Who Said Anything About Being Fair?

Foggy Empire State Bags

How did Crash Davis put it? Well, fuck this fucking game. Think that’s how it went. Certainly what came to mind last night when the A’s rally for 4 runs late to beat the Yanks, 4-1 on a night when Masahiro Tanaka was terrific. The game was close but also strangely boring because all anyone with a stick did was swing and miss at the ball.

First time all year I got agitated by a loss.

Guess that means I still care. Ha!

Back at it this afternoon on an overcast day in the BX.

Never mind the hangover:

Let’s Go Yank-ees!

How about scoring some runs

2 rbj   ~  May 27, 2017 12:30 pm

Baserunners!

3 rbj   ~  May 27, 2017 12:32 pm

Nervous?

4 rbj   ~  May 27, 2017 12:34 pm

I'll take that

5 RIYank   ~  May 27, 2017 12:41 pm

Hi all.
Uh, hi rbj, I mean.

So we have one run on zero hits, huh?

6 RIYank   ~  May 27, 2017 12:44 pm

Wow.

7 thelarmis   ~  May 27, 2017 12:45 pm

Wow! What a friggin canon.

8 RIYank   ~  May 27, 2017 12:45 pm

Damn. Five strikeouts in two innings, and the other out a CS.

9 rbj   ~  May 27, 2017 12:46 pm

Dayum

10 rbj   ~  May 27, 2017 12:47 pm

[5] Crazy, ain't it

11 thelarmis   ~  May 27, 2017 12:59 pm

Sabs with another strike em out and now at a manageable pitch count.

12 RIYank   ~  May 27, 2017 1:01 pm

Remember his first couple games this season? I was pretty sure CC was cooked, that he would have to retire before the end of the season. But he's Pettittized his game nicely.

13 thelarmis   ~  May 27, 2017 1:02 pm

Jim Bunning passed away.

14 RIYank   ~  May 27, 2017 1:09 pm

I will accept it if Cotton no-hits us and we win.

15 rbj   ~  May 27, 2017 1:12 pm

Wasn't it Ron Davis who no hit a team and lost 4-0?

16 51cq24   ~  May 27, 2017 1:12 pm

[12] alternatively, calls into question tanaka's success yesterday. but let's hope not.

17 thelarmis   ~  May 27, 2017 1:13 pm

52 pitches for 52. 4 scoreless.

How bout a hit, fellas?

18 thelarmis   ~  May 27, 2017 1:14 pm

Andy Hawkins?

19 rbj   ~  May 27, 2017 1:17 pm

[18] Sounds right

20 RIYank   ~  May 27, 2017 1:22 pm

Man, when Michael and Paulie get going, sometimes they're just cringeworthy clueless.

21 thelarmis   ~  May 27, 2017 1:26 pm

Nice hook, cc

22 thelarmis   ~  May 27, 2017 1:26 pm

Yeah, I was just thinkin how Michael and Paulie are pretty terrible in the booth.

23 51cq24   ~  May 27, 2017 1:26 pm

[20] "and no one ever talks about it" (i alone have noticed an increase in strikeouts/we should figure out what the hell is going on)

24 thelarmis   ~  May 27, 2017 1:32 pm

Alright, how bout one of them hit thingies.

25 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 27, 2017 1:32 pm

Have one on me and today, gang. I hit Mo and Jackie's jersey # today. Ugh. I will watch the end of this game and then head out to see the AAA Red Wings tonight. Go Yankees!

26 rbj   ~  May 27, 2017 1:36 pm

[25] Have a happy one. That one is way in the rear view mirror for me.

27 RIYank   ~  May 27, 2017 1:37 pm

[25] Happy Jackie Robinson Day, Ara! Hope your day is better than just fair...

28 RIYank   ~  May 27, 2017 1:37 pm

[26] Race you to Aaron Judge, rbj.

29 thelarmis   ~  May 27, 2017 1:42 pm

Still...no fucking hits!! : /

30 rbj   ~  May 27, 2017 1:43 pm

[28] Only 47 more to go. Parents are still active in their mid 80s, so it might be possible.

31 thelarmis   ~  May 27, 2017 1:43 pm

Happy Mo Day, Just Fair!

32 rbj   ~  May 27, 2017 1:51 pm

Shit

33 thelarmis   ~  May 27, 2017 1:52 pm

As soon as Paulie said "one pitch could change this game," it was obvious they'd score. Fuck.

