petit!
Just hope we don't get the game called due to weather.
Price wants out.
[26] Jesus, what is wrong with you!
Take it back!
It's warm in here. No one will die. Play 5.
Me!
He's safe!!!
And more nice hitting!
Just such nice hitting!
Come on, one more single...
All right.
Six'll do, I guess.
That was fun.
Tiger's announcers: I didn't see this coming.
[34] Wasn't it, though?
WTF??
This will teach me not to be late for a game start.
Good lord.
Bullpen?
C'mon, Adam.
The yanks took the skin boat to tuna town in the first.
Warren has to settle down and get some people out now!
Hideous.
Omg.
Huh.
Well, that's something you don't see every day.
Thank god.
Motherfucker!
Is it too early for that?
So suddenly this is a game again.
Oh God.
This is killing me.
I can't stand it.
Ah.
Not a walk.
What the fuck was that underhanded shovel crap?
WTF?
Doody Godawfulous strikes again!
It's never easy I suppose. You could see this happening before Warren through the first pitch.
Hey, Gregorious really hasn't been great in the field so far, has he?
[1] I guess I was wrong about the low scoring part.
As I've said before, Didi not smart player. My 10-yr old grandson could call him out on that one.
Can't predict baseball.
(51) No, but at least he makes it up with his bat.
I like this Didi, I want him to succeed, but he's just not ready.
He's just not ready.
Omg.
I can't believe this.
I can't take this.
I just can't take it.
Poor Warren. He's horseshit tonight.
And it costs them. Jeez.
Is it still too SSS to DFA Didi & Carlos?
Beltran especially..HOFer but what an awful contract. That money could have been for Cano! (Dead horse)
[54] Laughing
Shut up!!
Wonder what the record is for most pitches thrown by two starters in the first inning?
Finally
"Snow way."
Yay!
That was one of the longest innings I remember.
Well if someone said we would be up by 2 with Price having thrown over 40 pitches before the 2nd inning, I'd take it.
Dammit, caught him way out in front.
p.s. I'd be really surprised if the Yanks win this game.
Finally, Carlos
Omg.
I don't think I have ever seen anyone as slow as McCann.
Talk about running through mud with a piano on your back.
Did you guys see that?
Hurray for Carlos!
DFA him tomorrow.
I think it is doubtful that Price will pitch a complete game at this rate.
[70] Piano movers make good money.
This might just be the start of Price's decline...
Chase!!
I really like his swing.
I hope he can keep this up.
When is the last time you've seen back-to-back triples?
Another!
I dunno, I was going to say it's fun again, but the truth is it isn't.
70) Piazza was slow as fuck.
[73] [74] :)
Uh. Why are they IBBing Petit?
Back to back 3 batters!
Probably the only IBB for Petit's career.
Saw two triples Friday night, one Saturday and now two tonight. Lots of 'em lately.
(70) Looks like Giambi when he runs. I'm not sure McCann was a great signing either..
Love this 'O' tonight though. Why is Price still in, no mop-up guy in the pen?
Oh yeah, that's why. To get to the pitcher.
Good for you, Adam. Nice out, dude.
I don't think Warren will get a CG either.
Nicely done.
Nice bounce back, Adam.
In the pregame they were talking about the Yanks history of winning against Price and I was thinking this is a different team but the same result?
ouch that is going to leave a mark on his ERA. 3rd inning and back for another beating.
Ho hum, another base runner.
I'm loving these line drives.
Sweet hit Alex
Every Yank has reached base tonight. Let's go for 2 guys!
Evening all!
Nice to tune in and see the bats a-swinging!
Can't believe they left Price in to throw 86 pitches in 3 innings.
The Price is Wrong.
Looking for a positive Warren Report.
Yeah, my mind is wandering.
I was thinking that 96+ Banter comments in 2+ innings could be a record.
[96] Heh. More than Price's pitches!
No Didi.
I'm sorry.
A shortstop who can't hit and can't field just has to go.
He is not a major league baseball player.
I'm done with Didi
No-D Didi.
