Sweet. Thanks, SF. And go Sabres.
I will be outnumbered 2-1 by Dee-Troit fans at our Game 1 party tonight.
I shall make baked beans and wat them ahead of time to let my digestive system prepare for sharing my insightful commentary.
LET’S GO BUFFALO!!!! Oh wait, different sport…
Time for Beer #1…
It looks like tons of rain in the Bronx, including tonight.
Figures.
LET’S GO YANKEES…CLAP, CLAP, CLAP CLAP CLAP….
LET’S GO YANKEES…CLAP, CLAP, CLAP CLAP CLAP…
LET’S GO YANKEES…CLAP, CLAP, CLAP CLAP CLAP!!!!!
I AM FIRED UP!!! LET’S DO THIS BOYS!!!!
I better not be the only one in here tonight…that’s all I’m saying.
Hi Krueg.. I’ll be lurking
I got the d*%n proposal in (65 pages!) after getting home at 1:30am each of the last three nights and having to catch the 5:09am train back to the office to keep working. And it’s over. OVER! I couldn’t even luxuriate to the extent i wanted to in the final stunnigly dramatic chapter of the Sox’ implosion. But I’m back above water. And PSYCHED!
A-Rod hitting clean-up. Can he turn it back on after such an off-and-on season?? I would have been very happy to see Granderson 3rd and Cano 4th, but whatever. Let’s go A-Rod. We need 2009 A-Rod.
And CC needs to go 7 scoreless. Let’s do this!!!!!!!!!!!!!
COME ON YANKEES!!!!!! VERLANDER IS A BITCH!!!! ROCK HIS ASS!!!!
My IH gets the 5:09 train…
He works from 8am to 1:30am and then…
He takes the night train home again…
To watch the YANKEES DOMINATE THE TIGRES!!!!!
CC hasn’t been ultra-dominant CC for a few weeks. Will be interesting to see how he comes out. I feel like this post-season snuck up on me thanks to the last week of hell at the office. Come on!!!!!
CC is going to destroy them…he’s just been resting up the last few months.
Us big guys have to do that you know!
HERE…
WE…
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Who comes up huge tonight krueg??
FIRST PITCH STRIKE!!!!
GAME!!!!
Jackson hacking right away.
Cano, Tex, Swish and Muscle…
3 pitch K!!!!! 1 out!!!!!
Nice first 3 pitches. Those were right down the middle but just too much for Austin. Nice.
Curtis >>>>>>>>>>> Austin
Dude, these fastballs are right down thte middle.
K x’s 2!!!!!!!!
CC says I SIT ON YOU and you stop breathing.
CC…CC…CC…CC…is the chant!!!!
0-1.
Mother pucker
The Stadium giveth…the Stadium taketh away.
Oh well. Not like there’s any chance Verlander pitches a shutout. Er….
We got this IH…it’s allllllllllllll good.
Miggy grounds out.
0-1 headed to the bottom of the 1st.
Bring it Verlander you bitch.
Jeter in the post-season is like water in the ocean.
Or something.
Sorry. I’m operating on a ridiculous deficit of REM shuteye…
At a 147 career post-season games, Jeter is creeping up on an entire season worth of post-season games.
FYI…Sabres up 3-2 in the final preseason game against the Crapitals…
:)
Good omen.
Another good omen? I went to get my truck washed down here in redneck Memphis and there was another dude, from NY, with a Jeter tee on. We chatted about how badly Verlander would suck tonight.
JETER BEATS OUT THE K/PASSED BALL!!!!!!
We are in business baby!!!!!
Verlander keeping the ball at the knees or below. And Captain hussle says I struck YOU out baby!
MVP…MVP…MVP…MVP…
Send Jeter on the 2-0.
He looks scared to throw Curtis a fastball…
It’s also good that he cannot get his breaking stuff over for strikes yet….
Go now Jetes. who cares about avilies’ arm. Curtis will put wood on it…i hope…
WALK!!!!!
1st and 2nd, no outs….
Cano.
Bring it.
Forget pitch count. The Tigers have a great pen. be aggressive..be be aggressive…
This ump SUCKS!!!!! Calls ball 2 a strike….
