Game 74: Down with the sickness
ByThere’s a nasty little bug going around the Yankee clubhouse, and after claiming Derek Jeter yesterday, Johnny Damon was picked off today. As long as this thing passes quickly and doesn’t wreak too much havoc, I guess it’s cool.
Old buddy Tim Redding, he of the one career inning in pinstripes, is on the mound for the Metsies. Signed for $2.25M in the offseason, Redding has allowed 59 baserunners in 40 innings this year, striking out just 24. Isn’t it amazing how a guy who’s allowed exactly one-and-a-half baserunners for every inning he’s thrown in his career manages to make a living in this game?
Short preview tonight, but whatever. Here’s the starting nine:
Gardner, CF
Swisher, RF
Teixeira, 1B
A-Rod, 3B
Cano, 2B
Posada, C
Melky, LF
Pena, SS
Burnett, SP

Fun fact about Tim Redding: We traded the broken husk of Paul Quantrill for him.
For him AND Darrell May. I guess that’s what you call a lose-lose-trade.
I remember I did that trade on MLB 05 that year, and for some reason, Darrell May threw a no-hitter the first game I had him pitch.
Oh, the irony.
This is a good lineup to crush a below average pitcher. No Jeter and Damon, but Gardner is the hot hand and I like Swish in the #2 spot. Posada is a major upgrade over Cervelli. AJ was fantastic against their depleted lineup last time. If AJ flourishes again, he’ll get all the credit. If he struggles, Posada will get all the blame and that’s just sad.
Guys, a word of advice, since there are quite a few of you younger than me and since game threads are, to my understanding, open threads…
Don’t go to grad school. Ever. There is no worse feeling in the world than having the burgeoning sense of summer freedom quashed by academia that doesn’t even have the grace to pay you for your slave labor.
Yeah, I’m that bitter.
Despite not doing summer school, i know the pain of grad school.
WOW – What a comment. Sorry to hear your experience was so poor. I loved Grad School (MBA- UCONN). And everyone on here is probably younger than I am – even you Rebecca.
yeah, i agree… i graduated, worked for two years, and then went back, and my school learning experience was much better the second time through… seemed like everyone in the class was focused and there for a real purpose because passing the class meant more money after you finish… and I was much less drunk.
I agree completely – Similar experience to mine.
I received my MA in Guidance in 1983 from Morehead State so that may qualify me as the oldest on here.
Brett Gardner is not from the Yankee Organization. It is not remotely possible. THE YANKEES DO NOT PRODUCE PROSPECT.
You’re right. He was pretty much a finished product when they got him from the College of Charleston. Just another example of the Yankees corructing baseball and trying to buy championships.
The Yankees had him in the Red Sox organization for 3 years to have some of their grit and determination rub off on him. Another way the Yankees take advantage of the rules.
That explains the baldness…
The Yankees also caused global warming by having Chris Britton drive from Scranton to the Bronx or vice versa every day.
Yankees = bad for America.
Plus they are keeping Christ himself in the Dominican Summer League.
Nah Jesus is in Trenton.
Melvin gave Jesus his skills.
The Holy Trinity: Mo, Melvin, Jesus
If only our almighty MO was gifted by the favor of Melvin.
And only because they don’t want to get his arbitration clock started, these greedy bastards!
I guess A-Rod never gets these illnesses because of the steroids, or at least that is what some beat bloggers would like us to believe.
HAHA
“Old buddy Tim Redding, he of the one career inning in pinstripes”
He wasn’t all bad. Tim Redding is sporting a career 18.00 K/9 in pinstripes. TAKE THAT, Cone, Gossage, Rivera, Clemens, Guidry…
Wasn’t Rivera’s K/9 rate last season like 22?
No, his K/9 was 11.4, but you were close: 22 was his K/17.37.
Last season Rivera’s K/9 was 9.81. I don’t know where you got 11.4 from.
You’re right, that’s this year’s K/9. I got the wrong line, sorry.
It’s all good. It’s interesting to see his K/9 up this year after the total dominance he displayed last year.
Mike, fix the lineup. It says both Gardner and Melky are starting in centerfield. Melky is starting in LF.
That would be the amalgam known a Gardbrera.
I dunno who’s calling this fox redsox game but he just said, “we’re trying to go inside.” I wonder who they’re rooting for…
hahahaha
How crappy, the red Sox win…. Braves suck, I hope the Braves miss the playoffs for the next 150 years
You don’t hold a grudge, do you?
