"A New York Treasure" --Village Voice

To Sweep, Perchance to Dream

IMG_2963

The Yankees have the chance to leave Boston with a red smear on the bottom of their spikes. They’ve won the series either way, but putting an exclamation point after the third game would be a welcome conclusion.

It’s a Sunday night special, under the lights. Adam Warren and Joe Kelly have the honor of trying to keep the game under five hours. Godspeed to them. It’s a fortunate schedule as it’s majestic outside right now.

I’ll keep my eyes peeled for the lineups, but in the meantime, enjoy a heckuva day.

1 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 3, 2015 7:09 pm

God, it feels like every game is on ESPN. I'm sick of them and their stupid strike zone box.

2 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 3, 2015 7:11 pm

Ellsbury's a good hitter.

3 RIYank   ~  May 3, 2015 7:11 pm

A perfectly acceptable beginning to the game.

4 RIYank   ~  May 3, 2015 7:12 pm

Brett likes to watch.

5 thelarmis   ~  May 3, 2015 7:13 pm

Nice hit, rbj.

[1] yup.

Gonna watch the top of the first, but then we're headed out for dinner...

6 thelarmis   ~  May 3, 2015 7:14 pm

The boos are kinda comic at this point.

7 thelarmis   ~  May 3, 2015 7:16 pm

Another shit sock with poor facial hair.

Didn't realize Kelly throws so hard...

8 rbj   ~  May 3, 2015 7:16 pm

Perfect time for 661. . .
Guess not

9 RIYank   ~  May 3, 2015 7:17 pm

[7] I think he's their best pitcher.

10 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 3, 2015 7:18 pm

Yay, Teix!

11 thelarmis   ~  May 3, 2015 7:18 pm

Tex goes BOOM!!

12 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 3, 2015 7:18 pm

Suck on that, Boston!

13 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 3, 2015 7:18 pm

(Contain yourselves, ESPN.)

14 RIYank   ~  May 3, 2015 7:18 pm

Ho ho ho!

Teixeira can still hit.
I have to reassure myself sometimes.

15 rbj   ~  May 3, 2015 7:18 pm

Mark, however!

16 thelarmis   ~  May 3, 2015 7:19 pm

Of course, these Yankee 'staches are *really* bad too...

17 thelarmis   ~  May 3, 2015 7:19 pm

espn still talking about how great joe Kelly is...

18 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 3, 2015 7:22 pm

I wonder how many "fans" booing Alex have an Aaron Hernandez jersey still hanging in a closet at home.

19 RIYank   ~  May 3, 2015 7:24 pm

No, they despise Aaron Hernandez.

You have to turn off the ESPN sound, no matter how much you feel like you're missing.

20 RIYank   ~  May 3, 2015 7:24 pm

I love the title Jon gave this blog entry, by the way. Very evocative.

21 coleman42   ~  May 3, 2015 7:27 pm

[20] I, too, was quite taken by the title.

22 coleman42   ~  May 3, 2015 7:28 pm

By God, look! 3 up, 3 down! And the announcer's tone goes to low bass.

23 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 3, 2015 7:28 pm

[4] You can't sneak that Being There reference by me, RIYank :)

24 thelarmis   ~  May 3, 2015 7:31 pm

There's a metal band that has a song title "To Sleep, Perchance To Scream" \m/

25 RIYank   ~  May 3, 2015 7:37 pm

Hanley had a scorching April, but I think he's going to be very frustrating to RSN.

26 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 3, 2015 7:38 pm

I liked the Mike Trout commercial but I have never understood the allure of an autograph.

27 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 3, 2015 7:39 pm

(I miss Robbie and his arm.)

28 RIYank   ~  May 3, 2015 7:41 pm

Justice Warren holding court today.

29 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 3, 2015 7:41 pm

Nice inning.

30 rbj   ~  May 3, 2015 7:41 pm

Warren looking good early.

31 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 3, 2015 7:42 pm

[28] Goofus.

