    Just in case you guys don't know...our magic number is down to 25!

  2. obviously not here. always quiet for a game like this. expect people to come in as the night progresses

    ReplyDelete
  3. Yea, anon is right. Plus, like I said last night, I think people are bored with the regular season.

    ReplyDelete
  4. What I want to know is what's up with CC? He's been on such a roll any kind of struggles are surprising.

    ReplyDelete
  5. Yeah. He better pick it up. Bases laoded, 1 out.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Big strikeout. By the way, for the moment the Sox are trailing 1-0 to Tampa.

    ReplyDelete
  7. Well, so much for that, Bay just tied it with an RBI triple.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Nice job by CC to get out of it. Hopefully that's the last blemish we'll see from him tonight.

    ReplyDelete
  9. TIE GAME!! HINSK WITH A SOLO SHOT! 1-1!!

    ReplyDelete
  10. Tampa Bay is now leading Boston 4-1.

    ReplyDelete
  11. keeping updates here and on mlb official yankee site. GO Yanks!!! *Cheering*

    ReplyDelete
  12. CC looks like he's settled down. Good news for the Yanks.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Yay i found one!! darn the base was loaded too bad.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Yay i found one!! darn the base was loaded but too bad no score in the 4th inning.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Hey gang,

    Did you see that D-bag Curt Shilling has said that he would like to run for Ted Kennedy's seat?

    ReplyDelete
  16. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  17. I know. He's crazy to run for the senate seat. What is going through his mind?

    ReplyDelete
  18. I don't either. How is the game looking? I hate not having TV.

    ReplyDelete
  19. CC settled down, the Yanks have Cano at second with one out in the sixth.

    ReplyDelete
  20. .... And Berken is out of the game.

    ReplyDelete
  21. I am following the game on the AtBat app on my phone, but it just isn't the same.

    ReplyDelete
  22. David 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.

    I mean, when was the last time someone's career, or godforbid life, ended with a 95 MPH fastball to the head?

    ReplyDelete
  23. YEA ALEX!!!! Two-run single by A-Rod to give him 2,500 for his career and a 3-1 Yankees lead.

    ReplyDelete
  24. i love how the arod haters have shut up lately

    ReplyDelete
  25. i love seeing them in the dugout talking...and swisher pats mariano. heehee

    ReplyDelete
  26. Had anyone seen Bernie Williams perform the National Anthem at the Little League World Series this past weekend?

    If not, here the Youtube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kt31TUD6Xeo

  27. Bruney freaking stinks. Get him out of there before this game is tied.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Have to assume Hughes will close this one out

    ReplyDelete
  29. Yup, looks like it. I'd love to see them get him a few insurance runs.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I've lost what little confidence I had left in Bruney. The Sultan just ain't got any swing any more.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Bases loaded, no out, A-Rod coming up!

    ReplyDelete
  32. True Bruce.... Alright Alex, put this game away.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Angels lost and Red soxs down 1 in the 8th.. would be huge if the Rays hold on

    6-2 on Matsuis rbi

    ReplyDelete
  34. SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  35. This team sure knows how to put a game away.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Boston just tied the game on a wild pitch. God the Rays stink. Talk about a one-year wonder.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Hahahahahaha now it's 9-2 Yanks. They've turned this one into a laugher.

    ReplyDelete
  38. I 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.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Enough insurance runs for you yet? LMAO.

    ReplyDelete
  40. I 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.

    ReplyDelete
  41. YES! Longoria makes it 8-5 with a two-run homer. 7.5 game lead here we come.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Are the yankees home or away now? I hear the HUUUUUUUUUGHES chant

    ReplyDelete
  43. Rays should have been 9-5. Terrible call at the plate but, hopefully, 3 runs will be enough.

    ReplyDelete
  44. 7.5 game lead riding high into Toronto! Magic number trimmed to 24, we're almost there!

    Goodnight, and go Yanks!

    ReplyDelete
  45. Yea Roger, a lot of Yankees fans in Baltimore tonight.

    They were also chanting MVP for Jeter.

    ReplyDelete
  46. If Boston ends up losing it's down to 23.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Another 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.
