Figures. He was killing them in the lineup.

C'mon Rangers! Bat around the order.

His injury provides megadoses of MFY inspiration.

KABOOM EAT A DICK YANKEE FANS!

[Willets Point]

Joe Girardi just lost his job.

[Guest themetfairy]

I never thought I'd be saying this, but Yea Molina!

[G-Fafif]

Let's hear it for Bengie Molina not signing with the Mets!

Molinas and home runs in NYC on October 19 -- some are better than others.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

My favorite Bengie.

[metirish]

The guy can't sun but he can sure hit......fuck yeah....

In case John Sterling is traded to the Rangers' booth mid-series, that's gotta be his home run call.

[Willets Point]

Also, Bengie Molina is now my favorite Molina. Still hate Yadier though.

I have to say, I'm enjoying the get-your-hopes-up, middle-innings, he's-doing-alright-after-all-then-OH-FUCK brand of A. J. Burnett implosion more than I do the crush-you-right-off 2nd-inning kind.

[metsmarathon]

holy fuck, this game is taking forever.

[Fman99]

They should film a new Taco Bell commercial where a guy can't finish his chalupa, so A.J. Burnett comes in and vomits all over it.

[metirish]

You know what really grinds my gears? , that camera cutting to Girardi and the smug look on his face, like his shit don't stink or something.....fuck you Joe

[Guest Edgy DC]

Love those LCS homers by guys named Molina. Love 'em.

And Hamilton's homer is the moment when the audience goes AWWWWW....

[Frayed Knot]

Even Girardi's logical moves - walking the LH Murphy to get to Molina, plus bringing in the LHP to pitch to Hamilton - are backfiring on him.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Here's where Joe's gotta go off-script and summon Mariano. I mean, if he really wants a chance to win still. You could argue he shoulda done so last night too.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

A thing of beauty is a joy forever.

[Guest Edgy DC]

No, stick with Boone Logan and his 27 ERA while you wait for the save opportunity that's never gonna come. Sucker.

I don't know, but every time you hit him with one of this tasteful outbursts, the guy responds his next time around.

You're going to hatecrime this guy to an ALCS MVP the way it's going.

[Willets Point]

PLUS - running up the score.
MINUS - taking a day and a half to finish this game.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Teixeira so would have had that pop-up. Why did they take him out of the game?

//Just not crying

[G-Fafif]

GBA dude milking every effing verse -- must be a freeze-out tactic against Texas.

[G-Fafif]

While I have some extra time during this forty-two minute version of "God Bless America," geez Girardi is a toad.

[metsmarathon]

nothing makes me hate that song more than listening to it sung at yankee stadium. i don;t know what it is, but that venue makes the song suddenly offensive to me.

[G-Fafif]

How exactly does "GBA" honor our men and women serving in the armed forces overseas? I don't mean that in the philosophical sense concerning patriotic gestures or as a rhetorical political question. What in that song has anything to do with "we wish you the best, we appreciate your putting yourself at risk, we hope you make it back safe"?

And "oceans white with foam" as rhyme for "my home sweet home" gets no more than a C- once you're in seventh grade.

Hear it the way I hear it:

God Bless America (the country that convicted George Steinbrenner of illegal laundering money into a presidential campaign)!
Land (whose Congress was held in contempt by Roger Clemens and subsequently indicted the big liar for it) that I love!
Stand beside her (the country that Derek Jeter woefully failed in the World Baseball Classic)
And guide her(the country whose lowlifes have adopted the Yankee cap as thugware of choice)
Thru the night with a light from above!
From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the oceans, white with foam
God bless America (the land where even now, sick, hostile, and malicous forces are twisting the truth to turn Yankee-related vice into virtue)!
My home sweet home!
