Michael Pineda gets hit hard early then settles down. He takes his time between pitches, talking to himself, brushing things away with his hands. He looks like he’s dragging ass, like he’s lallygagging. I’m not sure it’s fair to say he’s actually lallygagging but something sure seems to get in his way. He couldn’t recover from an early pounding and the Yanks took it on the chin, 7-3.
They still have a shot to win the series. Let’s see what they’ve got for us tonightski.
Never mind the pollen:
Let’s Go Yank-ees!
Mmmm, real albums.
Yo, Alex (and everyone else) ... are you following The Diary of Myles Thomas over at ESPN???
Here's the scoop:
“1927: The Diary of Myles Thomas” is an experiment in storytelling, a new genre that we’re calling real-time historical fiction. The core of the project is a historical novel in the form of a diary of a pitcher on the 1927 Yankees, which will be complemented by a wealth of fact-based content from the season, all published along the same timeline as the events unfolded almost 90 years ago.
Through Myles Thomas’s diary entries, additional essays and real-time social-media components “re-living” that famous Yankees season, our goal is to explore the rarefied nexus of baseball, jazz and Prohibition — defining elements of the remarkable world that existed in 1927.

It's pretty mind blowing that they're even doing this ... and it's good, real good (from what I've read so far).
Ouch.
Cain keeps hurting the Yankees. But it looks like Eo is Ok
Yes!
Even Better, Starlin goes boom!
Hey all. I'm embedded deeper than usual in Red Sox Nation -- down east, as it were. This will be the last game I get to watch for a week or so, and it better be good.
[2]. The first one I read just now was pretty damn cool. I've fallen into some terrible internet habits of mindlessly checking the same sites every day. That looks like a great one to check out daily. Cheers!
Hey, Chase!!!
REJOICE!
THAT'S HEADLEY!!!
[7] I assume a two run shot from Headley fits the bill?
[8] Me too! This one looks like a NEW site to check daily. What an odd, awesome idea to commit to!
Goddam it.
What is it about Lorenzo Cain? Why aren't we able to get him out?
Eric Hosmer is a foul, foul man.
Phew
That play by Tex was a game saver for Eo.
RI, heading to Maine?
No shutout.
Day-um
Don't miss your Modamn location by a foot, Nwthan. Oi!
Ugh.
[18] Already in Maine. Ellsworth. Spent the day in Acadia!
Not liking this. Crap
Goddam it. Come on, Nate! This was going so well.
[23] beautiful. Springtime in Maine.
Eo has so much talent; he just has lapses. It's a mystery.
Ugh Ugh.
3 smashes in a row.. Bollocks!
[26] Million dollar arm, ten dollar head ...
Didi gets those runs back!
Love me some Didi.
Didle!
Oh yes he Did-i!
Five runs on three hits. Now that's efficient.
Thelarmis don't call him Dodo anymore.
I hold my breath when Beltron has to run to catch one.
Eric Dousble.
[36] I was thinking that too. When Michael says, "Long run for Beltran..." I expect trouble.
Sigh
Argh!
Left him in too long. So frustrating.
Never Easy Eovaldi. Rats.
Beware of the three run job.
94 pitches for Eo, doubt he's out for the sixth
Phew part deux
Phew. Eo needs to sleep.
[44] Pheux.
Nice. 1 2 3 inning, Kirby.
So is 'No Run DMC' Kay's new 'Generation Tres'? Really wish he'd stop that..
(2) Thanks Cult, will check that out.
Would it kill Teix to lighten up in the field?
Nice. Ks are good.
[49] I read a random one and then the first one already. Fun.
[49] I was waiting for you to show up! So I could go, "See [2] ... it's got JAZZ!!!"
Is there anything more schmaltzy then "Kate Smith's rendition of "God Bless America""?
Enough already. Too much on the sleeve patriotism cheapens love of country.
[54] Mute button's been your friend for close to 15 years now ...
Worm burner in the pen!
Wang!
(54) Cheap patriotism the sign of a decaying society..add in the moat seats, no backpacks and hostile security staff = no NYS for the Jazz family
So good to see Chien Ming Wang again!!!
He coulda been real special if it wasn't for the NL non-DH rule.
(54). As I've said here before, this whole 7th inning God Bless America thing was only a reaction to 9/11. We don't have to prove our patriotism twice a ballgame.
Nice work, Castro.
Insurance
Our Teix has had a night shitty enough for John Tesh ...
I'll take the walk
This would be a great time for number 400.
Alas
[63] Never gets old: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_h7Lm7C9Nk
I really hate the one-inning reliever thing..just no reason at all Betances can't pitch two.
Sneezing? Kay is reaching for material tonight, though I've never thought about it
One down
Two down
D'oh!
Sweet! Cheers y'all.
Three down. And a save -- saving Chapman for tomorrow.
Night all.
Headley for MVP!
HEADLEY!!!
Two series wins in a row!
Night all.
[60] What's sad is that some mopes, as well as the beastly suits that control our team, think that standing for song or saying a pledge or waving a flag is patriotism.
We make fun of the North Koreans for doing this.
Who the fuck was Kate Smith, anyway? What did she stand for? Wouldn't you rather hear Woody singing "This Land Is Your Land"?
Hey, I like our infield a lot. Cash gets props on that. I would be happy having Didi and Convertible for the next 8 years. I'm fine with Headley, for now, if he can keep picking and hit .230 with about 10 dingers.
Bottom line: I am not missing "Dontcha Know" anymore. I finally got over it.
No game thread yet, but just saw the Yanks lineup for tonight, dropping Gardy to 8th.
