...Salazar...tough pitcher who strikes out a lot of batters.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

CC Sabathia, generous pitcher who gives up a lot of bombs. ESPN ran an article on teams most likely to be good spoilers and Cleveland was a good example. They are in a rebuild, know it but still have pitching that can keep them in a game. They did a good salary dump when they shipped "Brohio" and Bourne to Atlanta. They may not be going anywhere but they'll be more than happy to take another team out of contention.

 

[Rick2583]

We need two things tonight, #1 for CC to pitch like he did his last time out & #2 for the team to remember how to hit.

 

[cagedlion]

I'm going to give myself a day off from Yankee misery.

I DESERVE IT!

 

[Messiah717]

Am I the only one who can't stand the constant drumming in Cleveland?

 

[totus44]

Take the drums over the midges.

 

[Rick2583]

If I was a fan sitting next to that asshole I'd do a Geno Smith on him.

...lol...hey, I had to live through those crazed Braves fans down here and that damned "Tomahawk Chop" Indian chant.

 

[Rick2583]

That's also very annoying.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

The Yankee Fans roll call is the coolest thing out there.

 

[yankeesince59]

That's also very annoying.

...you have no idea, rick...down here, even when you go to an Appleby's or some other sports type restaurant/bar, the Braves are obviously always on the tube...and the damn people who are dining there even join in with the fans in the stands doing that damned chop chant thing.

...I usually have my Yanx cap on...and I love it when they try to give me a hard time about being a Yankees fan...I just point at them and laugh as loud as I can and remind them about 1996 and 1999...it really pisses them off.

 

[Rick2583]

Tonight's line up posted in the OP.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Looks like Baltimore is joining the Yankees, just seen they were no hit by Iwakuma today.

 

[yankeesince59]

...^^^yeah, saw that...4th no-no this year.

 

[Messiah717]

Gardy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Starts things off with a K.

 

[Messiah717]

So with two homers today jerk face Ortiz is 11 away from 500.

 

[Hammerojustice]

Jerk face is who I call Shrek

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Here we go again, game starts at 7:10, Yankees there at 6:10 fucking up.

 

[Rick2583]

So with two homers today jerk face Ortiz is 11 away from 500.

I really hope they don't make a big deal about it.

 

[Rick2583]

I see we're stuck with the same annoying announcers tonight.

 

[Majorball]

If I was a fan sitting next to that asshole I'd do a Geno Smith on him.

You would let him break your jaw?

 

[Messiah717]

I see we're stuck with the same annoying announcers tonight.

Yeah they do the series. Kay is on vacation.

 

[Messiah717]

You would let him break your jaw?

LOL I think he means he would break the drum beating guy's jaw.

 

[Majorball]

LOL I think he means he would break the drum beating guy's jaw.

So that would be more like 'I'd go all I.K. on his ass?

 

[Messiah717]

So that would be more like 'I'd go all I.K. on his ass?

I seriously just cannot stand the constant drum banging the entire game. There's no stadium in baseball more irritating.

 

[Messiah717]

Looks like the Helen Keller lineup continues tonight.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Another bump for "Bump"

 

[Messiah717]

McCann with a bomb makes it 1-0.

 

[Majorball]

So let me get this right, they release Jones, a lefty hitter on the night they are giving Ellsbury a much needed day off and put Chris Young in left field who has the same batting average as old men from Arkansas against right hand pitching and bring up a reliever who pitched 16 pitches the night before. And before you say it, it is because we had a 16 inning affair and wanted to get fresh arms (16 Pitches) into the bullpen. Great roster management.
