    At the All Star break, the “Who Would Have Thunk It?”
    * The Phillies are 16 GB
    * Cliff Lee has only 1 win
    * A-Rod is only 1 HR behind Pujols
    * AJ Burnett has more wins than any Yankee starter

  2. Professor Longnose says:

    Two more first inning runs.

  3. Phil C says:

    Yankees in 1st inning this series, 5, 4, 3, 2…regressing, but nice

  4. Phil C says:

    The Red Sox cannot complain that injuries are killing them. Their replacements have been incredible. In fact, they have out scored the Yanks.

  5. pdids says:

    is there any doubt ortiz is gonna get a hit here?

  6. Professor Longnose says:

    After getting first inning leads, the Yankees have

    not lost the lead
    lost the lead but won the game
    lost the lead and the game

    What can they do today?

  7. Professor Longnose says:

    Nice K! Love that curve.

  8. Professor Longnose says:

    Kill the shortstop!

  9. Phil C says:

    Hey, doies anyone know what’s up with the Yanks 1st pick? Hensley? I thought they said he’d be an easy signing.

  10. Professor Longnose says:

    Is Nix for real?

  11. Professor Longnose says:

    Jeter’s bummed. He wanted the sacrifice so he could drive in the run and get even.

  12. Professor Longnose says:

    See, Jeter would have driven in the run anyway. Now he’ll have to steal second.

    Keep the pressure on, guys.

  13. Phil C says:

    Boston leads 1-0, because none of these runs count. Only by HRs.

  14. Professor Longnose says:

    43 pitches for Lester. Let’s get it to 60.

  15. Professor Longnose says:

    Come on, Cano.

  16. Phil C says:

    I hope Jeter’s not hurt.

  17. Phil C says:

    Nova to self, “If these dame guys wont field, I’ll just strike out the side.”

  18. Professor Longnose says:

    Gonzalez is out?? Hmm.

  19. paradox13 says:

    Rough fielding all around this weekend, are the guys getting tired? Glad for the ASB coming up.

    • Professor Longnose says:

      Maybe just a fielding slump. I hope they get it back together. They don’t have a lot of range, but they’ve been surehanded.

      At least Jones is on a fielding tear.

  20. paradox13 says:

    I feel like Jones borked that play in left last night costing a run, though. I am probably just hypercritical.

  21. Phil C says:

    Noooooooooooooo!!!!

  22. paradox13 says:

    Whoops, no more jinxing!

  23. Professor Longnose says:

    Jeter has cost us two runs. Grrrr.

  24. paradox13 says:

    Shades of Mo Vaughn running there.

  25. Professor Longnose says:

    Before the series I said I would be OK with a split, but to win the first two and then give away the next two on fielding will not make me happy.

  26. Phil C says:

    I know this is a gravy game, but I hate — do you hear me. I HATE — losing to these guys.

  27. Phil C says:

    On the lighter side. I think the Fly Fisherman’s Federation should sue MLB for discrimination because the only fish at the ASG are from the AL.

  28. Phil C says:

    10 pitch inning by Nova….Nice.

  29. Professor Longnose says:

    Who’s commercials are more embarrassing, Justin Verlander’s or Joe Mauer’s?

  30. Phil C says:

    I’d love to see some long, productive ABs here from the Yanks. They could get Lester out of the game this inning.

  31. Professor Longnose says:

    Is ESPN miking the wall? It sounds loud tonight when the ball hits off it.

  32. paradox13 says:

    I want to push our lead in the standings as much as possible, every team in the AL East is capable of going on a run. The entire division is at or over .500 in JULY! When has that ever happened in the AL East?

    • Professor Longnose says:

      That’s an interesting question. I have no idea. The last few years, Baltimore’s been crappy, so it hasn’t been recently.

      • Phil C says:

        One thing that does not bode well for the O’s is that they have scored fewer runs than they’ve allowed. Of course Thome replace Johnson will help some on that.

  33. Professor Longnose says:

    It looked like that was catchable.

    Maybe not. I mean, it was catchable if someone happened to be standing under it, but on replay it was legitimately past Sweeney.

  34. Professor Longnose says:

    Hey, Swisher. I’m a big fan of yours. Do me a favor: GET THE DAMN RUN IN.

  35. Professor Longnose says:

    Or walk. That’s OK, too.

  36. Professor Longnose says:

    Good, leave Lester in. He’s not pitching well, he’s at 99 pitches, Jones has the advantage against a lefty, let’s have at him.

  37. paradox13 says:

    Do the Red Sox have a minimum quota of uniformed people who must have.moustaches? I see more of them there than anywhere it seems.

    And nice RBI!

  38. Phil C says:

    Andruw is hot, hot, hot. Good night Jon! Here comes the pen.

  39. Professor Longnose says:

    Nova won’t go much longer, but Lester cracked first, and Nova actually pitched very well, given the two errors.

    Line score only has one error. Did they give someone a hit on that Jeter bobble?

  40. smurfy says:

    Nixy almost wrapped the Pesky Pole.

