DAMN! I was really hoping for a afternoon weekend game. but what the hell. RHP - Nathan Eovaldi, (4-1 4.27 ERA) VS. RHP - Jesse Hahn, (2-4 3.69 ERA) Anyone taking bets on whether 2015 version of Bob Uecker will be in the lineup?
I have distant memories of a pitcher with Detroit, Hank Aguirre pre-DH.....horrible hitter, and when he fouled off a pitch at the Stadium, the crowd gave him a rousing applause. Wasn't a bad pitcher.
Tonight's lineup................ CF - Gardner 3B - Headley DH - Rodriquez 1B - Teixeira C - McCann RF - Beltran LF - Flores SS - Gregorius 2B - Pirela
✴No Drew Still time to go 4-3 on the trip and at this point I'll "accept" 3-4. Anything less than 3-4 drops the Yanks' record by (at least) three games. NO GOOD. Going ...gulp....1-6, or, yikes ..0-7 and Mr. Optimistic (me) may begin to wonder. Lmao..... GO YANKS!
I like what I'm seeing with McCann, this year....... He definitely has found his groove in the AL, and looks very comfy Hitting.... As for Beltrans-vestite, I still think & always will, believe the Hiring of Carlos was unnecessary, especially for his age, and the amount of $$$ with His Contract...... Carlos looks out of place in the box, as if he's a rookie trying to figure out the game at this level.......Hell, I'd rather have Ichiro back in RF.......!!! No kidding.....!
Beltran has obviously lost a step and 1/2 in RF ......and to make matters worse, he just isn't making good progress with his hitting. Not good...maybe Gentleman Joe Girardi can send a message in advance and cut down on his ABs and start "the other guy" a bit more often in RF. Ichiro had become rather harmless with the stick last year with the Yanks. Too bad Heathcott is injured again. But Flores is here....are you listening Joe? Yanks NEED some semblance of Beltran's last full season (with Cards) to help this offense.
As long as you've been a Yankees Fan Rick, You deserve a Yanx 10 game winning streak......... My emoticons are not opening up, otherwise I'd put up HAPPY BIRTHDAY RICK..... I damn near forgot your Birthday, and shouldn't forget it, as your B'Day is exactly One Week after Kim's born on the 23rd.....CHEERS OL' BUDDY.......:-D Fk my PC itself is not running worth a shit with everything......
Thanks Rob. #61 but.......60 is the new 40. at least that what I'm telling myself. BTW: in case anyone missed it, John Flaherty just said, "Drew is getting the night off tonight because he's been struggling a little of late". Apparently to Flaherty A LITTLE BIT OF LATE means the last 2 years.
Meanwhile this dikhead Lawrie still has a hard'on for the Yanks. I'd love to see a Yankee pitcher deck Lawrie. It's just not in their DNA.
Your welcome Rick, always...... LMAO, at that comment on Drew, cuz it is so effing true......!!! BTW- MY PC all the sudden won't even let me reply with the text of yours, which I'm trying to reply too.........first emoticons, now this.....WTF...? Could it be the real Evil Dark Empire TWB-Cable, I wouldn't put it past those fks. Hell tonights game even came a bit late, just in time to see McCann's hit, & RBI.....
No excuses for the Yanks, their pitching should control the A's but.....they're facing two pretty good young pitchers these past two nights....(Gray, Hahn)..... losing the first game of this series messed everything up.
Well I'll be damned.......Beltran goes downtown with a HR, and 2 Runs score, Yanx take the lead..........I still don't care for Beltran tho'....... Not saying I wasn't excited to see him drive one to Right Center, over the fence..... I just don't think the Yanx are getting or have got the bang for their bucks with Carlos....nice shot tho'
4-3 Yanx on top.......... Rick you just may get that B'Day wish come true yet, and- to YOU RICK............!!! Now the emoticons are working, rather I had to re-boot my PC, and I should add 61 of these emoticons, one per year for ya' Rick.........!!!
Beltran drives in Tex with a sacrifice line drive to LF, Tex scores, Yanks 5 A's 3...........you may just get your B'Day wish Rick,...........
