Oh, Melky, Melky, Melky.
Kudos for Felix. Shame on Melky.
What’s the word on the game? LoHud Blog says forecast not great. Rangers TV said the game would be played.
They’re just saying not that the rain is starting to lighten up. The back end of the system is over Fort Lee, so rain should end around 8:00.
Thanks. I’ll keep checking for a start time on TV.
No score, O’s-Sockholes.
I called the Orioles the Gloryholes.
Tarp’s coming off.
8:45 start time
The Gloryholes vs the Sockholes…I like it.
8.45first pitch acc to espn
Sockholes took a 2-0 lead, and Cook is pitching a no-hitter through 5.
IRONY: After 1 1/2+ hour delay, they have to water down the infield prior to the game.
Both these pitchers can be hit. I expect (dare I say demand?) plenty of early runs for the Yankees.
Garcia has been doing much better pitching to Stewart, but I think Martin is catching today.
If Stewart caught Oki-san yesterday he would have given up negative hits!
Long rain delay = big strike zone by ump?
Whoa! Freddie looking good on that K.
Curtis has been dumped on so politely, I am glad to see him get a chance at 3.
If you rearrange the letters of “Curtis” you get “I Curst”. Coincidence? I think so!
It is one great old-timey name.
Curtis proved he’s funky: passed on strike 2, which was made for TV, and missed another.
OBLIGATORY ANNOUNCER BITCH: I hate it when announcers say things like, “If you take away that three run homer by Fielder he actually pitched a good game against Detroit.”
That way of thinking is pretty silly, although occasionally I see myself doing it and have to stop myself.
Nice throw by Chavvez. I didn’t think he would get him.
They running out of text poll questions (oh! could they?), when they ask you to pay std txt messaging rates to tell them whether boxing, concerts or whatever is better at YS. Oh, man, I GOTTA declare!
How about a text poll on taking text polls?
a reg-u-lation poll: NOT ON MY DIME!
The Sockholes coughed up 5 runs to the O’s in the 6th. 5-2 O’s.
I’d love to see the O’s lose, but just can’t root for the Evil Empire.
oh-cou-cou-NO!
Great infield work. I loved Swish’s impersonation of Tex.
he does well over there.
By the way, Phil C., they didn’t give the text poll response yesterday till well after the game was over (it was 9, not YES). Bernie won, with 39% of the crowd wanting his number retired. Posada and O’Neill were second and third at 25% and 24%, and Torre was last at 12%.
Thanks
well, if the 12% is just, then a GM number sb retired.
Raul with the sweet, pure hit.
Idiots, I’m listening to idiots. The play-byplay guy said Ibanez was brought in after Gardner went down.
Maybe it was a comment on Gardner’s sex life.
Come on, Martin, big knock.
Com on, Suzuki, big knock.
Ichi is an interesting at-bat, to me, but alas, hit sharply to second. That’s not so durn interesting.
Professor, haven’t you learned yet? These guys respond better to your doubts & insults.
Hey, Garcia! Shut ‘em down, you dumb schmuck!
how could you stand yeself?
Phil told me to.
See, it worked!
Once, twice, three times a slider. Too much squatting blurring the rookie of the year’s vision?
Love that defense. Pure antidote to smacked balls.
Hey, Jeter, you ever hear of an RBI, you loser?
Close.
Hold it there, Nixy, you pixey. Jete is not desparate, despite the Perfessor.
Hey, Swisher, at least your usual double play might get a run in!
Keep them insults coming, you’re on a roll.
Hey, Granderson, the bases aren’t empty so you can’t hit a homer. But how about a single for once?
do you mind how much We hate you?
Sorry. But it’s the only way they score runs.
we hopes we understand…but this latent tendency, just when do you first remember mommy?
Well, if it isn’t Mark “Hit ‘Em Where They Is” Teixeira.
Hey, Mark, a blowfish called. He wants his face back.
hey, that was after he struck out. You enjoyed that.
Yeah, I confess. I love that face he makes when he hits the ball.
my favorite is when he’s imitating a Mack truck, rounding third. (Look out, catcher.)
Three runs. Not so bad.
shewww, critics.
Thanks for the three runs, Time for a shut down inning.
be reasonable: gives up one, it’s a great deal.
You let them have that run!
but I am unconflicted. Big advantage.
but that is all I will admit.
Nice, Nix!
Ouch, and he missed that other one so completely.
Grrr. Should have taken the sure out.
ambition squelched.
wow! Swish gives a flourish to that toe tag.
That’s gonna wind up on Sports Center.
Maybe even Dr. Scholls
It’s a game of inches. And toes.
