as it happens in the comments section.
Nice move by Girardi to give Teix a night off.
ReplyDeleteJust in case you guys don't know...our magic number is down to 25!
Go Yanks!!
God, where is everyone?
ReplyDeleteobviously not here. always quiet for a game like this. expect people to come in as the night progresses
ReplyDeleteYea, anon is right. Plus, like I said last night, I think people are bored with the regular season.
ReplyDeleteWhat I want to know is what's up with CC? He's been on such a roll any kind of struggles are surprising.
ReplyDeleteYeah. He better pick it up. Bases laoded, 1 out.
ReplyDeleteBig strikeout. By the way, for the moment the Sox are trailing 1-0 to Tampa.
ReplyDeleteWell, so much for that, Bay just tied it with an RBI triple.
ReplyDeleteNice job by CC to get out of it. Hopefully that's the last blemish we'll see from him tonight.
ReplyDeleteTIE GAME!! HINSK WITH A SOLO SHOT! 1-1!!
ReplyDeleteTampa Bay is now leading Boston 4-1.
ReplyDeletekeeping updates here and on mlb official yankee site. GO Yanks!!! *Cheering*
ReplyDeleteCC looks like he's settled down. Good news for the Yanks.
ReplyDelete5-1 Rays.
ReplyDeleteYay i found one!! darn the base was loaded too bad.
ReplyDeleteYay i found one!! darn the base was loaded but too bad no score in the 4th inning.
ReplyDeleteGO CC!!!
ReplyDeleteHey gang,
ReplyDeleteDid you see that D-bag Curt Shilling has said that he would like to run for Ted Kennedy's seat?
Hey Scott, yes I saw that. What a joke. What qualifications does he have? I don't think he understands what kind of job it is.
ReplyDeleteI know. He's crazy to run for the senate seat. What is going through his mind?
ReplyDeleteI don't either. How is the game looking? I hate not having TV.
ReplyDeleteCC settled down, the Yanks have Cano at second with one out in the sixth.
ReplyDelete.... And Berken is out of the game.
ReplyDeleteI am following the game on the AtBat app on my phone, but it just isn't the same.
ReplyDeleteDavid Wright's helmet is such a joke. I hope they don't make them mandetory in the majors like they are going to do in the minors. The normal ones are fine.
ReplyDeleteI mean, when was the last time someone's career, or godforbid life, ended with a 95 MPH fastball to the head?
YEA ALEX!!!! Two-run single by A-Rod to give him 2,500 for his career and a 3-1 Yankees lead.
ReplyDeletei love how the arod haters have shut up lately
ReplyDeleteThere's not much bad to say.
ReplyDeletei love seeing them in the dugout talking...and swisher pats mariano. heehee
ReplyDeleteWhy isn't Hughes warming up?
ReplyDeleteHad anyone seen Bernie Williams perform the National Anthem at the Little League World Series this past weekend?
ReplyDeleteIf not, here the Youtube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kt31TUD6Xeo
Bruney freaking stinks. Get him out of there before this game is tied.
ReplyDeleteHave to assume Hughes will close this one out
ReplyDeleteYup, looks like it. I'd love to see them get him a few insurance runs.
ReplyDeleteI've lost what little confidence I had left in Bruney. The Sultan just ain't got any swing any more.
ReplyDeleteBases loaded, no out, A-Rod coming up!
ReplyDeleteTrue Bruce.... Alright Alex, put this game away.
ReplyDeleteAtta boy Alex! 5-2 Yanks!
ReplyDeleteAngels lost and Red soxs down 1 in the 8th.. would be huge if the Rays hold on
ReplyDelete6-2 on Matsuis rbi
SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!!!
ReplyDeleteGodzilla strikes again! 6-2 Yanks!
ReplyDeleteThis team sure knows how to put a game away.
ReplyDeleteThey sure do.
ReplyDeleteweeeeeeeeeeeee!!! *dances*
ReplyDeleteBoston just tied the game on a wild pitch. God the Rays stink. Talk about a one-year wonder.
ReplyDeleteHahahahahaha now it's 9-2 Yanks. They've turned this one into a laugher.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't be the only one who felt the Rays were a fluke last year.I give them all the props in the world for there amazing year but until a team sustains a few good years I would not crown them like the media does. Same deal with Cardinals in football.
ReplyDeleteMake it 10-2.
ReplyDeleteEnough insurance runs for you yet? LMAO.
ReplyDeleteI agree, anon. At least they regained the lead. It's now 6-5 with a runner on first and nobody out in the bottom of the 8th.
ReplyDeleteYES! Longoria makes it 8-5 with a two-run homer. 7.5 game lead here we come.
ReplyDeleteAre the yankees home or away now? I hear the HUUUUUUUUUGHES chant
ReplyDeleteYay!!!Another win!!!!
ReplyDeleteRays should have been 9-5. Terrible call at the plate but, hopefully, 3 runs will be enough.
ReplyDelete7.5 game lead riding high into Toronto! Magic number trimmed to 24, we're almost there!
ReplyDeleteGoodnight, and go Yanks!
Yea Roger, a lot of Yankees fans in Baltimore tonight.
ReplyDeleteThey were also chanting MVP for Jeter.
If Boston ends up losing it's down to 23.
ReplyDeleteAnother nice win by the Yanks. Check out Brad Penny's line with the Giants. I guess he was tipping his pitches when he was with the Sox along with Smoltz.
