TIQ IQ
Hmmh, neither the Professor nor Phil C? Either only my shiny nre PC made it past the database trap – oh, that was sweet! Robbie made a “nice lttle” flip play to first on the screamer between CC’s feet that he slowed or tried to, intercepting it behind second, still on a vigorous bounce, and flipped casually 95 feet with a monemtum-induced banana curve, smack to Tex.
Pip, pip, old boy!
Actually I fell asleep on the couch. Please tell me it isn’t a dream. Two first inning Yankee runs!!
First inning runs aren’t their problem. They’ve been losing their games in the late innings, with bad bullpen work and shutting down the offense.
Was that intentional by Sanchez? Hitting Cano for CC hitting Fielder.
Yeah, it was intentional. And it was hitting Cano for CC hitting Fielder for Sanchez hitting Teixeira.
and Fielder for Tex.
Any warnings issued?
Yes, they warned both teams after Sanchez hit Cano.
Cano steals second!!! I am dreaming.
Wow, Granderson is up with runners on! It’s amazing!
Damn, and to think he could have led off the game with that HR.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha…
And he hits one out! Just like it’s supposed to happen.
My, oh my, oooo. The Grandyman’s three run home run, that I haven’t felt for so long, does feel, and sound, mighty good.
They should take Suzuki out of a game at the last minute so that the headline could be “Itchy Scratched.”
hardy har
Nice one!!
okay, you can take that silly tissue off your head, Phil C.
Since I was asleep at the start pf the game, the tissue is resting on the arm of the couch.
I’ll be back in a few, Katie (she’s a lab) in sitting in the doorway staring at me.
I dunno if I would like to have Katie associate me with taking a dump.
Just a squat & squirt.
oh, shucks.
NOTE TO YANKEE PITCHERS: CC just demonstrated what a shut down inning is like.
Fibber McGehee doubles. Come on Molly, knock him in.
don’t worry Molly, Swishy got it.
OK, feeling better. But after that last run, they need to have a few good games to get back in the groove.
yeah, we gotta make such hitting a habit, so it comes naturally.
And pitching. I’m greedy, I want both at a high level.
but Kenny Singleton was worried about losing close games, and Jack Curry said a blowout win is not ideal. Maybe we have to blow a few innings just to make it exciting?
It’s easier to win one-run games when you can score runs.
Blow outs meaning not having to worry about close games. And Jack, it’s just W’s and L’s. Not ideal W’s and lucky W’s and L’s. (Oh, typing that made my head hurt.)
well, Jack certainly would not throw a good one away, but he wishes for the chance to erase doubts from recent losses by the Yanke proving they can clutch it.
you add up the columns in the end, but there is a ton of psychology involved in winning, even if we can’t add it along the way, at will as it were. if.
So Anibal, how do you like pitching in the AL?
me Anibal, me no like gettin’ smacked around.
Slap, slap. You enjoy it! Lots more coming.
I hope the Yanks score a ton of runs tonight and deplete the Tiger ‘pen.
Below pitched Grandy tough, good sliders. The Yanks are probably more vulnerable to lefties, with Grandy, Cano and Chavez potentially disadvantaged. Tex is stronger, but a slider lefty can be effective.
now that was a nice hit by Chavez. Straight as a wire.
Granderson up again with men on base. Didn’t come through, but you can’t come through every time. At least he’ll get more shots down in the order.
Maybe Giradi was batting Granderson lead off to protect his BA w/RISP.
Kenny was quite convinced that Curtis will get more opportunities, more fastballs as #1 or 2 than he does without the heavy hitters behind him.
Hmm. He might also get more fastballs with runners on base. I think this is worth a shot.
I don’t have a big problem batting him 2nd. There is some sense in what he said. But lead off is a waste. Jeter’s having a good year, but he’s not a big HR threat.
Granderson has 20 solo home runs this year. That’s a big waste of his home runs. I’d rather see him bat down in the order.
How about Jeter/Swisher/ Grandy/Tex/Cano…
Deal!
Me likee too.
Ichi was close to the right timing on that foul. His earlier hit was a sharp slap down the other line.
Damn, they went down 1,2,3….bench the bums.
The big man is pitching a big game.
Only 61 pitches through 5 innings. 44 for strikes.
I think the people controlling GameDay are Tiger fans. They have only one highlight posted and it’s Boesch’s RBI single.
Ridiculous. The highlight of this game is Granderson’s home run.
Finally the Yankees are playing a great game, we needed a great performance from NYCC
Yeah. Gotta love it when he’s the stopper.
Just what the doctor ordered for the Bombers.
Trivia question is who, a former Tiger catcher, caught Jim Abbott’s no hitter for the Yanks in 1993. Tigers had a great hitting longtime catcher… who was …
Lance Parrish?
that was the name that came to me, too. But he wasn’t a catcher, was he?
I thought he was, but now that you’ve suggested he might not be, I’m not sure.
in the 70′s and 80′s, the Tigers kept coming up with great players Cash, Trammell, think Parrish played left, lots of homers. Think they had a great catcher, but I’ll have to look it up later.
Or, maybe they answer the MetLife Trivia challenge.
Damn, the brain cell containing that information died.
Swish , or anybody, should keep going when he gets picked off. Saw a throw bounce off the pickee just today, on the highlights.
Yeah. Getting run down by Fielder looks bad.
hugged by the Michelin Man.
There is a resemblance.
Was Swish trying to steal?
yeah, two outs.
Ooo, I liked the authority, the pureness with which Tex smoked that one. Good things coming…
One more big knock, guys, just for laughs.
OK. I’m going to watch the beach volleyball finals. At least I know the USA will win the Gold. I’ll check back during commercials.
topless?
