Brand New Heavies

 

Don’t like these Blue Jays. Not one bit. Haven’t for a few years but now that they’ve got some talent and some hype, forget it. I dislike them so much I found myself rooting for the Red Sox when they played the Jays a few weeks ago.

The Red Sox.

Andy is back tonight as the Yanks are in Toronto for the weekend.

Dampened Spirits

Rain in the Bronx on a glum night.

Meanwhile, there’s a game to be played. Phil Hughes looks to pitch well…

Oh, Brother, These Guys Again

C.C. goes first. Be curious to see if the Yanks and O’s pick up where they left off last season. Man, they had some spirited games last year.

All Souped Up

Ivan Nova, take two. After winning the first couple of games in Cleveland it’d be a drag if the Yanks left with a split, so here’s hoping they win tonight or tomorrow.

Flame On

Welp, the Yanks need to beat Justin Verlander today in order to avoid being swept by the Tigers.

[Insert remark: here]

The good news is that they’ve got CC Sabathia on the hill. Be nice to see a decent start from someone other than Andy Pettitte, huh?

The Whirled Serious

Game One gives Justin Verlander’s filth vs. Barry Zito’s 85 mph cheeseburgers. Tigers should be hungry and they’ve got some big ol’ cheeseburger eating fat bastards on their squad. Wonder if the time off will hurt them like it did in 2006.

Diane has the preview.

Have at it you guys.

Let’s Go Base-ball.

They Might Be Giants

NLCS Game Seven. The home team has the momentum but I have a feeling that the Cards will break their hearts tonight.

Have at it, you guys.

Let’s Go Base-ball!
