Isn't Old-Timer's Day great?

Ahh I love this stuff.

Anonymous said...

stop putting Betemit in the lineup!

Anonymous said...

we're playing the best team in baseball. sure, go ahead and put betemit yet AGAIN in the starting lineup

Greg Cohen said...

Yes I do love Old-Timer's Day. But I'm no fan of Wilson Betemit, sadly Joe Girardi is.

Anonymous said...

now Cano is out for the rest of the weekend, great Betemit again tomorrow.

Greg Cohen said...

I'm actually not watching at the moment, Cano is out with his sore hand?

Greg Cohen said...

Justin Spier, you're not funny. At all.

Anonymous said...

here we go again....., what happened with Justin Spier?

Greg Cohen said...

He did the Angels lineup for Fox, and he did it in a Mike Tyson voice, and he painted a tatoo on his face like Tyson's, but it just wasn't funny at all.

Anonymous said...

O, I'm glad I missed it.

Greg Cohen said...

lol, yes you are.

Anonymous said...

Abreu is the worst outfielder I've ever seen. How does that ball fall in?

Greg Cohen said...

It's really amazing how bad he is. I can't wait till next year when he's gone.

Anonymous said...

OMG, what the heck was with that turn? A-Rod couldn't get the ball out of his glove, and what the fuck was that throw to Giambi by Betemit?

God this team fucking sucks. GAME OVER.

Anonymous said...

OF COURSE!!

Anonymous said...

Cano has to suck it up and go out there. Just because your hurt doesnt mean you cant play. Jeter always has something wrong with him, but he still plays basically everyday. I'd rather have a 75% Cano than a healthy Betemit. Heck Id rather have a 50% healthy Cano.

Greg Cohen said...

I agree, but the sad fact is that most players today are for lack of a better word, pussies. They can't handle what old school players could. That's one of the great things about Jeter, he's a throwback. He doesn't make excuses and he plays through pain.

Greg Cohen said...

Oh, and A-Rod took way too long to get that ball to Betemit, which didn't help either.

Anonymous said...

4 k's, you guys hungover? again?

Anonymous said...

yeah it was a bad play by all 3 of them. Giambi should have picked it, Betemit just looked unathletic, terrible throw, and Arod took a while, with not much on the throw.

Anonymous said...

thank you Nady! See thats how its done guys. BETEMIT!!, NO WAY! AM I AWAKE?!?!

Greg Cohen said...

Wow I can't believe what I just saw.

Anonymous said...

I'm still pissed about yesterday, we should be split 1-1 now. O well, I'd rather save the wins vs. the Angels until the playoffs. Like Cleveland last year vs. us.

Anonymous said...

yep, we all knew that was coming. # 17!

Greg Cohen said...

Number 17 for Captain Double Play.

Really, he should just bunt when there's a runner on first with less than 2 out, IN EVERY SITUATION.

Greg Cohen said...

All the defensive disasters are making up for their mistakes. Nice!

Next it will be Giambi's turn.

Anonymous said...

Nice! First of the year for Molina.

Greg Cohen said...

Yep, who needs Pudge when you have MOLINA.

Anonymous said...

betemit AND molina hr? this will never again happen in our lives

Greg Cohen said...

hahahaha, you're probably right.

Greg Cohen said...

Good win, thanks for all the comments.

Anonymous said...

thats how it done. Almost a shutout, if they turned that DP. Hit the ball good today.

Mussina- Cy Young?

Greg Cohen said...

Mussina has been outstanding. He's definitly a contender for Cy Young.

if cliff lee would start losing some games he'll have a much better chance

Greg Cohen said...

Very true. I can't believe the year that bum is having.
