Yanks play upstart/spoilers to the hang-on-sloppy O’s.

Hot, very hot in the Bronx.

Never mind the stickiness:

Let’s Go Yank-ees!

1 RIYank   ~  Aug 26, 2016 6:23 pm

Just in time for a Teix message!

2 RIYank   ~  Aug 26, 2016 6:24 pm

Wow, he freaking killed that one. Bleachers over the bullpen. Needed that one, too -- both Mark and the Yanks.

3 RIYank   ~  Aug 26, 2016 6:37 pm

Oh, nice job, getting out of the jam!

4 RIYank   ~  Aug 26, 2016 6:47 pm

Gotta score here. (Bases loaded, one out in the second.)

5 RIYank   ~  Aug 26, 2016 6:47 pm

Hey!
That's how you're supposed to do it!
Brett singles up the middle and we plate two runs!

6 RIYank   ~  Aug 26, 2016 6:51 pm

Boy, this is fun -- another runner scores from second on a single.

I mean, not that I have anything against home runs, Mark, that was also good.

7 RIYank   ~  Aug 26, 2016 6:55 pm

Goddam. The Sheriff rides again: two-run double.

This might be my favorite game of the season. Too bad I don't have any company :-(

8 RIYank   ~  Aug 26, 2016 7:00 pm

Yay, Mark!

9 thelarmis   ~  Aug 26, 2016 7:00 pm

this is awesome! i'm just tuning in though; been following on my phone. think i'm gonna watch this inning over.

Tex!

10 RIYank   ~  Aug 26, 2016 7:00 pm

Our last seven batters have reached base.

11 thelarmis   ~  Aug 26, 2016 7:00 pm

[7] Hi, RI : )

12 RIYank   ~  Aug 26, 2016 7:01 pm

Oh, good, thelarmis!
Let's see double digits, and some interesting records for Gary Sanchez. (In one game!)

This is ridiculous. Eight straight batters have reached!

13 thelarmis   ~  Aug 26, 2016 7:04 pm

wow. this is fun!

of course it goes without saying, but...i want double digits!!

14 thelarmis   ~  Aug 26, 2016 7:05 pm

boo!

15 RIYank   ~  Aug 26, 2016 7:05 pm

See! It is fun!

Let's see if Aaron can bang down the gavel and begin his legend.

16 RIYank   ~  Aug 26, 2016 7:07 pm

Humph. Well, hard to complain. Although double-digits in the second inning would have been quite acceptable.

17 thelarmis   ~  Aug 26, 2016 7:07 pm

crap.

18 thelarmis   ~  Aug 26, 2016 7:07 pm

i want a quick, shutdown inning from cessa.

19 thelarmis   ~  Aug 26, 2016 7:12 pm

that's what i'm talkin' about!

20 RIYank   ~  Aug 26, 2016 7:15 pm

[18] Like that.

21 thelarmis   ~  Aug 26, 2016 7:15 pm

hit parade!

22 RIYank   ~  Aug 26, 2016 7:16 pm

Brett rains on the parade.

23 RIYank   ~  Aug 26, 2016 7:16 pm

I guess Gardners like rain.

24 thelarmis   ~  Aug 26, 2016 7:18 pm

RI - i'm taking my bride for dinner and drinks. i'll check in from my phone in a little bit. don't think they'll be able to turn the game on at the tavern. shit sox are on mlb and the braves don't play 'til 10:15. so, i guess i'll have to converse with my wife ; )

25 RIYank   ~  Aug 26, 2016 7:22 pm

Okay.
The Red Sox game is kind of fun, too!

26 RIYank   ~  Aug 26, 2016 7:23 pm

The Judge throws another runner in jail!

Oh, hm, maybe not. I think Didi missed him.

27 RIYank   ~  Aug 26, 2016 7:25 pm

I accept the outfield assist! (But they blew the call, he was safe.)

28 RIYank   ~  Aug 26, 2016 7:37 pm

Chase banks a couple of runs!

And that's double-digits. I believe thelarmis just felt a warm breeze waft past his ears.

29 thelarmis   ~  Aug 26, 2016 7:37 pm

Double Digits!!

Chase made up for that first pitch foul out

30 RIYank   ~  Aug 26, 2016 7:50 pm

Oh my god.

He's unreal.

31 thelarmis   ~  Aug 26, 2016 7:54 pm

Oh my god, he did it again!! Just saw the highlight. Just...wow!

Did he get a curtain call? He should!

Dozen. I want a bakers dozen ; )

32 RIYank   ~  Aug 26, 2016 7:56 pm

[30] [31] Gary is oh our god. Gary יהוה Sanchez.

No curtain call, but CC broke up laughing, in disbelief.

