    Got a beat-up glove, a homemade bat, and brand-new pair of shoes;
    You know I think it’s time to give this game a ride.
    Just to hit the ball and touch ‘em all – a moment in the sun;
    (pop) It’s gone and you can tell that one goodbye!

    Oh, put me in, Coach – I’m ready to play today;
    Put me in, Coach – I’m ready to play today;
    Look at me, I can be Centerfield.

    Hope it inspires the Yanks!

    Billy, we hardly knew ya
    When that grounder rolled right through ya;
    It was like a curse was cast from high above.
    Your knees were bent, your legs apart,
    Your aging back wouldn’t bend that far,
    As our pennant dreams went dribbling past your glove.

    Gene Stamil

    (Historically innaccurate, but so be it.)

  3. Phil C says:

    Someone should remind Cano, first of all with 2 outs HIT!. Second, you don’t know how to bunt.

  4. Phil C says:

    Hughes is dominating the righties, but those 2 lefties sure hit him hard. The way the Yanks aren’t hitting he can’t afford to do that much.

  5. Phil C says:

    By the end of this series the Toronto starters are going to think they’re Cy Young candidates.

  6. Professor Longnose says:

    Nice! I love when the Yankees throw out guys trying to steal.

  7. Phil C says:

    Nice throw getting him at third!

  8. Phil C says:

    Hughes is really struggling this inning.

  9. Phil C says:

    Officially and ugly inning!

  10. Professor Longnose says:

    This is ugly.

  11. Phil C says:

    I don’t like the look on Hughes’ face or his body language.

  12. Professor Longnose says:

    That would have been a big strikeout if the Yankees were capable of scoring 3 runs.

  13. Professor Longnose says:

    Ichiro is just HOT.

  14. Professor Longnose says:

    Here’s a trivia question I just made up. What single-season major league record for hitters was broken in each of the following years?

    1938
    1956
    1961
    1962
    1963
    1970
    2004
    2008
    2009

  15. Professor Longnose says:

    Aw, Swish!

  16. Phil C says:

    That’s the fastest I’ve seen A-Rod in awhile!

  17. roadrider says:

    Is Moises Sierra the love child of Moises Alou and Reuben Sierra?

  18. Phil C says:

    My computer speakers don’t work, what was t hat mound conference about?

  19. Phil C says:

    A 4 K inning….nice. But damn, Hughes’ FB is all over the place. I guess that’s better than when it had no movement.

  20. Professor Longnose says:

    Lots of pitches, working walks…they just gotta get some RISP hits.

  21. Professor Longnose says:

    I love delayed steals! (When the Yankees do them.)

  22. Phil C says:

    Russell with a throw-em-out and a steal. The Martin taketh away and takeths.

  23. Professor Longnose says:

    I also love errors when the other teams make them.

  24. Professor Longnose says:

    Bases loaded…kiss of death.

    Kiss of death vs Sushiman.

  25. Professor Longnose says:

    Michael Kay just said Ichiro’s batting average with the Yankees went up 29 points yesterday, to .317.

  26. Professor Longnose says:

    An extra-base hit with the bases loaded. That’s the Yankees I know and love.

  27. Professor Longnose says:

    Laffey was over 80 pitches with no out in the 4th.

  28. Phil C says:

    Sushiman 2, Kiss of Death 0.

  29. Professor Longnose says:

    More! More! I’m still not satisfied!

    –Tom Lehrer

  30. Professor Longnose says:

    All right, Swisher, none of this baloney, lousy swings, taking called third strikes. Just relax and be the old Nick.

  31. Professor Longnose says:

    That’s it, Nick! Slammo.

  32. Phil C says:

    In honor of the Scooter, “Holy Cow!”

  33. Phil C says:

    That might be a season high 3 consecutive hits w/RISP!

    Gotta love the scoring line 8-4-0

  34. Professor Longnose says:

    Singleton: “Right off a Wheaties box, that swing.”

  35. Phil C says:

    Frigging Hughes.

  36. Phil C says:

    Now that was entertainment!

  37. Professor Longnose says:

    Singleton: “That had enough air time for anybody in the stadium to catch.”

  38. Professor Longnose says:

    Unproductive out.

  39. Phil C says:

    Now batting: The beast that ate Toronto!

  40. Professor Longnose says:

    RISP hits. Love ‘em!

  41. Professor Longnose says:

    Trivia answer: Strikeouts in a season. The ’38 record was set by Vince DiMaggio.

  42. Phil C says:

    A Hoagie ribbie!

  43. Phil C says:

    The Captain in Crunch time!

  44. Professor Longnose says:

    Hey, Phil, you spend a lot of time on FB? Send me an e-mail at grammarian at mindspring and I’ll give you my FB name. (But be warned. Right now I post a lot of Godless Anti-American Liberal politics.)

  45. Phil C says:

    This is only the 2nd time the Yanks has scored in double digits since Aug 10th.

  46. Phil C says:

    Martin’s a sieve tonight.

  47. Phil C says:

    I love it, Martin had a productive K as Granderson took 2nd.

    He’s batting, meant A-Rod.

  48. Professor Longnose says:

    Slow game.

  49. Phil C says:

    More Dick & Jane stories to come. Oh, and I shouldn’t forget Spot.

  50. Phil C says:

    2 straight outs? Itchy is in a slump.

  51. Phil C says:

    Uh, oh!

  52. Phil C says:

    Down 4-1 in bot 9th, Lung Disease has tied the Red Sucks.

  53. Professor Longnose says:

    Database errors kicked me off the site.

  54. Professor Longnose says:

    Eradicate Lung Disease!

  55. Professor Longnose says:

    I think I’m going to hit the hay. See you tomorrow.

  56. Phil C says:

    Almost typical night for Martin, 0-3, with 2 walks.

  57. Phil C says:

    Chat at ya then Professor.
