I'm very happy not to have Thole in the lineup. Sadly, there's no alternative that's any better.

Not much from 5-9...or 4 actually.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Nova's a groundball guy with terrible peripherals, who usually runs into problems the third time or so through the order... but the MFY bullpen is well-rested.

Pelf-- of late-- is having success pounding down and in to lefty hitters, and, oddly, has been something of a flyball guy for the last month.

Considering the locale, this all seems sort of ominous.

[MFS62]

Its getting close to the last time that Harris has a chance to look good enough for some other team to want to acquire him.

Later

The other guys' 5-9 doesn't scare me much, either. Let's get these bastages.

Only able to get the YES feed.

Having the 2, 3 and 5/6 guys on the DL tends to do that to a lineup.

[Chad ochoseis]

Granderson pops up to short right. 1-0 MFYs

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

That really fucking figures.

It's on TBS, too.

[bmfc1]

Why does the MFYS crowd do the "roll call" chant? Do they feel the need for the players to acknowledge them?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Yes.

Howsabout that range by Jeter on Bay's tingle?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Nice hitting from Willie.

Run Harris here?

[Guest Edgy DC]

This is has been one light-hitting two-run rally.

Ashie62's comment was posted in the locker room.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Three.

Wow, these guys really want to come north with the big-league team, don't they?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

"Gets by a crouching Jeter..."

[bmfc1]

Stupid Cervelli, throwing it right to Jeter's glove.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Jeter's really putting on a clinic here, isn't he?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

"'Clinic'?

No comment."

Official scorer, Howie Karpin, said the ball sunk on Jeter. I disagree.

Stupid ball, sinking on Jeter.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Christ, them's some LOUD foul balls.

First guy to get an official scorer break on misreading a thrown ball because of a bad bounce off the air.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Maybe they should only start Bay against sinkless sinkerballers.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Maby Baybe needs to find himself as a singles hitter first before the power comes back.
