Zilch

Not much doing for the Bombers today. They did let Garrett Jones go, which is a drag cause I always liked him–my ideal of what the average Elmore Leonard hero looks like.

Yanks in Chicago tonight.

Jacoby Ellsbury CF
Chris Young LF
Alex Rodriguez DH
Mark Teixeira 1B
Carlos Beltran RF
Chase Headley 3B
John Ryan Murphy C
Brendan Ryan 2B
Didi Gregorius SS

Let’s hope they get back in the groove.

Never mind the deadline:

Let’s Go Yank-ees!

Was wondering why crew folk were quoting Rowdy Roddy Piper movies today. He was more cartoony live than the Saturday morning cartoon version of him. I'll miss that.

He came here to chew some bubblegum and kick ass.

Jesus.

I can't believe I'm stuck here at Jones Beach watching Marilyn Manson. Would rather be watching Ed Whitson.

9 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jul 31, 2015 7:54 pm

A diaper change turned a 2-0 lead to 6-0. Holy shit!

10 rbj   ~  Jul 31, 2015 7:58 pm

I haven't followed the game, packing up to depart Lake a Gaston by ten am (too early when on vacation) Nice.
Harvey's retired the first 15 in a row. Collins better not let him throw 130 pitches.

11 rbj   ~  Jul 31, 2015 8:00 pm

Never mind, there's a hit.

12 thelarmis   ~  Jul 31, 2015 8:01 pm

I'm stuck at a Phish concert...

13 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jul 31, 2015 8:04 pm

Damn. That would have been a sick play.

14 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jul 31, 2015 8:22 pm

Throw the Modamn ball,Headley! For fuck's sake!

15 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jul 31, 2015 8:36 pm

Motherfucker is on FIRE.

My God, this is incredible.

16 RIYank   ~  Jul 31, 2015 8:36 pm

Jesus freaking Teix.
Unreal.

17 RIYank   ~  Jul 31, 2015 8:36 pm

I know, right?
What are we watching?? I thought that guy disappeared years ago.

18 thelarmis   ~  Jul 31, 2015 8:38 pm

TEX!!

Can't wait to see highlights.

19 RIYank   ~  Jul 31, 2015 8:40 pm

WHO ARE THESE GUYS?

20 thelarmis   ~  Jul 31, 2015 8:41 pm

I want double digits!!

21 RIYank   ~  Jul 31, 2015 8:42 pm

Double digits just in time for thelarmis!

22 thelarmis   ~  Jul 31, 2015 8:42 pm

There we go!

23 thelarmis   ~  Jul 31, 2015 8:45 pm

Jake is due. I hope he at least gets us to a dozen

24 thelarmis   ~  Jul 31, 2015 8:49 pm

Tex has 41 multi-homer games. Breaks a tie with Chipper for 2nd most amongst switch-hitters, behind some guy named Mantle.

He's homered from both sides of the plate 14 times, breaking a tie with Swish for most of all-time.

Badass!

25 thelarmis   ~  Jul 31, 2015 8:52 pm

I hope Eo is alright after the long frame.

26 thelarmis   ~  Jul 31, 2015 9:04 pm

A-Rod on bass yet again!

27 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 31, 2015 9:05 pm

I'm stuck at a Phish concert...

BLASPHEMER!!!

28 RIYank   ~  Jul 31, 2015 9:06 pm

I like toasting the other team's bullpen in the first game of a series.

29 RIYank   ~  Jul 31, 2015 9:07 pm

Wow.

30 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 31, 2015 9:07 pm

[27] That's a tasty looking set list so far, btw.

31 thelarmis   ~  Jul 31, 2015 9:08 pm

Tex with another XBH!!!

Ha! I knew that would draw cult out! What's up, buddy?

32 thelarmis   ~  Jul 31, 2015 9:09 pm

I was playing on the earlier comment about being stuck at Marilyn Manson show.

33 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 31, 2015 9:10 pm

Not much. How you doing? How's the show?

34 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 31, 2015 9:11 pm

Saw the LA Forum show about a week ago, it was pretty fantastic.

Damn, went downstairs to help my roomie and it was 1-0, come back to this?

Anybody else super excited for Severino?

