Hey everybody - if you haven't read Joe Pos's piece on Yogi that Alex wrote about earlier, go do so now. Pay attention in particular to the last couple of sentences. It gave me a good laugh during a hellacious day, and I bet you'll laugh too.

[1] Are you sure you want to subject yourself to an AJ start after a "hellacious day"?

3 Shaun P.   ~  Jun 29, 2011 7:16 pm

[2] If I can survive what I've survived the last few days, and so far I have, even Bad AJ can't stop me.

I might punch a hole in my monitor before its over, though.

At least Morgan didn't steal 3rd. : /

5 Just Fair   ~  Jun 29, 2011 7:35 pm

I wear my sunglasses at night.

6 Just Fair   ~  Jun 29, 2011 7:37 pm

Awesome catch. Awesome double play!

7 randym77   ~  Jun 29, 2011 7:37 pm

Nice play. I heart defense.

8 Just Fair   ~  Jun 29, 2011 7:37 pm

Man, that was beautiful.

9 Just Fair   ~  Jun 29, 2011 7:49 pm

Tulowitski scored the winning run from first on a bloop single to centerfield last night. The CF had his heels on the warning track 410 feet away before the pitch. It was crazy.

10 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 29, 2011 8:18 pm

These two crack me up. I think Flash has taken a cue from O'Neill concerning antagonizing Kay.

11 kenboyer made me cry   ~  Jun 29, 2011 8:24 pm

A beautiful NY night. Tough to get excited by these games with the team from the city that Pabst made famous. But...Philly currently beating the Sox and Lackey, so it would be nice to extend the lead.

Philly is playoff scary.

12 Just Fair   ~  Jun 29, 2011 8:25 pm

3 double plays through 4. Not too shabby.

13 kenboyer made me cry   ~  Jun 29, 2011 8:25 pm

Who's driving the score truck?

14 Just Fair   ~  Jun 29, 2011 8:26 pm

Holy fuck did he hit the wall hard.

15 kenboyer made me cry   ~  Jun 29, 2011 8:27 pm

Maybe I'm a homer...but Curtis would have had that. Morgan appears to be seeing stars at the moment.

16 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 29, 2011 8:28 pm

Girardi said before the game that the one thing hitters have to do against this guy is not try to pull the ball. Let's see what happens...

17 randym77   ~  Jun 29, 2011 8:29 pm

[11] The Brewers are a good team this year. Leading their division. And the division is pretty good this year, too. Even the lowly Pirates won their series with the Bosox.

18 Just Fair   ~  Jun 29, 2011 8:29 pm

Beep-beep!

19 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 29, 2011 8:31 pm

And yes, he did hit that hall bard.

20 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 29, 2011 8:31 pm

Er, wall hard.

21 Just Fair   ~  Jun 29, 2011 8:34 pm

Roll on, Jorgie!

22 Marek   ~  Jun 29, 2011 8:35 pm

Love these long at-bats!

23 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 29, 2011 8:35 pm

[21] Hahah!

24 Just Fair   ~  Jun 29, 2011 8:37 pm

Hod damn. 3 run homer >sac fly even though it's a rally killer.

25 Marek   ~  Jun 29, 2011 8:37 pm

Way to justify my all-star ballot, Martin!

26 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Jun 29, 2011 8:46 pm

Coltrane tater!! Yippeee!

27 Chyll Will   ~  Jun 29, 2011 8:52 pm

So I take it AJ hasn't given back the lead just yet...

28 kenboyer made me cry   ~  Jun 29, 2011 8:52 pm

Arod a little owned tonight. Will the average stay above 300?

And R. Coltrane needed that. I think his back and the grind has wore him down. He will rebound. Tough mofo.

29 kenboyer made me cry   ~  Jun 29, 2011 8:57 pm

Lucroy-odd name.

30 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 29, 2011 8:57 pm

Just got home. Heard Sterling call the fourth. "Russell shows Muscle! Mr. Martin et la!" That fuggin guy actually said that shit. I was on the bus and started laughing.

31 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 29, 2011 8:57 pm

Damn, that was impressive!

32 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 29, 2011 8:58 pm

Oh, and from last year and that horseshit when he was with the Nats...fuck Morgan.

33 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 29, 2011 8:59 pm

[30] Hahahah! Hahah!

What are you gonna do?

34 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 29, 2011 8:59 pm

Uch.

35 kenboyer made me cry   ~  Jun 29, 2011 8:59 pm

AJ pitching to too much contact.

36 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 29, 2011 9:02 pm

Damn! Great play Alex. That's some throw.

37 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 29, 2011 9:02 pm

Fuck, that Alex Rodriguez can play the baseball.

38 kenboyer made me cry   ~  Jun 29, 2011 9:02 pm

Lackey pitching well, and doubled in the only and tying run for Boston.

39 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 29, 2011 9:03 pm

Me smellum grand slam

40 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 29, 2011 9:03 pm

Me happy to be wrung

41 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 29, 2011 9:03 pm

That Mark Teixeira is no slouch at the other corner, himself.

