See because when C.C. pitches as well as he did on Monday night, you gotta figure the Yanks are going to score enough runs to get him the win. Which is just what they did, thanks in part to a tasty to 3-run homer off the bat of Gary Sanchez.
7-1 was the final and everybody digested just fine.
Tonight gives Big Mike against Jason Vargas, who—and this is random as hell—has been pitching great so far this year.
Never mind the burn:
Let’s Go Yank-ees!
Oh great, it's Cy Vargas and his 1.01 era
Vargas! Wasn't he a drug kingpin killed by McBain in the 2nd McBain movie??
Starlin getting us our run for the night
It's been awhile since I've loged on so it's great to be chatting with my friends on the banter. Let's go Yankees!
[2] Dunno, haven't seen those movies
that isn't even close to a strike. and why call it so emphatically?
[2] Simpsons reference :)
[4] Hi Gary!
Blech, wasting pitches
Fucking bollocks. Walking that dude. Ken Singleton always sounds much happier when Kay isn't around. Or maybe it just improves my mood.
[9] I like Singleton as a play-by-play guy, he and Cone are the best YES team.
Nice dp.
[10] Absolutely.
Watching the KC feed. serious effort to sell charity opportunities. bah.
Didi does in. judge goes to 3rd!
A second run! We are over our limit from Cy Vargas
Hot damn!
Hicks!
Ka-Boom! Somewhere thelarmis is loving the run differential.
Hell yeah.
One of the things about facing a guy like Vargas is that even if you believe he might actually be good now, with a 1.01 ERA he's more than due to give up 17 runs in 12 innings at some point.
And there was no better time to start than tonight
Six!
love those crooked numbers
Rumbling!
And all with two outs.
[24] The reverse Pineda
Royales radio guy is gushing about how complete a team the Yanks are...could it be..??
Unimpressed by this Vargas guy.
oops. still only the 4th.
Love Coney. He finds a way to seamlessly weave in "No Sleep "Til Brooklyn."
Got my new Verve coffee beans on today and I was shocked to find, along with "Allspice" and "Candied" one of the flavor notes in "The 1950" blend is "Earl Grey". How can you describe coffee flavor by referring to tea? Sacrilege!
Good evening. And I agree, Cone and Singleton is a fine team, and more relaxed. Silence is ok, and this is probably the highest IQ tandem on the Yes roster.
How about those Judge ABs, taking walks?
This is going well.
I'm starting to smell double digits
Roll Yankees!
Yeah, I'll be a little disappointed if we get stuck on single digits tonight.
With those 2 runs, the Ship has been righted again. Big Pine ready to man the tiller. Steady as she goes.
[31] Yes. IQ in the booth is underrated.
LeBron just went for 23-5-4 in the first half..wow. (Hoops interlude)
Carter had wheels?
Double digits!
Double digits!
DiDi scores Double Digits!
Hey!
Damn. These guys can just hit.
Hm. I can't tell. Kenny says he looks out, but I dunno.
well, another crooked number.
Huh. Okay.
That was super close. Nice inning anyway.
I know we're supposed to respect our elders, and Joe West is a baseball lifer, why is he such a dick?
rbj: kc announcers impressed with Carter speed.
Pineada losing concentration with the big lead.
[48] Cunty Joe West.
He's a good ump, though.
And the hits just keep on coming at WBMR!
Everyone gets a hit night
Hot damn hits!
It's obvious that KC (Slayor backwards) are mediocre at best, but the last two nights kinda demonstrates how good the Astros are,
Come one blue
Fuck you, Blue
Pineda must keep his concentration.
The inning's stil going. JAY-sas, Mike. Get some pine tar.
Phew
Pineda done for the evening?
Off topic, but I have to state that this Yankees team is exciting and interesting to watch. Their unfolding story helps counteract the daily shit-show we have to stomach on the news and our phones. Thank god.
[62] That's never off topic.
[62] avoiding poly ticks, yeah, this is a fun young team. A daily distraction from the nonsense eminating from D.C. Get far too much politics on tv, currently being unemployed
Jeez, Chase
That's Headley.
[62] Yep, my first stop each morning over coffee is my baseball Twitter list. Save the 'other' news for later.
Big Pine ready to ride the pine.
this umpire really is terrible.
[10] definitely.
Balto lose on a Machado check swing...love that!
Acceptable.
Ah, a Balboni reference. Gotta get my cover letters and resumes in tomorrow, night all
Good luck, rbj!
The Yankees are hitting .470 tonight.
Okay, time for a verdict, please!
Wrong verdict.
That's a Yankees strike and a Royals ball ( Judge's strike three).
Jesus Christ, end the fucking game. Stop giving up runs already. Think about the run diff!!
Bad Gio. Dellin should *not* have had to pitch in this game.
That's how ya do it!
Ha! I just read the game thread and saw Jazz mentioned me and the run diff :)
Dellon got the 4-pitch 1-out cheapie save. Take THAT, Randy Levine!
haha. Good game last night save that 9th inning. Still, double digits and we lead the majors in run differential. Astros catching up fast thought...