35 RIYank   ~  Jul 31, 2015 9:12 pm

And there's yer dozen.

36 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 31, 2015 9:12 pm

That's HEADLEY!

37 thelarmis   ~  Jul 31, 2015 9:13 pm

That's a dozen! Let's make it a baker's!

A-Rod with 4 runs scored!

38 thelarmis   ~  Jul 31, 2015 9:15 pm

I'm good. Lots going on...

I still want that baker's dozen!

39 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 31, 2015 9:23 pm

Wow.

Hell of a play from JR.

40 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 31, 2015 9:47 pm

Dammit! Tesh should have had a couple more there.

41 thelarmis   ~  Jul 31, 2015 10:09 pm

The Ackley Era begins.

42 thelarmis   ~  Jul 31, 2015 10:12 pm

way too many pitches for Eo.

43 thelarmis   ~  Jul 31, 2015 10:14 pm

i'd like for this to remain a good run diff game...

44 thelarmis   ~  Jul 31, 2015 10:16 pm

damn. now i want 15 runs so we can have +10 run diff.

blow jays walked off...

45 RIYank   ~  Jul 31, 2015 10:22 pm

I'm ready for it to be over, honestly.

46 thelarmis   ~  Jul 31, 2015 10:36 pm

alex and tex each on base 5 times tonight. 6 runs and 7 rbi between them.

47 thelarmis   ~  Jul 31, 2015 10:37 pm

[45] i hear ya.

ack.

48 Boatzilla   ~  Jul 31, 2015 10:37 pm

[41] I thought we were passed the Ken Phelps, Tony Womack, Dustin Ackley era. Those two guys they gave up had life, spunk. I don't want to mix up the names but either Flores or Ramirez did some great things in his brief up of coffee this year.

Ackley is a 240 hitter, who will never be a Tex type 240 hitter. I HATE this move. HATE IT. HATE IT. HATE IT.

49 thelarmis   ~  Jul 31, 2015 10:47 pm

laroche on the mound for the pale hose.

let's get that run diff back to double digits!!

50 thelarmis   ~  Jul 31, 2015 10:48 pm

drew couldn't get a hit...

51 thelarmis   ~  Jul 31, 2015 10:50 pm

La Lob!

52 thelarmis   ~  Jul 31, 2015 10:51 pm

11 pitches = 3 outs for LaRoche.

struck out ryan with high "heat"!

53 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 31, 2015 10:52 pm

I'd say that if you can't quite remember who it was you were getting angry over, they're probably not worth getting angry over.

Here's the RAB write up on the two Yankees going the other way:


Flores, 23, made his MLB debut earlier this year and stood out more for his glove than his bat in 12 games. He is hitting .286/.377/.417 (113 wRC+) with seven homers in 73 Triple-A games this year. Flores has a classic left-handed platoon outfielder’s profile, a Seth Smith type, and he’ll have a much greater opportunity for playing time in Seattle. I would not at all be surprised to see him carve out a long career as a useful role player.

The 25-year-old Ramirez has been up and down a few times the last two years, allowing eleven runs on 17 hits and eleven walks in 13 big league innings. Yikes! He’s struck out a dozen. Ramirez has a 2.90 ERA (2.70 FIP) with 26.7 K% and 11.0 BB% in 49.2 Triple-A innings this year. He has superb stuff — at his best, Ramirez sits mid-90s and gets swings and miss with both his changeup and slider — but his command is spotty and his injury history is ugly.

54 Evil Empire   ~  Jul 31, 2015 10:54 pm

[36] I've been saying that all season whenever Headley's name is mentioned

55 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 31, 2015 10:56 pm

End Italics!

56 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 31, 2015 10:56 pm

Another Try

57 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 31, 2015 10:57 pm

Uh oh, my bad

58 thelarmis   ~  Jul 31, 2015 11:06 pm

run diff +7

59 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 31, 2015 11:09 pm

Are you home already, nostra?

60 thelarmis   ~  Jul 31, 2015 11:10 pm

61 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 31, 2015 11:14 pm

Nice. You got a nice set list. Martian Monster! (I got one of those to kick off the LA show).

God bless YouTube, I'll probably be able to give the show a listen tomorrow.