33 seamus   ~  Aug 26, 2016 8:10 pm

Pretty sweet eh! I've been watching, just offline. I like this Cessa kid. Sanchez is ok too.

34 seamus   ~  Aug 26, 2016 8:13 pm

Tonight seems like a good opportunity to let Heller get his feet wet btw. I hope Joe doesn't let him sit out there and do nothing.

35 seamus   ~  Aug 26, 2016 8:23 pm

The judge! He needed a hit.

36 seamus   ~  Aug 26, 2016 8:23 pm

And Heller is warming up btw! MLB debut coming up!

37 seamus   ~  Aug 26, 2016 8:25 pm

How yah! Torreyes!

38 RIYank   ~  Aug 26, 2016 8:26 pm

There's yer baker's dozen, thelarmis, on back-to-back doubles.

39 thelarmis   ~  Aug 26, 2016 8:26 pm

Bakers Dozen!!

Love the Evreet, RI : )

40 seamus   ~  Aug 26, 2016 8:27 pm

And one more! If nothing else this is fun.

41 RIYank   ~  Aug 26, 2016 8:27 pm

Two touchdowns.

42 thelarmis   ~  Aug 26, 2016 8:30 pm

Touchdown!!!

43 thelarmis   ~  Aug 26, 2016 8:31 pm

I think I need to watch this game on Roku later.

44 seamus   ~  Aug 26, 2016 8:32 pm

I do like the football score with the football season coming up. First game in college bowl is happening tonight.

45 thelarmis   ~  Aug 26, 2016 8:39 pm

Cain just went deep to center at the fens!!!

46 RIYank   ~  Aug 26, 2016 8:41 pm

He'll do.
Maybe let him try another inning?

47 RIYank   ~  Aug 26, 2016 8:42 pm

[45] Yeah, it's a good night for the Blue Jays, huh?

48 seamus   ~  Aug 26, 2016 8:42 pm

[46] I have high hopes. I mean, our middle pen is brutally bad so plenty of room for him.

49 RIYank   ~  Aug 26, 2016 8:47 pm

That was not a good look for Machado.

50 RIYank   ~  Aug 26, 2016 8:50 pm

Interesting point by Michael, about how Austin Romine is suffering for Sanchez' success.

Any chance we trade Romine? I bet he'd get a very good price.

51 thelarmis   ~  Aug 26, 2016 8:51 pm

Let's keep the +11 run diff.

52 RIYank   ~  Aug 26, 2016 8:55 pm

We aren't going to have the biggest score in the AL East tonight. The Jays have 15. Two-point conversion, I guess.

53 thelarmis   ~  Aug 26, 2016 8:59 pm

Don't give up any more runs!!

54 RIYank   ~  Aug 26, 2016 9:01 pm

Well, that was fun. Let's do it again tomorrow!

55 rbj   ~  Aug 26, 2016 9:11 pm

Looks like I picked the wrong day to go to a Mud Hens game, though they won too.

56 thelarmis   ~  Aug 26, 2016 9:14 pm

When jacoby had a big hit early in the game, I was getting off an exit on the highway. The car in front of me had RBJ as the second part of their license plate!

57 RIYank   ~  Aug 26, 2016 9:16 pm

[56] It was probably just a coincidence.

58 thelarmis   ~  Aug 26, 2016 9:16 pm

Of course, the shit sox are threatening in the bottom of the 9th at the fens. God, do I fucking *loathe* that team and ballpark and fanbase.

59 thelarmis   ~  Aug 26, 2016 9:17 pm

It was an out of state license plate (them call them "tags" down here), so I'm not so sure.

60 thelarmis   ~  Aug 26, 2016 9:20 pm

that is a BEAUTIFUL double play against the Fat Fucking Liar!!! retire already, Big Babi.

61 thelarmis   ~  Aug 26, 2016 9:22 pm

yup, they scored a run.

i can't stand Markus. great, a 5-hit game for him. how come he isn't in the hall of fame yet, along with bendintendi(n)?

62 thelarmis   ~  Aug 26, 2016 9:23 pm

come on, KC. win the game already. god fucking damn it.

63 thelarmis   ~  Aug 26, 2016 9:25 pm

game ovah!!!

64 RIYank   ~  Aug 26, 2016 9:28 pm

[61] Ben Nintendo is hurt.
I like seeing Betts go 5-for-5 in a losing effort. It's a nice sense of futility.

65 RIYank   ~  Aug 26, 2016 9:28 pm

He's a futility outfielder!

66 thelarmis   ~  Aug 26, 2016 9:31 pm

we're 5 games over for the first time this season.

cessa is 4-0.

3.5 games out of the second WC.