What was up with Cabrera on that???? Whatever. We’ll take it. Well here it is A-Rod. do you have it in you??????
Advances the runners with a grounder…
2nd and 3rd…1 out….
ARod.
TIE GAME!!!!!!
AROD RBI!!!!!
1-1!!!!!!
Granderson to 3rd…
The Ump rapes Tex with a strike one call…
Asshole.
YES!!! Surprised Inge didn’t go home. They had him by a mile. Verlander’s infield not doing him big favors so far. To Curry’s credit this is exactly what he said in the pre-game – the Tigers’ corner infielders are a defensive liability.
And of course it starts to fucking rain…
No rain delays please. This whole damn season has been one Yanke rain delay after another. And another walk. Love it.
TEX WALKS!!!!!
Lots of pitches Justin…you SUCK…ya jackass!!!!!
1st and 3rd…2 outs…
SWISH!!!! He’s going to come through.
Watch.
Or not…
1-1 after 1.
I think I heard Swish has the 2nd worst average in Yankee playoff history???
Yanks score without a hit. You can’t stop them!
Except when you can…
Smoke break.
Take it IH!
I swear as soon as I saw A-Rod spin and double-pump I knoew he’d make a bad throw. He is so much better when he doesn’t have time to think. Those double pump throws always end up being his worst. Teix got it anyway. Let’s go CC. And it is POURING.
CC k’s him as pairs of animals start proceeding across the field…
There’s a G*d-d%$ned lake in front of the plate.
Fucking rain. Leave us the hell alone for a while, would ya?
NICE! CC dealing. Hate that there will be a rain delay when he’s dealing and Verlander is struggling but it’s starting to look ridiculous. On the other hand, maybe Gardner can get four bunt hits in these conditions.
CC!!!!!! 2 MORE K’S!!!! 1-2-3…
It is absolutely pouring, but according to the radar it’s not going to stop until like 11pm.
The weather this year has been ridiculous.
But climate change is a myth, right asshole Republicans????
Sorry. Shouldn’t get political on here but seriously, fuck Republicans.
Fucking rain delay.
This really, really sucks.
Fuck you, nature.
Will someone tell the entire marketing community that commercials with babies talking in adult voices suck. No. They don’t just suck. They are creepy and annoying. I like kids. I have kids. It’s not that. Just stop putting these adds out!!!
How about the religious commercials that imply that nice people are only nice because of the Bible???
Foundation for a better life.
FUCK OFF!!!!
Assholes.
CC definitely has the advantage on the wet mound. It’s the difference between landing a prop-plane in the rain and landing a Cessna.
And I love Wells as a commentator. You know he hates the suit and he’s kinfd of annoyed the whole time. Like, I wish I didn’t have to do this to keep my drinking and partying lifestyle going.
Haven’t seen the Foundation for a Better Life Krueg. Maybe they already gave up on me.
Switched to Starsky & Hutch. TheOwen Wilson/Ben Stiller/Vince Vaughn version. Chuckle.
They are ridiculous commercials IH. You’re better off without them…
I’m watching the comedian Jim Jeffries on DVR…
This sucks. Not Jim, the weather.
Cal Ripken interviews Jeter. Me likey.
I was dvr’ing the game and so am watching the interview now. Good stuff, starting with Jeffrey Mier.
Cal Ripken: “I’m envious of your career.”
This sucks beyond anything that has ever sucked before…
Besides ’04…which the last two years have certainly mitigated. ’09 too!!!!
The radar says it’s going to pour the rest of the night…and ALL DAY TOMORROW!!!!!
This is fucking ridiculous.
Why? WHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY????????
Oh…and ALL DAY SUNDAY TOO!!!!
…and Monday and Tuesday…
This is an absolute fucking nightmare.
What are they going to do…play the rest of the game between 1am-3am???
Play tomorrow between 9am-12pm???
This series is fucked now. Completely fucked.
What are they going to do????
Game called.
Saturday night and Sunday afternoon.
No off days.
Of course, what happens when those games get called too.
This if the worst case fucking scenario.
I am beside myself.
