The heat is back. It’s humid and hazy in the Bronx. Thunderstorms this afternoon.

Never mind the sunblock:

7 rbj   ~  Sep 3, 2011 2:04 pm

8 thelarmis   ~  Sep 3, 2011 2:16 pm

9 thelarmis   ~  Sep 3, 2011 2:18 pm

10 thelarmis   ~  Sep 3, 2011 2:22 pm

11 thelarmis   ~  Sep 3, 2011 2:31 pm

12 thelarmis   ~  Sep 3, 2011 2:39 pm

gritner with a leadoff single up the middle. he's been on base all 3 times today, 2 stolen bases.

grandy hasn't done anything...yet.

13 thelarmis   ~  Sep 3, 2011 2:41 pm

crap. still hasn't done anything today... (i'm not complaining about my boy curtis, btw!)

groundout to 2nd. brett erased on the basepaths...

14 thelarmis   ~  Sep 3, 2011 2:43 pm

shit. that woulda been a good time for a-rod to crush one.

ab starts off 3-0. then, the typical:

- strike looking
- foul
- strike swinging

fuck.

15 OldYanksFan   ~  Sep 3, 2011 2:44 pm

Jesus... Robbie hits some fearsome ropes... but gets nothing.

16 thelarmis   ~  Sep 3, 2011 2:58 pm

well, The 'Tolo did well. 2 solo jobs did him in...

6 innings, 99 pitches. 6K/1BB. 7 hits. 4 earnies.

another quick out...gonna buy ricky an extra inning...

we know the Hammer is available, but prolly not sori/Mo...

17 rbj   ~  Sep 3, 2011 3:02 pm

Congrats, Montero.

18 thelarmis   ~  Sep 3, 2011 3:05 pm

jesus with his 1st major league hit! a single to left.

19 rbj   ~  Sep 3, 2011 3:09 pm

Colon back out there. Ah, just for the righty. Decent job.

20 thelarmis   ~  Sep 3, 2011 3:13 pm

[19] huh. how 'bout that? pretty cool.

here's bogan...

21 thelarmis   ~  Sep 3, 2011 3:14 pm

please get this wise guy out!

22 thelarmis   ~  Sep 3, 2011 3:17 pm

nice!

now - score some goddamn motherfucking RUNS!!!

23 Just Fair   ~  Sep 3, 2011 3:17 pm

Att boy, Kid. Glad to see Jesus get that first one out of the way. Now it's time to put some runs on the board.

24 thelarmis   ~  Sep 3, 2011 3:23 pm

where'd it hit him?

also, COME ON A-ROD!!!

25 joe   ~  Sep 3, 2011 3:24 pm

What the fuck? They threw at his head last AB

26 Just Fair   ~  Sep 3, 2011 3:24 pm

66 to 39. Yanks on the losing end of hit batsmen. Fuck that noise.

27 thelarmis   ~  Sep 3, 2011 3:25 pm

another 3-0 for Alex.

don't fuck this one up!

28 joe   ~  Sep 3, 2011 3:26 pm

Hit him in the back, thelarmis

29 thelarmis   ~  Sep 3, 2011 3:26 pm

2-out rally due to wildness.

let's capitalize...

30 Just Fair   ~  Sep 3, 2011 3:27 pm

According to RAB the last time Arod batted 3rd the clean up hitter was Xavier Nady. Ha.

31 thelarmis   ~  Sep 3, 2011 3:27 pm

[28] ouchie!

at first, i read that as an order! i'm way to passive for that kinda behavior... : )

32 rbj   ~  Sep 3, 2011 3:29 pm

C'mon Robbie

33 thelarmis   ~  Sep 3, 2011 3:29 pm

well, romero's outta there.

we never get to see it, ('coz thankfully, it's the AL), but Romero, who throws lefty, bats righty. i hate when pitchers hit, but i always loved it when Mikey Moose would bat lefty! I miss Mussina...

34 RIYank   ~  Sep 3, 2011 3:29 pm

Hey yos.
My fucking house still has no power! Well, we got a generator from a friend, but, not as good.
So, just stopping by to say 'hi' and 'fuck everything' and 'just win'.

35 Just Fair   ~  Sep 3, 2011 3:32 pm

ROBBIE for President!

36 RIYank   ~  Sep 3, 2011 3:33 pm

Oh, Rob.
Rob, Rob, Rob.

Glad I stopped in!