Cano still batting 5th? The guy stranded 7 base runners last night. I guess they’ll keep pitching around ARod.
Where exactly do you suggest putting him?
i’m sure he’d have him batting 11th…
Behind Posada
So… behind another high obp guy? How would that solve anything?
Let Cano work through it.
Work through what? 3+ years of ineptness with RISP? Maybe ARod sees some pitches with Posada behind him.
You’re right, he’ll never get a big hit.. he should never hit behind Alex Rodriguez.
Why is it so ridiculous to think that Cano shouldn’t be batting 5th? People act like the alternatives are Argenis Reyes and Nick Evans.
It’s not ridiculous, but, the idea that he should be at 6 but not 5 makes little sense to me. One slot won’t make much of a difference.
By the same reasoning, it would make no difference to bat him cleanup. And that obviously is crazy.
I would bat him 7th behind Posada and Swisher. There is no reason to keep a guy in the middle of the lineup with these issues.
The theory that a lineup spot wouldn’t make a difference may be true. But that doesn’t mean that it’s smart to put him in a place in the lineup where he’s obviously going to be presented with a situation that gives him problems.
? Swisher is hitting 2 bro.
On days when Jeter and Damon are playing. It’s not like Cano batting 5th is only for today. Come on.
Well right, but two of our best hitters are out of the lineup, I’m talking about today. The dude was complaining about the lineup today.
But this isn’t nearly the 1st time that people have complained about Cano batting 5th.
We can just agree to disagree.
I second putting Posada behind Cano. I like Cano a lot, but, at this point, we can’t pretend that he doesn’t have issues with RISP, RISP w/2 outs and the bases loaded. I realize that not all of these are in “clutch” situations, but it’s kind of hard to argue that he doesn’t have issues in these situations.
Here are some numbers:
2009 Overall: .301/.334/.486
2009 RISP: .225/.260/.360
2009 Bases Loaded: .200/.231/.200
2009 RISP w/ 2 outs: .196/.250/.321
2008 Overall: .271/.305/.410
2008 RISP: .263/.294/.359
2008 Bases Loaded: .286/.292/.381
2008 RISP w/ 2 outs: .295/.313/.410
2007 Overall: .306/.353/.488
2007 RISP: .290/.333/.441
2007 Bases Loaded: .250/.278/.313
2007 RISP w/ 2 outs: .250/.310/.463
2006 Overall: .342/.365/.525
2006 RISP: .306/.335/.500
2006 Bases Loaded: .300/.318/.450
2006 RISP w/ 2 outs: .259/.302/.469
2005 Overall: .297/.320/.458
2005 RISP: .210/.241/.363
2005 Bases Loaded: .150/.143/.300
2005 RISP w/ 2 outs: .207/.233/.310
Obviously I meant Posada in front of Cano. My bad.
Thanks for the numbers – those were great. And Cano proved my point once again in the first.
lol, yeah, you’re point was proven. A rod was pitched around? The only point that you’ve made clear is that your somewhat impatient with young hitters.
I’ve never defended Cano’s struggles with RISP. Sliding him down one slot will do NOTHING though. Ask Rodriguez, the spot will always find you.
Robbie actually did better than I thought last year. This year, sss. If the guy can’t hit with people on base he shouldn’t be on the Yankees. He can, and will hit with men on base, give him time. No point in trying to hide him since it will never work.
It’s not a small sample size though when it is 2005-Present – that’s more than enough.
No point in moving him down? Hell, why not hit him 3rd or 4th? The point is that there are better alternatives. To not use them is foolish.
He wasn’t bad last year. You pointed out the stats yourself.
2008 Overall: .271/.305/.410
2008 RISP: .263/.294/.359
2008 Bases Loaded: .286/.292/.381
2008 RISP w/ 2 outs: .295/.313/.410
If that’s not bad, I don’t want to see bad. It must be in the uniform of Tony Womack.
295 with 2 outs risp? 285 with bases loaded? He only hit 271 for the season. So, he turned it up a notch in those situations. What do you want him to do, he obviously doesn’t walk a lot but if you don’t like that then you just don’t like Cano. He’s not going to walk much. That’s just how it is.
Please don’t tell me we’re going to cite batting average alone? Is a .670 OPS good? Not in any way.
