The Nova trade is complete now, with the Yankees getting uninspiring prospects Tito Polo and Stephen Shipley. Maybe a fourth OF and a RP at the big league level... maybe. That's the upside.

Ivan is doing well for the Bucs. 4-0 with an ERA under 3, low walk rate, decent K-rate. Well, good for Ivan. I wonder if Cashman will try to resign him.

Only a double, Gary?

3 RIYank   ~  Aug 31, 2016 7:24 pm

The game is officially a plus game.
As soon as Franchez gets an extra-base hit, I'm satisfied.

4 RIYank   ~  Aug 31, 2016 7:24 pm

Is 'Franchez' okay? I think thelarmis called him Sanchise. Can't decide.

5 rbj   ~  Aug 31, 2016 7:25 pm

Which gets wasted

6 RIYank   ~  Aug 31, 2016 7:27 pm

Is it dumb to have Teixeira this high in the order? He's been hitting okay for a couple weeks. But he's not a cleanup hitter anymore.

7 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 31, 2016 7:27 pm

Nice grab, Chase.

8 RIYank   ~  Aug 31, 2016 7:32 pm

Hoo boy.
Early hole.

9 rbj   ~  Aug 31, 2016 7:32 pm

Shit

10 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 31, 2016 7:32 pm

Well that's not good.

11 RIYank   ~  Aug 31, 2016 7:49 pm

Getting out of hand. Although not all Cessa's fault.

12 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Aug 31, 2016 7:49 pm

[1] Tito Polo???? Seriously???? Surely that's not a baseball player, he's one of the backing musicians in Colombian salsa band Fruko Y Sus Tesos..

13 RIYank   ~  Aug 31, 2016 7:51 pm

It is a good name.

14 RIYank   ~  Aug 31, 2016 7:52 pm

What are tesos?

15 rbj   ~  Aug 31, 2016 7:54 pm

Damage limited

17 Eric McCauley   ~  Aug 31, 2016 8:00 pm

[4] It was "Sanchize."

It's kind of weird to see Ian Kennedy, even after all these years, not pitching for the Yankees.

18 RIYank   ~  Aug 31, 2016 8:05 pm

Yeesh.
There should be a good "Ho[s]mer" joke of some kind, but I'm not in the mood.

19 rbj   ~  Aug 31, 2016 8:06 pm

Royals tied it up last night, maybe we can return the favor

20 RIYank   ~  Aug 31, 2016 8:10 pm

Hm, it looks like a 'teso' is a flat topped hill. Why Fruko wanted some of those, I couldn't say.

http://es.thefreedictionary.com/teso

21 RIYank   ~  Aug 31, 2016 8:11 pm

They are just pounding Cessa. He's kind of lucky it's only four runs.

22 Chyll Will   ~  Aug 31, 2016 8:16 pm

[4],[17] Yeah, please forget about "Sanchize"... New Yorkers are still trying hard to forget about "Sanchize"...

23 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Aug 31, 2016 8:18 pm

[20] Intereting. Many flat-topped hills in Colombia?

[22] Who are these 'Jets' you link to? Does not compute..

24 rbj   ~  Aug 31, 2016 8:21 pm

At least there's no butt fumbling in baseball

25 Chyll Will   ~  Aug 31, 2016 8:27 pm

[24] No, but there are a few of these...

[23] It's a secret >;)

26 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 31, 2016 8:36 pm

Fucking shite!

27 rbj   ~  Aug 31, 2016 8:36 pm

Rats

28 rbj   ~  Aug 31, 2016 8:46 pm

Can we score some runs please

29 rbj   ~  Aug 31, 2016 8:48 pm

Quit expanding the zone

30 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 31, 2016 8:50 pm

Grrrrrrrr..... Teix just missed it.

31 rbj   ~  Aug 31, 2016 8:52 pm

There's one

32 rbj   ~  Aug 31, 2016 8:53 pm

Two more!

33 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 31, 2016 8:53 pm

I like it!! Go Go Castro.

34 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 31, 2016 8:54 pm

Fuck Ian Kennedy.

35 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Aug 31, 2016 8:59 pm

Hey guys. Got bummed watching the Yanks futility, tuned 8n to watch the Nats beat the Phils. That is excellent baseball 2-1. So switch to the yanks and it's a game. BTW, going to see Bruce tomorrow night. Heard the concert goes 4 hours!

36 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 31, 2016 9:01 pm

Damn, Headley.

37 rbj   ~  Aug 31, 2016 9:04 pm

I remember the ads over Cone's dog bite. Fans had to follow him around doing everything for him. Including the bathroom

38 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Aug 31, 2016 9:16 pm

Awful call blue

39 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 31, 2016 9:16 pm

Nice! 1st to 3rd.

