Just 6 days 'til pitchers and catchers report.Banner Design By
i like the royal blue shoes
At least we struck out swinging instead of looking..
True, but the called strike 3′s to Matsui and Posada (especially) were questionable at best.
i called that inning
Watching Kyle Farnsworth retire 3 Yankees in a row sucked almost as bad as that Wolverine movie is going to suck.
Yeah, I saw the leaked version – eh…
I heard there were a lot of issues with that version
Nah, it was a good quality; it’s just that the CG scenes weren’t completed.
I haven’t seen it, but I feel like the CG should be a pretty big component in a movie like that, no?
anyone know how long we get a free baseball package on time warner?
on RCN it’s 7 days.
i’m enjoying listening to vin scully. no color man, just him alone in the booth. amazing
through the 12th
That just happened.
watched some of the tigers game. hard to believe miguel cabrera is still only 25
what are the YES radar’s reading on Pettitte’s fastball…gameday had it at 79 the last two and a 87.4 average
lol gameday says 2 fastballs were 79 and a slider was 82. hmm..
YES’s gun has been garbage this year, they had Mo throwing 58 yesterday at one point
really? damn
Jete regulatin’
I figured out what Mike Jacobs is awesome at:
Having a goatee that smacks of douchebaggery.
the face of douchebaggery.
But it doesn’t have a website with an animation devoted to it!
Touché.
Youkilis >>>>>> Jacobs
Lets add a few runs here boys so i feel completely comfortable with bruney/marte pitching the 8th.
You should already feel comfortable, pat.
Bruney=boss
Great job by Andy today
Thanks man.
You were amazing, great way to start the game threads off
I just want to help the RAB. RAB has a real chance to win it all this year. We just have to take it, one comment at a time.
Your style is impetuous, your defense is impregnable and you’re just ferocious. You want his heart. You want to eat his children. Praise be to Allah.
Mets playing the Marlins tonight. I look forward to seeing the fish keep their ridiculous power going..
I know we want to walk. But come on..
Is there anything more scintillating than seeing your second basemen with a .706 OBP?
Considering that second baseman had around a .300 OBP last year: no
It’s like the best almost-birthday present ever!
Well, the good news is that if the Yankees don’t score again and KC doesn’t score more than two runs in the bottom of the inning, Mo can get save #1!
Joba this inning, right?
Something of the sort.
Sabathia. He’d flourish as a setup man
True. His body type doesn’t warrant 33 starts.
anyone else shocked to see Cano flyout?
Eh, you win some, you lose some.
Holy crap Yankees stop striking out!
Another banner day for the Nick Swisher fan club.
Steve H, where you at?!
Nady looks bored.
Is it just me or can watching Nady play put people to sleep.
In my best Peter Griffin voice
Right here
i still think veras is gonna end up being the 8th inning guy
The thin Brian Bruney looks like Jeff Gordon.
Game. Blouses.
In your face, Kansas City Royals
Nady’s going to pinch hit for Ransom, then Pena is going to play the field.
Prediction fail.
Bruney hasn’t looked this good since “Kindergarten Cop”.
IETC.
Agreed.
Bullpen looks great so far.
ZOMG they need Joba in teh 8th inning otherwise they’ll blow teh leads!!1!!!
The Joba to the pen people will probably point out that they were playing the Royals today
cole hamels got shelled today. was he on the verducci list?
I believe so. Along with Lester and IPK among others.
pelfrey?
He belongs in the 8th anyway.
lol. “like my family reunion, lots of K’s.”

Thanks be to Mo for, um, Mo.
Nice Gritner.
good one Gardner.
Hey look! Not a strike out!
(betcha Jeter GIDPs…)
Well, or that.
Well there goes the double play
Rusty Kuntz!!! My all-time favorite player.
dammit gardner.
Oh Brett.
Gardner wanted no part of a GIDP so he threw himself on his sword.
Gardy’s such a team player, he saved Jeter the shame of a DP
Enter Sandman
That was lame.
Just curious, but does a pick off count as a caught stealing?
I don’t think so. Well maybe. I don’t know.
Yes.
