  1. I got wild 2 TV action going with US vs. Guatemala on one and the Yankees vs. Tigers on the other.

  2. Delia Surridge: You've come to kill me, haven't you?
    V: Yes.
    Delia Surridge: Thank God.

  3. heck of a run by Cabrera. He was shifted to the SS position, and made a foul ball catch near the dugout.

  4. If the Yankees didn't care, they should have just let the O's win. Girardi: go back in time and let ARod take that at-bat so your team loses the game. Everyone would be happier.
    I'm not watching the game, but Gameday sure looks like a team that's already lost just playing out the string.

    1. Verlander has been pretty darned good. Yanks are fouling off a bunch of pitches, but cant get anything going.

  5. If I'm Leyland, I let Jason stay out there for 150 pitches if he's still up for it and keeps pitching well. No need for Dancy Strutsworth, and the WS won't start for eight days.

  6. Avila looking out for his pitcher. Jason doesn't want to cool off too much, wants to get back out there and get it over with, so Avila flies out on the first pitch.

    Ooh! Girardi counters by bringing in Jabba, slow things down some. Avila's uno was for naught!

    1. Omar does his best to speed things up for his Ace on the mound, but it took three pitches from Jabba for Omar to get his team back on the field.

    2. I guess I thought Jabba's injury, being lanced with bat fragments and then thrown into a pit were more serious.

  7. Prediction: Ichiro! gets a third hit off Jason Verlander, and then Marcus Tieixiames grounds out for the CG shutout.

    1. I would also accept a 7-0 schedule. Lower-seeded team should host them all, as the Yankees have pointed up that five consecutive home games puts that team at a disadvantage.

  8. Is there anyone in the Tigger bullpen? Leo Nunez fouling off dozens of pitches here. If others do that, Jason could push up against that 150-pitch soft limit that AMR-Leyland has.

      1. Would be great though.
        Message would be: I don't trust any of you losers.
        I can't think of any field manager who's ever screwed up his situation more by making the right managerial move to win the game before and having it succeed.

    1. [If anyone's reading this after-the-fact, Snake is my new nickname for Gardner. Because "Gardner Snake."]

  9. Frankenstein butting to the head of a line at a fast food restaurant:
    Thirsty. Cup empty. Phil Coke.

  10. Filled Coke saves the game! What kind of dance does he do? Or does he get out a saltshaker and take a bit of the ball?
