Beat Buchholz and the rest should be easy.
Oh goody! Time for the Pawtucket Red Sluts vs. the New York AARPers.
About this game:
Oh lord won’t you buy me an AL East pennant.
My friends all have wild cards, I must make amends.
Worked hard all this season, no help from my friends.
So oh lord won’t you buy me an AL East pennant.
And down in FL:
I stuck around St. Petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the birds with Lung Disease
Showalter screamed in vain
Ciriaco made an out! It’s an omen!
CC Slays the Yankee Killer!
Evey time I start to feel sorry for Bobby Valentine, he does something unlikable, like taking Ellsbury out of the lineup.
I think I felt sorry for him once, it was when…..
nope, I guess I never did.
He was a Met, so I’ll never be on his side, but he’s really been in a tough situation this year. He made it worse when he could have smoothed it over, but he took a lot of shit.
No score for the Icteruses in the top of the first.
I bet this is a tight game, Bucholtz has been pitching very well lately, even though the AARPers generally hit him. And generally, CC struggles against them, but this is the a team wearing Boston uniforms for Halloween.
Have some guts. Predict the score.
3-2
Who?
You didn’t ask that. Yanks!
I figured, but just checking.
2 out, 2 on for the Rays.
Uh-Oh. CC needs to come up big.
And he does.
CC comes up, well, like CC!
Mid-2nd, Icteri-Mobuli still scoreless.
Oh, I give up. Icteruses comes up as jaundice and no listing for Mobuli or Morbulus in Merriman-Webtser.
Even with the extra WC team, there is a chance that the Lung Disease & the LAAofA both have a better record than the AL Central winner.
Yeah, the system allows only the Tigers to get their rotation in order even though they are the worst team that will make the playoffs.
One for the money
Two for the show
Three to get ready
Now Go, Yanks, Go!
Yaaaaaaaa Hoooooooooooo
Cano’s hot at a good time.
Swish made Buccholtz skip rope backwards.
A my name is Alice…
Skip to ma lou my darlin’
It was a typo earlier, 13-2.
It bet it’s a very close 13-2 game.
3-2 is still possible. And the way the Yankees shut down sometimes in the later innings…
and the beat goes on, and, hopefully, on and on
That was a double. No question.
That HR by Martin wasn’t fair. He used three wrists.
…but coach, if I put it in there, they’ll just hit it out.
Put me in, Coach, I’m ready to play today.
I think the Curse of the Bambino is back just in time for 100th anniversary of Fenway.

Thank you.
Very slow with database errors.
postus interruptus maximus
Pound the Sox right out of this series.
Valentine is going to leave Buchholz in to take a pounding.
Bobby is going to offer us Aceves back if we’ll just leave them alone. He’ll pay the shipping.
I thought letting Aceves go to Boston was a big mistake. Turned out no to be much of anything.
He was ready for anything, but they gave him too much of it. Man, they were leaning on him: closer, starter, closer, no you can’t.
Yeah, and the Valentine factor. I’d take him back on the Yankees.
absolutely.
I don’t care who’s wearing the uniforms, I just love, LOVE I tell you, a Yankee rout of Boston!
Read the score board and weep in St Pete.
Oh, this is just beautiful.
Bootyful, just bootyful
Quite some firewoiks, boys.
Oh my!! Get that man an unlimited tex minutes plan!
Damn, Swish only hit a double.
Everybody’s gonna match the back of their baseball card tonight.
Everybody’s gonna match Stan Musial’s card tonight.
Some really funny comments on overthemonster.com.
Thank you Ben Zobrist. Come on Lung Disease:
I get by with a little help from my friends,
I get high with a little help from my friends,
Going to try with a little help from my friends.
But not too much. I don’t want the Rays to actually make the playoffs. Just beat the O’s.
CC had to sit a long time, but I doubt he minded it. That was my second favorite inning this year by the Yanks. (After that 9-0 comeback vs Red Sucks)
Ba, ba, ba,
bomb. bomb the Sox
I was just thinking about that game. Yeah, it was even better.
Ciriyukko struck out. Truly rock bottom for the Sockholes.
Me likes that name!
With all these advances in satellite technology and DVR’s, etc. why can’t I turn off Kay and just listen to Kenny and Coney?
Just hit the No Idiot button (where available).
I’m afraid that if I hit it, I’ll disappear.
Descartes walked into a donut shop. The waitress said, “Would you like a cup of coffee?” Descartes said, “I think not,” and disappeared.
lol
Rene Descartes
was a drunken old fart
I drink
Therefore I am
Thank you MP
Not a big MP fan but I like that song.
What did Michael Kay say that Bobby Valentine would have done differently? I missed it.
Keep beer in the away clubhouse. Followed Leiter’s advice and had a better relationship with Becket.
Ah. Relationship building. Not really Valentine’s forte.
One out, runner on second for the Icteri.
Wow. Cano looks awesome.
Mobula got out of it. Still 1-0, mid 6th.
Thank you Coney. I like that stat: AB/RBI
If you don’t count that one half-inning, the Yankees are losing 1-0 and being no-hit!
Cano had a 4th inning double.
Well, then, they’re losing 1-0 and being one-hit!
Dang you, Icteri!
It’s Linsanity!
