They called the game early yesterday and it was a good thing. It rained all day and into the night. Friday night wasn’t so much fun. Lance McCullers was nasty and the Astros cruised, 5-1.
Today gives Mother’s Day but also Derek Jeter Retirement Day at at the Stadium. And a day-night-double-header, to boot. Since it is Jeter’s Day—and who else but Jeter could get away with having his day on Mother’s Day?—of course the sun is shining, Simpsons clouds in the sky, a beautiful, crisp spring day. The green is full on, trees in bloom everywhere, just lovely.
I don’t care much for these kinds of ceremonies but if anyone was ever deserving it’s DJ. Meanwhile, let’s hope the Yanks celebrate him properly with 2 wins today.
Never mind the pink:
Let’s Go Yankees!

Crap, Chapman out for about a month
Pink uniforms just ain't right
Yay, a run
Come on, blue
Phew
Didi with the lucky break
Sigh
Dammit
Sevvy doesn't have it today.
Finally
Starlin! Tied up
An Aaron Judge special!
Official game now
Oopsie!
Tough error
Why take Green out after only 48 pitches? : /
Modammit
Moderation. Word press sucks!
Green was cruising and is stretched out. We have another game to play tonight. Zero reason to remove him from the game. : /
Wow. Ugly as fuck. We deserve to lose...
Fuck
Holliday comes through, almost tied up again
Starlin, redux! retied
Gogo Castro!
Let's go Didi!
This is why I hate the automatic IBB, make them have to throw four pitches. You never know what can happen
Headley came through!
HEADLEY!!!
Let's get double digits for the Captain!!
[28] There ya go
Double Digits!!
Nice job on the thread rbj!
Just caught up to live video. Was celebrating Mother's Day. Anyhow great to see the bats come alive!
Nice win, now lets win two today
Awesome win after that brutal start from Sevvy. Re2pect!
Ceremony starting
I absolutely fuckiing LOVE my Captain. That was pretty great! Watched with my family :)
Congrats, Derek!!!
Yeah, very nice, but Monument Park blazers?
Interesting they had Aaron Judge escort Zim's widow out onto the field. Next face of the franchise?
Oh, no.
Boo!
Ugh, have they secretly replaced Tanaka withSevvy?
Gift K
Mo fucker
Fuckity fuck fuck
I hope he's not injured...
Come on offense
What happened to Tanaka? Just tuning in.
Two solos and a granny. Even one out was loud
Thanks. He seems so off this year.
I'm wondering if it's his elbow
I'm really surprised he lasted that long.
I'm predicting a DL stint
Ugh this game kind of sucks so far
Cy Morton
A nonstrikeout out
CI? Nice of ESPN to finally notice
I'd turn it off if I had a job to go to in the morning
Yeah no work tomorrow. Getting a long look at giovanny in any case.
Is it me or has Houston had huge strike zones all weekend.
[57] yup
Wide zone for both exam. I guess blue has a hot date tonight
Um teams
Not shut out!
Something. More of that please.
Booyah!
Boom! Finally some hits!
Replay looked safe.
Did a lot of yard work this weekend, night all
G'night rbj
This ump is terrible. He's not entirely inconsistent but his strike zone is absurd.
Padding stats...
bwahaha
No matter the outcome. It's insane we have the tying run at the plate.
Oh well. Amazing we even had a shot there...
And note after Tanaka left in the second inning we didn't allow another earned run. Though one was because of Sanchez who was brutal all night with dropping balls. I worry he has a minor injury and may need to sit a couple of days.
Man, the whole weekend was a giant cluster fuck for the Yankees.
Chapman's out. Tanaka is in doubt.
Kansas City here we come.
Definitely a tough weekend but we're still in first place, the kids are still fun to watch, etc... Hard to be too disappointed when we are still far above expectations.
