So I just finished the movie Moneyball.  I never realized that the whole point was to tell the story of how the Red Sox won the 2004 World Series.  That was annoying…

I thought that was the whole point of ESPN game coverage ?

My optomistic self says if we play this right, we can pull into a tie with the Townies, just a game out of first place today !

I like Mariano Rivera day.

[4] Yoink.

They should play Enter Sandman for each batter as they come up.

Kendrick is the ultimate yankee killer

Super Nova !!

Was that pitch a FB? it was 90 mph and had some movement, definately not the same FB he threw early in the count

Is Nova our best starter right now?

[10] That would be one Mr. Phelps.

The return of WOE

This ump sounds like he’s getting stabbed every time he calls a strike.

Woeful

I really find WOE unpleasant.
Can we avoid it this year?
Not you guys, the team, I mean.

Arod looks bad. This offense need a bat like Montero

10 Uh looks like he better be.

Nova our best starter.  Mo the smart one.

Either GD’s slow, or - what are you guys talking about?

[10] Quite possibly You’re being sarcastic, right ? But Kuroda is legit.

Methinks, however, we might have been better advised to retain Calzone than Garcia.

[19] If you extrapolate our hitting performance from the bottom of the first we’re going to get no-hit tonight.

Ballgame?

(Too negative?)

I’d like to formally withdraw comment 10

If any reporters read this - can you PLEASE, somehow, get the ump to STFU? Pass a ball boy a note or something?

Nova is throwing too many curveballs. He’s not throwing his slider at all

I’ve been drunk for roughly 7 hours. for that alone, the Ybakees should win.

This is Hughesian.

Ianetta likes Yankee pitching.

Too bad P`helps pitched yesterday. Seems like they will need a long man

Calm down lads. Jaysus.

Did he just say “Couple of Homers to make it 1-0…” ???

He did. I want my Scooter back.

Robot Umps are quite as mice.

Jesus Montero has not drawn a walk this season in 35 PA

Yes, Teix’s zones have become less and less.  Great analysis.

I blame Tebow

Yes, Teix’s zones have become less and less.  Great analysis.

Teixeira’s heat map will have a tumbleweed rolling across it in his next AB.

Nice legs, Cano.

Holy shit. A run.

ywes!

Posado lives.

Are they foleying in the sliding sounds ?

Suck it Albert.

0 BB, 5 K.  That’s good.

Sorry.  0 BB, 6 K.

That was pretty good for a guy who doesn’t strike enough hitters out.

[42]http://www.hulu.com/watch/4107/saturday-night-live-e-buzz-millers-art-classics ?

45 Wow!

See, THAT’s what 3 innings, 6 K’s is supposed to look like.

Effing Awesome Nova

That’s why we all predicted that the rotation would be:
1. Nova
2. Phelps
3. Kuroda
4. Garcia
5. Sabathia
Because we know what we’re talking about.

MVP

It’s pretty awesome that Jeter is really good again.

Derek locked in.  Tex locked up?

Jeters cooked. Read you some RLYWL from a year ago.

[51] That’s only because CC is out of options and can’t be sent down.

Very productive out>productive out

Judging by GD’s indication of the location of these hits, Williams is really getting screwed.

Judging by GD’s indication of the location of these hits, Williams is really getting screwed.

So good, it’s worth pointing out twice.

Damn, GD has 2 of those balls being strikes.

Pete, you might be able to watch the game on ESPN3.com, depending on your connection

When did they change the rules to allow Teixeira to get a hit?

OK, they’re clearly cheating.

Read you some RLYWL from a year ago.

You don’t need that trailing L.  Weblog is one word.

Two productive outs in one inning!  Amazing.

[62] Big lead and growing. Even a blind…

[64]SG, the Flyers destroyed Steeltown Cindy and the Crosbys once again. I’m knee deep in a very happy place. I’m lucky to spell otf or SG.

If Petite can go 4 innings without giving up a run he sounds like he’s ready to be slotted into the 3rd spot in the rotation.

Surprised they didn’t start Takahashi.  He did good against us last year as I recall.

1. Nova
2. Phelps
3. Kuroda
4. Pettitte
5. Garcia
Sabathia is the long man/emergency starter.

Flip Hughes for a backup catcher.

Checking in on the box after listening to the first few with half an ear.  Nova seems good.  Does he look good?

[70] Wrong, Chris Stewart to the rotation, Hughes for backup catcher.

Who the eff is Chris Stewart ?

(Had to look him up.)

Martin is a keeper

yankz, thanks.
That was a lot of work to learn that I do not subscribe to an appropriate cable package.
Especially since it didn’t ask for my cable provider, but for my internet provider.

[71] Yes he does. Attacking the zone and not wasting pitches since he gained the lead.

9 walks for Martin in the season zero for Montero.

Sorry :(

Jeter is going to bunt against the lefty, I am 100% sure

What is this “Brett Gardner, Little Guy” business ? He’s 5’10”. That’s a full head taller than Elf.

Yay, BG ! BG stands for Big Guy.

Jeter vs. a lefty at home is the biggest lock in sports right now.

MVP

Why can’t all games be like this?

Disgraceful home run.

MVP?

Disgraceful !!!!!

Put a fork in him.

Stat Padding disgrace.

I don’t mean to brag, but I’ve been talking Jeter for MVP since like game 4.

They are so obviously cheating… somehow…

Yankz, no, seriously, thanks for thinking of it!

[88]
Awesome, still laughing.

You know, I’m not seeing a lot of analysis in some of these posts…

DFA Granderson.

Jaysus, we need to meet some new people. Echo and the Bunnymen over heah.

[91] See [86].

April 6, 2011.

Mel Hall pronounces Jeter “fucking cooked.”

Wombat Pete agrees.

Are they taunting Abreu ?

[95]
This is why I hate the internet.

[95]
That could have been anyone using my account.
It was probably Mel.

It was me…I saw this joke coming a year ago.

Besides, it’s dangerous to disagree with Mel Hall.
And I didn’t real mean, by agreeing, that Jeter was cooked. I didn’t. Honest. I ran out of gas. I had a flat tire. I didn’t have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn’t come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from outta town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake, a terrible flood, locusts. It wasn’t my fault!! I swear to God!!