Pretty close. One team, awhile ago, was almost not allowed to play because the judges thought their bathing suits were too big.
I looked it up. Matt Nokes caught Abbott’s no-hitter. I should have thought of him. I remember him with the Yankees. He had a good year when he came from the Tigers, hit 30-something home runs.
EDIT: Nope, only 24 home runs.
thanks, at least we were justified in forgetting. Sorry I brought it up.
Parrish was a catcher–1818 games caught–but he never played for the Yankees.
remind me not to challenge you in a trivia contest. Only if I quailed and hit the buzzer before I thought more would I have had that. Parrish was a hitting force for several years.
And nothing wrong with Nokes, just was thinking it was a big star.
Oh GOD, Yankees!
7-3. What’s wrong with you guys. I left this game in your control. Now don’t let me down. (ELO!)
Beatles.
You’re right, ELO was Don’t Bring Me Down.
hunh? ELO =? Electric Light Orchestra?
-uh, did it again, Caqbrera just got the man to third.
And now the air is shattered by the force of Casey’s blow!
I think I saw the lefty pitcher flich, fake a pickoff throw to first. No balk?
First set, USA 21 vs. USA 15. Dodgers are going wild.
Yanks need watching: first Robbie, now Tex bobble on a stress situation.
Teixeira made an error a couple of games ago. The August heat must be getting to him.
This new error by Tex: the second hop took as turn toward second, extending Tex’s lunge into Robbie territory.
Really don’t like the hit off Dave, though. Not now, please.
Ruh-roh.
Dave ‘ll get ‘im.
ah, the tension’s good for them. Get the blood flowing.
Is it me or does any1 else feel like Sabathia is not pitching like an ace this year?
I think there’s a general consensus on that.
What’s up with Robertson?
pitching well, the Tigers have hit well and lucky.
I spit so much blood that inning I need a transfusion.
Guess Jack Curry got his wish. Now, the Yanks have another chance to enforce their will. Bring back Anibal.
Crosses fingers. Give me a hit of Coke. Opp, i meant they can hit Coke.
Let’s get Granderson up with more men on base.
Grandy has taken hell as a fielder since his big botch, but Swish’s hit and another short fly earlier, that Jackson let fall, Grandy would have had, I think.
Thank you, flubber arm!
Not a bad throw: this one fell more in your stated theory, Phil. Swish coulda been cut down, but it was a fair chance.
He might not have run on someone else.
Gotta love smart aggressiveness.
Teixeira is SUCH a different hitter from the right side.
yeah, his natural side.
May-Traenor/Walsh Jennings win. USA Gets Gold and Silver.
who was it had a tatoo above her..waist rubbed out?
I had to break out the rally tissue.
Thanks.
Chavez hanging tough.
how many two stike foul-offs? I guess six.
About that. Maybe more, but I wasn’t counting.
All right. Chavez gets it done.
Polish the turd, Grandy!
If they lose after scoring 10 runs I’ll scream.
you scream, I’ll scream, we’ll all scream for the lost mojo.
lol…..mojo ice cream!!
Ben and Jerry must have it.
Ugh……that’s all. I’m speechless, good thing I can still type.
Is Logan up in the ‘pen?
Woah! Dave challenged him, and he juuust missed. We’ll slide by and call that mojo.
That’s mojo.
I simply can’t help myself. I like the line on Coke…..1 IP, 3 H, 2 ER
not a bad analogy, Phil C. He seems to have more confidence than talent.
Whew, the Yankees better find whatever they had, and need, to keep focus on… I’d say the goal is 20 games better on the won/loss tally.
to be garnished later, if. 25 would be 96 wins, plenty for the division.
96 is 30 games over.
man, we better start a-runnin’. Yeah, 96/65=161.
Wow. Every Yankee starter had at least 1 hit and 6 with RBI
They can’t just have a nice, easy game, can they?
you better get a supply of True Blood.
The Rovers outslugged the Crimson Hose, 10-9.
The Istiophoridae have a slight lead on the Urbanites, 13-0.
Rovers, they must be another team like the Visitors. I asked Dad where the Visitors came from, when they were beating the Pale Hose. “The Washington Visitors?” – oh, the Rangers: did love to see the last innings. Will tied it up with a 3-run homer in the 8th. But “Ryan,” “Comeon, Ryan” couldn’t do it in the 9th. Ah, poor little kids in Boston.
is the istiophoridae of the pointy nose clan?
Now every Yankee playing tonight has a hit.
There’s your balk, smurfy!
but this guy didn’t flinch, or even try to fool anybody. Not my balk! I was complaining because the pitcher did a move patently unaccepted, yet they didn’t call it. Lefties get away with absolute murder.
They scored on a balk????? Sweeeeeeet!
The balk rule is so silly. There was no attempt to fake out a baserunner, no baserunner was going anywhere, there was no possibility of a play on the bases. So what difference does it make if the pitcher does what he did?
That having to come to a complete stop is crazy, especially since you could pitch from a windup if you wanted to. I think.
maybe somebody drove the runners crazy by fusting up his address/delivery timing, but so many innocents slaughtered.
Jeter was running all the way on that. They aren’t stopping for Dirks no matter where the ball is.
Tomorrow’s a day game, right? You guys be chatting? Fister v our Hiro.
I’ll be here depending on what NBC is carrying on the Olympics.
I didn’t know. Thanks for the info. I’ll probably be around.
Good for Dirks. My money was on Tex. Nice try, Texy.
all my love not fade away.
WOW!! Glad that’s over. Add a W.
All right. Not beautiful, but better than they’ve been doing.
See you all tomorrow.
Chat y’all tomorrow!
