attaboy edwar
onto the mike dunn sighting!
That’s pretty sick that Z-Mac is getting the call to AAA.
I won’t smoke, I won’t smoke! Just stop it with these commercials.
This.
I like what comes later when he’s doing it to Peter in the office.
His accent is great, though. It sounds Lithuanian.
/Window seat, please.
Those commercials should be declared “acts of terrorism.”
If it’s Edwar proof it’s Dunn proof.
Is it Andrew Brackman proof?
Only if Molina is catching.
I’d love to see Brackman. Just for shits and giggles, ya know?
His last few outings have been really good; hopefully he continues like that next year.
He is on the 40-Man. You know just bring him up so everyone can see what he looks like
He’s the only guy they measure in metric units. He’s a frickin’ giraffe!
the way brackman went out of the pen sure is.
Hey now, Brackman has had pretty good command for a few games now. Now Sam Elam…that’s another story.
Pinch run for matsui? No?
The hits keep on coming
[/kay’d
they should let all those kids that didn’t pitch well come out. they got nothing to lose besides maybe more of there dignity.
Cano is taking a siesta.
He’s so lazy that he’s letting someone else bat for him.
Yeahhhh Shelley!
SHELLY DUNCAN SIGHTING!!
Shelley sighting!
Throw Shelley a fastball!
Shelley would be great in fastball-only games.
those all were fastballs, he didn’t do anything.
It’s one AB.
hello again…
I love the buzz in the crowd with Shelley’s appearance.
Shelley would hit 5th in the Mets lineup.
He has more plate discipline than Frenchy
The Yankees have three minor leagues who would have played first base for the Mets once Delgado went down. Duncan, Miranda and Jorge Vazquez, who was having a great year before he was injured.
Trade them all for Beltran.
Oh man
Johnny Alb now?
Let’s see him
servek them out.I went to the Jersey Shore last weekend. Holy lord, the whole ocean is polluted with that Axe Body Spray shit. And the air–it’s stifling!
Who actually likes that stuff?
Jose at first, that’s pretty funny.
He was there last night too I think.
Jose playing first?
Lol, Girardi’s got jokes.
The eyedes of September are upon us?
Oh I see what you did there.
Only Kay could bring “manifestation” into a conversation about getting hit with a ball while playing catch.
Haha
wow what a defense…hinskie at 3rd, shelley in right and molina at 1st.
combined -100 UZR
That’s it? I figured it’d be worse.
i just went -33 each to be nice. but just for kicks id love to see Molina at 1B for 150 games
Cody Ransom=Dividing by zero.
Who would have a better UZR in the outfield? Jose Molina or Bobby Abreu?
Speaking of UZR, I’ve been watching the US Open a decent amount lately and I cannot help but think that some of those tennis players would make dynamite SS/2B.
Andy Roddick has a wicked serve too, I wonder how that translates to throwing a baseball.
Yup. I can definitely see Fed making the sweet DP turn like Cano.
It doesn’t matter because UZR is the suck.
Its a CrAzY sTaT! My EyEs!!
Defensively, this is our Z lineup, yes?
Offensively too.
Hey! Tonight, Molina’s batting OVER NINE THOUSAND.
Jose Molina is now 90 for his last 10
His OBP is through the roof.
Tonight.
This updated line-up has given today’s game new life.
alby lookin good
are we watching different games?
this was said right before the two runners reached base….
I didnt realize the time frame. my bad, although if he allowed a three run jack you would have probably called it a “damn good job” by alby and then blamed it on the defense.
You should consider ignoring the guy.
+1, it’s much, much easier.
+1, very, very easy
Chances noMaas puts up anything on AJ having a good start?
They’ll give credit to Molina.
-10%
Wow, so what were left with is:
Pena 2B
Damon LF
Gardner CF
Matsui DH
Hinske 3B
Duncan RF
Cervelli C
Hairston SS
Molina 1B
Take Damon out
Let Dunn play LF.
We don’t have anyone to put in?
put that lazy bum arod in, make him catch so I can have a few laughs.
I don’t know what the deal with this “9″ movie is, but the promo uses a Coheed and Cambria song. That kinda makes me want to go see it. Kind of.