67 thelarmis   ~  Aug 26, 2016 9:31 pm

[64] i know, that's why i said it. i mean, he played in a handful of games and is no on the DL. but he's a shit sock, so he should be in cooperstown by now!

68 thelarmis   ~  Aug 26, 2016 9:51 pm

Column A blew it vs. the Stros. sucks.

69 thelarmis   ~  Aug 26, 2016 9:57 pm

Sanchize now has 1 more double and 1 more homer than A-Rod had this season. Amazing!

70 Boatzilla   ~  Aug 27, 2016 2:18 am

[69] That's what I've been telling you guys all year. We've got to get rid of A-Rod. ;>) hoot!

Actually, since all the A-Rod drama stopped, this team has been a lot more fun to watch. Of course having Super Sanchez in the line-up is a huge part of it, but it just seems like the team overall is lighter now. Fresher. More fun. Funky fresh.

71 rbj   ~  Aug 27, 2016 12:14 pm

Boo, he went

72 rbj   ~  Aug 27, 2016 12:16 pm

Uh oh, very not good

73 rbj   ~  Aug 27, 2016 12:21 pm

Phew

74 thelarmis   ~  Aug 27, 2016 12:28 pm

another good AB by Young Gary!

75 thelarmis   ~  Aug 27, 2016 12:30 pm

good on you, Tex!

1-0

let's add some more...

76 rbj   ~  Aug 27, 2016 12:30 pm

Yay, Mark!

77 thelarmis   ~  Aug 27, 2016 12:32 pm

dammit, didi.

78 thelarmis   ~  Aug 27, 2016 12:33 pm

c'mon, castro!

79 rbj   ~  Aug 27, 2016 12:34 pm

Dammit, wanted more

80 thelarmis   ~  Aug 27, 2016 12:35 pm

crap

81 Dimelo   ~  Aug 27, 2016 12:40 pm

I love how doubles in the left-center gap always look at Yankees stadium - though, I don't appreciate them as much when the other team does it.

82 thelarmis   ~  Aug 27, 2016 12:42 pm

nice k, green.

ok, one more!

83 thelarmis   ~  Aug 27, 2016 12:43 pm

good work, chad!

84 rbj   ~  Aug 27, 2016 12:59 pm

Crap

85 thelarmis   ~  Aug 27, 2016 12:59 pm

BOO!!!

86 RIYank   ~  Aug 27, 2016 12:59 pm

Crashed.

87 Dimelo   ~  Aug 27, 2016 1:00 pm

That's some power.

88 RIYank   ~  Aug 27, 2016 1:02 pm

Come on, Chad, man up now.

89 RIYank   ~  Aug 27, 2016 1:05 pm

Okay, let's get those two back.

90 thelarmis   ~  Aug 27, 2016 1:06 pm

He did NOT go!

91 thelarmis   ~  Aug 27, 2016 1:07 pm

Ok, maybe he *slightly* went...

92 thelarmis   ~  Aug 27, 2016 1:10 pm

Nice. Let's make them pay!

93 RIYank   ~  Aug 27, 2016 1:12 pm

Starlin!

94 thelarmis   ~  Aug 27, 2016 1:12 pm

There ya go!

95 RIYank   ~  Aug 27, 2016 1:12 pm

Let's see if you can keep your job, Brian.

96 RIYank   ~  Aug 27, 2016 1:13 pm

Oh, god. Plays.

I fucking hate plays.

97 thelarmis   ~  Aug 27, 2016 1:14 pm

Crap!

98 rbj   ~  Aug 27, 2016 1:14 pm

Looks safe

99 RIYank   ~  Aug 27, 2016 1:15 pm

Could go either way.

100 thelarmis   ~  Aug 27, 2016 1:16 pm

Brian was about to go yard for Grandma.

I'm surprised GI Joe was that aggressive there...

101 thelarmis   ~  Aug 27, 2016 1:16 pm

YEAH!!!

102 RIYank   ~  Aug 27, 2016 1:16 pm

Well I'll be damned.

I still hate plays. But, nice play.

103 thelarmis   ~  Aug 27, 2016 1:18 pm

Be-yoooo-tiful!

104 RIYank   ~  Aug 27, 2016 1:18 pm

That's my kind of play!
And Brian's job might be safe...

105 rbj   ~  Aug 27, 2016 1:18 pm

Got them back!

106 thelarmis   ~  Aug 27, 2016 1:19 pm

All with two outs!!

107 Dimelo   ~  Aug 27, 2016 1:19 pm

this team has some moxie!!!!

108 thelarmis   ~  Aug 27, 2016 1:20 pm

What?! Ball 4...

