'Twas David, playing there due to the shift.

[Guest themetfairy]

Whew!

[Zvon]

This is, or was, the true test for Bobby Parnell. Couldn't be any more pressure packed. I have a new respect.
GREAT JOB MR. PARNELL!

[Zvon]

She looks way hotter in this one.

[ashie62]

I saw an elite closer out there tonight..

[metirish]

Is it mandatory for the SNY booth to gush over the fucking yankees all night?

agree with Ashie, Bobby was great.

[Frayed Knot]

Gained a game on the entire division tonight (Hey, I'll take my wins where I can get them) plus the entire AL East gained a game on the Yanx.

That's like dectuptle happiness!!

[Fman99]

Missed most of this game as we were soaking up some AAA ball here in the 'Cuse. Tuned in on XM for Duda's K and Parnell's finish on the drive home. LGM!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Nice to get a win these days, against these guys, after leaving a bunch of runs on the table. (Also, and I can't believe I'm saying this... though not in any AB that ended up mattering, Hughes got squeezed a bit in those middle innings, as Culbreth's zone waxed and waned a little.)

But, yeah... first dinosaurs at the zoo (!), then platonic-ideal burgers and guacamole and adult-lemonades, then this on DVR-warp-speed; just one of those bee-yoots of a day, all-around.

Saw that Murph-getting-sawed-off-by-Hughes play. Totally missed this... like my brain refused to register the dumb-itude.

C'mon, Keith.

[Edgy MD]

Eh, it's a common enough metaphor. Sensitive? Not really, but I it would suck to decide after decades of common usage, to decide that 300 millonth user of the expression is suddenly the jerk.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

I know. I know.

But, man alive, of all the times to dust that one off... ON MEMORIAL DAY?

[Edgy MD]

Keith being Keith. Cliche, but apt, I think.

He's like the flipside of Gary Carter. Carter could be unself-aware. Keith can sometimes be unaware of anybody else.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Granted. But, still, it just seems like a weird locution for a ballfield, and maybe-- especially taking the strangeness of it AND the potential for misunderstanding into account-- one of the least apt metaphors I've ever heard from a PBP dude.

If I'm being obtuse, I swear that's unintentional. Honestly, I've only ever heard it to describe beer bottles/cans, and I'm fairly sure I've never heard it on a sporting field of any kind.

I'm sure when it was brought to his attention that he used an old baseball phrase with such ill timing, he realized how this could be true and winced. But I think to portray it as anything more than what it was is going overboard. Stupid? No. In appropriate? If you want to make it so.

I heard it on broadcast and didn't make anything of it at all.

Today we find out if Matt Harvey is going to be the best pitcher in NY for the rest of the year or not.

Twitters saying this was Wright pulling a Ryan Howard, pulling a Babe Ruth. The kid (so sez the Twittery source, which is what it is) asked Wright to hit a homerun, Wright said he'd try, and KABOOM!

Life is good if you can get them front-row seats.

But dang, give him the hat, David.

Please. The Wilpons would have a canary if David started giving away limited-edition memorabilia.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Which is, perhaps, the best reason for him to do it.

The Wilpons don't care, but he would be literally stealing from veterans.

Holy crap wow.

David Wright may be boring, but am I ever proud to have a guy like that on our team. Awesome. Deserves its own thread.

[metirish]

PIX11 showed that moment live, it was amazing.....and each time I view it I think the same thing....wow, what a great moment, the joy in that kids face is priceless.


Proud of Wright.

I'm just amazed that the Yanx agreed to participate in what was obviously an MLB-wide charity/marketing event for Memorial Day.
Usually they simply dismiss anything that wasn't their own idea, may seem to tarnish their beloved pinstripes, or that makes it seem like they're in cooperation with those other lesser clubs who aren't really in their league.

[Zvon]

I have to include this pic of Gardners catch for the record. I'm a big fan of the leather and it was an amazin' catch.Don't expect me to be all photoshoppinTributin' it up though.

To me it doesn't look as impressive in pics and replays as it actually was, for some reason.
Below is the best pic out there atm.

[Ceetar]

That is a great pic. The image of fear on those fans faces..

[Frayed Knot]

The Yanqui fan in the kilt ruins the whole shot.
