Yankees.com: Kuroda solid, but Yankees shut down by Felix
The shrieking and standing started in Section 205 in the ninth inning on Saturday at Yankee Stadium, where the 47,067 in attendance finally saw some sort of momentum to call their own. With little to cheer for and no cause for optimism in a two-hour, 32-minute sprint of a game against Seattle, the wave began to make its rounds in the Bronx.
Felix Hernandez made sure it no one in New York’s lineup provided similar excitement in a 1-0 Yankees loss.
“Today, he was better than us,” said Derek Jeter. “That’s pretty much all you can say.”
That really is pretty much all you can say.
I do sort of wish the Yanks had Kuroda going tomorrow instead of Fredo, but no team in the world would do that, so it is a bit silly of me to even sort of complain about it.
Ichiro’s weird “1 hit per game” streak continues.

Kuroda has been great this year, not reflected at all in his W-L. For some reason when he’s on the mound, this top flight offense dries up and blows away.
I think he’s my favorite Yankee pitcher since Moose.
It’s certainly not all you can say, or what would be the point of this blog?
Just flipped to AMC and there’s a Godfather special on. Literally JUST heard Michael telling Fredo to never take sides against the family again.
Shoulda told Fredo if he doesn’t start earning Phelpsie will become a made man.
[3] He won’t. He’s smaaahht.
Apparently there’s a Yankee game on.
Fredo escaped 3 hits one run Montero thrown out at home by Swish
Second and third one out our best RBI guy up
We’re fencing for bronze in men’s team foil and getting absolutely smoked by the Germans. Crowd is chanting U-S-A like it’s their job.
Take THAT, Europe.
Do they all fight at once in team fencing? Because that would be cool.
[10] Ha.
By the way - less terrible than before!
[10] You should see our mixed doubles saber.
The Olympic Ideal is the premise that individuals, not countries, compete against each other in sport. With NBC’s complicity that concept is as extinct as the DoDo Bird.
Game thread on. Let’s get busy.
[10] I cast a Level 4 Fireball. Roll !
Team combo Judo and Tae Kwan Do now that would be an event.