I like Cano. But I like him a lot better when he’s not batting 5th.
And yes, walking is kind of important. It’s about scoring runs. Scoring runs requires people to get on base.
just for fun… batting 5th in the lineup this year, ops .810.
I don’t doubt it. I would love to see splits for him batting 5th in the situations discussed above.
And is that lofty .810 OPS better batting 5th than the OPS of Posada (.867) or Swisher (.863)?
Okay so bat Jorge 5th. Will that make Cano hit better when Jorge’s on base? Complaining about a batter hitting 5th rather than sixth on a day when we have our 1 and 2 hitters on the bench makes no sense to me. I guess that’s where we disagree.
It’s not just today. This isn’t the 1st time he’s batted 5th. That’s the bigger issue. Plus, on days when Jeter and Damon are playing, he could bat 7th. But it’s obvious that you have your theory and I have mine. There’s no point in belaboring it any further.
i am betting the yankees score 7 tonight and AJ gives up 2 and Ks 6
Can I rant for a second here?
I HATE it when people call Papelbon pap smear.
Pap smears save lives. No joke.
I don’t want Papelbon….well, you can figure it out.
Wow Redding already up to 60+ pitches…nice.
not too many yankees players have faced tim redding before, lets hope he doesnt fall into the category & yield the same results against us as ‘pitchers we havent seen before’
i bet grit gets on base his next AB
Swisher is the Walking Man.
Tex been looking a little crappy at the plate of late.
0 for his last 9 before today
nice job swisha
Evening ladies and gents, saw transformers last night. Granted I was drunk but I enjoyed it. Obviously it was a bit corny at times and some things didn’t make sense but the action was pretty sweet and the cgi was awesome. It was pretty much the quintessential summer flick.
Nice, tex started 0-2 that at bat.
Time for Al to do his thang.
dang.. just missed that one.
Oof, he just got under that.
good eye tex
I guess Redding is walking these guys to get to Burnett.
A-Rod gave that pitch a ride. Good to see him going back up the middle the last few days.
Get ready to cue the “Cano is trash” crowd if he fails to get a hit here. Even if he is successful they’ll say it’s just because he’s facing a bad pitcher.
Cano is trash!
fan created catch 22
Yep, here it comes. Soon they’ll be clamoring for Clay Bellinger.
haha yank fan ftw!
HAHAHA awesome play by the yankee fan.
Awesome, Yankee fan broke that shit up.
let’s get em in Robbie
never mind
The fan gave you a gift and that’s how you repay him? For shame.
Dear Yankees:
Redding has shown an inability to throw strikes. Ergo, swing you should not.
ROBBY SUCKS. THE WORST SECOND BASEMEN IN THE GAME.
That was for everyone. Now can we move on.
damn it yankees, take advantage
channel 11 said Tex isnt a three hitter, and should bat 5.
facepalm
3rd pitch was nasty
heh, 4th was better
Burnett just kinda flings it in there and it’s 95 mph, crazy.
Curveball = ON
They really should let Argenis Reyes use a metal bat. It’s only fair.
Jorge’s got good stuff tonight. Wait, what?
katie must have helped loosen up alex’s hip.
“What the fuck do you think we pay you do? Get your agency card laminated. So you can go to shelter and try to fuck Kate Hudson.”-Miller Gold Agency
haha. Arod carries around a laminated miniaturized copy of his contract..33 million baby.
thanks for that mental picture lol
Wright felt the wrath. Not sure why the Ch.11 crew is calling it a slider.
Hey guys Homer Bailey is pitching tonight. He seem to gotten back his FB back and has a new splitter.
Not sure if the title of this post was meant to relate to the song by Disturbed in any way, but it is a great song nonetheless.
I think it was.
I’m sure I’ve told you this but I love your name.
Luthien + Beren forever!
Thanx. I’m just surprised that someone actually knows the name.
You’re talking to a girl who owns multiple swords.
I just noticed that Posada is not wearing any batting gloves. Has he always done that? Is it because of what he puts on his hands?
You just noticed that bro?
Yeah – Funny how you screen certain things out.
YES!!!! ENTOURAGE BACK IN 3 WEEKS.
If nothing else, Pena cleared the pitcher there.
Fuckin pena wants jeters job
If only we had Posada batting 5th he wouldn’t have struck out like Cano, oh wait…
Pena!!!!
ramiro pena is clutch money!
