There you go A-Rod. Nice AB.

Greg Cohen said...

Very good at-bat, that wild pitch was huge.

Rasner fucking blows.

Can they stop using this bum? He's really not a major league pitcher.

Greg Cohen said...

What, did you really expect him to pitch a shutout?

2 runs is no big deal, the Yanks just need to score against Parrish, who isn't a Cy Young award winner himself.

The one thing that's really bothering me is all these 0-2 hits, that's the time to expand the zone, not throw meatballs.

Greg Cohen said...

Nice!

Holy shit! Did Pudge just do something?

Greg Cohen said...

Yes, he homered. I'm shocked myself.

UNBELIEVABLE!!!

Greg Cohen said...

Damn it Nady. He's starting to fall into a slump. He's 3 for his last 17.

HIDEKI!!!

Big hit for Matsui and the Yanks. They really needed that.

Greg Cohen said...

Great job by Matsui, they couldn't let that opportunity go by without adding some run.

How long is Girardi going to leave Rasner in this game? Is he waiting for the lead to be gone?

Unknown said...

Any news on Giese's rehab? He gets lost in the Joba fray, understandably, but hed be a great guy to have right now. Case in point this inning. ha.

Greg Cohen said...

The error didn't help, but I know what you mean. Oh well, here he comes.

Greg Cohen said...

He's gonna throw a bullpen session on Tuesday Derek.

Yea that's true Greg, I also thought he was going to stay with Rasner past that hitter. Hopefully the pen can do the job.

fucking shit... if they lose this game I'm not watching the rest of the season.

Unknown said...

Cant blame bruney there, Inglett went n got that, hes a great hitter that kid.

Greg Cohen said...

You're right Derek, just a good piece of hitting.

Anonymous said...

Uh oh, Marte can't locate his fastball again. .... and there's a base hit. FUCK!

Anonymous said...

Come on Edwar, get the job done. We need strikeouts.

Greg Cohen said...

Damn it!

What a disaster this game has turned into, and all thanks to Robbie Cano falling asleep in the field for the 23208299 time.

Greg Cohen said...

And the Jays lead 7-6. Up 6-2 with 9 outs to go and now trail, just pathetic I don't know what else to say.

I'm done with this fucking team, they suck. See you guys next year.

Way to go Robbie, maybe you should consider killing yourself.

Another brilliant Cashman signing...Cano the loser.

Was there any doubt A-Rod was going to choke in the 9th? I don't think so. This team will never win if he's on the roster. Enjoy the next 9 years people....