Ranger Trivia question: Name the Texas university that once owned Yankee Stadium. I haven’t a clue.
Must be either Texas Christian, some crazy Frazee convert, or Rice, goes with anything.
I didn’t know one did.
Probably a trick question. They think Texas owns everything.
Barbeck U.
High socks of glory.
ah, fritzin holes in the air. Swish is really an unfortunate sound, when you put it like that.
Will 3 runs be enough to win this game, or do they need more?
They’ll need more, me thinks.
smurphy wins. It was Rice, 1962-1971.
How did they come to own Yankee Stadium?
Haven’t a clue.
it’s all about rich guys.
John Williams Cox,a Rice alumnus, bought it in 1955. Gave the grounds to the Knights of Columbus and left the stadium to the Uni. In 1971 NYC used eminent domain to take it over.
they seized it?
wow, the first thing I ever done won. Feels great, but wait…
The Powerball lottery tonight is $320 million. If I win the whole jackpot, I’ll pay for you and Phil C. to meet me for a game at Yankee Stadium.
I won a lottery once. Unfortunately it gave me a low draft number in 1971.
har! I won that one, too! 86, my lucky number.
out a sight! Can you bring a million for each of us? Man, I’d -
Will you settle for a hot dog?
They’re less than a mill at the stadium?
yeah, I’ll bless you, but $320. Can’t you spare a dime?

That’s cool.
is
Professor, get your doubts & insults ready for either the bottom of the 6th or 7th.
It will be hard. I’m such a nice guy.
ah, you can fake it.
&%@#$ RUNS NOW!!
Two outs before I had a chance to warm up my insults.
Save em for the next inning
Damn double damn play
Come on, Jeter, you bum!
well, who’s for Joba?
Garcia’s got one more inning in him, especially since Hamilton isn’t due up.
didn’t he hit it rather well last time? -oh, isn’t. Sorry.
I’ve felt Murphy’s fire, but not this time, inded.
That’s why I correct my is to isn’t
inded.
I’m basically a peaceful person. But I’m so tired of these announcers whining about how weakly hit the Yankee hits were that I now want to kill, KILL, KILL!!!
Whiners.
Whiny, whine, whiners.
Only Kate Smith can shut them up.
and they call themselves Texans.
they resented Swish’s bloop, so expertly placed. Kinda like Sciriaco’s, I recall frustratedly.
Freddie did the job.
He surely did. A real nice outing. Now let’s win one for the Freder.
Yay! Freddie! Way to go, old warrior.
One more half inning and then I’m going to have to pack it in.
You can’t go without getting them more runs!
I’ll do my best.
yeah, it’s getting late. I have found that I cannot sleep past dawn by much. Maybe I can learn to work for bed.
It’s earlier here and dawn’s later. Still, I might not make it all the way to the end.
Hey, Swisher! I keep forgetting how much of a choke artist you are! Why don’t you show me?
couldn’t hear: had his fingers in his ears all the way to 1st.
.235? Nice batting average, Granderson. How’d you learn to hit, a correspondence course?
lol….but isn’t that the write way to do it?
Ha!
Hey, Teixeira, now you can stink from both sides of the plate in the same game!
Easy!@ I wear eau de you.Shut your sockhole.
The Ranger’s favorite cologne, eau de Yu
I can’t insult Chavez. He’s been great lately.
6 consecutive multi-hit games. Your strategy worked!
due hoo
Ibanez has his OBP up to .315.
I was at a Cubs game with a live wire, who had Willie Stargell leaning into the stands (rare behind the on deck ). I was telling him, “No, Willie, you’re great. He’s full of shit.” Intimidated from 20 feet.
What I wouldn’t give for Martin to hit a blooper that scores two.
hit it too honestly
Dang. I thought Martin had gotten a hit.
Oh, well. They’ll have to hang on without me. Good night.
good night, rude leader
Well, you accounted for the three they got. Sweat dreams.
Up to Robertson and Sori
Kinsler explains that he doesn’t like striking out.
He now can think about it in the club house.
Robertson, no muss, just a little fuss.
Some scout earned his salary by drafting him.
yeah, good eye
WOW! A bunt single. I love it.
ow, Jete’s stunk.
Ranger announcers are in pig heaven.
Live by the bunt, die by the bunt.
Sori don’t make us sorry.
sheiss, good defense. Swish hit that well.
Nice pitch to get the K
Wheeew!!
Jus’ like Kinsler last night.
Damn!!!
slo mo says he’s out!
Really? Not shown here.
oh, yeah. Swish’s toe did it’s duty. Had him by a step, of course.
YES!!! Two 1 one wins in a row.
Justice is done.
Chat y’all tomorrow.