32 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  May 3, 2015 7:46 pm

Maybe if the Yanks go up 5-0 or 6-0, ESPN will run an Olympics-style mini-bio on Kelly.

33 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 3, 2015 7:46 pm

[27] Me too :( I usually try to catch King Felix's starts to watch him and Robbie.

God, the Krukie persona is just intolerable..he surely cannot be like that in real life?

34 RIYank   ~  May 3, 2015 7:46 pm

I'm not sure Brett's strategy of getting to 0-2 against this guy is working.

35 RIYank   ~  May 3, 2015 7:48 pm

Just keep watching, Brett.
Brett has been gathering evidence on Kelly by observing his pitches carefully and quietly.

36 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 3, 2015 7:48 pm

[32] Well, he is throwing a no-hitter with 12 straight Ks after all..

37 RIYank   ~  May 3, 2015 7:49 pm

[33] He's a punchable. A guy that even non-violent people like me would really enjoy punching.

John Lackey is another.

38 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 3, 2015 7:49 pm

Way to shorten your swing, Alex.

39 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  May 3, 2015 7:50 pm

You RSN dumbfucks. ARod wanted to come to your team. He was willing to take a pay cut to come to your team. He would be on your team right now, and your favorite goddamn player, if the union hadn't vetoed the deal.

40 RIYank   ~  May 3, 2015 7:50 pm

50-50 Kelly walks Teixeira here.

41 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 3, 2015 7:50 pm

[37] I'm kind of surprised but Schilling is actually not bad, offers some interesting insights.

42 rbj   ~  May 3, 2015 7:51 pm

Nice hit Alex. C'mon, Mark.

43 RIYank   ~  May 3, 2015 7:51 pm

Yeah, he fears the Teixinator.

44 coleman42   ~  May 3, 2015 7:51 pm

Maybe anncrs should comment on his command?

45 RIYank   ~  May 3, 2015 7:51 pm

[41] He is not popular in Rhode Island.

46 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 3, 2015 7:56 pm

Dude's throwing a lot of pitches.

47 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 3, 2015 7:58 pm

McCann's really hanging in there.

48 RIYank   ~  May 3, 2015 7:58 pm

McCann does murder sweep!

49 rbj   ~  May 3, 2015 7:58 pm

Brian!

50 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 3, 2015 7:59 pm

Damn!

What a rope!

What a fantastic fucking at-bat.

Wow.

That was a joy to behold.

51 RIYank   ~  May 3, 2015 7:59 pm

(Man, I was hoping I could use that one.)

52 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 3, 2015 7:59 pm

Hell yeah, McCann!

53 coleman42   ~  May 3, 2015 7:59 pm

What a great pitcher!

54 RIYank   ~  May 3, 2015 7:59 pm

(Even though it doesn't really make any sense.)

55 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  May 3, 2015 7:59 pm

The Candy McCann can... oh, never mind, Suzyn

56 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 3, 2015 8:00 pm

[48] Laughing.

I think you are truly losing your mind, my friend.

57 RIYank   ~  May 3, 2015 8:00 pm

This sweep is really going to knit up the ravell’d sleave of care.

58 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 3, 2015 8:00 pm

[54] Hahahahaah!

It really doesn't.

59 coleman42   ~  May 3, 2015 8:00 pm

He's lost his command.

60 randym77   ~  May 3, 2015 8:01 pm

Kelly at 65 pitches. They're really making him work.

61 RIYank   ~  May 3, 2015 8:01 pm

Oh, man, this is a fun game!
BELTed!

62 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 3, 2015 8:01 pm

How on earth did Beltran turn around a high fastball?

63 mhoward120   ~  May 3, 2015 8:02 pm

That strike zone box is the most annoying thing I've ever seen.

64 rbj   ~  May 3, 2015 8:02 pm

Carlos! Yeah, Kelly is the second coming of the Big Train.

65 RIYank   ~  May 3, 2015 8:02 pm

[32] Well, we're going to find out.

66 RIYank   ~  May 3, 2015 8:03 pm

Methought I heard a voice cry ‘Sweep no more!'
Guess I must have misheard.

