Rain delay - probably short-lived.
Looks like we'll get the Chicago-v-Chicago tilt on TV until then.

[Frayed Knot]

And just in case you're trying to keep track of the Yanqui moves since the end of game 1 yesterday

- Hidecki Matsui DL'd -- Sydney Ponson called up

- Ross Ohlendorf sent down -- (off)Kei Igawa called up

- and today it (off)Kei Igawa sent back down (how's that $46mil investment going?) and David Robertson brought up.
Robertson is a RH reliever who was a middle-round draft pick from 2 years ago.

Nice 1st for Santana.

Jeter is batting .382 vs. the Mets?
Maybe we should go get that kid....make him a second baseman or something.

[Zvon]

Easley and Wright draw walks.

Come on Beltran.

[Guest themetfairy]

Nothing. A wasted opportunity.

Scoreless after one.

[bmfc1]

When Church returns, who goes? Nixon is another lefty OF so he seems redundant but I like how hard he plays.

[Zvon]

WooT!

Santana Ks the side in the second.

[bmfc1]

BLASTRO!

[Zvon]

[Zvon]

Come on guys.
More runs please....

[Zvon]

Less walks please....

[Frayed Knot]

Once again another NYY grounder hit too shitty to be turned into a GiDP.
I've seen this movie before.

[Frayed Knot]

And they FUCKIN DO IT AGAIN!!!!!

That's 3 IF grounders that resulted in two hits plus a non-DP.
And it's only the 4th inning!!!!!

[Zvon]

Skanks are small ballin for the runs.
The RBI groundout up the middle made me gah! to myself.

The dribbly single off Canos bat just made me GAH! out loud.
But it doesn't factor in the scoring.

Two walks to start the inning and both score.
Walks kill.

[Guest KC]

The radio here is a good five seconds ahead of the tv.

[Guest AG/DC]

Say it with me: Shea infield.

[Zvon]

GAH!
How could they call that error by Jeter a hit!
I was about to type errors kill too!

[Guest AG/DC]

We needed the infield to help there.

It usually is. But since I seem to be in the small minority of fans who aren't bothered by Buck/McCarver I'm listening to the TV feed.

I can't believe they scored Tatis's bouncer a hit.

[Guest KC]

You know me well, that was code for, "I think McCarver is an assbag."

[Zvon]

Rains fallin'.

GIMME RUNS!
NOW!

[Guest KC]

Lol, KB just asked from the other room why I'm watching the Yankee
announcers and not the Mets.

[Zvon]

[Frayed Knot]

Usually Pettitte has to balk to get his pick offs.
Reyes just made that one easy for him.

[Zvon]

HOW can Jose get picked off there with Wright up?
HOW CAN HE LET THAT HAPPEN?!

[Frayed Knot]

Hey, Johan just got a call.

According to my local weather channel it's gonna start pouring in Queens in the next 20 minutes.
Won't last long.
