Mariano Rivera returned to the scene of the crime and put on two innings of Houdini action to pin down the win. Javier Vazquez was impressed:
“Only he can get out of that, believe me,” Vazquez said. “We were talking about it. He’s like Iceman out there. He really is unbelievable. What he does and he’s so capable of doing every time out, we have so much confidence. He was really cool.”
Hope you had a notepad with you in the ninth and tenth, Javy, because you almost made Dontrelle Willis look “together”.
Jon Papelbon, coincidentally, blew last night’s save against the Rockies on a walkoff home run by none other than Jason Giambi. If that’s not some kind of celestial event, planets and stars aligning and such, then I don’t know what is.
Great early innings sent me to bed by 10:30, no fewer than four runners got hung up inexplicably on the base paths or trying to take a what-was-he-thinking base. Curtis Granderson is all too happy to help out lately. Per 1Yank’s announcement last night, TB lost again and are now 8-10 in the month of June. Yanks pull to 2 1/2 games over the competition on top of Boston’s Rocky Mountain low.
Meanwhile, R.A. Dickey befluttered the Detroit Tigers for eight shutdown innings in the type of showing that makes Jim Leyland all stiff in the knees. Four hits, two walks, four strikeouts, they’re gonna start calling this guy “Dickey Aces”. Jose Reyes almost went cycle again, marking the tenth multi-hit game in the month of June. Save the rude visit to the Bronx, the Mets stay hot and Jose Reyes is the steam whistle. He’s crossed the plate 18 times in the month of June so far. Jerry Seinfeld and Keith Hernandez seem really close. Also overhead in the booth, had me laughing, Keith on Zumaya: “His bread and butter is the cheese”. Think about that one for a sec. Phil Coke is fat. Four two-out RBIs for the Mets. When you’re hot, you’re hot!
Joe still wearing the watch. i fucking hate that
feckin, Jeter called that balk before blue did.
Home plate umpire still hasn’t called it Lib.
I wonder if the alarm still goes off 10:15pm and an unthinking Torre picks up the dugout phone and says “Get Mo ready”.
Phil Cuzzi made that great call down the line in the playoffs didn’t he?
Stottlemyre does that from his boat Lib.
614 hahahahahahahah
I think Mel’s boat is called the “Mo Better Blues”
(I knew you would love the 614.)
Sheriff of Rockland County- ahahahahahahahahahahaha
because 1 wasn’t good enough
get Mo ready…..Stottlemyre hahahahahahhahahahahahahaha
komex looks like Sandler’s Little Nicky

UN-FUCKING BELIEVABLE !!!!!!!!!!
http://scores.espn.go.com/mlb/boxscore?gameId=300625101
Kay is going to have a celebrity roast with all the people he speaks too.
Yeah it’s a battlin’ night for CC, Super.
4-6-3 baby
You just wrote Lou’s next skit, Lev.
He has got to say “he said” or “he goes” upwards of 200X during any 9 inning game.
That would be a hell of a drinking game.
Lou’s too busy with summer school co-eds.
How did Jose….Jose,Jose,Jose get out to the coast so quickly ?(sitting over the HP ump’s right shoulder)
Not a big enough stage for that party
Someone get Kay his special blanket.
summer school co eds…..sweet
that greasy fuck was pitching Cano inside in his 1st AB.
anybody read the Steinbrenner book by Madden yet? The little lady picked it up for yours truly today.
Yeah LB looks like CC’s gonna have to grind it out tonight (as Mr. Clemens used to say).
Who HASN’T Michael Gay talked to?
TRIVIA: I’ll guess Koufax & ????
Kay just said that he talked to Scully and Scully told him that he is going to start saying, “SEE YA!!!!” on every HR.
Kay wet himself.
Good thing the Rays don’t play in the NL West.
ahahaahhahaahahahhaahahahhaha
wet himself,,,hahaha
Kay should just walk around with a tape recorder, and then every time he flips a quote, he says “oh wait I have it right here [click]” and plays someone else talking.
Wait I have it right here-ahahahahahahahahahahaha
He edits out, “Hey bucket head, nice to see ya”
Where’s Kev talkin bout the battling Mets?
I know 4Ever is busy bustin heads for the 5 fingered discount at Nathan’s on coney island
How does Padilla ever lose?
When did he add the Bugs Bunny curve?
bucket head…hahaha.
yeah really. 55mph.
I was gonna go to bed just now but I had to stay to hear Sam Elliot say “backbone” and “the banquet beer”.
Yankee bats making another so so pitcher look good
I think Padilla just filed suit against Arizona.
He buzzed the Governor up and in before he did it though.
enjoy, night owls.
Five finger discount…..hahahaha
Actually, just did come from the boardwalk but not on job time. Fireworks every Friday!
I see Pelf had another decent start and DW is finishing off this June right. It’s a dam shame I can’t get exicited about it!
Jr has an early game so the Yank game is the perfect put me to sleeper. TY YES!!!
Enjoy gents, I miss talkin to youse……..a little!
Sam Elliot-ajhaahahahahahahahahahahahaah
I saw that before Lib and was going to say that I wanted to come back as Sam in a Coor’s commercial in my next life.
4Ever is the minute man.
Knew you were snakin.
Pelf is something to get excited about because, aside from his hand licking adventure vs the Bombers, he’s been great.
CC – lol
a little-ahahahahahahaahhaahhaah
Typical mexican Padildo is…runs his mouth like he’s a tough guy and then pussys out
That worked out alot better than the last time Biggie hit somebody on purpose.
“Yankees suck” chant for the second time in Chavez Ravine……….they continue that in the parking lot as they leave in the seventh inning.
let me know what happens with CC. later.
absolutely love that from CC. About gotdamn time. And gives him a look back after the DP. Let’s see what Vincenza does, if anything. This game could get very interesting real soon.
Sux scored 3 in the first and Wakey gave it back and 1 more in the second and third.