67 coleman42   ~  May 3, 2015 8:03 pm

Kruk and Schilling need to stand behind Kelly and tell HIM, not us, where to locate.

68 rbj   ~  May 3, 2015 8:03 pm

Off the plate, Blue!

69 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 3, 2015 8:04 pm

[63] It really is.

70 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 3, 2015 8:05 pm

[66] Perhaps they should be rechristened the New York Thanekees.

71 rbj   ~  May 3, 2015 8:07 pm

[66] Isn't that more for Baltimore?

72 thelarmis   ~  May 3, 2015 8:09 pm

Cy Kelly!

73 RIYank   ~  May 3, 2015 8:09 pm

[70] Whoa-ho!
We are bringing the Burnham wood to Fenway's Dunsinane tonight, huh?

But our host pro tem. was going more melancholy Danish. I'll try to branch out a little.

74 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 3, 2015 8:11 pm

Seriously, it must be like 80-20% Red Sox talk on this game..imagine if they actually had a good team!

75 rbj   ~  May 3, 2015 8:11 pm

Drew!

76 RIYank   ~  May 3, 2015 8:11 pm

A good infield is a joy to root for.

It's been a while, huh?

77 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 3, 2015 8:11 pm

Nice play, Drew.

We're getting some very good defense out of our middle infielders tonight.

78 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 3, 2015 8:12 pm

[76] It really really is.

79 coleman42   ~  May 3, 2015 8:13 pm

[73] To locate, or not to locate, THAT is the question.

80 RIYank   ~  May 3, 2015 8:16 pm

[79] There ya go.
And by a sweep to say we end the heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks that fans are heir to.
'Tis a consummation devoutly to be wish'd.

81 RIYank   ~  May 3, 2015 8:16 pm

Jake en fuego.

82 rbj   ~  May 3, 2015 8:16 pm

Boy, I'm having a good night.

83 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 3, 2015 8:19 pm

That was great.

84 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 3, 2015 8:21 pm

[80] :))

85 RIYank   ~  May 3, 2015 8:21 pm

Yeah, they couldn't try to nail Brett. Frebee for him.

86 RIYank   ~  May 3, 2015 8:21 pm

Oh, dang.
That Mookie kid is good, huh?

87 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 3, 2015 8:21 pm

Damn!

Damn, I really wanted that to fall in.

88 rbj   ~  May 3, 2015 8:22 pm

Nerts!

89 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 3, 2015 8:22 pm

[86] It was a nice play.

90 RIYank   ~  May 3, 2015 8:25 pm

As So Often Happens...

91 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 3, 2015 8:26 pm

[90] Fallacy of The Pre-Determined Outcome™?
Oh, wait that's totally not what you mean..

92 RIYank   ~  May 3, 2015 8:28 pm

No, the thing about how the guy who makes the great play to end the inning always seems to lead off the next inning.

93 RIYank   ~  May 3, 2015 8:29 pm

Nice job, Mr. Justice.

94 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 3, 2015 8:29 pm

Sit the fuck down, asshole.

95 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 3, 2015 8:32 pm

Wow, Buster..great reporting there. Hadn't heard anything about the heavy winter in America..thanks!

96 thelarmis   ~  May 3, 2015 8:33 pm

Mookie was good. This Markus kid is also good, but his name is NOT Mookie. I will only refer to him by Markus, his given name.

97 RIYank   ~  May 3, 2015 8:34 pm

[96] He always calls you by your given name too.

98 rbj   ~  May 3, 2015 8:35 pm

Don't mind walking Big Poopi, sets up a DP.

99 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 3, 2015 8:36 pm

Only the bottom of the 4th..?

100 RIYank   ~  May 3, 2015 8:37 pm

Got 'im!!!

Drew's having a good game in the field.

There ya go.

102 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 3, 2015 8:37 pm

Nicely turned (but watch those lollypop throws in future).

103 RIYank   ~  May 3, 2015 8:38 pm

[98] Words of wisdom.