I love playing that song on guitar.
Yeah, I wasn’t a huge fan of that album, though. The previous two were much better.
You should hear they’re old stuff, when they were Shabutie.
Yeah? How hard is that to get? Speaking of ‘way back’ and bands, I think I once heard a song from when Jesse Lacey of Brand New “fame” was in Taking Back Sunday. Weird, wild stuff.
I don’t know. I have some though. I grew up with some of them (Claudio and Travis). To tell you the truth, it’s not that good. There’s a few golden eggs in there, precursors to C&C, but it’s worth a listen. search for them on myspace. it may still be up. “Camouflage” is a good one. As for Taking Back Sunday, I’m pass all together. Not my cup of jo.A little old for that.
i’m seeing it.
Hey look at that A-rod is on the top step too
So much for him not being a team player and all about himself.
He’s just scoping the crowd for chicks.
No, he’s pitch tipping.
Bitch tits.
If you read the Roberts book, you’d know that’s the only time he ever tips. Hooters waitresses are not happy.
it’s not his fault. he misheard the advice he got from Chipper Jones about Hooter’s waittresses.
Chipper said “just the tip”
Well played, sir. Well played.

Chemistry breeds biology! Gotcha, Kay!
What happened to Edwar Ramirez…I thought he used to be good?
Used to be.
Who?
Haha, Swish making Al scratch his head… Not surprised. Swish may be nuts.
Swish is always making those dudes laugh.
Seems like a chill dude.
Hey, our brilliant plan to keep from needing Mo tonight worked!
beat the shit out of sonnastine – check
AJ pitch a good game – check
bullpen keep it going – check
Yeah, but if we needed him, we wouldn’t have him! Clueless Joe at it again.
Worst manager ever. It’s only because of Pena in the dugout that we ever win games.
Wow. A Molina walk might be more surprising than all the hits.
2 in 1 game
damn molina has an A-rod-like line tonight
singles hitter!
He’s just stat-padding, OHDONTCHAKNOW!
Kay: So, forget what I said.
I wish I could Kay, I wish I could…
Kay: I roofie myself to wake up in the morning and discover what I’m really capable of.
(Pause)
Kay: I misspoke. Forget what I said.
…RAB have a mobile-friendly site? I’m dying here…
How about they get a Blackbery app too.
We should get benefits for every 2,500 comments.
save the offense tomorrow for price
we’ll need it i think
Price has been thoroughly “meh” this season.
As expected.
But if he keeps struggling, to thy 8th!
especially recently. look at post ASB, he’s cut down on his walk rate, but his K rate also dropped, and BAA has gone up. oh and hes a 5 inning pitchaaaaah
A buddy of mine just showed me this Mike Francessa vid.
ahhhahaha
Understand?
Joe DiMaggio is Joe DiMaggio. Joe DiMaggio in 1982 is doing nothing except being Joe DiMaggio. Joe DiMaggio is Joe DiMaggio.
What was that even about? Did Joe D do something stupid in ’82? I was too busy being -5 years old to notice.
Who cares, at least now we know, Joe DiMaggio is not Joe DiMaggio because of 1982. He’s Joe DiMaggio because he’s Joe DiMaggio, not because of 1982. Understand?
Exactly.
What…the…fuck…?
Getting preeeeeetty sick of that KGB ad.
It’s not nearly as bad as the NYQUIT commercials or the Axe commercials.
Then you haven’t seen (actually you most likely have seen) the Vlasic commercials….
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hcVcXu51RA (SFW)
there’s 2 others, but I don’t want to bother.
yay dunn!
Mike Dunn !!!!
How sick would it be to be able to buy a dugout microphone feed. I’d love to know what they’re talking about.
It could turn into its own show. “Sex Tips with the MelkMan” by Melky Cabrera.
Telemundo, of course.
Me too. When I watch games with less…devoted fans, they wonder about my obsessive need to know everything going on. But, yeah, to have some inkling into those dugout chats would be fun.
and he walks the 1st batter lol
dunn
you have to throw strikes
pretty please?
Mike…come on.
hey he got an out!
