After going, what a month, without winning more than 2 consecutive games, the Yanks have a chance to win 2 in one day.
Looking at that lineup, it appears Mr. Phelps, should he accept the mission, will have to be flawless in order to win the game.
Come on Ghosts of Yankees past, do your magic.
Alex hits into a rally-killing DP.
Have the trusty Yankee announcers said anything about Phleps being on a pitch count?
Not that I’ve heard.
Uh-oh, Phleps lost the plate.
Does he have to buy a new one?
First you walk, then you run…..damn!!!
Oh, man, I thought the run would score.
Just saw the re-play, dag nabbit!
scabby erasmus
Remember when Ricky Romero was one of the more promising young starters in the league?
he never learned to break his cap bill in.
It’s that Canadian water!
been thru too many damn dams.
Two RISP hits in a row! (One run, one out–sigh.)
I do declare, I thinks my Yankees lead the league in hits w/RISP that do not score runs.
Do my eyes deceive? Was that a hit RISP?
that’s better.
Come onnnn captain clutch. Do something!
Meh not that
Use fewer pitches Mr. Phleps. The pen scares me tonight. Ooooooo.
The Yankee offense does so little with so much.
This lineup reminds of the NFL’s replacement players.
Ah, swished that liner right outa the gap, with a smile.
Between him & Jones the Yankees lead the league in smiles per run.
Gonna be sad to see him go but if hes really looking for Jayson Werth money then i’ll show him the door myself
I agree, he’s not worth Werth money. (I couldn’t resist.)
hahaha I see what you did there. Okay ARod…big fly time!
Actually, Werth’s not worth Werth money. (I promise to stop right there.)
But you won’t.
How many Werth’s can a Werth be worth if a Werth’s really worth his worth.
yeah, $60 millun worth of extra pressure, never ends well. $60 would do.
The big guns went poop that inning!
RR can still flip the change and drop the curve where you don’t wanna believe.
Come on Fibber, do Molly proud.
Itchy’s on fire today.
5 of the 11 Yankee hits so far today.
I knew you wouldn’t stop. I was working on a version of that myself, but you beat me to it.
Reminds me of the Calvin and Hobbes classic, “How many boards would the Mongols hoard if the Mongol hordes got bored?”
If Werth was on the Red Sucks he could be told he’s not Werth his Salty.
Calvin thunk it, but you remembered.
Time for some scoring.
Ichiro is 5 for 6
sweet.
Could this be a doubleheader in which the Yankees do NOT hit an HR?
Alex Rodriguez does not help again.
Curtis granderson at the late: I’ll take a strikeout and a groundball delux to go
ha, I see the makings of a standup comic: no heart.
Lawrie is a vacuum cleaner. Sucks all the action. Only Swish punched thru.
my kingdom for that guy.
You have a kingdom?
guys been holdin out on us lol
Wow Ichiro doing work out there.
ow! – yeah!
steal one more, Ichi!
haha I like Ichiro. Always have. Doubt he will be back but hes cool in my book
damn, your favorite Captain no do, shucks.
4 thru 7 hitters do not yet have a hit today.
keep those negative waves going, Moriarity, and you’re going to swamp the boat.
Steal home! It’s the only way you can score.
Jete ate something wrong for dinner.
oughta save Cory Wade to close this out.
Im glad they are sticking with Phelps. Sometimes you need to let the kids pitch and not protect them so much. Hes not missing by much
you’re right, it takes nerves of steel to nibble like that. Couldn’t buy a call or a swing, but fucking great control. He may need to take the risk of throwing a strike more often, in the end, tho.
If this was the only game today, I think Phleps might be out now.
He certainly pitched very well tonight. I feel bad that he can’t get the win. I hope the Creature from the Boone Lagoon gets this guy out.
We r gonna win this andcc will come out and destroy the blue gays I mean jays (ehem escabar) and it will b 1 happy sweep dreams 2morrow nite!
I yet have to discover what Mr. alleged Escobar put on his eye black.
In Spanish, “You are a fag…t.

Got out of it.
(Beat)
But they still can’t score!
Your funny phil
OMG!!! You’ve seen my picture!
I remember watching the Creature from the Black Lagoon with my grandpa as a kid. Never wanted to buy a fish after that movie lol. Great reference Phil
I’ve never actually seen it.
but this Creature sounds to be the one from the blue lagoon. Ah, Pedophilia, such a creature.
The yankees are officially due to hit a homer as they haven’t hit 2 in the last 3 or 4 days
Sounds good.
On. Over. In. Is that so difficult?
yeah.
Are the Yankees going to set the record for most Hall of Famers in a sucky lineup?
That wasalot of booing arod just got
He had been hitting, but he’s coming up very empty today.
at least they were deserved.
Boone is lagooning them tonight.
wow, that is some first rate leftyism, Boone you dood it.
It’s Eppley’s Believe It or Not
ouch, that is perfect.
and a perty pitch, too. Couldn’t believe it.
It’s easy pitching against wax figurines.
Brett Lawrie?
Is this on me? Am I not rooting in such a way that will cause the Yankees to score runs?
Oh good, we can blame on you!
try farting every time you demand a hit. ?Maybe?
Not really sure I can do that on command.
there you go.
Mayb wel get to win 2 close games in a row if every1 behaves nicely
I want a B&B….bunt and a bomb. Got the bunt part.
In this situation, the bunt wasn’t a bad play. And a bomb wouldn’t be, either.
Here comes ibumiez ready to break out of his slump and become ibombiez!
And now Steve Pearce comes out some trickery by girardi
Decent matchup. Righties hit this guy.
Is it me, or is Pearce’s bat extra long?
Yes! Great steal!
Get that run in, Pearce!
Man, you gotta score with a runner on third, one out, and the infield in.
Unless you’re the Yankees. Jeez Louise!
not if you cannot hit a slider sweeping across the zone with two strikes.
Damn you pearce
Come on Itchy, scratch out a run!
OMG!! Finally someone listened to me!!
ITCH!!
How many itches can an Itchy itch if an Itchy itched his itches?
Was the break between you and sense amicable?
I even got change back on my cents(es).
no, he scratches out itches, and they multiply.
Fuck yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
4 hits against 4 lefthanded pitchers. Yeah, the statement is pretty clear. Ichi having one great frigging day. May there be tomorrow.
It’s Feets Suzuki!!
Ichiro has done everything tonite besides selling the hotdogs!!!!!
Wheeeeeeew! and Stewart walks while no one was paying attention.
Break it open. Squeaking by the Jays isn’t satisfying.
Need to see the replay. Looked like a strike.
me, too, but the slo mo overhead showed it two inches of clearance. Jeter’s influence may be accuracy, not some star browbeating, as I feared.
-hunh, guess it’s not a good idea to pick up the audio over there.
Let’s get some insurance not that sori needs it
whew, but that foul says, “could maybe use it.” Not to mention that loud flyout.
what a killer drop on that slider!! Sori, you are wicked. Wicked good.
Cmon let’s do it!!!
Damn, Sori almost was!
Ball game over Yankees win theeeeeeeeee yankees win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I told u so
Wow! 4 in a row and 6 of 7. That’s about the coldest hot streak I’ve ever seen.
Nice game, fellows. I missed some pitches, reading your shiiiit.
Chat y’all tomorrow!
Ichiro, Mr. Willful OBA, cum laud rbi.
Sweep. Niiiiiice.
Chris Stewart played a pretty good game, hisself.
Not bad a’tall.
I’m thinking Sori was inspired by something, he was so fierce. Betcha he thought he wanted hard to win Ichi’s game.
Mssr. Phleps also showed strength, too. Held asset.
