Jeter at 2699. What kind of acknowledgement does he get for breaking 2700 at Fenway ?

Jon Miller + Joe Morgan + Steve Phillips = the stuff nightmares are made of

2 Yeah 3 and a half hours of lameness. At least they have people that tell them when its ” Gone “.

Jeterain!

Also, espNESN already having technical difficulties with their audio, Morgan’s mic isn’t working!

Jeterian, I mean.

[4] One down, two to go.

God, I love Jeter.

Also, I think gonna watch this game in Spanish just to avoid Miller/Morgan/Phillips

Later, Beckett will probably say that Jeter did not play the game the right way by swinging at the first pitch of the game.

Um, strike one?

Someone remind me - the right way is letting the RS win by not bunting when Schilling has his ankle problem, isn’t it?

I have Gameday, but I know that Pedera would have gritted his way to avoiding that error.

Cano, not playing the game the right way.

[11] He would have gruttily dove, although he probably doesn’t get near the ball, but he would have dove and that’s all that matters.

No #55 for you, Ellsbury.

Have a seat, angry elf.

right down the middle you fucking hobbit:  sit down!

What was Caño’s error, folks?

17: ranging to his left towards first, making a backhanded grab and just kind of booted the ball.

Truck Brains!

Gojira!

Scratch one bus.

Crushed.

Junk yard another bus.

Can’t wait for Beckett to start headhunting tonight.

Jeter at 2700. What kind of acknowledgement did he get for breaking 2700 at Fenway - with a lead-off HR?

Can’t wait for Beckett to start headhunting tonight.

Neither can Bob Watson, so he can suspend whichever Yankees Beckett throws at.

Jeter at 2700. What kind of acknowledgement did he get for breaking 2700 at Fenway - with a lead-off HR?

None, espNESN tanked their audio so they didn’t even have to acknowledge it.

Jeter at 2700. What kind of acknowledgement did he get for breaking 2700 at Fenway - with a lead-off HR?

Most fans were still pawkin’ their caws.

Jon- You doing the game?

Yazus, Youkilis is such a baby.

[25] shower of panties & g-strings!

Jon- You doing the game?

Not on location, no.  Covering from my couch tonight.
Unfortunately I missed this game by one night.  Go in for the next two games against the White Sox.

[25] Morgan eventually grabbed Philips headset and pointed out that it was his number “27th hunred…er twenty-seven-hundredth…um…hit”.

I dunno whether they actually told the crowd or put it up on the scoreboard or anything. I would think/hope…you have to acknowledge Boston as a baseball aware town…that had they done so there would have been some sort of grudging acknowledgement from the crowd - hell, even boo’s.

I think it was lost in the HR.

Damon for some reason thought he was capable of jumping 20 feet in the air to catch that ball off the wall.

31- Couches are nice. I love mine.

Well Suzyn…...

Enough of this 2 out crap.  Close the inning.

2701

Close the inning.

According to Morgan, that’s not up to the pitcher, but the team at bat. “Veteran” teams don’t let you close out the inning, whereas inexperienced teams just roll over and give up.

Right at that point came Varitek’s “double” prompting Morgan to spout “See, veteran.”

[38] That is correct. No rookie has ever gotten a 2-out hit in the history of baseball. Rookies just aren’t consistent enough to do so, and they don’t “know how to play the game” yet.

I’m liking the Tex guy. A lot.

Dear Alex,

Please take this over the monster.

Thanks in advance.

Is it to much to hope for Fenway to change the standings board on the wall to be Wild Card standings? I don’t think so…

Please pad Thai.

I just realized that I’m about to go do a “12” mile run on a bike in front of a TV. I’m going to watch my first Yankee game of the year? Woo!

Productive out. The Katt likes.

Gojira is a veteran and there are two outs…

Morgan:  “...but in my mind tonight’s game is Josh Beckett vs CC Sabathia.”

Same as in my mind.

Wow. After being subjected to the FOX broadcast of this and the all world team of Morgan, Miller, and Philips, I would actually pay money to hear Michael Kay and anyone else from YES.

Productive out.

Counts the same as Jeter’s homer.

F you Nancy.

