Pettitte was brilliant in his first performance (7IP, 1ER, 6K) while Sonnanstine was less so (4.2IP, 5ER, 8H).
It's also a classic getaway game, with the Yanks wrapping up the 9 game road trip with which they began their season. Sitting at 4-4 right now, in the middle of an upside down-looking division, this game determines whether they enter their new digs with a winning or losing record.
Also, if you are stranded at work, be sure to check out the [Update:] comment thread to fill up on some good natured John Sterling and Suzyn Waldman fun-poking, along with up-to-the-moment overreactions to whatever happens.
Yeah, this game brings another Marley song, but it's a live version of one you that you might not have heard. I promise not to use more than one per series.
So I got to say,
Stop that train, I'm leavin' (oh, baby now!)
Stop that train, I'm leavin' (don't care what you say!)
Stop that train, I'm leavin' (and I said)
It won't be too long, whether I'm right or wrong,
Said, it wont be too long, whether I'm right or wrong
[Update: Apparently, there is some sort of crazy power-related delay going on...]

ReplyDeleteAndy Pettitte: Perfect game.
ReplyDeleteThere, I just jinxed it.
Red Sox are up 2-0. And MLB Gameday is a minimum of 3 mins behind for me at all times.
ReplyDeleteGood Marley tune... hand't heard it before.
ReplyDelete@steve, or was it A REVERSE JINX?!!1!ONE

God, I hope we don't go into our home opener 4-5. Anything to keep from exciting those idiots in Tampa who, based on the cowbells, are actually just confused Swiss bobsledding fans.
Grib - LOLOL! I can still hear the cowbells ringing in Nagano...
ReplyDelete@ Grib - It appears it was an actual jinx...
ReplyDeleteCurses.
ReplyDelete"And Cano made a CIRCUS CATTCCCH. OHH MYYY!"
ReplyDeletehow does a knuckleballer carry a no hitter into the 8th?
ReplyDeleteis it still a jinx if I meant to do it?
ReplyDeleteI think that would be "casting a spell" or some shit
ReplyDeleteeff that, i'll put a hex on some redsox mofos
ReplyDeleteit is high, it is far, it is off the top NO! It's a home run!
ReplyDeleteWhatever they did to fix Robby's swing in the off season seems to have worked.
ReplyDeleteDontcha motherfuckin' know?
ReplyDeleteAttaboy Cano.

ReplyDeleteHow about that Robbie Cano not hitting like a little girl in April?
ReplyDelete"Flips to Sonnanstine in time, Nooo he's safe"
ReplyDeleteFucking Carlos Pena... I'm calling steroids.
ReplyDeleteAnd congratulations to Schiff for breaking up Wakefield's no-hit bid. You are a gentleman and a scholar, sir.
ReplyDeletemy intent is only for your delight... and the redsox demise.
ReplyDeleteTop of the line up: The time is nigh
ReplyDeleteNice work Johnny Damon, now if you could only fix that fucking speech impediment...
ReplyDeletenow the internal debate heightens: It's 6:36, tie ballgame, 9 outs remain. Do I book it out of here and miss the rest of the game (guaranteed unless we go extras), or sit here at work when I could be anywhere else and listen to the end?
ReplyDeleteAnon - Hahaha... And drop the damn (-ny). You are a man, John Damon. Refer to yourself accordingly.
ReplyDeleteSchiff - That is the question I am facing as well. I think I'm going to stick it out for now.
ReplyDeleteget up and get ready, Mr. Rivera. Schiff would like to go home from work victorious.
ReplyDeleteBut more importantly I'd like to go home from the office, period.
ReplyDeleteAmen, brother. In Mo we trust.
ReplyDeletethuuuuuuuuu
ReplyDeleteyaaaankkeess

5-4 Road Trip. I'll take it.
