    Let’s try some reverse jinxerism:

    This game is a lock for the Twins. There’s no way the Yankees can ever beat them.

  2. Professor Longnose says:

    CC, 1-2-3.

  3. smurfy says:

    Hey, got my PC some laxative! CC looks good,so far. Willingham said they were thinking to swing early before CC can deploy his changeup. Bad news for them: his slider looks good.

    Much more confident than Lester v. Texas.

  4. smurfy says:

    Swish mitt der smashing double!

  5. smurfy says:

    Boy, talk about smashes! Robbie’s deserved the corner, due to fierceness.

  6. smurfy says:

    Shoot! I was looking for Tex. C’mon Andruw.

  7. smurfy says:

    cc gets a little less confident. Willingham! Somebody was yearning to pick him up last year. whoo.

  8. smurfy says:

    slim crowd at YS. Maybe they’re watching Bos v Tex

  9. Professor Longnose says:

    Grrrr. They need to get going.

  10. Professor Longnose says:

    Nunez will get them going with the bunt!

  11. smurfy says:

    The balk was because Liriano stepped straight toward first ith his right leg, outside the 45 degree line. The nosense lefty balk rule.

  12. smurfy says:

    Nice soft, effective rally!

  13. Professor Longnose says:

    ARRRRRGH! They stink!!!!

  14. smurfy says:

    Looks like Lester is getting drawn and quartered.

  15. smurfy says:

    Brett earned his WAR there.

  16. smurfy says:

    Little less stinky, no?

  17. smurfy says:

    Sluggin’ catcher of the NY Yankees, Chistopher Stewart, brings two home!

  18. Michael Eder says:

    Jeter really hit the ball hard again.

  19. Professor Longnose says:

    Nice!

  20. smurfy says:

    Sweet! CC looked like his ol’ self there.

  21. smurfy says:

    Andruw finally got his damage. He was looking huge last night. Shame, now that our game is comfy, Tex has done beaten them BoSox.

  22. smurfy says:

    Let..go! Let go-o-o. Great song, musta been a whatzat Mexican beer with the lemon commercial.

  23. smurfy says:

    sure wish we could see.

  24. Michael Eder says:

    Every pitch the Yankees got a hit on was a two-seam fastball, the pitch I explained Liriano was tipping in his scouting report.

  25. Professor Longnose says:

    Damn, it was cold out on that ledge.

  26. smurfy says:

    Brett put a charge into that double. Replay shows it was all hands. Hmm, Johnny Damon got a ton of big hits that way. The buggy whip for Brett!

  27. smurfy says:

    Fuggin’ Derek!

  28. smurfy says:

    Robbie’s drive was pure solid, kind that makes your soul feel good.

  29. Professor Longnose says:

    On that play Nunez looked like he needed a traffic cop to tell him where to go.

    • smurfy says:

      you’re being mean, Professor. He has the instructions on the back of his glove.

      • Professor Longnose says:

        I guess he wanted to do it without looking at them. And he made the play, so he gets the credit.

        • smurfy says:

          that was a curious play, the short hopper, he came in easily, and the ball found the sweet spot in his glove. He sidesteps over second, and as he continues his run, he’s still taking these mincing little steps.

  30. smurfy says:

    Nice finish, CC. Nuney got that little hopper perfect. Soft grounders, not scary. (Just laughin’ at Arod so he won’t do it anymore. Think Al was right, he thought that bouncer was harder, and thought to position himself for a quick flip to 2cd.

  31. smurfy says:

    With one out – and Chris Stewart at bat – that was the right time to steal. Wha!? Another solid single!

  32. Professor Longnose says:

    Stewart and Gardner power the offense!

  33. smurfy says:

    Don’t know who, but I’d say Soriano for the 8th andRob’tson for the 9th.

    Oh, must be Mo needs the work. He was coming around to form.

  34. smurfy says:

    I’d give the player of the game award to Derek, but he’d shuck it over to Chris, who would lay it at CC’s feet.

  35. smurfy says:

    Mauer shoots one over Robertson’s bow.

  36. smurfy says:

    Swish has played a nice first. He’s pretty good over there.

    Of course, I coulda guessed it when he caught Jorge’s throw from second last year.

  37. smurfy says:

    Alright, Joe. Used the spot to let Corey Wade regain his confidence.

    Ok, can we please get past 500 tomorrow?

    • Professor Longnose says:

      Let’s hope. I was pretty busy today and couldn’t comment much. Maybe tomorrow I’ll get into it. Have a good one.
