i like the royal blue shoes

 
Drew says:

At least we struck out swinging instead of looking..

Jamal G. says:

True, but the called strike 3’s to Matsui and Posada (especially) were questionable at best.

 
 
John says:

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.

Jamal G. says:

Yeah, I saw the leaked version – eh…

Sam says:

I heard there were a lot of issues with that version

Jamal G. says:

Nah, it was a good quality; it’s just that the CG scenes weren’t completed.

andrew says:

I haven’t seen it, but I feel like the CG should be a pretty big component in a movie like that, no?

 
 
 
 
 
dkidd says:

anyone know how long we get a free baseball package on time warner?

on RCN it’s 7 days.

dkidd says:

i’m enjoying listening to vin scully. no color man, just him alone in the booth. amazing

 
 
Drew says:
 
 
tarik says:

That just happened.

 
dkidd says:

watched some of the tigers game. hard to believe miguel cabrera is still only 25

 
John says:

what are the YES radar’s reading on Pettitte’s fastball…gameday had it at 79 the last two and a 87.4 average

Drew says:

lol gameday says 2 fastballs were 79 and a slider was 82. hmm..

 
Sam says:

YES’s gun has been garbage this year, they had Mo throwing 58 yesterday at one point

John says:
 
 
 
Drew says:
 

I figured out what Mike Jacobs is awesome at:

Having a goatee that smacks of douchebaggery.

LiveFromNewYork says:

the face of douchebaggery.

 
Sam says:

But it doesn’t have a website with an animation devoted to it!

 
 
 
pat says:

Lets add a few runs here boys so i feel completely comfortable with bruney/marte pitching the 8th.

You should already feel comfortable, pat.

 
 
Drew says:
 
Sam says:

Great job by Andy today

Andy In Sunny Daytona says:
Sam says:

You were amazing, great way to start the game threads off

Andy In Sunny Daytona says:

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.

 
 
 
 
 
Drew says:

Mets playing the Marlins tonight. I look forward to seeing the fish keep their ridiculous power going..

 
Drew says:

I know we want to walk. But come on..

 
Jamal G. says:

Is there anything more scintillating than seeing your second basemen with a .706 OBP?

Sam says:

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!

Andy In Sunny Daytona says:

Joba this inning, right?

 
Sam says:

Sabathia. He’d flourish as a setup man

Drew says:

True. His body type doesn’t warrant 33 starts.

 
 
 
 
John says:

anyone else shocked to see Cano flyout?

Steve O. says:

Eh, you win some, you lose some.

 
 

Holy crap Yankees stop striking out!

 
Matt says:

Another banner day for the Nick Swisher fan club. :) Steve H, where you at?!

Drew says:
VO says:

Is it just me or can watching Nady play put people to sleep.

 
 
Steve H says:

In my best Peter Griffin voice

Right here

 
 
dkidd says:

i still think veras is gonna end up being the 8th inning guy

 
LiveFromNewYork says:

The thin Brian Bruney looks like Jeff Gordon.

 
Drew says:
Sam says:

In your face, Kansas City Royals

 
 
Steve O. says:

Nady’s going to pinch hit for Ransom, then Pena is going to play the field.

Steve O. says:
 
 
Andy In Sunny Daytona says:

Bruney hasn’t looked this good since “Kindergarten Cop”.

 
 

Bullpen looks great so far.

 

ZOMG they need Joba in teh 8th inning otherwise they’ll blow teh leads!!1!!!

Sam says:

The Joba to the pen people will probably point out that they were playing the Royals today

 
 
dkidd says:

cole hamels got shelled today. was he on the verducci list?

Steve O. says:

I believe so. Along with Lester and IPK among others.

dkidd says:
 
 
Steve H says:

He belongs in the 8th anyway.

 
 
 
LiveFromNewYork says:

Thanks be to Mo for, um, Mo.

 
Drew says:
Drew says:
 
 

Hey look! Not a strike out!