37 rbj   ~  Sep 3, 2011 3:33 pm

Yes, Robbie Can - o

38 thelarmis   ~  Sep 3, 2011 3:33 pm

[34] holy motherfuck. that sucks, man!!! me sorry. very very sorry. : (

i was about to summons you here just a minute ago. you probably knew...

let there be light!!!

and let there be ROBBIE FUCKING CANO!!!

dontchya know!

39 thelarmis   ~  Sep 3, 2011 3:33 pm

[35] he's got my vote!

40 Just Fair   ~  Sep 3, 2011 3:35 pm

[34] Yeah, that definitely sucks. Hang tight.
Good on 'ya, Swish!

41 RIYank   ~  Sep 3, 2011 3:36 pm

[38] Oh, thanks. Hm, gimme a "let there be light" in the original Hebrew, that might work, huh?

Hey, Swishalicious! This suddenly turned into a great game.

42 Just Fair   ~  Sep 3, 2011 3:37 pm

Hey, Romero. That's a shame.

43 RIYank   ~  Sep 3, 2011 3:38 pm

Thanks guys.
I see the light at the end of the tunnel, so to speak -- the workers are actually on my road now, and the adjacent roads are back on line -- most of them. So, maybe tonight. And the one good part: getting entertained and taken care of by more fortunate friends.

44 rbj   ~  Sep 3, 2011 3:40 pm

[43] That's better news.

45 thelarmis   ~  Sep 3, 2011 3:42 pm

[43] oh, that light is actually just the front of an oncoming train.

46 thelarmis   ~  Sep 3, 2011 3:43 pm

hey, what did Swish do? all the game info on my computer froze up.

47 thelarmis   ~  Sep 3, 2011 3:44 pm

lohud had it...

rbi single for swish. robbie's 40th double, puts him over 100 rbi...

48 Bobtaco   ~  Sep 3, 2011 3:44 pm

Hammer Time... You can't touch this.

49 Just Fair   ~  Sep 3, 2011 3:46 pm

[48] When CC doesn't start, Robertson should wear his pants.

50 thelarmis   ~  Sep 3, 2011 3:46 pm

and...i'm back up 'n runnin'!

d-rob with a quick & clean inning.

our win ex is now at 94%

who pitches the 9th? i thought GI Joe said Sori/Mo not available.

over 12 hammers thrown in the 8th...but, neh.

51 thelarmis   ~  Sep 3, 2011 3:47 pm

jopo in for jesus.

52 Just Fair   ~  Sep 3, 2011 3:51 pm

[51] Throwing the old man a bone. I was hoping to see Jesus bat again.

53 thelarmis   ~  Sep 3, 2011 3:53 pm

*still* Hamma Time!

54 thelarmis   ~  Sep 3, 2011 3:54 pm

nailed!

55 Just Fair   ~  Sep 3, 2011 3:58 pm

Shite!

56 thelarmis   ~  Sep 3, 2011 4:01 pm

well, that sucks.

not only is there a man on 2nd, but that 8 pitch at-bat drove his pitch count up to 22.

he's definitely not available tomorrow. but, i guess sori/Mo are...

hopefully The Chief gives us 7 strong tomorrow!

57 thelarmis   ~  Sep 3, 2011 4:02 pm

another long ab...

58 thelarmis   ~  Sep 3, 2011 4:03 pm

good job, kid.

30 pitches. 1 more out...

59 thelarmis   ~  Sep 3, 2011 4:04 pm

HIGH SOCKS!!!

60 rbj   ~  Sep 3, 2011 4:04 pm

Yes!

61 Just Fair   ~  Sep 3, 2011 4:05 pm

Good win. Here's to you Mr. Robertson. The Moless bullpen turns its lonely eyes to you.

62 RIYank   ~  Sep 3, 2011 4:14 pm

My power came back on!
I'm sure this is because of D-Rob. Not quite sure how it worked.

63 rbj   ~  Sep 3, 2011 4:21 pm

[62] Good to hear. There are some things that are just inexplicable.

64 thelarmis   ~  Sep 3, 2011 4:21 pm

[62] congrats, my friend!

65 RIYank   ~  Sep 3, 2011 4:46 pm

ויהי אור.

66 thelarmis   ~  Sep 3, 2011 7:01 pm

[66] "let there be light"

mazel tov!

67 OldYanksFan   ~  Sep 3, 2011 7:07 pm

If you guys haven't seen Ben Revere's jumping over-the-shoulder catch, you MUST check it out.
http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=6924663&categoryid=2378529
This is simply one of the greatest catches I've even seen.
Near impossible.