104 RIYank   ~  May 3, 2015 8:41 pm

Huh.
Maybe right.

105 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 3, 2015 8:41 pm

Fuck.

106 kenboyer made me cry   ~  May 3, 2015 8:42 pm

A little silly tonight gents? Safe, doncha get a dp niblik?

107 rbj   ~  May 3, 2015 8:42 pm

Wait, what? Oh for fuck's sake!

108 RIYank   ~  May 3, 2015 8:43 pm

Uh oh.

109 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 3, 2015 8:44 pm

Good.

Nicely done.

110 RIYank   ~  May 3, 2015 8:44 pm

Whew.

Didi D comes through.

Hey, you can't just turn any old loser loose on a 3-0!

111 rbj   ~  May 3, 2015 8:44 pm

Baseball gods overrule the umps.

112 thelarmis   ~  May 3, 2015 8:46 pm

[97] Lael Moshe

113 randym77   ~  May 3, 2015 8:50 pm

Hah!

114 RIYank   ~  May 3, 2015 8:50 pm

[112] Ah!
Well, he calls you Moses. He can't pronounce 'Moshe', let alone 'Lael'.

115 Mattpat11   ~  May 3, 2015 8:51 pm

Pedroia probably should have let the outfielder catch that instead of running 100 feet into the outfield

116 kenboyer made me cry   ~  May 3, 2015 8:51 pm

Does Kruk fulfill some personnel quota for ESPN? Why is he on national television?

117 rbj   ~  May 3, 2015 8:53 pm

This is going to be another four hour game, isn't it?

118 rbj   ~  May 3, 2015 8:54 pm

And that was a ball too, Blue.
Baseball gods strike again

119 RIYank   ~  May 3, 2015 8:54 pm

Ummm.

Yeah. Base running: it's also part of baseball.

120 RIYank   ~  May 3, 2015 9:01 pm

Not good.
Walking Napoli means he really doesn't have control.

121 thelarmis   ~  May 3, 2015 9:02 pm

me no likey leadoff walks.

122 thelarmis   ~  May 3, 2015 9:02 pm

123 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 3, 2015 9:02 pm

Damn!

Check out our fielding!

124 RIYank   ~  May 3, 2015 9:02 pm

Excellent.
Drew may be the PotG!

125 RIYank   ~  May 3, 2015 9:03 pm

[121] Doo-dah, doo-dah...

126 thelarmis   ~  May 3, 2015 9:03 pm

[114] i will call him Markus Lynn.

his initials are MLB; no wonder he's better than Willie Mays. i thought that was just espn.

now i don't like james taylor ; )

127 thelarmis   ~  May 3, 2015 9:04 pm

[125] HA!

kruk - stfu!

128 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 3, 2015 9:05 pm

I can't take any more of these guys..enjoy the rest of the game Banterites! Time to head to Chinatown for some spicy ramen and Tsingtao beer :)

129 randym77   ~  May 3, 2015 9:05 pm

I didn't know James Taylor was still alive.

130 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  May 3, 2015 9:06 pm

If he's from Boston where did all the noise about Carolina come from? They named a bridge for him down here for chrissakes.

131 RIYank   ~  May 3, 2015 9:06 pm

[126] Heh.
"So was the turnpike from Stockbridge to Boston"

I think he lives in or around Stockbridge now. So, almost in New York!

132 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  May 3, 2015 9:08 pm

Okay, he moved from MA to NC at age 3. So yeah, deep Beantown roots.

133 rbj   ~  May 3, 2015 9:09 pm

[128] Mad Men for me. Night all

134 thelarmis   ~  May 3, 2015 9:09 pm

i don't believe what i just saw!

didi with a base hit.

135 RIYank   ~  May 3, 2015 9:10 pm

[132] Adam Warren is also a Tar Heel. At least he attended UNC.

136 thelarmis   ~  May 3, 2015 9:10 pm

[129] yup, he's been touring with an excellent band. steve gadd has made that group his own for a couple of solo albums.