(betcha Jeter GIDPs…)

 
Sam says:

Well there goes the double play

 
 
Andy In Sunny Daytona says:

Rusty Kuntz!!! My all-time favorite player.

 
pat says:
 
LiveFromNewYork says:
 
LiveFromNewYork says:

Gardner wanted no part of a GIDP so he threw himself on his sword.

 
John says:

Gardy’s such a team player, he saved Jeter the shame of a DP

 
Sam says:
 
 
Steve O. says:

Just curious, but does a pick off count as a caught stealing?

I don’t think so. Well maybe. I don’t know.

 
Steve O. says:

Thanks for clearing that up for me.

Steve O. says:

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.

(Comments wont nest below this level)
Steve O. says:

Eh it’s ok, we all have our moments.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Steve O. says:

That could have been Jeter’s second DP.

 
Drew says:

If Aviles and Jacobs didn’t miss those plays this would’ve been a longggggg game.

 
Steve O. says:

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.

 
 
Jamal G. says:

I giggled uncontrollably for, like, 2 minutes after reading this.

 
 

You’re confusing optimism with delusional.

 
 
Sam says:

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.

Drew says:

I hope he’s being sarcastic.

Sam says:

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.

 
 
 
LiveFromNewYork says:

Pete continues to take those stupid pills.

 
pat says:

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.

pat says:

I was just trying to be nice, to me it was pretty f*ckin obvious he was being sarcastic.

Drew says:

Right. This is the man that said we’re better without Alex. So how can you see this statement as obvious?

pat says:

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).

Drew says:

True. At this point though, I won’t put anything past him.

(Comments wont nest below this level)
pat says:

He’s normally a dipshit but he’s right about joba at least.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Jamal G. says:

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.

 
Drew says:

If Joba was back there it would be 9.1 perfect innings.

No, it would still be just 5.0 perfect innings.

 
 
 
 
Jamal G. says:

Kevin Gregg blows the save for the Cubbies; shocker!

Joey says:

you know my fantasy team is desperate for RP when I have Gregg on it :-(

 
 
Drew says:

It’s nice watching Tex make those plays so effortlessly

btour99 says:
 
 
Andy In Sunny Daytona says:

Will Mo be able to pitch Sunday? What time does he ascend into Heaven?

LiveFromNewYork says:

I’m pretty sure he can get it all in.

 
 
 
btour99 says:

Kevin Greg blows another save!!

Good thing Marmol isn’t closing…

 

I am not sure that ball could have been hit any more slowly…

 
Matt says:

How was that ruled a hit…?

 
Drew says:

That’s okay Robbie!

 
Sam says:

Start spreading the news…

btour99 says:

I’m leaving today…

 
 
LiveFromNewYork says:
 

Oooh, Mariano and Pettitte are real close to tying one of the DUMBEST RECORDS EVER.

Yippee!!!

Matt says:

Oh please. The save is as American as lamb and tuna fish.

 
 
 
btour99 says:

Cano just wanted to get Mo a save.

Sam says:

He would have had one anyway

 
 
Drew says:

I wonder if Mo saves all those baseballs he gets after a save.

 
Jamal G. says:

There’s no way Ryan Braun doesn’t win it for the Brew Crew here.

Drew says:

Good call. Let’s see.

 
 
Drew says:

I lol’d at Hill spiking the ball in a temper tantrum.

 
 
LiveFromNewYork says:

How is Nick Swisher getting away with all that facial hair?

Matt says:

Because he’s the fucking man, that’s how.

Steve H says:

When he has a bad day, then they’ll talk to him.

 
 
 
LiveFromNewYork says:

“One word” is a bit lost on Jorge.

 
 
Jamal G. says:

Ryan Theriot is an idiot.

Matt says:

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?

 
Drew says:

Here’s to hoping John Maine’s arm falls off. While typing, Hanley took him deep. :)

 
Jamal G. says:

Hanley Ramirez = WIN.

 
mustang says:

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

 
Drew says:
Alex S says:
Drew says:

It was one of the furthest I’ve seen in there.
