[The Dark Knight]

What time did the game end last night?

12 hours from Melky's home run.

These guys may be tired.

[boogerstyles]

looked like guile earned himself a start with that ph single last nite.



btw, this aint really a getaway day for those of us stuck at work.


go yanks tho, hope randy can have a quality start.

[Drew]

Guiel seems to be a nice little find. He looks like he can hit, and field. I'm liking him considering it's not really costing the Boss much.

[typeOnegative13NY]

glad to see green in there rather than cairo.

[ButtleMan]

Green deserves to get some time but I do wish Cano was back.
Also Dotel pitched again last night and might be up with the club in a week or so depending on his next outing.

[ButtleMan]

Posada is scratched. Stinnett gets the start and bats 9th.

[ButtleMan]

Mariners score in the first 1-0 in the top of the 3rd.

[ShadeTree#55]

Stinnett has a pretty good arm.

[ButtleMan]

How can he catch today when he is supposed to be in training for the GM job?

Both the Mariners and Yanks go 3 up and out in the 3rd.

[ButtleMan]

Sexson gives the RF fans a chance at a souvinier. 2-0 mariners.

[GreenMachine]

Has Randy given up a HR in every game??? Sure seems that way.

[ButtleMan]

Rj walks Eduardo Perez with 2 outs.

[ButtleMan]

Yusi follows with a single. 1st and 2nd 2 outs

[3rdAnd15Draw]

this mariners lineup is pretty dire, i would've expected randy to have a decent game today

[ButtleMan]

RJ gets the rookie catcher to end the inning without any further damage.
He was so close to getting the ERA under 5. Now he has to wait a bit.

[ButtleMan]

Boston and KC are tied 0-0 in the 3rd.

[ButtleMan]

Damon lines out. Melky up. Yankees have done nothing so far against Meche.

[ButtleMan]

Melky gets plenty of pitches but pops out. Captain up.

[GreenMachine]

Perfect game for Meche...

[ButtleMan]

Jeter K's. Perfect game still intact for Meche.
I hear Stinnett is on the phone now with the Mariners GM to finalize the deal for Meche.

OK you got me lost on this Stinett GM stuff. What gives?

[nyscene911]

OK you got me lost on this Stinett GM stuff. What gives?
Didn't you hear? After Garth Snow became Isles' GM, Steinbrenner was motivated to hire Stinett as his own :smile:

[ButtleMan]

RJ gets through the inning with no damage.
Giambi, Anti clutch and Phillips due up.

[ShadeTree#55]

Quick game.

[ButtleMan]

Manny just hit a HR for Boston. 1-0 Sox

[ButtleMan]

Quick game.

Perfect games usually are.

[ButtleMan]

Giambi grounds out.

Lets go Anti Clutch!!!!!

[ShadeTree#55]

Manny just hit a HR for Boston. 1-0 Sox

He has to up there with the greatest right handed sluggers of all time. Greenberg and Foxx.

[ShadeTree#55]

Aord is sooooo money.

[ButtleMan]

Ground rule double for AC. :smile: :beer: Dissapointing the crowd that wants something to boo him for.

[ButtleMan]

Phillips up. Perfect Game is done.

[ButtleMan]

Phillips k's. Up to the new guy.

[ButtleMan]

Guiel flys out. DOES AROD HAVE TO DO THIS BY HIMSELF?????????

[3rdAnd15Draw]

typical a-rod, doubles in an inning no one else gets a hit

pathetic

[ShadeTree#55]

Jeter would have stole 3rd and home. He is clutch.

[ButtleMan]

Jeter would have stole 3rd and home. He is clutch.

Jeter's no Carl Crawford. :smile:

[ButtleMan]

Nice!!! Strike em out, throw em out double play!

[The Green Dude]

sweet... i start johnson and bench gil

[ButtleMan]

2 outs and 2 on for Jeter.

[ButtleMan]

The clutch man comes through with a run scoring single. Green scores.
Meche is up to approx 100 pitches. Giambi has to finish this before the relief corps comes in.

[ButtleMan]

1st and 3rd for Giambi.

[ButtleMan]

Jeter steals second!

[3rdAnd15Draw]

those leadoff walks always seem to manage to find a way to score

[ButtleMan]

RALLY KILLER!!!!!!
Giambi grounds out to first with a full count. :sad:

[ButtleMan]

Arod Rally Starter!!!!!