42 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 29, 2011 9:04 pm

Jeez, Hart took a vicious hack there.

43 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 29, 2011 9:05 pm

Dag, I thought Alex just lolipopped that into the outfield. Whew.

44 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 29, 2011 9:05 pm

That throw scared me, but it worked out.

Before the ball left his hand he just looked too casual about it.

45 kenboyer made me cry   ~  Jun 29, 2011 9:06 pm

[39] Tonto was wrong sometimes too.

46 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 29, 2011 9:06 pm

[43] I know, right? What was that?

47 kenboyer made me cry   ~  Jun 29, 2011 9:09 pm

Braun=Landsman

48 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 29, 2011 9:11 pm

Ohhh, Jorgie.

All I can do is crack up.

I don't even get mad anymore.

49 kenboyer made me cry   ~  Jun 29, 2011 9:11 pm

Oh Po...but that was a HR.

50 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 29, 2011 9:12 pm

That's a dinger. Hard catch for that dude, because it short hopped him. But you got to let it come to you, hit you in the chest and bounce down. Easier said than done when you have a line drive coming right at you.

51 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 29, 2011 9:13 pm

Mike thinks this is tough. Flaherty think it's easy. Flaherty knows baseball. Kay knows announcing. Easy call. Dinger.

52 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 29, 2011 9:13 pm

Sure looks like a HR.

53 cult of basebaal   ~  Jun 29, 2011 9:13 pm

Looks like a HR to me.

54 randym77   ~  Jun 29, 2011 9:14 pm

And they get the call right. Jorgie is redeemed.

55 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 29, 2011 9:14 pm

Good.

56 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 29, 2011 9:14 pm

That was funny.

57 Marek   ~  Jun 29, 2011 9:15 pm

Hip Hip!

58 cult of basebaal   ~  Jun 29, 2011 9:15 pm

C'mon Bodie, jack another!

59 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 29, 2011 9:25 pm

Heck of a nice job by AJ.

60 Just Fair   ~  Jun 29, 2011 9:26 pm

Good AJ.

61 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 29, 2011 9:36 pm

Ho Ho, Sox lose.

62 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 29, 2011 9:38 pm

Whoa, AJ stays in...he go batter to batter here?

63 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 29, 2011 9:39 pm

Man, everything about that looked knuts from Nunie.

64 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 29, 2011 9:40 pm

"We'll see how they score that???"

65 Just Fair   ~  Jun 29, 2011 9:40 pm

Decide what? E6. Friggin' Nunez!

66 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Jun 29, 2011 9:40 pm

[61] ONE run in 18 innings for the "best offense in baseball"!

67 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 29, 2011 9:43 pm

I fear Robbie is due for a bad outing.

68 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 29, 2011 9:45 pm

One out. Good job.

69 kenboyer made me cry   ~  Jun 29, 2011 9:46 pm

[67] Hopefully not tonight.

70 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 29, 2011 9:46 pm

Nasty 0-1 curve.

71 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 29, 2011 9:47 pm

Chedder. NICE.

72 Just Fair   ~  Jun 29, 2011 9:47 pm

[67] Bite your tongue!

73 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 29, 2011 9:49 pm

Smoke, then does Fielder a favor with at curve.

74 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 29, 2011 9:52 pm

Oh YEAH

75 Just Fair   ~  Jun 29, 2011 9:52 pm

Nasty!

76 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 29, 2011 10:05 pm

Ha!

I love that he swung at that 1-0!

77 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 29, 2011 10:05 pm

First two cutters look slower than on Sunday.

78 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 29, 2011 10:05 pm

Location, location, location. One out.

79 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 29, 2011 10:07 pm

Ohh, fuck, I wanted that 0-2!

80 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 29, 2011 10:08 pm

Backwards K.

:))

81 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 29, 2011 10:08 pm

Good Night, Sir. Two out.

82 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 29, 2011 10:08 pm

Betancourt has no chance.

83 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 29, 2011 10:09 pm

93mph.

I fucking fell asleep on the couch on Sunday around the fifth and missed Mo!

How hard was he throwing?

84 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 29, 2011 10:09 pm

Mariano Rivera, ladies and gentlemen.

85 Just Fair   ~  Jun 29, 2011 10:09 pm

All Rise.

86 cult of basebaal   ~  Jun 29, 2011 10:09 pm

All praise be to Mo.

87 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 29, 2011 10:10 pm

Outstanding.

88 Alex Belth   ~  Jun 29, 2011 10:11 pm

Mo Am Wunnerful. Night all.

89 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  Jun 29, 2011 10:12 pm

Kim!
He just asked you not to tell him!

90 Diane Firstman   ~  Jun 29, 2011 10:16 pm

Good grief .... Orgies Timer is back in pinstripes!

http://bit.ly/k2pQh0

91 Just Fair   ~  Jun 29, 2011 10:29 pm

[90] Lucky him. Oi!

92 monkeypants   ~  Jun 30, 2011 12:45 am

[90] Sometimes I can't stand this organization. Why do I have a feeling that Phil Hughes is now destined to be the EIGHTH INNING GUY™?
