Baseball Tonite. Only mention of the game was, Division on the line Soriano gets the win.

That’s all they showed. That’s all they said. Over in 10 seconds. Then straight into “who’s going to dominate the Home Run Derby ?” for 5 minutes.

No mention of the 6 run inning. No mention of the Grand Freaking Slam. No mention of Lou Gehrig, Alex Rodfuckingriguez, or the Modamned record.

I hate ESPN. I hate them so very, very much.

Best Record in the AL !

Would that mean - sole possession of first place?

3. why yes it would.

Stat Padders are in first!!!!!

1 the ESPN computer got an error message about the comeback.  Townie comeback was the best.

I missed “Return of teh Rod”!

ah well won’t be long before he…...

well.

we can hope!

Braves announcers were so down on A-Rod yesterday, I’m happy they choked on his dick today. 

On to tomorrow.  A-Rod with the HR cycle for the first time in ML history.

So the swine was airborne today? And apparently multiple times. A-Rod and then Swisher?

I gotta start believing that Centaurs actually exist, I guess.

Whatever happened to the Rangers?  All of a sudden NYY is the best team in the AL.

You know who looks like a bag of smashed assholes?  The Red Sox.

The Cryptic Brett Gardner.

Wow, that sure sounds bad. It doesn’t matter what Dr. James Andrews told you, Brett? For serious?

See?  See how important teh ate is?

I admit I wandered off after the Yanks were down 3-0 and looking terrible against Minor.

Ugh, cryptic and scary stuff from Brett.

The win obscures the fact that CC was giving up rockets.  It seemed like every hitter was sending one to the wall.

It has been fun given that the pitchers 2-5 have been doing exceptionally well.  WOE stills leaves a little to be desired, but A-Rod’s record tying grannie instead of the GIDP makes up for a lot of that.

I didn’t think those Gardner quotes sounded that bad.  He’s just somewhat clumsily trying to avoid getting into a discussion of medical issues, probably at the urging of other people in the organization who don’t want to spend three days having to clear up the confusion that would result if Brett were the one trying to explain what is wrong with his arm.

[16] Put down the objective pipe, my friend. Clearly Brett’s arm is being held together with some spit, dirt, and duct tape.

Unless that “other doctor” is House, I think this is going to end badly.

Actually, even with House, it would end badly, but at least he would live.

[16] Yeah I’m with BD.  Andrews probably told Gardner something that included “rest it fully for a month” or something.  So isn’t discouraging, because it doesn’t require surgery and would mean he’s back this year.  But isn’t the most encouraging thing because if he can’t use his right arm for a month he also will probably need another month of rehab, and that puts him back mid-August.

The last line actually sounds encouraging.  Basically, Andrews told him he’ll be back, but Gardner isn’t talking about it.  That’s what I read anyway…but I’m the optimist of the group.

You know, this little stew that’s been simmering for the last week is almost ready. 6.5 games back, below .500…yep, tonite might be a good stroll through SoSH land.

Brett’s arm is being held together with some spit, dirt, and duct tape.

And you pretend to have forgotten the Russian MO?

[21]  In Russia, arm rehabs you?
