This team is more boring than soccer.

I’d be happy if the Yankees manage a draw.

7:05 pm in what time zone?

[3] In South Africa.

[1] well, they did score less runs than a soccer game yesterday.

[1] There’s more scoring in soccer. Also, we don’t have to watch Joba, Teix, or CHP. Soccer RULES !!

Edit: I owe RW a coke.

You’ve got to be kidding. WTF.

Hughes!

Why is Jeter out?

I’m going to have to look into some way of preemptively muting the ads on gameday - once off they stay off, but still.

Maybe the Yanks can even it up this… Oh wait, WOE.

Wonder if Gardner’s starting to get a fairer zone - maybe umpires have become aware he’s been a good player this year, maybe having a BA > 0.300 is enough.

Surprised Swish only got a single out of that. Well played by Francoeur.

Tex is killing the offense. Seriously painful.

I always wonder why pitchers throw over at Cano so much, since he’s not much of a runner.

[15] Apparently they don’t know how lazy he is.

7:05 pm in what time zone?

Bratislava time.

Yeah, I know you want to do everything possible to discourage interleague play, but we’re too smart to get tricked like that.

WTF? Reyes?

So Teixeira’s batting leadoff for the Mets?

Grrr.

[7].

Hughes?

The changeup could be a really good weapon v. LHB, but it doesn’t appear to be part of his repertoire.

When did the Yankees trade for Pudge Rodriguez?

The good news is Phil’s HR/FB rate is moving from unsustainable and fluky to realistic.

[26] LH hitters have 6 while RH hitters have 1.

The good news is Phil’s HR/FB rate is moving from unsustainable and fluky to realistic.

If this is today’s only good news, I may start to break things.

What?

????

Tex! surprise!

2009 replay of Teix looks good.

Gameday says Teix was disgraceful. True, or Absolutely True ?

/WOE

!

Well now.

So Pelfrey was the cure WOE needed?

[33]

Teix’s was less disgraceful than Reyes’ second.

Stuck in fenway pressbox.  Just saw Granderson HR on gameday.  Pelican beaks.

Hughes better get Cora and Blanco so Reyes’ third HR is a solo shot.

I wouldn’t object if Reyes got one in the ribs here.

[41] Or at least brushed back.

That works too.

Congratulations are in order to Mark Teixeira, who’s once again cracked the .400 SLG barrier.

Why were’t the Yankees allowed to bat in the bottom of the fifth inning?

Dare I ask the pitch count for Hughes?

9 straight FB per GD???

83 after that AB.

Thanks Clay.

How is Austin?

Make that 10.

Link at the top goes to GD, which has a running total of pitches…

[49] Hot, but nice. You’ll be happy to know that I am now employed.

Thank you Jason!

Needed that!

Go Hughes! See you in the 7th.

That was cool.

[52] Congrats!

91 pitches through 6.  Oh well.

[52] Congrats.  Hope it’s something fun/challenging/whatever.

Cano walks on 5 pitches and Posada swings at the first pitch?

Maybe Posada could have looked at a few pitches after a walk to Cano.

Edit: Maybe I could refresh before commenting.

The bottom of this lineup is terrible.

Hughes isn’t really hitting his spots well now, Posada’s glove looks to be moving on every pitch.

Ha! That helped the Hughes pitch count.

[63] Yeah, he’s probably done now anyway after 98 pitches.

Good inning Hughes.  Now we can watch Joba piss away this lead in under 10 pitches.

I say he does it in eight.

Efficient inning for Hughes.

Let him start the 8th?  I am not excited to see Joba pitch.

Thanks Cora!  Now Phil might be able to pitch one more, instead of having to use one of the Implosion Relievers.

If the Yankees can score five runs off Pelfrey here, he leaves with an ERA higher than Hughes.  Let’s go WOE!

So the options are:

Joba
CHoP
Robertson
Marte
Logan
Gaudin

I don’t know if the Mets are afraid looking at that bunch, but Girardi should be.

Better get some more runs if Joba is going to make an appearance.

Teixeira’s stay at the .400 SLG club lasted two whole ABs.

Joba is due for a good outing.

Sorry for the straightforward optimism.

Mo hasn’t pitched since , what, Sunday? So Mo is reday to go 1+.

So long as Girardi doesn’t bring him in with the bases juiced.

Shit, it’s Joba.

SG, I take the under.

I would use Hughes or even Robertson here.

over-under on runs we allow in the 8th?  2.5 seems sensible….

97?

When did Kyle put on all that weight and change his number ?

Jesus Feliciano? That changes everything.

Anyway, I agree with Don at [73], except for “due”.

So they’ll score off Halladay and Pelfrey, two Cy Young candidates, but not Moyer or Kendrick. Got it.

Mo hasn’t pitched since , what, Sunday? So Mo is reday to go 1+.

Mo’s still on the team?  I thought he retired.

Nice snatch.

So basically, Teixeira has become Doug Mientkiewicz?  And why do I still remember how to spell Mientkiewicz?

[81] You forgot about Takasushi last night.

Yankees are hell bent on making heroes out of sucky players. Angel Pagan? Come on!

Joba!

Nice. Well done Joba. this time.

Tex=5 vowels, Mink=5 vowels
Each has two Is and two Es.
THIS CANNOT BE A COINCIDENCE

Sometimes it’s great to be wrong.

[85] Don, it really isn’t funny, it is pretty annoying. Do you really need all this attention?

Yay fist pump!

[89] One had a secretary named Kennedy and the other had a secretary named Lincoln.

Rodriguez has a groundout, flyout, strikeout. I predict a lineout.

it’d be nice to see teh Rod make an appearance…

That was unexpected.

I predict a walk.

Nice defense from Pagan there.

Wow, that sucks for Pagan.

Whatever works.