109 thelarmis   ~  Aug 27, 2016 1:21 pm

There's ball 4. Lotsa pitches for Bundy this far.

110 thelarmis   ~  Aug 27, 2016 1:22 pm

I'm watching on MLB network and it's the Ball Tumor announcers. Is that Jim "BVD" Palmer with Gary Thorne?

111 thelarmis   ~  Aug 27, 2016 1:24 pm

Lotsa empty seats at the stadium.

I think I'm going to see the Muts at The Ted two weeks from today...

112 rbj   ~  Aug 27, 2016 1:25 pm

[110] yup

113 thelarmis   ~  Aug 27, 2016 1:26 pm

Good effort by Ronald; glad he didn't throw it away...

114 thelarmis   ~  Aug 27, 2016 1:27 pm

[112] they're not that bad.

115 thelarmis   ~  Aug 27, 2016 1:29 pm

Go Go Gary!!!

This kid is unreal.

116 rbj   ~  Aug 27, 2016 1:29 pm

Sheriff makes another arrest

117 thelarmis   ~  Aug 27, 2016 1:32 pm

Big Babi calling out BVD earlier this season was ridiculous. I can't wait for that Fat Fuck to retire...

118 thelarmis   ~  Aug 27, 2016 1:33 pm

huh. I purposely spelled fuck without the 'c' and it's awaiting moderation. i guess word press doesn't like misspelled curse words.

119 thelarmis   ~  Aug 27, 2016 1:35 pm

HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!

wow...

120 thelarmis   ~  Aug 27, 2016 1:36 pm

Curtain call - deserved.

121 Dimelo   ~  Aug 27, 2016 1:37 pm

this is just unreal.

I guess these guys can hit too.

126 rbj   ~  Aug 27, 2016 1:44 pm

Back to back two run dingers

133 thelarmis   ~  Aug 27, 2016 2:02 pm

Of course, I want double digits now!!

Two 2-run jobs with no outs...

134 thelarmis   ~  Aug 27, 2016 2:04 pm

Outside, blue

156 thelarmis   ~  Aug 27, 2016 2:38 pm

i really want a positive run differential.

grand slam here and we'll be at even!

157 thelarmis   ~  Aug 27, 2016 2:39 pm

bollocks, blue.

158 rbj   ~  Aug 27, 2016 2:39 pm

Boo, blue

159 RIYank   ~  Aug 27, 2016 2:40 pm

Oh, man, I missed a sh-*load of runs! Damn.

160 thelarmis   ~  Aug 27, 2016 2:42 pm

[161] it's true.

161 thelarmis   ~  Aug 27, 2016 2:48 pm

espn scoreboard has a picture of warren in a cubs hat. really? : /

was that a "gary sanchez" chant in the middle of the defensive frame?!

162 thelarmis   ~  Aug 27, 2016 2:57 pm

4 hits for starlin.

163 thelarmis   ~  Aug 27, 2016 3:03 pm

bases juiced again. i think judge is pinch hitting for gritner. pitching change. two outs.

grand slam would give us sweet sixteen and an even run diff. do it!

164 thelarmis   ~  Aug 27, 2016 3:04 pm

wow, the blow jays came all the way back and then some.

they're winning 8-7. twinks are impossibly bad...

165 thelarmis   ~  Aug 27, 2016 3:06 pm

judge looked baaaaaad.

166 rbj   ~  Aug 27, 2016 3:06 pm

Rats

167 thelarmis   ~  Aug 27, 2016 3:17 pm

Heller for the 9th, or not two days in a row?

RI - He's gotta be a tribesmember, no?!

168 thelarmis   ~  Aug 27, 2016 3:23 pm

lettuce hit for sanchize. single to right.

austin in for tex. austin in tex. i've played there. cool city.

orioles defense really bad these two games!

169 thelarmis   ~  Aug 27, 2016 3:23 pm

baker's dozen!!!

170 rbj   ~  Aug 27, 2016 3:34 pm

One down

171 rbj   ~  Aug 27, 2016 3:36 pm

Two down

172 rbj   ~  Aug 27, 2016 3:38 pm

Three down.

What a couple of fun days.

173 RIYank   ~  Aug 27, 2016 3:52 pm

thelarmis, your numbering is messed up because of your "in moderation" comments. But anyway, I don't think Heller is a tribesman, despite his judische namen. He went to some Nazarene college, which is not a very Hebrew thing to do. (Although, I suppose the world's most famous Nazarene was indeed Jewish, so who knows?)

174 thelarmis   ~  Aug 27, 2016 4:01 pm

frickin' yates. of course, he gave up a run in the 9th. i hate that.

+18 run diff these two games. -4 for the season. i really wanna sweep tomorrow and reach the positive run diff level.
