It was just an absolutely gorgeous spring day in New York. I hung out with my mom, down from Vermont and thrilled to see any king of green. We walked up Riverside Drive on the Upper West Side, where we lived 40 years ago, and she remarked how different the neighborhood is today—flower beds all over the place, community gardens. In the seventies there was a lot of garbage—parents had to scoop the doo doc out of the sandbox before we went in to play. Anyhow, she is a person who belongs in the garden, thrives outdoors, and it is still gray where she lives, so she was just so happy to be out and I was happy to be out with her.
Luis Severino goes against the Mariners at the Stadium tonight. Should be a fine weekend for ball. Be nice to see Robbie Cano.
Never mind the pollen:
Let’s Go Yank-ees!
Happy Jackie Robinson Day!
My lawn is looking at me with a plea for getting mowed.
I wouldn't boo Cano, I've got no problem if someone wants to chase the dollars, it's a business.
Gritner!
How in hell did Castro make that catch
Ha, got to second anyhow
Not one of Didi's better games so far.
It doesn't occur to me to boo for Robbie Cano.
I knew he was going to throw the heater there
I leave for minute and ugh.
Not deep enough, Carlos
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!
Crud
Crud.
Ha, Jinx!
[14] had to refresh my bourbon
I wish Robbie success, just not against the Yankees.
Canoes still got the nice smile. He's looking a little grubby though!
That 1-2 pitch to Nellie looked pretty damn good.
Big K there. One more
Severino giving up too many hits...not putting hitters away like last year.
Getting a little ugly here...
There ya go Kirby!
Need a comeback here. King Felix tomorrow, which I peg as a loss. Busy afternoon for me so might not catch it.
Swing Brett, swing
Modammit!
Am I wrong or does Robbie look like he's put on a few since he left?
Iafuckinghateyou
Mrs. Robinson still able to walk on her own.
MLBN
Lost cause tonight.
Offensive woes from last year continue.
Our vaunted bullpen not too hot tonight either. Looked like a tryout for Tyler Olson.
I'm out, lots to do tomorrow.
Olson seems a less effective version of Chasen Shreve.
Olson the sacrificial lamb. Please take him out!
To belabor the obvious, Mariners have scored at least one run in the LAST SIX innings. Wearing out the fans.
Well...good night all.
PS...Yanks 0 for 12 with RISP.
I guess we don't need a new game thread because the team is picking up where they left off. Now 0-13 with RISP.
0-15 now.
0 for 16. I'm going to go mow the lawn.
I'm going out soon. This is horse shit. 3 to 38.
That's Headley.
Nice couple of strikeouts here by CC.
37) Ha!
Nice rip Carlos. Hilarious that Tex had to run all the way home from first!
I'm back.
[44] Good thing he wasn't on second or third.
Le sigh
Oh, maybe CC is getting tired.
1 run wasn't going to be enough. Who knew.
Atta boy, Didi!
Hot diggity, Didi!
Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Blech
So home and first are scoring positions for the Yankees.
Carlos swinging a BIG STICK.
Sweet DP by Cano.
How long before they make Beltran the full-time DH? How long before Alex loses all the good will he earned last year? I guess the next few weeks will tell. He will get much longer to get going if they are winning.
Maybe Alex will do a 2015 Beltran. Suck in April then hot for the rest of the year.
{57}Hope so but patience requires winning and vice versa.
Miller!
Rally time.
Pathetic.
Uh oh, RISP
C'mon!
And it's the same...old. song.
Oh course. Bleah!
Not gonna win when we leave 14 on base.