  41. paradox13 says:

    Things you will not see at the Stadium. The wave when the Yankees are losing to the Red Sox.

  42. Phil C says:

    Ciriaco now batting .583!

  43. Phil C says:

    DP’s help with the pitch count.

  44. Professor Longnose says:

    What’s the win expectancy right now? Anyone know?

  45. Phil C says:

    RANT: I do not like the extra WC team. And I further dislike how it will operate this year. For example: Yanks win division. O’s play Angels in LA. Yanks have to wait in NY for the winner. If LA wins Yanks have long flight on short notice.

  46. paradox13 says:

    Wow, just realized no Mo at the ASG. And lucky hit Derek. Has Derek been coughing a lot in this game? Ever time they show him it seems has has to cough.

  47. Phil C says:

    Gotta love that chanting.

  48. Phil C says:

    I love how these announcers keep trying to make the Yankee HRs sound like a weakness or problem.

  49. smurfy says:

    Nova! Dandy curves that they just waved at.

  50. Phil C says:

    Nova finished 6. Good job tonight.

  51. Phil C says:

    Every time I hear Justin Upton is on the market I tend to drool.

  52. Professor Longnose says:

    Jones! Hell of a series.

  53. smurfy says:

    love that sound, Andruw: victory!

  54. Phil C says:

    WOW!! 4 HRs in 2 days, 3 games.

  55. Phil C says:

    Jones is definitely the MVP of this series.

  56. Professor Longnose says:

    I predict that Andruw Jones will have a pleasant, relaxing all-star break, and Bobby Valentine won’t.

  57. Phil C says:

    I want a no drama pen tonight.

  58. Phil C says:

    No matter what the score Girardi should use Robertson & Soriano.

    • Professor Longnose says:

      They need 9 outs. That’s a lot of pen.

      • Phil C says:

        I didn’t mean right now. For 8th & 9th. Just meant since there are 4 days off no reason NOT to pitch them.

        • Professor Longnose says:

          Yeah, I knew what you were saying. I didn’t think you meant those two had to pitch the whole three innings. Just saying that there were a lot of outs to get.

  59. Romney 2012 says:

    I think I’ll chose Andruw Jones for my VP so that I can carry New York.

  60. smurfy says:

    Umpire didn’t HAVE a strike zone.

  61. Phil C says:

    4 pitch, lead off walk. So much for no drama.

  62. Professor Longnose says:

    Walking the number 9 guy to open an inning. Yuck.

  63. Professor Longnose says:

    Forget the pitching coach. Get this guy out of there.

  64. Phil C says:

    First free outs, now free base runners. Where’s the rollaids?

  65. Phil C says:

    Weird, but Rapada has been pitching better than Logan.

  66. Professor Longnose says:

    Got the Papi!

  67. Phil C says:

    Nice job vs Ortiz.

  68. smurfy says:

    I think Joe gets kickbacks on all the extra commercials.

  69. smurfy says:

    all gone. Sorry red sox.

  70. Professor Longnose says:

    Yes! We survived Eppley!

  71. Phil C says:

    Do y’all know if there will be Game Threads for the Derby and ASG?

  72. Professor Longnose says:

    Maybe one of the YA guys will read this and put in open threads.

  73. Phil C says:

    Maybe this Ciriaco will Wally Pipp Pedroia.

    • smurfy says:

      think they’d more likely slide him to short. Aviles could assume the unwilling utility player pos.

  74. Professor Longnose says:

    Packing it in early. Good night.

  75. Phil C says:

    Free Bases, Free Bases. Get yer free bases.

  76. smurfy says:

    Don’t like Robertson’s walks either. Over the break, let’s hope he reboots.

  77. Phil C says:

    Damn! Just Damn.

  78. Phil C says:

    Wheeeeeeeeeew!

  79. smurfy says:

    tsk, tsk, needless worry. That’s what walks are good for. Except big sloppy ones.

  80. Phil C says:

    Smurfy, did you see where Grienke may become the first pitcher since 1917 to start three straight games?

  81. smurfy says:

    They re-showed Eric Chavez doing that flip-boom after Andruw’s homer. Love it.

  82. smurfy says:

    wow, what a show, Cano! That ball flight was beautiful.

  83. Phil C says:

    Three outs to go and the Yanks will be 5-1 in Fenway this year.

  84. Phil C says:

    5 walks by Yankee relievers in 2+ innings.

  85. Phil C says:

    Thank you. Swung at ball 4.

  86. smurfy says:

    I feel like there are 10 players for the RedSox, counting espn.

  87. Phil C says:

    Oh no. Another walk.

  88. Phil C says:

    Looked like ball 4 that Ross swung at.

  89. smurfy says:

    Whew, let’s swear off reliever walks!

  90. Phil C says:

    3 K’s all on balls our of the zone!

  91. Phil C says:

    I’m off to bed. Chat at ya tomorrow for the Derby.

  92. smurfy says:

    Hey, Phil. You chatting now?