40 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Aug 31, 2016 9:16 pm

Way to go Gritty

41 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Aug 31, 2016 9:19 pm

Good out Els!

42 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 31, 2016 9:20 pm

WHoo-hoo! Tied.

43 rbj   ~  Aug 31, 2016 9:22 pm

Now just don't do what the Royals did yesterday after tying it up.

44 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 31, 2016 9:26 pm

Mondesi isn't a fun looking ball player. Throw 'em out, Gary!

45 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 31, 2016 9:27 pm

Whoops. Is a fun looking ball player. Is. Yeesh.

46 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Aug 31, 2016 9:33 pm

Nice Inning Shreve

47 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Aug 31, 2016 9:39 pm

[44] Radio here, does he look like Gorman Thomas? Pascual Perez? Kent Tekulve? Some of my fave-looking balllpayers.

48 Boatzilla   ~  Aug 31, 2016 9:57 pm

[35] He's slowing down. He used to play for five hours when I saw him in the '80s. Piker. ;>)

Enjoy!

49 Boatzilla   ~  Aug 31, 2016 9:58 pm

[47] Oscar Gamble.

50 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Aug 31, 2016 10:08 pm

[48] 5 hours of Bruce Springsteen sounds...not pleasant for Mr. OK Jazz :)

51 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 31, 2016 10:19 pm

Balls!

52 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 31, 2016 10:23 pm

[47] Deion Sanders.

53 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Aug 31, 2016 10:25 pm

Great Gritty

54 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 31, 2016 10:27 pm

Great. Score 10!

55 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Aug 31, 2016 10:27 pm

Ok guys. US AK's need some sleep tonight. Get a couple and end this thing.

56 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Aug 31, 2016 10:44 pm

Did they really go hitless against Brooks Pounders?

57 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 31, 2016 10:50 pm

Yikes! Phew.

58 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 31, 2016 10:58 pm

Judge just watched 2 meatballs pass after swinging at a ball. What the living fuck!

59 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 31, 2016 10:59 pm

Bases juiced. 1 out. Sanchez to bat.

60 thelarmis   ~  Aug 31, 2016 11:01 pm

61 thelarmis   ~  Aug 31, 2016 11:03 pm

62 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 31, 2016 11:04 pm

77 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 31, 2016 11:24 pm

You are do for a big ab, Judge.

78 thelarmis   ~  Aug 31, 2016 11:25 pm

[72] thanks. yeah, i saw the replay and wondered why the writer questioned the hold.

79 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 31, 2016 11:26 pm

BOOOOOOOOOO!

80 thelarmis   ~  Aug 31, 2016 11:27 pm

wow. judge looks TERRIBLE! just really really bad. he's guessing and uncomfortable. swung at ball 4...

81 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Aug 31, 2016 11:28 pm

Another nail biter.

82 thelarmis   ~  Aug 31, 2016 11:29 pm

[75] oops. i meant castro on the baserunning. heads up tag.

83 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 31, 2016 11:29 pm

Lame. Let's go Dancin'!

84 thelarmis   ~  Aug 31, 2016 11:30 pm

i really hope dellin doesn't implode. i can see him hitting the first batter and hosmer taking him yard. ugh...

i'll gladly settle for a nice, easy 1-2-3. i'd like to enjoy my dinner!

85 thelarmis   ~  Aug 31, 2016 11:31 pm

everybody here see we traded gamel today? he won mvp yesterday. sell high!

86 thelarmis   ~  Aug 31, 2016 11:33 pm

i was close.

87 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 31, 2016 11:33 pm

That's one way to start an inninq.

88 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 31, 2016 11:34 pm

TERRIBLE!

89 thelarmis   ~  Aug 31, 2016 11:34 pm

90 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Aug 31, 2016 11:34 pm

Is Betances a bit tired perhaps?

91 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 31, 2016 11:35 pm

Hot damn!

92 thelarmis   ~  Aug 31, 2016 11:35 pm

93 thelarmis   ~  Aug 31, 2016 11:36 pm

PLAY OF THE YEAR!!!

94 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 31, 2016 11:36 pm

Mo Damn. Cjeerw, y'all. What a win!

95 thelarmis   ~  Aug 31, 2016 11:37 pm

well, i'll be!

96 thelarmis   ~  Aug 31, 2016 11:40 pm

i feel strange saying this, but if you look away, castro sounds a bit like Mo when he speaks. slightly deeper tone, but similar cadence.

97 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Aug 31, 2016 11:42 pm

Crazy. Who would have thought that we would play meaningful games in September?
