[Rick2583]

This just in, Pineda's hat is still crooked & the seats behind home plate are all vacant.

 

[Messiah717]

Forget behind home plate. The entire place is empty.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

McHugh, the Stro's #2- SP, being called off of waivers, isn't saying much for the Stro's...

but keep up the good work...

 

[Messiah717]

Big first inning for the Yankees. 5-1 still only one out and McHugh knocked out of the game.

 

[Rick2583]

Okay its official, I'm enjoying this. Clutch hitting with RISP. Lets hope its a theme.

 

[yankeesince59]

Forget behind home plate. The entire place is empty.

...and the Steins evidently don't give a shit.

 

[Messiah717]

6-1 Yankees after a 65 pitch first inning for the Astros.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Right now Pineda seems a bit shaky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Rick2583]

A hit here will make it 6-3 lets hope for the best.

 

[Rick2583]

HOLY SHIT! Are you f'king kidding me.

 

[Messiah717]

Pineda continues his absolute trash.

 

[Rick2583]

Okay Joe, get his lame ass out of there.

 

[yankeesince59]

...unreal...they better not blow this game.

 

[Messiah717]

Castro!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[yankeesince59]

...Castro = en fuego.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Nice job Pineda you piece of crap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Consistently fails to live up to the most mediocre standards.

 

[Rick2583]

Like I said, I've got a good feeling about this kid.

Anyone miss Drew?

 

[yankeesince59]

...I don't think there was any question about Castro's bat...if he can just play average defense he'll make people forget about Cano.

 

[Messiah717]

A Tex message. Ohhhh you're on the Mark Teixeira. Three run homer makes it 12-5.

 

[Rick2583]

...I don't think there was any question about Castro's bat...if he can just play average defense he'll make people forget about Cano.

I don't Ron, Cano is on pace to hit 168 HRs this year.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Cano blows goats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[yankeesince59]

I don't Ron, Cano is on pace to hit 168 HRs this year.

...I'll take that bet.

 

[Messiah717]

Beltran with a solo shot makes it 13-6. Both Beltran and Tex approaching 400 homers for their careers.

 

[Rick2583]

Beltran with a solo shot makes it 13-6. Both Beltran and Tex approaching 400 homers for their careers.

395 for Tex & 393 for Beltran.

 

[Messiah717]

Castro making quite an impression these first two games.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Castro making quite an impression these first two games.

The hometown Washington High boy, loves playing at Home...

Hope the change of position brings with it a gold glove; at least less errors? better fielding pctg. Hope today's game is a beacon of Castro to come, with the bat very impressive thus far, 2 gms in...

Love to see a hometown kid do well at Home, especially in dah Bronx..
