That’s a whole lotta scrap at the bottom of this lineup. Be great if Robbie Ref does something good, wouldn’t it?
Never mind the locals:
Let’s Go Yank-ees!

Ah, I get the Fox feed.
Can't watch on mlb.tv because it's blacked out.
Yay-Rod!
(not a repeat)
Oh my god.
Gosh, they just love Alex here at Fenway.
Nova pounding the zone, getting bad swings, excellent work.
Well that sucked.
Not a good inning
This isn't looking good either
Yes!
Perfect.
I'm really enjoying the Mike Napoli Red Sox years.
Heeeeeere's Refsnyder
Briefs Mom keeping score
Blech, double play.
That's Refs please autoc.
Ugh, so Ref kind of destroyed what might have been a nice rally.
Welcome to the bigs, Ref!
Ugly.
I was distracted. Yeah, that's the ticket.
rbj almost made it!
i'm late, but... YEAH, A-ROD!!!
Not a good game so far.
Sloppy throw
Nice AB for Teix.
Hmph.
Blerg
[26] My sentiments exactly
Refs going to have to earn it.
Me!
Nice catch, Brett!
nice catch, brett.
start whining, Big Babi!
siddown, hanley.
I smell comeback.
Too bad, announcers, you're not the ump!
[33] Who is the jock in the booth with the folksy voice. One's Orel, right? The other one is annoying the hell out of me.
[32] me too.
nova's pitch count is very manageable. keep 'em at 3 and let's break their hearts!
ok. how 'bout - one pitch, double play?!
Kenny Albert anncr, Tom Verducci, Harold Reynolds color guys. Kenny is Marv bro.
[34] there's Verducci, Harold Reynolds and I'm not sure who the main guy is.
Another starter leaves with fewer than 90 pitches. That's 5 in a row.
Decent start for Nova
Crap
Bad route for Young
Argh.
[37] OK. Hal Reynolds? Hmmm. So only one jock, then.
Seems like Mr. Young took a bad route on that ball, but what do i know.
Wait. Hand speed = bat speed = exit velocity.
I was never good in math, but, huh?
Fuck
I blame Girardi.
Excruciating
Oh, can I be in love with the Sox like these anncrs?
Phew
Rats
Rosenthal just called Ref a "professional hitter," although he was paraphrasing what others said.
I guess that was a professional pop-up.
[52] I hate that phrase. Unless you are a pitcher, you are paid, in part, to hit. That makes you a professional hitter.
Brett!
[53] Yes, and I'm a professional bullshitter or, If you will, copywriter.
Dang, no more batting gloves exchanged hands. (BTW, that's gotta be the coolest idea in fan appreciation ever).
It's time to say "good-night" to Napoli.
Hey anncrs, Mitchell just threw a 97mph fastball and you're talking about Napoli swing arc! You guys are idiots!
Unfortunately, Headley a sucker for the low pitch.
Crud. Get 'em tomorrow