137 RIYank   ~  May 3, 2015 9:12 pm

Unbelievable.
Happy Jacoby Day!

138 thelarmis   ~  May 3, 2015 9:12 pm

rbj with the 4-4 by the 6th inning!

139 Mattpat11   ~  May 3, 2015 9:12 pm

4 hits already for Jacoby

140 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 3, 2015 9:12 pm

Man, check out Ellsbury!

With that nice easy swing.

141 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  May 3, 2015 9:13 pm

Adam Warren keeps this up, maybe the Tar Heel baseball people will find something to talk about besides BJ Surhoff.

142 thelarmis   ~  May 3, 2015 9:13 pm

[135] Mr. Warren is from Birmingham, Al. You'd think that would bring Bama Yank out of lurk mode!

143 thelarmis   ~  May 3, 2015 9:16 pm

brett's stache is somethin' alright. i remember brendan ryans' crazy porn stache of doom when he was on the redbirds.

144 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 3, 2015 9:16 pm

GONE!

145 RIYank   ~  May 3, 2015 9:16 pm

Happy Gardner Day!

146 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  May 3, 2015 9:16 pm

Grit!

147 thelarmis   ~  May 3, 2015 9:16 pm

GRITNER!!!!

the 'stache sure shuts up Krukie!

fuckin' beautiful.

148 Mattpat11   ~  May 3, 2015 9:16 pm

Wow. That ball just kept carrying

149 mhoward120   ~  May 3, 2015 9:17 pm

Good Lord, Kruk trying to speak with James Taylor could well be the single most inane conversation in world history.

150 randym77   ~  May 3, 2015 9:17 pm

I'm almost feeling sorry for the Red Sox.

151 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  May 3, 2015 9:17 pm

"Unfortunately for James..."

Oh, boo fucking hoo.

152 mhoward120   ~  May 3, 2015 9:17 pm

(150). That's a capital offense.

153 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 3, 2015 9:18 pm

That was pretty fucking sweet.

154 RIYank   ~  May 3, 2015 9:18 pm

[142] Okay, but he's no Hamma.

I guess this game and the sweep is safe. I have to be up early tomorrow, so, you know, gonna go dream, perchance.

155 thelarmis   ~  May 3, 2015 9:19 pm

rbj - .351

gritner - .315

a-rod - 660

156 thelarmis   ~  May 3, 2015 9:20 pm

[154] nor is he Andy Phillips!

157 thelarmis   ~  May 3, 2015 9:20 pm

[150] NEVER.

158 randym77   ~  May 3, 2015 9:22 pm

Andy Phillips is the assistant coach for the Crimson Tide baseball team.

159 thelarmis   ~  May 3, 2015 9:23 pm

661 only made it to the edge of the warning track.

brew crew should bring in Willie Randolph to manage their ballclub. he was there bench coach not too long ago...

160 kenboyer made me cry   ~  May 3, 2015 9:23 pm

JT also lived on Martha's Vineyard when he was married to Carly Simon.

Regardless of that dreck of a segment in the ESPN booth, James Taylor is a national treasure with a body of work that surpasses almost all songwriters.

161 thelarmis   ~  May 3, 2015 9:24 pm

[158] nice!

who's Karim Garcia?

162 thelarmis   ~  May 3, 2015 9:25 pm

[160] i backed up their daughter Sally once. i was touring and played in Telluride, CO where she lived. she was at the gig and came up to sing "Mustang Sally." she was great, very cool, and my age. I had a wonderful view from the drum throne. she had less than zero interest in the drummer...

163 thelarmis   ~  May 3, 2015 9:26 pm

[160] i taught JT's version of "How Sweet It Is To Be Loved By You" last week. i always enjoy playing and teaching that one.

164 thelarmis   ~  May 3, 2015 9:26 pm

nice catch, brett!

jake and grit have *wheels* out there.