34 thelarmis   ~  May 27, 2017 1:53 pm

Haha!! Sweet.

35 RIYank   ~  May 27, 2017 1:53 pm

Now it will be harder to get the no-hit W.

36 rbj   ~  May 27, 2017 1:53 pm

Ah, the old 4-9 put out.

37 RIYank   ~  May 27, 2017 1:54 pm

[30] I'll beat you. If I make it at all, I mean...

38 thelarmis   ~  May 27, 2017 1:59 pm

Crush one, Gary

39 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 27, 2017 2:02 pm

Holiday!

40 rbj   ~  May 27, 2017 2:02 pm

Or you, Matt!

41 thelarmis   ~  May 27, 2017 2:03 pm

Fucking beautiful! Thank you, Matt!!

42 RIYank   ~  May 27, 2017 2:03 pm

Ahhhhhhhhhh.
Man, that is a relief.

43 thelarmis   ~  May 27, 2017 2:04 pm

Back to back hit thingies!!

44 thelarmis   ~  May 27, 2017 2:04 pm

Cotton balled.

45 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 27, 2017 2:06 pm

Thanks, all. Here comes the The Judge.

46 rbj   ~  May 27, 2017 2:13 pm

Crap

47 rbj   ~  May 27, 2017 2:22 pm

Good outing for CC

48 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 27, 2017 2:22 pm

C.mon, meat! One more out.

49 rbj   ~  May 27, 2017 2:26 pm

Yes!

50 thelarmis   ~  May 27, 2017 2:26 pm

Whew!

51 rbj   ~  May 27, 2017 2:43 pm

I'll take a two run single here.

52 thelarmis   ~  May 27, 2017 2:50 pm

Clippard better not fucking blow this. I'd keep Warren in to start the 8th, but the binder says he's not the 8th inning guy. : /

53 thelarmis   ~  May 27, 2017 2:59 pm

Motherfucker. I knew Warren should've started the inning...

Here's Dellin for a 5-out save.

54 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 27, 2017 2:59 pm

Tyler should wear a gasoline can on his left hand.

55 rbj   ~  May 27, 2017 2:59 pm

Ruh roh

56 rbj   ~  May 27, 2017 3:03 pm

Keep pissing of the ump, A's

57 thelarmis   ~  May 27, 2017 3:03 pm

Dellin! That was certainly a strike. We got lucky on the Lowrie calls...

58 RIYank   ~  May 27, 2017 3:03 pm

Dellin to the rescue.

59 thelarmis   ~  May 27, 2017 3:05 pm

Dellin!!

60 rbj   ~  May 27, 2017 3:05 pm

Pheeeew!

61 thelarmis   ~  May 27, 2017 3:11 pm

Bullshit, Blue. That was low and outside.

62 thelarmis   ~  May 27, 2017 3:19 pm

One down

63 rbj   ~  May 27, 2017 3:19 pm

One down

64 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 27, 2017 3:19 pm

Yikes. That looked scary.

65 thelarmis   ~  May 27, 2017 3:20 pm

102 mph

66 thelarmis   ~  May 27, 2017 3:21 pm

Two down

68 thelarmis   ~  May 27, 2017 3:24 pm

WAHOO!!!

69 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 27, 2017 3:24 pm

Word to Big Word. Cheers, y'all.

70 rbj   ~  May 27, 2017 3:24 pm

Three down!

71 RIYank   ~  May 27, 2017 3:24 pm

Beauty.

72 RIYank   ~  May 27, 2017 3:25 pm

Got two-hit, won 3-2.
I ACCEPT.

73 rbj   ~  May 27, 2017 5:41 pm

RIP, Greg Allman.

74 RIYank   ~  May 27, 2017 7:04 pm

Oh, man, yeah. Greg Allman. Damn.

75 Boatzilla   ~  May 27, 2017 10:22 pm

[74] He gave us so much. Soul stirring legacy. Amazing body of work for someone who died before 70. (For some reason I am reminded of Jackie Gleason who lived, hard worked hard and died at 70.) Couldn't ask for more.

76 Boatzilla   ~  May 27, 2017 10:34 pm

CC! CC! We may need Tanaka to be the ace if we are going to make a run this year, but CC has long been the heart and soul of this team, especially in Jeter's decline.* As CC goes so go the Yankees. As long as he keeps this up we have a chance.

*(I am not overlooking Mo, but if you can get to the closer...)

If we make it to the playoffs and need to win a game, I want CC on the mound. He's a winner.

Whaddaya tink?
