Aaron Hicks continues the greatest season of his career with a couple of homers on Friday night as the Yanks breezed to an 8-2 win over the visiting O’s. It was close for awhile and Jordan Montgomery was excellent again. My pal Glenn Stout is a pitching fanatic and he thinks Montgomery is a unique blend of Andy Pettite’s size and motion, Jimmy Key’s approach, and Dennis Rasmussen’s stiffness.
Good one.
More tonight with our guy, Luis Severino on the hill. I like him more than any Yankee starter right now.
Never mind the heat wave:
Let’s Go Yank-ees!

RIP Adam West
Ugh Fox game.
Judgement!
Gary plates two!
As does Didi!
Didi is Di-Nice.
That was fun
I approve of that bottom half.
Wow, I missed the action in the 1st!
Who are these awful broadcasters though??
John Smoltz and Matt Vergasan (SP?). Matt's better in studio
Tillman and Tanaka need to be MRI buddies
Starlin!
Next up, double digits
How Do ya like it, Buck?
Actually Smoltz, run diff is a good predictor of your record. Not perfect, but good
Holy Crooked Numbers, Batman!
Nope, out
Brett already 0 for 3 after three innings
Stop it Matt. Too early
Double digits! Even dozen
That was actually kind of funny. "Tater, Dinger & Jacks"
Saturday in the park...
I'm p.o.d that I can't watch this massacre. supposed to be on local O's station but they are showing the Mystics. MLB is blacked out here. So it's John and Susan on the radio. what a game I'm missing!
Ara: but it's not the 4th of July!
[22] not on Fox?
not here!
rbj... thanks! supposed to be on MSN just found Fox.
This is the best game since the Yanks crushed the sox a year or two ago. I think.
Tigers Sawx game is on main Fox channel here, but I guess Extree Innings gives me the other channel here.
You're welcome, just mute and keep the radio on
I can't link on my phone Garyfromchevychase. Its all about tonight's fireworks, :)
Boo, blue
I hope my MLB package on Roku will allow me to watch innings 1, 2, & 4!
[28] Yeah, the mute part is crucial.
Keep shutout intact
bye bye perfecto. The wife has cordially allowed me to watch until a hit... oops. I'll check back later. Hello to the Hallmark channel.
Aw.
0 for 45 with RISP
Inn tacked, even.
Go Sevy!
Boy, he's good.
I'm looking forward to at least a decade of Severino magic.
The Gritty One gets in on the hit parade!
It's starting to get a little nerving/nervous for the fans - Smoltz
Is Hicks going to still start when Jacoby comes back?
Oopsie!
That's fucking beautiful! Please show Buck's face!
The Baltimore A's, haha
Wait, Edwin Jackson is still in the majors???
Yes, Jazz, he is! G.I. Joe has essentially said so :)
That's a shame.
Hit the sleeve...
Judge hit, ball taken out of the game
I want a bakers dozen, then two touchdows.
Then...Thurman Munson!
Wow. MVP!!
[49] ask and ye shall receive
He's not a man he's a Machine.
Richard Todd - Zilch
Toe gets in.
Is RoTo batting for Castro? I hope Starlin's alright. I was hoping RoTo would take over for Headley...
Dammit. I wanted it Thurman-Zero
Can Sevvy get a Maddux?
Time for some chores and music, this game a wrap.
Should've let Castro bat for himself, so RoTo can take over for Didi. I hope he's alright...
Burning through the Os pen
Nah, put Ref in.
Oh yeah, Ref to the keystone and shift RoTo to short.
Like I said, should've taken Chase out. Feh.
Looks like Ref is going in for Gritner...
Damn. I don't care about the score - runners on 2nd & 3rd w/ no outs and you must plate at least one...
Rats. Yeah, take out Chase have him fined for going 0fer
Huh. I made a Richard Todd comment and now they're talking about the Jets. Maybe they read the Banter?!
Shutout no longer inn tacked...
Tiggers tied up the Shit Sox!
Darn it
89 pitches thru 7. Definitely send him out for teh eighth
So Layne gets it?
Yanks have 16 hits (thus far), 9 of which are for extra bases!
Howza bout Sevy for the 8th, Gio for the 9th?
Judge: 3 H, 3 R, 3 RBI, .333 Avg.
3 is the magic - and my favorite - number!
So what will the Cards give up to get Holiday back?
Looks like Sevy's night might be through...
It is Gio. For two frames, presumably.
1 pitch, 1 out.
Lettuce behind the dish, Sherrif at first. Has he played there before?
Carter in right.
I think Ref's at the keystone and RoTo's at the hot corner, but I'm not positive.
Gio then Layne, have the others back up German tomorrow
Not cool, Gio.
Let's keep it @ +12, thank you please
Fuck Layne. Gio was a starter, right? Let him throw two. Green is the long guy behind Domingo mañana.
Two TDs to a safety. Didn't know they put Mark Sanchez in and he gave up another butt fumble
8 more games and Country Joe should retire.
Fuck Cowboy Joe, fuck Fat Liar, and fuck FOX!
Whad I miss?
[Just kidding. I've been enjoying a pefect Sunday morning. Girls are out. Go my coffee. Muesli. Bronx Bombs and a peferct Sevy (for a while)].
Holy Substitutions, Batman! Carter in right.
It's Spring Training, everyone play out of position, then it's to Carvels for ice cream
Ouchie. Hit RoTo on top of his left hand.
Carvel RULES!!!
We actually have a store here in Atlanta!
Trading safeties!
WAHOO!!!
That was a *laser*! Go go, Gary!!
+14
Hot damn!
What the hell are you swinging at, Didi?
Yet another XBH!!
Did not know that thelarmist. Thought they were just an upstate NY ice cream shop. One in the Playtogs shopping area in Middletown NY, along with a Carol's burger fast food joint taken over by Booger King
18 hits, 5 BB, 1 HBP, 16 R
Holy Exit Velo! Only 115.1? Gary, you're shirking.
I believe there are a bunch in Florida, as well.
[91] Cookie Puss! (And Fudgey The Whale.)
I guess Layne is indeed coming in. Ugh. Better hold them at 2 runs...
Ref looks baaad.
Tommy Layne is in the pen . . .
Cue the Beatles
[103] "Tommy Layne, there is a pitcher throwing gopher balls..."
Layne with a leadoff walk. Ugh
[104] maybe thelarmis can flesh out the lyrics . . .
There's one
One down
Two ddown
Whilst on tour in the UK, I actually went to Penny Lane! It was just a block... Also went to a bunch of other Beatles related places. Good curry in Liverpool!
Two down..
Fuck you, tommy layne.
Dammit, a field goal
Yay! Beer consumption will now commence in earnest \m/
[110] Cool.
There's a Penny Lane in Tokyo, not far from my house. It's a shopping street (no vehicle traffic). Never sought an explanation for the name...it's home to one jazz club, and there must be a barber shop.
Love it. Cheers, y'all.
[110] I've got two double albums of the Beatles at the Cavern Club. Audio is poor, to be expected. It's the same albums, different covers, one is unopened. Original wrapping.
Cue Sinatra!
Night all, going to enjoy the wrap up and tomorrow's lead in
[116] Awesome. You mean the original one, of course. At first I thought you mean the Tokyo Cavern Club. Ha! (*J*)
Layne has been DFA!
Green is starting tomorrow, with German as the long man.
+104 on the season!
I was so relieved to see Layne was DFAd. I feel for the guy of course but he was a nightmare.
We're tied with Astros for best run differential now.