Bad luck a plenty today. Swisher, two warning track (well, only at Fenway, but still), Matsui. And we have 4 runs through 3 innings, with the bestest pitcher ever to play the game the right way.

After being subjected to the FOX broadcast of this and the all world team of Morgan, Miller, and Philips, I would actually pay money to hear Michael Kay and anyone else from YES.

Agreed.

The Katt is a discerning fan, indeed.
It reminds me of a joke about a monkey that roots for the Jets.

49- Not exactly but I’m Mc Loving it.

[50] Was that Nancy? I thought Rocco was making a rare appearance tonight.

There goes the quality start for Beckett.

Nyah. Pthhhut !

[56] If he keeps this up, he will have a CG, 12 ER, 120 pitches. I´m down for it.

55- I’m not sure TB. If its Rocco no wonder it was caught.
Pete- Please no Jets tonight, I’m a mere human.

[57] That means we can plate what, 14, 15 runs with an error or two ?

Why isn’t CC pitching for Molina ?

Pederoia: What - I fouled that off, and you call it a strike?  Come ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooon…............
Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan, Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez, I mean, just,
come OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON, god-damned m-f-er son of a b…

s/pitch/hitt/

[60]
Repeat after every pitch.

Wow, that was the most ridiculous anecdote/historical tale ever my Miller. Where the hell did he come up with that.

[58]
It’s a funny joke, OTF.

[63] what wasit, Lawrence?

True Grit. Elves are are better than Latin fellas. The Klan IM’d me.

damn, the Rod looked ponderous on that one…

This inning is not going well.  Way too many pitches.

Modammit, do not let this happen, CC.

Joke away Pierre. I need a chuckle right about NOW.

“That’s all they get”—CC Sabathia.

Just reminding you, big guy!

Fuckkin A.

It worked!

Miller could not have sounded more disappointed at that DP.

[74]
The first announcing moment of this game that I’m sorry I missed.

Time for a Cano HR, perhaps?

Miller could not have sounded more disappointed at that DP.

So much the better.

Sonfabitch ! Someone just ran over a skunk nearby. Ugh.

[74] Interesting juxtaposition to hear his call of Matsui’s home run versus Pedroia’s single. You would’ve thought Scrappy’s single just won the WS… while Matsui’s homerun was during BP. Disgusting.

First “they play the game the way it’s supposed to be played” reference from Morgan!!!!!! Albiet, in reference to Texas.

How about a Swisher HR - to make Theo look that much more ingenious?

[76] Possible. No baserunners.

[76] - Eerie.

Nice job Jonathan.

Your welcome, guys.

And….done.

Wow, Jonathan.
Just - wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice effen call JS. Nice call.

Cano, still not playing the game the right way. (HRs aren’t the right way, 2-out hits and productive outs are the right way)

Look how he waited on that ball.
Robinson just being Manny.

Its that magic dog.

Cano gets the hit, but credit Swisher with the RBI for grounding out weakly to the elf and not distracting Robbie with any pesky baserunners to think about.

Magic dog?

Pedroia didn’t even dive on that.  Where’s the “right way” now?

Its that magic dog.

She did kind of tip me off.

I like HR yielding Beckett.  I’ve missed him.

Hmmmm. 2 outs, and Molina is a veteran, so he should get a hit. But he’s old, slow, and sucks at hitting. Hmmm…

oh ! Veterans apparently do let pitchers close out the inning once in a while.

Pete-Jonathan has a magic dog. Think June.

Beckett is such a gamer.  Big game, primetime, and he delivers.

Molina felt bad for Big Game Beckett, so he elected to not utilize his veteran status to get an automatic 2-out hit.

Pontiac commercial doing a cover of “Godzilla”. Yeah, workin’ the flow. Circular.

Beckett is lucky there’s only a five spot up there.  He’s been getting smoked since the first pitch.  I’d like to see CC hit his stride here.  Enough of this Andy “battle cat” Pettitte schtick.

Ah, now I remember.

Wouldn’t bet on him vs. the Katt, though.

Incidentally, that reminds me of a joke about a magic dog that roots for the Knicks…

The Yankees have not not scored in any inning tonite. Just sayin’.
