Game Thread: A’s vs Yankees, Sunday September 23
Today’s game almost seems like a formality after yesterday’s marathon of come backs and tension. But that’s the beauty of baseball. They do this everyday. The Yankees used every pitcher they have yesterday, so the team needs to give them some length, desperately. The A’s will counter with . The Yankees have also quietly turned a page. They’ve won seven in a row and are 9-1 over their last ten. Unfortunately, Baltimore is right their with them, just a game behind. Enjoy.

I’m glad there’s a game today. There wasn’t enough baseball yesterday.
Hey Professor. Did you see LoHud’s lineup. Apparently the Yanks are so worried about Nunez’s defense both he & Jeter are playing SS.
That might work: combine Nunez’s range with Jeter’s hands.
Now playing SS, Number 226, Ederek Jetez, number 226.
Sweet!
NOTE TO NY YANKEES: Okay guys, we get it. Revenge is sweet! As fans we loved the last two walk-offs against the A’s. But our nerves are shot. Why not just score early and often and make this game a blow out. It can save the relievers too.
NOTE TO MELKY MESA: Many Yankee fans would love to see you become The Melk Man II. Just remember that PED’s will NOT help you locate 3rd base.
Hey, Kuroda, if the Yankees lose today, it is a national disgrace for Japan.
Come on, Kuroda, get it together.
Me no likee this inning!
Could have been worse, although I hate giving up runs on wild pitches.
Hell, admit it you just hate giving up runs.
I admit it! I admit it!
That inning had “DISASTER” written all over it!
Now it needs a new label.
Just blacken it out with some dirt.
That’s a really bad call.
Need to slap that call upside the head! That two the umps owe the Yanks.
Damn, he was OUT!
Sigh.
That even looked like a good pitch, sinking down and away.
Before the series started I felt winning 2 of 3 would be good. But I hate, I mean REALLY HATE, losing the last game of a series.
Did I mention that I hate when that happens?
Admit it. You hate losing any games.
Well, sure.
Come on Yankee batters, time for a shut up inning!
TBS FACTOID: The Yankees have 11 sac bunts in Sept, most in AL.
WORDS OF TRITENESS: Ron Darling, “You show me a team with a lot of home runs and I’ll show you a team of pull hitters.”
How ’bout them umpires? Seem to be rooting for the underdogs.
Speed of lightning, roar of thunder,
Fighting all who rob or plunder
Underdog, Underdog.
Don’t worry Oakie Nell, I’ll save you from those bullies!
It’s Underump!
I loved that show.
I was always a Chip ‘n Dale kid!
that was the Rockie & Bullwinkle studio, wasn’t it, Sherman?
Disney!
not Chip ‘n’ Dale (tho they were extra good).
Hey Alex, if you’re just going to watch, but a ticket, you can afford it.
Now we’re back to begging them to score a run.
And it worked!
Damn, hadn’t tried that before! Good thinking.
RISP hits, anyone?
They’re already 1-1.
deux per deux
Raul says Rispy? Sounds delicious!
Ibanez is HOT HOT HOT!
Tabasco Ibanez
This is what the lineup is supposed to do. No one expects Ibanez to have a great season, or Ichiro, or Martin. But they need a couple guys to be hot at any one time. For a whole month, everyone was stone cold. But now, Martin, Ichiro, Ibanez are taking turns being hot.
And the Jeet goes on!
Sorry Sonny and Cher
they’re all smolderin’. just waiting for the right breath of wind…
I like 4-run rallies.
Oki-san, throw your DP pitch right now!
I beg of you, Oki-san.
That was very impolite of you to allow that hit!
TBS FACTOID: Centipede, Cespedes, whatever, is batting .347 RISP, 8th in the AL
Damn. Kuroda doesn’t have it.
It appears that his pitches sometimes have too much movement. Trouble finding Russell’s glove.
Big hitter. If Kuroda goes 5 and leaves with the game tied, I won’t hold him responsible for the state of society.
I doubt he’ll leave the game. Girardi wants INNINGS!
He’s pitching alternatively wicked and lame. He’s only thrown 80, betcha he goes thru 7 (with odds, thanks).
Loved Gomes, the gorilla, grunting as he hit first, all abashed.
Red Sucks take 1-0 lead.
Little Gulps have a double header today, I hope that wears out their pitching staff.
oh, please: whoever are the Little Gulps? the Sips, from Mississippi?
Mini Soda
ho, jeez! High, stinking, jeez!
You must have missed it yesterday when I asked who Mayor Bloomberg’s favorite team was.
I remember the question, but not the answer. Probably wiped it frommemory to avoid damage.