[ButtleMan]

2-2 game as Phillips doubles to drive home RALLY STARTER AROD!!!

[ButtleMan]

Sox still up 1-0. have they been having a tought time with KC or what?

[AMJets]

3B umpire shouldn't have called the play dead there, the catcher never called time or anything while he argued.

[ButtleMan]

Gotta thank Hargrove for keeping Meche in too long.

[3rdAnd15Draw]

is willie managing the mariners? why did meche start this inning?

[ButtleMan]

Cairo PH for Guiel. If Joe send Cairo to RF I will rip this CPU out of my cubby.

[AMJets]

Nice bunt.

[ButtleMan]

So Cairo PH's for a sacrifice?????? Man on third. 1 out for Green.

[ButtleMan]

Bernie PH for Green. Why not just have Bernie PH for Guiel????

[ButtleMan]

Mark Lowe in for the Mariners replacing Sherrill, who has a Myers day.

[ButtleMan]

K for Bernie. Lets go new GM. Dont make you send yourself down to the minors.

[ButtleMan]

boooooooooooooooo......
Stinnet flies out. End of the inning.

[ButtleMan]

Cairo will go to 2nd and Bernie to RF.
I still dont understand the moves.
Sherrill is a lefty so I can understand PH for Guiel but it should have been Bernie with no outs not Cairo to just move the runner over.

[ButtleMan]

RJ still in but the BP is up and getting ready.

[ButtleMan]

Ichiro gets on with an infield single. How many pitches before he steals second?

[ButtleMan]

Joe is letting RJ pitch to beltre when he has Farnsworth warmed up.

[ButtleMan]

Does Joe think that RJ will hold Ichiro better than the righty?

[ButtleMan]

Long f'ng at bat for Beltre.

[ButtleMan]

Beltre finally strikes out. Joe needs to go to the BP now.

[ButtleMan]

115 pitches and joe is keeping him in.
I really dont like this.

[ButtleMan]

Ichiro steals second and goes to third on the gm's throwing error and then RJ hits lopez.
1 out 2 on for Ibanez and RJ is still in the game!
Ibanez brings in Ichiro on a sac fly. :mad:

[ButtleMan]

Boston won 1-0. :mad:
RJ is still in the fucking game!!!!!!!!WHY??????

[ButtleMan]

Sexson strikes out on RJ's 130th pitch.

[ButtleMan]

Rafael Soriano in for the M's.
Damon - Melky - Jeter up for the Yanks.

[jonnyd]

giambi is gonna be the hero today

[ButtleMan]

Damon quickly pops out.

[ButtleMan]

Cabrera gets on thanks to a Yusi error.

[ButtleMan]

Melky has drawn 5 throws to first and a pitchout so far.

[ButtleMan]

Force out at second. Jeter on first. 2 outs for Giambi.

[ButtleMan]

Giambi k's...

[jonnyd]

fuckin balls...you think those fuckin royals could have scored a run? they didnt score after 745 monday night...wtf

[ButtleMan]

Farnsworth finally in for RJ.

[ButtleMan]

Perez grounds out 1 down.

[ButtleMan]

Good job by Farns. He gets a double play to end the inning.
Arod to lead off.
Boos or cheers when he gets to the plate???

[ButtleMan]

Putz in to close out the game for the M's.

[ShadeTree#55]

All eyes on Arod......

[AMJets]

Damn you Sexson for being so tall.

[ButtleMan]

And he grounds out to ss.

[ButtleMan]

Phillips flies out to right.

[ButtleMan]

Cairo up. Why isnt Joe PH for him?

[AMJets]

All comes down to Cairo. Yuck.

[AMJets]

Cairo up. Why isnt Joe PH for him?

Who would PH? Posada is hurt.

[AMJets]

Cairo beats it out.

[3rdAnd15Draw]

if your last name was "putz", wouldn't you change it?

bernie gets a chance at redemption after his horrible first ab

[AMJets]

You suck Bernie.

[nyjunc]

Good job by Farns. He gets a double play to end the inning.
Arod to lead off.
Boos or cheers when he gets to the plate???

ARod has been alot better(minus the 3 error game the other night), he saved us on Sunda and h;'s been better overall so as of now I am off his case.


A sweep would have been great but we get another series win and we get another good start from Randy. Things are looking up, we need to at last split this weekend to keep the momentum although w/ 3 wins or more we could bury the Jays.