Dunn is in great shape
boy, after this season, someone needs to spend time with him throwing at a target for hours
i def. agree his command is something else
Or throwing at Cody Ransom for hours.
Our first baseman counseling Dunn. :p
having 2 catchers on the field at once- girardi is the genius!
another walk…
Dunn come on, just throw it down the middle.
how was that ball 4???
that was strike 1
What is that, five walks in one inning of MLB pitching so far? I think we see what he needs to work on.
AJ looking great is the biggest thing out of this game. CC, AJ, Andy is a nice trifecta to start the playoffs
Right on, scoot.
Odds that Mariano starts warming?
Are you sure that’s not Posada behind the plate?
LOL.
It definitely says something about the score that this 9th is making me laugh.
If Posada was catching or at 1B, Dunn would have given up 10 runs by now.
wow just wow
Bro, throw the shit underhand, throw an eephus, do something, just throw a strike.
HE THREW A STRIKE! Woo!
Two in a row!
a Strikeout =O
there you go dunn
congrats man on the K
FIRST BIG LEAGUE K.
Thank you, Tampa!
odds he goes 3-0 against kapler? 80%
progress nice
prediction he wll replace coke at some point next year
He has the stuff, he just needs the control. Hard to predict when, or if, that will come.
Who’s faster, JoMo or the Ray’s first base coach?
Another Hurray !!
Oh PEACE, Gabe.
Keep rollin, rollin, rollin, rollin!
great job all around today!
ballgame over!
Magic Number = 16
Chairman, ftw.
Whitey!
That’s a good one
http://www.byzan.org/wp-conten.....elby-2.jpg
We have the same amount of wins as last year.
16! my favorate #!!!
/pedophiled
16! my favorate #!!!
/pedophiledpat’dBetter.
That’s just mean. straight mean. He did his time.
/Pedroia’d
Naa, that’s a low blow.
You have to wait for Roger Maris for that one.
Not cool.
Matt knows all about being not cool.
you 2 should go on a date.
Look at Matt right here:
lmao
Is that really you Matt, playing the fool? I’ve taken a few spills in my day for others enjoyment.
You know how to cut to the core of me, Pop.
Yay 2K Dunn!
Michael Dunn is about as controlled as WalMart the week prior to Christmas. Mariano, on the other hand, is under control as much as WalMart is before Kwanzaa.
You going to be here all week? Just so I know if I have to leave right now.
I’m giddy at the strong potential of a 3-digit win record.
23 games left and we need 11 for the Triple Digits.
11-12 in the last stretch of the season… that’s weak, we will win a lot bunch more than 100 games.
Those standings are pretty fierce. And to think, I was sure the Yanks wouldn’t hold on to the East for good after we got it back post-ASB.
Glad to be wrong!
Fierce?
Fml
Another come from behind win
Nice shot of Whitey for the Magic Number photo! The Chairman of the Board!!!
Go Canes!
What do we have like 44 come from behinders this year?
if this game counts, then i don’t think the stat is all that meaningful…
no it isn’t meaningful just fun to keep track of
no, you’re right, it is cool.
just think it would be better if “come from behind” was defined a little more strictly.
Derek is getting annoyed with all these questions.
Its like asking about his defense.
Burnett baby.
So fresh and so clean in his interview.
how was this a sweep? don’t they play the rays tommorow too?
Swept the DH
and the next day, its just a double header sweep.
Tied the win total for last year.
What a win for the Canes!!! That was a sick game.
The Yankee MLB site is talking about Jeter possibly passing Pete Rose’s record eventually…as much as I like Jeter, I don’t see that happening.
If he hung on forever and ever, I think it could happen. He could cling on with a team like the Pirates or the Padres or the Nats for years pinch hitting and playing all over the IF, and putting some butts in the seats with his name.
He wouldn’t, though. I think that Jeter, like Mussina, will want to go out on his own terms and not get shamed out of the game by sucking so badly that no one will give him a job.
His career average is 200 hits/Inning.
This is arguably the best year he’s had, sans 1999. I think, the way he keeps himself in shape, he can play another 5 years. That puts him close to 3800 hits based on career average. However unlikely it is, I don’t think you can write it off.
