It’s the Big Fella on the hill on a gray, chilly evening in the BX. The Old Fella, the Relic, the Good Fella.
C’mon, C.C., we love ya, dude.
Brett Gardner LF
Chase Headley 3B
Alex Rodriguez DH
Mark Teixeira 1B
Brian McCann C
Carlos Beltran RF
Didi Gregorius SS
Stephen Drew 2B
Mason Williams CF
Never mind Giancarlo:
Let’s Go Yank-ees!
I really love that Diana Munson has stayed connected with the Yankees for 35 years.
Good start, CC
2 away!
Did Beltran ever see the ball in that at bat?
Nerts!
CC = Cruise Control.
McCann, Headley, Beltran should have seen Latos pitch a lot in NL. Let's see some hits!
Didi go for HR!
I feel like putting on 74 baserunners and scoring one run against a terrible Mat Latos may come back to haunt us
Holding Stanton to a single is a victory.
[10] I loved the way he struck out last night against Pineda and Betances, both on called third strikes.
1 away!
Someone needs to remind the Yankees that Mat Latos sucks.
Up to you, Carlos.
Carlos overdue for an HR...
Boo, Carlos.
Carlos has retired but he just hasn't told anyone.
Mason doing his part. Keep the line moving!
You know what?
Kay is always saying, on a ball in the gap, "It splits the outfielders!"
But actually, it does the opposite; it brings them together. They converge on the ball.
What's Mason's slugging # look like.
Yaay!!!
Gritner!
Hurray! Keep the line moving!
Gardy all fired up coming back to the dugout. Like the spirit!
Damn
Crap, Harper injury to the knee. Don't want a Fydrich situation.
I remember Mickey tripping on the water thingie in right center. The start of his knee problems, like 1951 or so.
Swing the bat, Carlos
Great prediction!
Carlos redeems himself! Rabbit farm speech put off for another day.
[29] NostraColeman!
That's the Carlos I remember from KC...
Nice but 5 homers into late June does not cut it.
I also remember Carlos called third strike to end Mets v. Phillies playoff...
Such a weird delivery. Where did he pick it up?
[35] His father?
Ah, defense.
[36] is that what happened? I never thought of it before.
Crowd seems into it. Pity the Yankees didn't take advantage of a marketing opportunity.
Come on, Alex!
Trying to hit him?
Asshole!
Pitch to him, you ass!
Fuck you!
Okay, this is uncalled for.
Alex getting some more love.
Fans being kind of hilariously hard on the pitcher.
That was a nice catch.
Bastard.
Being called an asshole by 30,000 in unison has to be disconcerting.
Still booing the guy? What are hockey fans sore the season is over? C'mon.
Nice hit McCann.
Beautiful. Nice and easy, up the middle.
[49] You'd think.
("Clear the mechanism.")
Alex, being the good teammate and saving Dellin for tomorrow.
Ah.....the good Yankees.
I've never seen such sustained booing in 65 years of watching baseball
Looking for a nice clean 9th inning, Chris
Martin hasn't been the same since getting the hook from Gwyneth.
Kay copying me again...
One down [57] why am I worried that I know that reference? I'm 50.
Soft spot in my heart for Ichiro.
Lenny Harris!
60) Love Ichi.
[60] Me too. Saw him here in Japan when I first arrived many years back.
[59] I'm 58. We're actually the demo for both of them.
Two down
[60] Who could not like him?
[64] yet I don't care for modern music and haven't seen a movie in . . . A decade?
The man is baseball incarnate.
If they get to Stanton, my bet is on Dellin coming in.
Nice win, Team.
There ya go! Night all.
Not necessary! Nice job, Yanks!
[67] Chris Martin for 15 years has been the most important creator of
soft-rock/AAA/Alternative music. Gwyneth even for all her perceived craziness has had significant roles in some acclaimed films for the same amount of years. No matter how much you don't care, it gets through.
Nice win, back to the good Yankees.
Nice "W"
[73] I tried to listen to a Coldplay album once, got to the third song then gave up. Bland, soulless garbage. :)
[76] I agree, and have never listened straight through a Coldplay album. But in small doses,some of the songs are appealing. The songwriting is diluted by the production in my opinion.
[77] That's charitable. I'm 41..terified of how intolerant of most modern music I'll be as the years go on!
[39] It's absolutely unforgivable and ludicrous for the Yankees management to say A-Rod's milestone accomplishments are no longer a marketing opportunity. In fact, it is insulting to anyone with a brain.
This is the team that not only retired the number of Bernie Williams, but made a plaque for him in monument park. A team that retired the numbers of Joe Torre, Jorge Posada, and Andy Pettit.
This is a guy who really deserves accolades, whether he took drugs or not. Whether or not he is an asshole. No body is suggesting we make him a knight or give him a key to the city.
There are a multitude of marketing opportunties riding on his back this season. It's money in the bank, there for the taking. Why they are choosing to ignore the obvious can only be chalked up to stupidity or greed.
[78] Most modern music. What does that mean? You ain't digging enough. There is so much choice today, it boggles the mind.
For example, check out Alabama Shakes. You'll be in for a nice surprise. (for the record, I don't get Cold Play either).
BTW, I found a pizza jazz bar near the Corridor, we should check out.
[80] You know I'm all in for pizza and jazz.
Did sound very old-manish there, sorry. What I meant was, most modern 'pop' music. There's wonderful new music coming from Africa, Brazil, the jazz world, etc. Pop charts seem dull and formulaic now is what I was trying to say.
man, i really wish i could be here for more game threads. i wanna join in on sooo many of the topics! i'd do it now, but it'll be a dead thread by tomorrow...
but, seriously, why the fuck was dellin warming up in a 9-4 game?!
damn you, GI Joe!!!
Very strange to be 6 hours ahead of a game thread. Sorta like watching a game on left coast from home. But since I'm in Italy, the great food and vino means I can't stay up. So thanks banterers for the highlight!
