Its been a long time since the Sox were this far back on this late a date. The manager is getting heat from his two best players, Beckett and Lester can’t get anyone out, Big Papi is hurt, and they’re maxed out financially so there doesn’t appear to be any major moves on the horizon. The team resembles the mess that it was when the Henry group took over, and it looks like Theo knew when to bail. Its so bad I almost feel sor..nah, who am I kidding.
Here’s your lineup from Yankee PR:
1-Jeter DH
2-Swisher 1B
3-Cano 2B
4-Jones RF
5-McGehee 3B
6-Granderson CF
7-Martin C
8-Nix SS
9-Ichiro LF
With rookie David Phelps getting the long-awaited (by everyone who doesn’t like Freddy Garcia) start on the mound. GO YANKS!!!!!

I like Freddie, but still want to see Phelps become a solid member of the rotation.
Ugh. I took Katie for her walk (it looks & sounds like we’re about to get a storm) and come back and find out on GameDay that Phelps gave up a 2-out 2-run HR. Dag nabit.
To Gonzalez. I hate him.
Is it really necessary that when you name a Red Sluts player that you also say you hate him?
Eh, I achieve indifference toward a few. And guys like Bobby Valentine are just too bozoid to work up any hate. I’m too busy laughing at them.
Come on Yanks, how about a shut-UP inning to Lester!
Two on, no out. Don’t waste this opportunity. Get to Lester right away.
Oh, well. I guess they’re going with the late-inning thing. Unless they go with the suck-on-Fox thing.
A ray of hope then, in Houston Fox is showing the Pirates-Cardinals game.
Can they be good over there while they suck over here?
No, but since they’re not on FOX here they can’t suck.
If Phelps can shut down the Red Sucks offense and complete 5 innings, you may get your wish. Lowe relieves Phelps and the Yankees offense does it’s late inning magic.
Lately, they’ve really have been doing the late-inning magic. For a while, they had lost it.
And they’ve been RISPing the hell out of the ball last month.
BA RISP since AS break……326!
The problem is that over that time they’re only 19-15….. .559
Lester’s thrown 21 balls & 21 strikes. They should be getting deeper into counts and swinging at better pitches.
They’ve got too many guys who aren’t into the deep count thing–Jones, Ichiro.
Those two were never patient in the batter’s box. It’s amazing how successful they were.
Is Phelps pitching as good as it appears from reading GameDay?
Since the first inning, yeah. He looks good.
Another solo homer for Granderson. Amazing.
6 by the Yanks in 2 games! Are they after some kind of record?
Why the hell can’t they get Ciriaco out??
That Ciriaco guy (Is he related to the I-phone voice?) is absolutely killing Yankee pitching. I bet be plays every game against the Yanks from hereon out.
Jeter and Mays, Jeter and Mays–Yeah? Well Mays would get a hit here!
They keep chopping grounders to short and third. They are just not doing it right.
They’re setting a trap for Red Stumps. Lull them to sleep and then pounce in the 7th & 8th innings.
I hope so. They look terrible. And Lester hasn’t looked all that great.
Un-effing-believable! Three hits! What 2 yesterday?
The Fox guys keep talking about his average in Fox games. Now 11 for 14.
Good, he can replace McCarver!
Looks like Phelps went too deep into the game to bring in Lowe.
Well, good. Phelps threw a decent game.
Leadoff double. OK, this time they can’t wsate it. Let’s go, 7th inning magic!
Granderson with balls on that play!
Wasted it anyway. Back to the old RISP fail.
0 fer 9 today. So far.
Lester has been disgustingly good. Despite the high ratio of balls, he’s walked only two. He’s been missing down. His cutter has brought all those bouncers to 3rd, where Punto has been excellent.
He may have walked only two because the Yankees have been hacking instead of working the count.
Bet the cutter is the culprit. They swing at a strike, looks like a fastball, and…
They can let ‘em go, but only on a guess.
Even if so, they’d have been guessing right a lot of the time. Lester doesn’t have his control.
They just showed a bizarre State Farm Insurance commercial with Andre Dawson. Anyone seen it?
oh, yeah. “What year is it?” Dumb, but any excuse to see Andre and hear his voice.
It’s been on a LOT here.
It’s probably been on here, too, but I don’t pay much attention to the commercials. I usually use that time to red Overthemonster.co or fivethirtyeight.com or something.
should be showing it in Chicagoland primarily.
I mute most commercials. Just noticed the Revel Resorts beauties dance no more. The Explorer ad that’s been running is just video game scenes and a rocking tune. I can take that.
Gameday has been causing Explorer 9 to shut down the tab, twice now. Ever have that happen?
No, but I rarely use Explorer. I’ve got both Chrome and Firefox.
A couple of years ago I was having major problems like that with Explorer and switched to Firefox. Significantly fewer problems now.
surprising, since they’re both overlays to Explorer. If it keeps up, I’ll start using Chrome, I liked that the first half of the year: handy and loaded pages quicker than EX or Ffox.
That was a short outing for Bailey.
The lefty worked on Cano. Bailey didn’t work on Swish. Sure looked wicked to Jeter.
Cano hasn’t looked good at the plate today.
Lately everyone works vs. Cano
Aceves should be like the wise steward in the 9th.
Arrrrrrrg….&%@#*&^
OK, game’s a lost cause. Not a big deal.
Not yet. With Lowe in the game a Yankee comeback gives him the win!
That would be beautiful.
All right, everybody, all together:
I’d like to buy the world a coke
And keep it company…
Sorry. My mind wandered.
I never understood that commercial. I mean one coke for the whole world? Really?
Its kind of homeopathic, I guess.
The Fox guys just said that Derek Lowe said that when he was released from the Indians, he got a number of text messages from former Red Sox teammates wishing him luck, but when he signed with the Yankees he got no messages.
Sur-prise, sur-prise, sur-prise. Color me shocked!
Alright, we got to get three across, or better, four.
4 solo shots. They’ll change their name to the New York Hans Solos
Good one.
Need two bloops and a blast. One bloop down.
As always, I root for the tying run to come to the plate, which would mean at least one interesting at bat.
Ugh. (Insert several cuss words.)
Oh well. Chat y’all tomorrow night.
