Apologies to Chuck Willis
Cano is having a great season (9th in AL in OPS, 6th in SLG%, and 2nd in WAR), but he needs to break out of his mini slump and come up big in this series.
Weird 1st inning for CC. 3 Ks, 1 BB, 24 pitches. FB at 90/91.
After CC throws 24 pitches, what were Jeter & Swisher thinking both swinging at the first pitch? So Parker has a 7 pitch inning!
CC matches Parker!
This is a big test for the Yankees. They have to be able to beat good teams.
Do you know why Crispy & Weeks aren’t playing?
Isn’t Weeks injured? Think I heard something about that.
By the way, I like the fact that it’s a take home test!
Ichiro planned that.
LOL……Itchy with a hit to the pitchers uniform!!!!!!!!!!
An in-fold hit.
Very good.
Finally, a non-wardrobe hit!
I’m rooting for Lung Disease to stay in the race enough to make the last three games of the season important.
Personally, I like boring. I’d love the Yanks to be able to rest players those last 3 games.
Sure, but the odds of that happening aren’t great, and the O’s might as well not have it easy.
Lung Disease is destroying our Frozen Cousins 7-0 in bot 3rd!
The Frozen Cousins look like they’ve given up.
I hope their winter hibernation has started early.
Yanks scratch out a run w/o Itchy!
5th inning is around when CC usually starts having problems.
Not tonight. No way, no how.
He sure is looking good.
Uh-oh. Maybe it was the 6th inning.
No worries, be sappy!
Damn, he lost the no-hitter!
Cowgill….is that a mammal or a fish?
Didn’t he have a couple of hits in the 60s?
Went 2-45 for the Dodgers.
Cross species miscegenation!
Heart of the order coming up for the A’s. CC must shut them down.
Only at 79 pitches, too.
CC’s laboring a little here.
CC wants to be the Ace again.
I’d love to see CC get a CG win tonight.
He could do it. Have to be efficient with the pitches.
Noonie flashes the glove!
Biggest inning of the season for the Big Man.
Sure is and there is no margin for error.
No one warming? Kind of crazy.
Most of the relievers have been used so often they’re probably already loose.
Baseball: the most suspenseful sport.
Damn. That could hurt.
Damn, I’ve never seen a Cowgill run like that before!
I guess he needed to charge the ball, and he didn’t.
Phew!!
Wheeeeew!
Made CC throw extra pitches. Do you think he comes out for the 9th?
I doubt it. He has struggled a little with his control and already at 113 pitches. I bet it’s Sori for the save.
Tonight was a Texas Hold-em night for CC because he sure was dealing!
great analogy. Except exceptional defense, Ichiro, Nuney; pretty dam good Grandy and Cano.
I saw that McD’s sign for Romney behind home plate. “Get your Mitts on one.”
ur two sensitive
I’m so sensitive that sometimes I’m three sensitive.
Noonie runny!
Noonie safey!
Noonie stuckie there.
you mean, “happy feet”
you mean, “happy feet” except for slow bouncers
Showin’ up kinda late, ain’tcha, smurfy?
too late?
didn’t know the rule.
well, there you go. Brandon Moss heard that.
Gulp.
BLEEP!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! S#&T!!!!!!!!!!
I hereby nominate Russell for the Mojo award.
see? It’s a new game. I’m not late.
Yeah, but the Yanks were winning before you joined. Therefore, it’s all your fault.
yeah, yeah, yeah. I know criticism, how it works. Unhappy, but don’t be a sap. Better to go down bitter, than to hope in vain.
Martin just blew the Mojo award!
gotts stick your mo out, jo.
BLEEP!!
Clever use of a 2nd ! to overcome the no duplicate posts rule.
I clearly escaped outta the first, trying to break the database.
Get Sori out before we’re all sorry.
Siiiiiiigggggghhhhhhhh!!!!
BLEEP!
And yet another clever move! You’re on a roll.
Swisher will end this game!
I don’t want him overswinging.
Cano will end this game!
A-Rod will NOT end this game!
Granderson will.
Are you absolutely certain?
Two walkoff wins all year…that’s bad.
Absotoothly!
So, what’s the rule about praising or lusting after opposing pitchers? Doolittle done plenty, but Parker was the shitz.
except for that one inning they figured on his changeup, or it quit diving.
Up against the wall, pal, and keep your hands where I can see them.
watch my crotch, I’ve got a trick derringer, copper. I mean, Dick.
Dave, if it’s cool to refer to him that way, is throwing a nice fb tonight.
Pandering to get tickets to a game?
gosh, you’re the gestapo. The Creme de la Superiore. You gots some tix?
The last game I saw at the stadium was that classic play-off game where Brett hit 3 HRs off Catfish and the Yanks won on Munson’s HR into the bullpen.
musta been fine, old timer.
Martin has a chance to get his mojo back.
Oh no, I’m sure Martin will!
WALK-OF!! WALK-OFF!!!!
WAZOOOO!!!!!!
You missed your chance to predict that Martin would end the game.
well, I just did, in arrears.
oh, I’m too late. ok
I figured it wasn’t working so why jinx him.
D-Rob now has a save & a win in his last two games.
Chat y’all tomorrow!
See? You got to win twice tonight. You just gotta have your feelings intact. Eh, it feels like a loss with a scab win, when you put it so.
a hard fought duel. I must see Encore.
Yeah, overall worth it. But CC got cheated out of the win.
ah, he has to consider the eight inning shutout a downpayment on the w-w-w-World Series!?!