Scratch that, Wiki says no.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caught_stealing
Thanks for clearing that up for me.
http://www.google.com
It was a thanks Tommie!
And it would have more weight if you didn’t incorrectly answer my question the first time.
Yeah… I’m just an asshole, what can I say.
Eh it’s ok, we all have our moments.
http://www.google.com/
That could have been Jeter’s second DP.
If Aviles and Jacobs didn’t miss those plays this would’ve been a longggggg game.
Rebecca, for a so called “optimist” you’re not very optimistic.
She’s prime though. Oh, MAN, is she prime.
…I have no idea if this is a complement or not, but I’ll pretend it is.
Just the way I like it.
I giggled uncontrollably for, like, 2 minutes after reading this.
You’re confusing optimism with delusional.
Yay! We finally got the outside half of the plate!
From LoHud:
“UPDATE, 6:58 p.m.: Gee, wouldn’t it be better if Joba Chamberlain used his considerable skills to face Miguel Olivio, Alberto Callaspo and Coco Crisp in a three-run game instead of maybe throwing seven innings on Sunday?”
Nicely done, Pete.
I hope he’s being sarcastic.
I’m going to go out on a limb and say he was, even though I thought he was on the pro-bullpen side of the debate
He was never on that side, he’s been out front about wanting him to start consistently from the beginning.
Pete continues to take those stupid pills.
I do believe pete is being sarcastic.
Geez Louise.
This is just another example of how sarcasm doesn’t show up well online unless you go totally over the top with it.
I was just trying to be nice, to me it was pretty f*ckin obvious he was being sarcastic.
Right. This is the man that said we’re better without Alex. So how can you see this statement as obvious?
Well he absolutely hates arod so that part doesn’t surprise me. The wording of it us what sold me. He named three particularly unimpressive hitters, said it was a three run game, said how Joba has considerable skills and proposed a much more desirable outcome for his pitching (7 innings sunday).
True. At this point though, I won’t put anything past him.
He’s normally a dipshit but he’s right about joba at least.
If I’m not mistaken, that K of Aviles makes it 9.1 consecutive hit-less innings for the Yanks’ pen, and 5.0 perfect innings.
You are not mistaken.
If Joba was back there it would be 9.1 perfect innings.
No, it would still be just 5.0 perfect innings.
jinxed it =(
Kevin Gregg blows the save for the Cubbies; shocker!
you know my fantasy team is desperate for RP when I have Gregg on it
It’s nice watching Tex make those plays so effortlessly
Jinxed!!!
Will Mo be able to pitch Sunday? What time does he ascend into Heaven?
I’m pretty sure he can get it all in.
IETC
Kevin Greg blows another save!!
Good thing Marmol isn’t closing…
I am not sure that ball could have been hit any more slowly…
How was that ruled a hit…?
That’s okay Robbie!
Start spreading the news…
I’m leaving today…
Thank Mo!
Oooh, Mariano and Pettitte are real close to tying one of the DUMBEST RECORDS EVER.
Yippee!!!
Oh please. The save is as American as lamb and tuna fish.
Borscht and colaches.
Cano just wanted to get Mo a save.
He would have had one anyway
There’s no way Ryan Braun doesn’t win it for the Brew Crew here.
Good call. Let’s see.
…
I lol’d at Hill spiking the ball in a temper tantrum.
I wonder if Mo saves all those baseballs he gets after a save.
How is Nick Swisher getting away with all that facial hair?
Because he’s the fucking man, that’s how.
When he has a bad day, then they’ll talk to him.
“One word” is a bit lost on Jorge.
So is “urotherapy”.
Ryan Theriot is an idiot.
I just saw that. What an awful play.
Is it wrong of me to want to kick Flaherty in the nuts every time he opens his mouth?
Here’s to hoping John Maine’s arm falls off. While typing, Hanley took him deep.
Hanley Ramirez = WIN.
Good game by Mr. Andy “X factors don’t mean shit” Pettitte and the first small step to that nice warm crow meal.
One win down and 16 more to go.
sorry didn’t know we spillover
UGGLA!!!
he crushed that
It was one of the furthest I’ve seen in there.