165 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  May 3, 2015 9:27 pm

[160] Well of course. I'll be pissy tonight and then play him in the car tomorrow. But right now it's still tonight. :)

166 thelarmis   ~  May 3, 2015 9:27 pm

sit down, Markus Lynn!!!

one pitch foul out to Tex. i loves it! : )

167 Mattpat11   ~  May 3, 2015 9:27 pm

Have there been a lot of foul outs this series?

168 randym77   ~  May 3, 2015 9:30 pm

Andy Phillips said he's brought a lot of Yankees training drills and such to Alabama.

And wow, it seems kind of early to be firing your manager. I know the Brewers have gotten off to a terrible start, but they just picked up Roenicke's 2016 option in March.

169 thelarmis   ~  May 3, 2015 9:31 pm

crap. the two most hated wreck the shutout.

crowd sounds like they won game 7 of the LCS. puh-leeze...

170 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  May 3, 2015 9:31 pm

Oh, walk the fuck to first base Hanley. Why the hell would that be intentional?

172 thelarmis   ~  May 3, 2015 9:33 pm

assholes. shit sox have hit us sooo much over the past few seasons. waaaay more than us to them. take your base. you got hit in the hip/thigh - deal with it.

173 kenboyer made me cry   ~  May 3, 2015 9:34 pm

Something else Milwaukee famous for. Love to see Willie manage the Brewers.

174 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  May 3, 2015 9:34 pm

What is it about Shitsox with stupid hair named Ramirez?

175 thelarmis   ~  May 3, 2015 9:34 pm

i wonder why Willie hasn't gotten another managerial opportunity...

176 thelarmis   ~  May 3, 2015 9:35 pm

i truly LOATHE these fucking scumbags.

shutup Big Babi. your team hits a lot of batters. get over your fat self.

177 thelarmis   ~  May 3, 2015 9:39 pm

you've gotta be shittin' me.

c'mon!!!

178 Mattpat11   ~  May 3, 2015 9:39 pm

Oh Jesus.

179 randym77   ~  May 3, 2015 9:39 pm

Holy crap. Come on, don't let this one get away.

180 thelarmis   ~  May 3, 2015 9:40 pm

Warren's line not lookin' so good now...

181 Mattpat11   ~  May 3, 2015 9:40 pm

Esmil Rogers is a really bad pitcher. He's been a really bad pitcher for many years until this year. I'd really like him to hold off the inevitable for at least the rest of the night.

182 thelarmis   ~  May 3, 2015 9:42 pm

a homer and a walk? jesus.

183 kenboyer made me cry   ~  May 3, 2015 9:43 pm

Daddy took our t- bird away. The fun is gone, let's just win.

184 thelarmis   ~  May 3, 2015 9:43 pm

fuck you, esmil.

185 randym77   ~  May 3, 2015 9:44 pm

Apparently, Rogers' defense isn't very good, either.

186 coleman42   ~  May 3, 2015 9:44 pm

This has turned into an old-fashioned Yanks-Red Sox game...just when I had decided to go to bed.

187 Mattpat11   ~  May 3, 2015 9:44 pm

Oh Christ, here we go.

I didn't even mind losing this game. We won the series. I just don't want to lose this way.

188 kenboyer made me cry   ~  May 3, 2015 9:46 pm

I blame RI for going to bed.

189 thelarmis   ~  May 3, 2015 9:46 pm

finally out of it.

let's get to double digits and double these fuckers up.

i want a clean sweep!

190 thelarmis   ~  May 3, 2015 9:47 pm

[188] me too.

191 thelarmis   ~  May 3, 2015 9:49 pm

that's not helping, carlos.

192 thelarmis   ~  May 3, 2015 9:51 pm

that's not helping either, chase.

why does it kinda feel like we're losing?

193 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  May 3, 2015 9:52 pm

This is not the spot to hand them an easy 1-2-3.

194 thelarmis   ~  May 3, 2015 9:52 pm

lame frame.

hold these scumsuckers!!!

195 thelarmis   ~  May 3, 2015 9:54 pm

i really wish rickey hit 3 more homers so he could be in the 300-300 club i so dearly love...

196 knuckles   ~  May 3, 2015 9:55 pm

Fossilized rock stars, yeah!