[95] You're cracking me up.
[99] Great range though.
Can we rename Dido as E6?
[99][100][101] has to be nerves, right? I mean, his whole reputation was his 'D'?
You know, when we got Didi, I was optimistic that he might be Brendan Ryan in St Louis who played great defense and hit respectably.
I was prepared for Brendan Ryan in Seattle who didn't hit but played defense.
We got Brendan Ryan in New York who does nothing well. Now we have TWO of them.
Didi making me long for the halcyon days of yore ... for the likes of Alvaro Espinoza and Wayne Tolleson.
Bad Didi, bad!
Note to Tigers: don't hit to Didi.
[105] Some head thing anyway.
Maybe it's something about replacing Jeter? That could mess with your brain.
[103] Ha!
Justice Warren bangs down the gavel!
No need for infielders.
[109] You never want to replace the legend, you want to replace the poor sap who replaced the legend.
At this rate, Didi is going to make the next Yankees SS look very, Very good ...
[105] I mean, sure, one hopes.
(But God, flipping underhand in a critical DP situation from that distance?)
[112] The opening Cito Culver was waiting for!
This series is sure doing wonders for the Yankee bats.
A hit!
Sure would like to see Carlos get hot ...
Iglesias pulls a Didi!
Where is Stanley these days?
Ha! Not a night for shortstops.
NO BUNTS. NO PLAYS.
Thanks, Iggy!
[114] Jorge Mateo is the one, mark my words.
Hmm. 8-4 and Yanks bunt. Tigers bring infield in.
Sac bunt to bring automatic out Doody Godawfulous up?
[124] He heard you. Us.
(124). That was a rhetorical question.
Good for Didi. He needed that.
Good job, Didi!
Nice hit.
I hope this relaxes him.
Girardi's genius strikes again.
[122] Forget that
A Gregorious hit!
Wow, you know you suck when even Didi is hitting doubles
Awww, Didi, I take it all back*
I predicted that Gregorius and Petit would combine for five rbi tonight.
[114] 'Cito Culver' sounds like a member of the Warren Commission. (ThatS for you, RIYank.)
[135] Maybe they can get together and figure out what ever happened to that pitcher we used to have, Ian something.
I still say "Ian Krol" sounds like a supervillain
Good D, Didi!
Nice play, Didi! Even nicer smile.
Wow, I think Alex got double lucky in that at bat.
Yeesh.
Gregorius has obviously turned it around, and he'll be fine from now on.
Terrific range.
Would be fun to see Miggy hit.400 for the season. Never seen it, enjoyed his triple crown.
[141] That's the spirit!
Tigers radio feed has better lead-in music tonight, just now was 'Life During Wartime' by Talking Heads.
[135]

[145] I miss the funny, appealing Woody Allen..
[146] We're none of us getting any younger.
Well done, Earl Warren!
[148] Impeach Earl Warren!
Sorry, just had a flashback to my childhood.
[147] Tell me about it..asked Mrs. Jazz this morning 'Babe, you seen my walkman anywhere? Can't find it..' She was like. 'Umm..you mean your phone?'
Bombers are back!
Tex!
That's a Teix message!
Tesh!!!
And the Rangers win in OT!
1 pm game tomorrow, folks.
Gotta get up early, night all
Gonna go to bed early because I can.
Ah, back to the Classic Rock intros on Tigers radio..Grand Funk Railroad! (Or maybe Bachman-Turner-Overdrive?) Gotta love that 70s rock!
I'm going to switch to Kershaw vs Bumgarner now.
I can't believe that I'm actually going to watch the Mets now.
(159). Sorry, but nothing beats 60's rock.
Can't believe I missed the fireworks!
Think I'm gonna have to watch the top of certain frames on my MLB.tv later...
[161] Listening to Jerry Jacks now. Takes me right back to building tree forts in the woods of North Jersey...'73ish.
[150] Ya see what getting up early gets me, Jazz? I had a morning meeting to discuss a corporate slogan for a Japanese oil distribution company and I missed the score truck. Dang it!