Damn, AJ puttin together a very good AB.
well he K’ed but still took 8 or 9 pitches.
I’m betting the Yankee pitchers don’t want interleague to end (well, Wang excepted).
No shit, three automatic outs a game plus they get to take their hacks.
Burnett with the Swisher-esque bat
man cano needs to learn some patience from AJ burnett..
Jorge Vazquez: 4-4 1 BOMB 1 2B AND 3 STEAKS. Dude is a beast.
He’s the RH version of juan miranda. Combine those two and you’d get pujols. Except for the glove.
So, Frank Thomas?
that would be pretty sweet.
I wonder if we can trade them to a team needing 1b help and then they can platoon them. I wonder we could get in return.
Actually I’m wrong, vazquez struggles against lefties as well.
WTF, this year mirnda is hitting .310 against them. geez I’m all sorts of messed up.
Three strikeouts and we’re in the second inning. Kinda cool.
IT’S A CURVEBALL COHEN
Burnett has only thrown around 15 sliders all of this year. He has thrown over 400 curveballs. If you see a pitch with break from Burnett, it is pretty safe to call it a curveball even without really paying attention.
Specifically it’s a hard Knuckle Curve.
I hate that term due to the fact that it isn’t a knuckleball pitch. It is just a standard curve ball where he bends his index finger. I prefer the term “spike curve” but it really doesn’t matter.
No way Damon gets to that ball.
Heck of a play by the Melk man
That bloop had disaster written all over it. I saw melky missing it and crashing into the wall. Whew.
Nice range Melky.

Gardy looks really good at the plate right now. Last year he was afraid with 2 strikes, this year he is attacking.
BOMB!
SWISHER!!!!! WOOOO
Work the count full then homers. Love it.
That’s a big fly!
Swisha mayne!!!!!!!1
Crush!!!
And hey Met fans, ur park isn’t so big after all if Gardner can hit one out.
How many times have you guys heard kay ask if “a homer like that shakes a pitcher up?”
Stop bashing for no reason.
Swisher is one of the most valuable members of this team. I get a chuckle when people say he shouldn’t be hitting 2nd or he should be benched for the speedy, gritty Gardner. WTG SWISH!!!!!!!
Who says it’s tough to hit homers here? bunch of Met bitches!
Damn Tex and A-rod both crushed it to center but not enough
alex flicked his wrists on that and it could have gone out
teh yanks aww a solah homerun team
Francesa’d
hah i think when the accent is that visible we all know it was francessa’d
I know I can’t help it!
Al is looking good at the plate. Belted that one, just missed it in his first AB.
i know im late, but that swisha mash was awesome
I would luv to have a 4th outfielder like Swisher.
You know Alex still has some bad luck going against him like in the beginning of his year. (Normal LD% for him, way lower BABIP than Career)
Ah nice, the bottom of the order.
/Checks lineup
Oh, cora is the leadoff hitter.
Utto’s Cano’s up, good thing no one is on base!
Robbie’s due for a HR…
Robbie just missed that. Dammit
I hate when people get into the legalities of teh juice. Okay, so it was cool in another country, just not in USA. STFU Kay.
he does have a point…
http://riveraveblues.com/2009/.....ent-453085
Right, and lets import genital mutilation from the Sudan while were at it. Since its cool in another country, too.
I never said importing/smuggling anything man. I’m saying, you live in Venezuala and inject a completely legal drug. what’s wrong with that?
Nothing.. as long as you stay in venezuela. You come to teh US you gotta play buy our rules mang.
Just stop when you come here, since its illegal here.
These guys weren’t outed for doing stuff in their country, they were outed for doing it here.
BTW-Gary Sheffield, Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire and Alex Rodriguez are all from this country.
I’m well aware of that, my whole thing is, to say it’s illegal in this country is pointless.A large portion of big leaguers reside in other countries where certain things are not illegal. As long as they didn’t bring any illegal material into the USA, they broke no law. So, acting like, oh, it’s against the law you don’t need rules is inaccurate, it’s not against the law everywhere.
It seems as if JoPo hasn’t been hitting well for a while…
Kay-”Yeah, but it was illegal in the country, Al. It doesn’t say in the Baseball agreement that you can shoot somebody in the head, but you still can’t do it. ”
I love that line
There’s nothing like Kay spouting hyperbole.