197 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  May 3, 2015 9:57 pm

Okay, now: Thou shalt not throw a single ball to Mookie Betts.

198 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  May 3, 2015 10:03 pm

When La Quinta inns needs a voiceover talent for their commercials, you know what Fred Willard becomes?

Able to pay his mortgage!

199 Mattpat11   ~  May 3, 2015 10:04 pm

That was as scary a 1-2-3 inning as you'll find

200 kenboyer made me cry   ~  May 3, 2015 10:05 pm

I had to pause live TV to take out the dog. No laments are a good sign as I'm probably 10 mins behind

208 thelarmis   ~  May 3, 2015 10:16 pm

not even close, shit sock fans.

209 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  May 3, 2015 10:17 pm

The runner doesn't give the batter a strike. It's the other way around.

210 thelarmis   ~  May 3, 2015 10:18 pm

bases loaded.

i *really* want more runs!

211 thelarmis   ~  May 3, 2015 10:18 pm

low and inside. good call!

212 thelarmis   ~  May 3, 2015 10:19 pm

just got under it.

crap.

213 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  May 3, 2015 10:19 pm

That's a lot of runs to not score.

214 thelarmis   ~  May 3, 2015 10:24 pm

Why not bring in Carpenter to face idiot Ramirez?

215 thelarmis   ~  May 3, 2015 10:25 pm

Don't fucking walk him!

216 thelarmis   ~  May 3, 2015 10:25 pm

Sit. Down.

217 kenboyer made me cry   ~  May 3, 2015 10:26 pm

Big strikeout!

218 thelarmis   ~  May 3, 2015 10:29 pm

Carp!

219 Mattpat11   ~  May 3, 2015 10:29 pm

224 thelarmis   ~  May 3, 2015 10:39 pm

230 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 3, 2015 10:45 pm

Fuck you, blue!

231 thelarmis   ~  May 3, 2015 10:45 pm

bottom of the order for boston. i don't wanna see the lineup turnover...

232 thelarmis   ~  May 3, 2015 10:45 pm

[229] waaay too many. shoulda been 9 runs with alex at bat.

233 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  May 3, 2015 10:46 pm

Worst ball-strike call of the night.

234 Mattpat11   ~  May 3, 2015 10:47 pm

Miller hasn't thrown a strike yet

235 Mattpat11   ~  May 3, 2015 10:48 pm

236 thelarmis   ~  May 3, 2015 10:48 pm

237 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  May 3, 2015 10:49 pm

242 thelarmis   ~  May 3, 2015 10:52 pm

He's just torturing the Sux, that's all

255 thelarmis   ~  May 3, 2015 10:58 pm

Why? why does it always have to be like this with these teams? we should've won handily two hours ago.

my tv is on mute.

there's a feeble swing!

256 thelarmis   ~  May 3, 2015 10:58 pm

strike two.

wanna complain about that call, Mr. Arias?

257 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  May 3, 2015 11:00 pm

Happy sweep everyone!

"For every Bronx boy ten years old, not once but whenever he wants it, there is the instant when it’s still not yet game time on that September Thursday in 1978 ... and the four-game weekend series is all in the balance, it hasn’t happened yet, it hasn’t even begun yet..."

Apologies to Shelby Foote. Sorta.

258 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 3, 2015 11:00 pm

Had em all the way. Great series. Cheers, y'all!

259 Mattpat11   ~  May 3, 2015 11:00 pm

262 thelarmis   ~  May 3, 2015 11:00 pm

Happy BROOM Day!!!

263 kenboyer made me cry   ~  May 3, 2015 11:01 pm

Yay! Does make you feel alive...

264 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  May 3, 2015 11:02 pm

Nothing like a good adrenaline dump as I try to go to sleep to start the work week.

265 RIYank   ~  May 4, 2015 5:07 am

[188] [190] Okay, okay, sorry.

But can't you guys manage to handle things when I spot you an 8-0 lead?
{sigh} I'll have to do all these myself from now on.
