Comments

I for one elect this as zombie opening day and the start of a turnaround.
Our 789 very impressive. Wise really that’s the best we got?
Guess Jeters not hitting 400 this year.
That’s not interesting Kay thats an effing disaster
Ibanez doesn’t understand WOE.
Still some masochists out there who would rather watch the Yanks lose than have a real life?
Hit em where they are Tex
Its been two days since I last posted TEX STINKS. 4 years + 120 games left on the contract. Ugh.
6 I slow down for car wrecks
Hm. Not sure what I care less about: George Brett’s analysis of the Royals minor league system, or this Yankees team.
Game over. Tip your hat to Hochevar.
If we had Gardy we could get a draw tonight.
Martin is not the problem of this Yankees offense. He has a better OBP than most of the team
Hughes is really pitching good lately. Not front of the rotation material, but still good to pitch as a starter on a good team
Way to jinx it, Kenny.
Cano! Without the WOE!
That counts as back-to-back and belly-to-belly these days
TSAR
Maybe Teixeira needs to sacrifice a live chicken.
Base hit bunts!
Baby steps. First, seeing-eye singles and stretching on errors and bunts, then comes bloops that fall in and occasional doubles.
Melky leading baseball in hits, what?
That woulda been funny if he got the force
Why is the NYY number bigger than the KC number? Does not compute
Bunt single, productive out, Yankee ball. We need 8 more like Wise.
Pathetique. Five more years at 25 per.
DFA Ibanez.
Even Iganez has caught Yankeeitis.
Sub optimal for most teams, best we could hope for with this team.
I like Hughes’s transformation into cromulent starter.
So if the Yankees traded Hughes, how many Cy Youngs would he win? Ten?
Rather just have him scuffle along in cromulence for us.
Oh come on Hughes, don’t fall apart now…
QS and three runs of modest offense? Can it start raining now?
[33] Soriano waits to kick us in the junk.
Logan has been a huge asset this season. I would purchase his tee shirt.
I think OTF just cursed logan.
Logan is one dumb bastard.
[36] Agreed. What the effen eff?
Yay luck
Nice work by Eppley’ and Rapady
Warning track power again.
bleh
Ready to kneel…
The Yankees Win! With Soriano!
Nice play by the rod.
Nice play by the rod.
Soriano reminds me a lot of Wetteland. It’s never easy. Yay win, or something.
Holy crap that was close. Nice play by Alex. We won!
Nice stretch by Teixeira too.
Anytime you can beat Luke Hochevar you have to be happy.
Can they pull off the miracle tomorrow and take 2 of 3 from the Royals?
It feels weird when Hughes and Soriano don’t suck.
[51]Thats because it IS weird.
Yay Sweep Avoidance !