I hate that argument. Okay, so if you live in Venezuela, and a steroid is legal, if it’s not against baseball rules, how can you be doing anything wrong?
When you come here, its illegal. So stop.
This really isn’t complicated.
Who said you bring it with you? It’s not illegal to have testosterone in your system.
Let me clarify, a 4 week cycle of some steroids can stay in your system for 6 months. If you do a cycle in another country, then come home with no paraphernalia or anything, you haven’t broken any law. That’s what I’m saying.
You’re playing the game with the aid of PED’s. You’d fail a drug test. Believe it or not you can get busted for internal possession of drugs.
Yeah this is what I just explained to Artist, I was talking about before the testing. The arguments were, it wasn’t against MLB rules but it was illegal. I was saying, it wasn’t illegal everywhere.
I understand, but if they fail a drug test then they’re not eligible to play here. They know this going in, they have agents from the time they are 16 explaining this stuff to them. So its not as if they are surprised by cultural differences.
If I got a high paying job in Saudi Arabia, I’d have to wear one of those headscarves. I may not like it, but that’s how they run things over there. If I don’t like it, I can take a job elsewhere for less cash.
Heh, nah I know, we had a bit of a misunderstanding. I was talking about before the testing..
If they don’t want to follow the rules of MLB, they can go play in the Mexican, Dominican or Venezuelan leagues. If they want to play in the states, they have to be clean enough to pass a drug test. Thems the rules.
Now…
I’m talking about when all the shit went down, before they had testing. That’s what Kay and co. were blabbing about before they got to Manny.
i know it’s been only 4 innings but i cant help but feel we are underachieving against tim redding
give Schneider a pitching rotation, and he kills the C.no-hitter record.
WTF? That called strike 3 was so outside!!!
1st pitch changeup to sheff?
NASTY CURVEBALL right there
sho nuff
A.J.’s swinging for the fences.
good god redding looks like josh beckett tonight
It won’t last.
I hope they put a few more runs on the board for AJ. He deserved to win his last start and so far has been brilliant.
Do they really have to reference Burnett’s no hitter in every start?
Did not know he hadn’t given up a hit to that point. I just got home from umping two games…got drilled in the jaw by a foul ball during one. Ouch.
What are you, Michael Kay? Jinxie!
And again Kay wants to be a douche and flashbacks to Burnett’s no hitter. Stop intentionally pissing off people you asshole.
Charles Johnson has caught three no hitters. He’s almost Varitekian.
melkyyyy
Bernie on Huckabee.
Quick! BOOOOO Melky!
What a catch by the Melky man.
another one that damon probably doesnt get
That was a dirty pitch.
This sort of shoots down my ‘King Felix to the Yanks in 2012′ theory.
“I don’t like the Yankees. I never did. I don’t know why. The Yankees are too big. I could have gone with the Yankees but I really didn’t like them. It’s not the people. It’s the team.”
http://www.baseballamerica.com.....felix.html
He said it back in 2004 when he was 19, and Lord knows I changed my mind about a lot of things from the time I was 19 to the time I was 26. But it doesn’t sound good.
Ugh.. Fuck em. Let em get 20 mil less because he doesn’t “like” us. I hate shit like that.
Well Phil Hughes and Jesus Montero were Red Sox fans before so you never know.
Montero too? really?
Yeah I read that in a profile about him. He was happy when the Sox overcame us in 2004 but now he says he loves the Yankees.
I believe you but I wanna read that profile if you can find it.
Oh geez I went through quite a lot of scouting reports. Maybe one of these fund here http://forums.nyyfans.com/showthread.php?t=110690
Thanks bro
Yeah but it’s one thing to be a fan… He said he coulda came here but he doesn’t like us.
Maybe. I heard stuff like this about CC too, so these things can change. But if he doesn’t want to be here, then we don’t want him anyway.
Johnny D vowed to never play for us yet here he is. Money talks.
Good example.
It’s funny though, the one dude we all HATE, Paps, was like, “yeah, i’d go there.” He may be an ass, but he’s not stupid.
Ortiz said the same thing, I believe.
Yeah he did, I remember that.
Come on, A.J., you’ve gotta get the pitcher.
Swisher is one weird cat
aj’s pitching brilliantly, lets get a couple more runs & let aj keep on rolling
Runs. plsthxbye
No prob bro
Thanks for posting that, Mike.