Maybe let CC come out of the game after 5 and rest up.
I think I’d go 6. But I agree with the concept!
Yeah, 6 is good. Any bullpen should be able to hold this lead, but you don’t want to take too big a chance.
Not a bad idea. Pitching coach is following up with CC to see some video. Maybe one more to straighten something out.
Derek or Freddy?
The Aardvark. How about Warren?
Oh, yeah. Some ‘vark.
Good chance to give Freddie a little work. See if he got his wrinkles out.
OK with me. He’s no great arm at this point ,but he’s been a good guy and some decent outings in relief.
Longoria on first to open the 7th.
First and third, no one out for the Mobula.
Sac fly. 2-1 Mobula.
First and third again, still one out.
Pop out. Still first and third.
Double! 4-1 Mobula.
Yipee, yipee, yip
When Micahel Kay says a pitcher is coming out, I never know if he means coming out of the game or coming out of the dugout.
Michael no likes ketchup, but he loves extra mustard on his home runs. LOVES him some loong balls. Starting a movement to get them credited for 1.5 runs, if they’re over 462 feet.
A lot of his excitement sounds canned.
right, he is always rabble-rousing.
Kay is awful, and by that I mean AWFUL, but I get to listen to some other games on MLBN, and OMG there are plenty who are worster!
I listen to some games on radio feed, and there are a bunch of bland announcers.
Unfortunately, I can remember listening to the greats — Red and Mel. I’m spoiled.
yeah, I wanna lynch whoever yells that “It’s outta here!” they play everyday on the QuickPitch intro. Generally MLBN shows me some bad taste in their rapid-fire clips with mucho yelling, and machine gun homers, whap, whaqp, whapity, whap.
I hate home run calls in general. They make home runs sound the same, and they aren’t.
yeah, I’ve been noticing Michael’s habits, “lines one”, “laces one” on singles and such, leaves a lot of excitement on the table with their overly canned approach.
Trivia: Who are the 11 longest-serving Yankee broadcasters of all time?
Mid 8th, still 4-1 Mobula.
oh, boy.
Mel, Red, Scooter, White, Kay, damn, I should remember more! Mercer?

According to wikipedia.
Sterling cross my mind as did Kenny, but I didn’t think either was there that long! The others, no way.
I’d rather listen to anyone on that list rather than Sterling except maybe Jim Kaat. (I never heard Barber but I’d take him over Sterling anyway.)
I loved Mel’s voice on The Week in BB. Did you have Red Barber? He was greta.
Jack Brickhouse, Milo Hamilton and Harry Carey, for the Cubbies. Good ol’ Jack.
Were you a Cubs fan?
yep, grew up playing ball each morning, watching the Cubs in the afternoon. Great for a kid in summer.
Wow, going from MLB’s biggest losers to the MLB’s biggest winners. Did you get the bends?
Upton doubled to open the bottom of the 8th.
Upton on third with one out.
It looks like Cabrera really will win the triple crown. I didn’t think he could do it.
Fielder’s choice. 5-1 Mobula.
What a great choice!
Sabathia still out there.
I see C-Dick, but I don’t see CC being kept in the game.
he’s probably stubborn, wants to keep his habits.
Lin sure knows where that 5 – 6 hole is. Twice to the same spot.
Doesn’t Girardi have a chart of that??
He’s Linsurance for next year.
Farnsworth in for the Mobula.
This hasn’t been that long a game, given that there was a 46-minute half inning.
Farnsworth gave up a 2-run HR. 5-3, still no one out.
Effing Krazy Kyle.
Fernando Rodney in.
Single. Tying run at the plate for the Icteri.
Stop them now!
Gardy at the plate! Sweeeeeet!!
First and second for the Icteri. Still no one out.
Thome struck out. Two on, one out.
Melk Man II!! Sweeeeeeeeeeet!
Would have been funny if the runner missed third.
Mark Reynolds K’d. Two out.
Fernando can be Gaga’s babe if he gets the next out!
End the game with Endy!
That’s it. Rays win. Now root for the A’s to lose, so that the Rays have to play hard tomorrow.
wowsers.
I want some Aardvark!!
That quiver joke was worthy of you, Phil.
Huh?
Bob Lorenz with the update. Rodney made them quiver, but had enough arrows to get them out–something like that.
For some weird reason, whenever they go to Lorenz it isn’t picked up on the MLBN feed.
finally, a true laugher. Ah, feels goood.
Yeah. But if you don’t count that half inning, they lost, 2-1!
yeah, but if you don’t count that half inning, you don’t count.
To think that the magic number was 163 at the start of the season and now it’s 2!
MLBN commentators wondering about why CC pitched so deep.
Me, too.
Joe said, “I’m not worrying about Friday, just tomorrow, and I want a full bullpen.”
Yeah, but you can’t use Garcia when it matters, so it’s not really taking away from your full pen.
true. Either he was choked with anxiety and had to keep CC in there to ward off the devil, which I doubt, or maybe CC strongly preferred it, and Joe didn’t want to disturb his “roll.”
eh, he coulda thought, “I put Freddy in, in the 7th or the 8th, and he gets in trouble, it’ll be Freddy, then Cody, then Sori…”
Chat y’all tomorrow.