Don’t stop now, guys. Keep pounding!
rallyus interruptus
Don’t be grim, Griffin. Underump helped as much as he could (get away with).
Oh bird shit, now 1-1 in Beantown.
Underump: that was for Griffin, Swish.
Even Smoltz said that was a ball to Swish.
Granderson hanging in there.
Granderson hung out to dry.
He sucks. the strikeouts are starting to bug me.
Needs another Kevin Long intervention.
Lung Disease proving hard to eradicate. Lead our Frozen Cousins 1-0 in bot 6th.
Geez, Nunez…stop that already.
Remind me to never be in the same room with Nunez if he starts playing darts.
‘specially don’t spin him first
He done Hiro in.
Shouldn’t have let Kuroda stay in.
This is turning into a tragedy of errors.
To quote Yogi, “We made too many wrong mistakes.”
Yogi Bear said that? That was good, boo boo.
Have some laughs:
http://listverse.com/2011/04/13/25-funny-quotes-of-yogi-berra/
The future ain’t what it used to be.
My favorite one was Yogi telling his wife to surprise him on where he’s buried. LMFAO
Raul’s so cool that unlike Eastwood, he don’t talk to no stool
All right, somebody, pound one.
A’s give back. Now we need more RISP hits.
Phleps is back!
Glad to see him. But I hope Nunez hasn’t already lost the game.
Where the hell are those darts, I want to throw them at Nunez.
Isn’t that an infield fly? The YES guys never tell you if the infield fly rule is called.
It must have been, but TBS was mum as well.
You know what else they don’t tell you? They have a forecast or two at game time, wind is 12 mph. Might be nice to know which way its blowing, like to rightfield, not just wsw.
You don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows. Bob Dylan
like a rolling stone
I know which way I’m goin’
straight downhill, ‘lessen I bounce first
You don’t need a YES announcer to know that Nunez can’t field.
One of my favorite Dylan lines:
Sitting on the pavement
Thinking about the government
Man in a trench coat
Wants an 11 dollar bill
You only got 10
Lookout kid
It’s something you did
Don’t know when
But you’re doing it again
Yeah, I love the song, and Dylan in general.
A-Rod avoids, for now, the Golden Sombrero.
Michael Kay is complaining that the fans are booing him.
The fans should boo Kay
CAESAR’S SPORTS UPDATE: Bostonius II, Baltimorious I, bottom of the VIII
Is this game over? ‘Cause I gotta go mow the grass.
Let it grow, let it grow, let it grow!
put your Roomba in the seat of the John Deere, and let her go.
I interpret this Dylan lyric as a summary of a typical baseball season:
The priest wore black on the seventh day
And sat stone-faced while a building burned
I waited for you on the running board
‘Neath the cypress trees while the springtime turned
Slowly into autumn
lol…..never thought of that
Top 9, 2-1 Sockholes, no one on, no one out.
One out, no one on in Boston.
One out, runner on first in Boston.
Shit! Second and third, one out in Boston.
Bases loaded in Boston.
Stop them NOW!!
You did. Thank You almighty Professor.
Now make the Yankees win today.
Tall order.
Martin had like a billion chances to win the game yesterday.
Force out at home. two out, bases still loaded, 2-1 Sockholes, in Boston.
O’s lose!
And don’t you believe we’re on the edge of destruction?
Because we were rooting for the Red Sluts.
Just noticed, that was supposed to eve of destruction
C-Dick run!
C-Dick score! PLEASE? Pretty please? Actually, if can be an ugly please.
Is Rapada Doolittle’s hero?
They HAVE to score this run.
Nunie funie
Come Yanks, I know you’ve all seen the score board. This is a chance to pull another game ahead of the peckers.
Little Gulps beat the Kitties. Helps out the other colored socks.
Root for the Rays to get back in the wild card hunt. We need them to take those last three games of the season against the Orioles seriously.
Into each life a ray of sunshine will fall.
Besides the owe the Yanks big time for last year.
Lung Disease won again, 3-0
The Agenda for the bottom of the 9th:
Bloop.
Blast.
Celebrate.
walk, whack, win!
Nicely phrased.
OK. I’ll go with your plan!
Balfour will blow this save. He’s saved 12 straight, so 13 is the jinx!
Besides, I just sacrificed a chicken.
Come on, Ichi, get that walk!
Dang.
Double dang!
An infinity of dangness.
I’d hate to be your lawn right about now.
Dag nabbit
ding dong dagnabbit.
Let’s hope the Yanks can have a big gulp of Mini Soda starting tomorrow. Three of them.
My dog has decided it’s time for her walk. Chat y’all tomorrow.
