The Yuckies are leading the Tigers 3-1 in the 5th. Just tuned in to watch Les Tigres. Hoping to some less suck from them.

[Willets Point]

My God, YES is nauseating. I mean you guys have been telling me this for years but first-hand experience is still shocking.

[metirish]

Who's doing the game with Kay?,if Kaat is in the booth he at least is very good,but if it's Murcer and Singelton it's terrible,and it gets worse when Paul O'Neill is there calling the players by their nicknames.

[Willets Point]

I dunno. The commercials alone cause my stomach to churn.

[Willets Point]

Jeter worship in progress.

Better get a bucket.

Actually, Singleton is the best of that bunch (when Jim Kaat isn't there to do color). He has a good voice, and clearly tells you what is happening on the field with no histrionics, pet phrases or nicknames. He is a very professional sportscaster, unless drawn into weird discussions by his booth mates.

For some stupid reason, I promised myself that today is the one day of the year that I wouldn't go off on a rant about Kay. And its gnawing at me.

EDIT: WP, that was quite a memorable scene, wasn't it?

4-2 Yanks, bottom 6.

on edit: what a lame 500th post for me. Well, let's liven it up a bit: Jeter Sucks! There, I feel better.

I'm back to hating the Tigers again following a brief respite last night.
Every time I watch them they suck; every time I see their lineup and say WTF? (you can't win anything starting Neifi Perez); and whenever I see their vaunted pitching staff in action someone on it - say Jeremy Bonderman for instance - is in the process of giving up 12 hits and numerous walks to the Yanquis in just 5 innings.

6-2 in the 7th.
The big Eunuch has a 2-hitter (both HRs) and ARod has a single, double & HR (Jeter must have inspired him)

[MFS62]

An A-bomb from A-Rod STFU, John Sterling made it 5-2 Yanks.
And on radio, Georgie's Girl made it a point to say that "On the top step of the dugout, leading the cheers, was Derek (pause) Jeter".
Gee, I wish the Mets had a Captain like him.

Where's that bucket when you need it?

This will be the game that gets A-Rod going again,until he strikes out three time Friday night.

Nah, he'll save the three-strikeout games for the playoffs.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Post killed for stupidy.

[Willets Point]

Damn Tigers. No way the Yankees aren't winning the AL Pennant with the "competition" they have to face.

[Frayed Knot]

In other gay dame action:

Mini-Soda finally beats KC after losing 2 straight to them ... while ChiSox lose to TB in extras, cutting that WC race back down to a 1/2 game Chi lead.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Wow! The Phillies took a 4-2 lead into the 9th. Washington tied it in the bottom of the inning. Phillie retakes the lead 5-4 in the top of the 10th, only to lose the game 6-5 in the bottom of the inning.

That has to be demoralizing for them.

="ScarletKnight41"]only to lose the game 6-5 in the bottom of the inning.

On a walk-off wild pitch.

[stevejrogers]

Bravos lose as well to the Giants

Guess Benitez doesn't wet the bed completely everytime he sees the Braves unis in Atlanta!