Oral Hershiser actually has a younger brother named Anal Hershiser.
Weird.
Fuck, I thought that was gone. Stupid Citi Field.
So did sterling…not sure if thats good company or not
Yankee fan almost caught that shit.
Damn you Citi Field!
But A-Rod is unclutch!!
He’s baaaaaaaaaack.
aite Texy
Ugh Arod you disgust me, stat paddin and whatnot.
Fucking citi field…
Arod keeping it simple…
Alex!!!!
Robbie 1st pitch swingin hit!!!
Ha that’s one way to play the wall.
FUCK YEAH!
i like our offense
Aaaawwwwwwwww yeah.
the bandbox!!! Its the only reason we hit HR’s!!!
BALLGAME!!!! FUCK YEA POSADA
Now THAT one’s gone
Byebye Mutts
The Yankees >>>> Citi Field.
AJ Burnett-”I didn’t need those 3 runs. Plus, Cervelli frames the pitches much better.”
now that’s the Tim Redding i remember.
But Joe doesn’t know how to draw up a lineup! WTF!
Sweet JoPo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
4 runs in like 3 minutes. Nice.
This is so true. The Yanks aren’t having any trouble hitting HRs in Citifield, are they?
Excuses, excuses.. .. .
That’s just because they’re more manly than the other teams that play there.
The Mets will bitch about anything. Maybe they don’t hit HR’s because their team sucks.
Shhhhhhhhh!
Maybe you should shave your chin, douche.
I love how during the Swisher AB the SNY guys are saying how this is the best they’ve seen Redding and how it was such a big sleeper signing, then 4 pitches later- ha
I love how during the Swisher AB the SNY guys are saying how this is the best they’ve seen Redding and how it was such a big sleeper signing, then 4 pitches later- ha
3 straight 1st pitch swing…3 straight hits! (4 with Texy)
i love how blunt Kay was, “is there a chance that the mets offense is just anemic, and its not the ballpark?”
Smashing the mets is the baseball version of comfort food.
See this is why I get frustrated with the Bandbox thing. We have good players who hit HRs!!! Is it somewhat of a bandbox and smaller than YSII, yes? But we have crushed most of the HRs there and the league overall has increased HR totals a lot too.
yea definitely. It certainly makes a difference, but its more a product of offense/mediocre pitching. it also annoys me that it is all the national media talks about with the yankees, that and a-rod
oh yea that too
lol I honestly thought AJ got that one.
AJ has pitched a pretty good game thus far, but I can’t help but think if Cervelli would have started instead he would have a grand slam and AJ would be throwing a perfect game. Cervelli for starting catcher!!!!!!
Damn, burnett got good wood on that.
funny, i leave this website for 30 mins to watch the game and i come back to enjoy a 5-0 lead!
maybe i was bad luck
Great, now GET OUT OF HERE BEFORE YOU RUIN AJ’S NO HIT BID!!!! HURRY!!!!!
YEZZUR
Too late. Way to go.
Posada making a case for the 5th spot!
as the full time DH!
oh darn
Harold Baines talking smack about the Yanks bullpen
he’s late to the party, that talk was cool in april, not so much not with coke doing better and bruney back
I usually like Harold for discussion on shows like 1st to 3rd, or whatever he is on on mlb network, but his commentary during games….ehhh
All of a sudden Gary Cohen won’t talk about how much of a bandbox the New Stadium is. Wonder why…
About jinxing no hitters,
Cone: I respect that people are superstitious.
Kay: (To himself) Fuck that I don’t give a shit. Superstition is bullshit.
Dammit Robbie.
Proof he shouldn’t hit fifth.
heh
What did he do?
Went to turn turn two but dropped it before he could relay it to first.
Mets announcers all over Cano.
Talking about nonchalant, have they ever seen Beltran, Sheff, Reyes or Wright run the bases?
The Mets nonchalantly gag away playoff spots.
lol… Wright isn’t nonchalant, he just throws the ball away.
Come on Gardy. I pick you up in fantasy and this is how you repay me?
It’s nice to be beating the shit out of the mets.
damn swisha hit that wicked FAAAAAHHHH
Get me Pawcello’s las fawyve stawts
Ya know, just one game, out of 162, I’d like for our announcers to just talk about the game we’re in. Michael Kay is so used to doing a variety sports show that he comes on here, and runs the gambit of subjects.
