ARTIESLIVER vs BARMAN (NYY vs TB) smak thread

[barman]

Tank Tankersly being raked as B Phillips yaks

======
Dee had late schedule change and I only had one going besides FISH and BFAN. Since those two got their own tickets, I've postponed my attendance to Thursday afternoon game

 

[artiesliver]

That was a Keppinger home run

Junior at 597 coming in tonight

My bad. Brandon Phillips just homered as well off of Tankersley.

 

[artiesliver]

Horrible hedging story on the Cincy game.

Short version....had some size on the Braves in game 1 and Cincy tonight. Braves lose, so I chase for game 2, hit it. Decide that I will hedge my Cincy play, so I offset most of it w/Florida, now I wish I had just left it alone.

 

[artiesliver]

Nice catch by Crawford.

 

[barman]

Nice catch by Crawford.

TB OUTFIELD D is not too bad either

Fun Fact...Yesterday's TB error on a popup (miscommunication between CC and Bartlett) was their first in eight games.

 

[barman]

THAT BALL IS DROPPED by Kenneth JR!

Two runs score...8-7....

 

[artiesliver]

Particularly Crawford and Upton, not a big fan of Eric Hinske

 

[artiesliver]

Bases loaded w/Fish in Cincy...

 

[artiesliver]

Just switched to my "free" MLB to watch the Reds game. Would love to see the Fish come back and win this one now that I have laid off my Cincy play.

WOW, Junior almost dropped shot to the gap, juggled it but brought it in.

 

[barman]

WOW....Amezaga hammers one to deep right gap...Griffey has it pop out of his mitt, but snags it regardless..... On to the bottom of eighth

 

[barman]

urp...forgot you had the MLB feed workin'

===
As for Hinske, yeah he's nothing notable.

Seems so far that late April pickup Gabe Gross is an above average defender with strong arm.

 

[artiesliver]

I've come to the conclusion that I need a wall of TV's like the sportsbook at Caesars. PIP is just not getting it done tonight, too much action, too many games.

heh

Ever been to the ESPN End Zone?

I hit the one in Baltimore last year and that was pretty much the scene in back of restaurant.

 

[artiesliver]

I think the MLB feed may be 1) a promotion or 2) an operational SNAFU going back to NHL Center Ice (on the same channels).

Jonny (w/o the "h") scores again.

Exactly like that. We have one here in NYC, but I've been to the one in B'more as well as the one in Orlando (not as good). Make it to Camden Yards when in Baltimore? Awesome ballpark.

 

[artiesliver]

Going to the Top of 9th in Cincy (once these Houseboat commercials are over)....

1 down, K
2 down, 6-3

 

[barman]

Ayuh...caught an Orioles Sun-Day game vs San Francisco on same trip....Definitely a sweet yard

 

[artiesliver]

Pop out to 6, Reds win 8-7.

Back to the game that matters or at least the Series that matters. Yanks threatening to plate at least one tonight and avoid the shutout.

YEAH!!!! Yanks score, now only trail 7-1...2 out rally?

 

[artiesliver]

That fourth pitch to Jeter looked like a strike. As did that pitch (pitch 6).

And a Happy Birthday to Yogi Berra....

So much for a 2 out rally...

 

[barman]

Yankees tryin' to fuck with my Under 9.....
