Royals vs Yankees - July 9, 2013
 

Shields vs Sabathia

Come on Big Lame James....

What a bullshit strikeout

Two BS strikeouts.

One of those nights.

**** these umps.

Sweet.... can't wait to get no-hit by C.C.

Thunderstorms about 20 minutes West of the Bronx.

Exact same thing I said.

Yeah, this isn't going to end well...

Alright James. Woo.

Looks like Shields is being his usual sharp self..

Cmon BIG GAME

Off to a great start I see.

Good game

Nice hanger.

I really dislike Robinson Cano

Lucky that was just a single.

Cano shouldn't be playing cheater.

Not a great start. And can anyone shut Rex the hell up.

Why can't Shields ever get through the first inning without giving up a run?

We should start Holland in Shields starts and let him finish the next 8 innings.

I'll say it again, I like JS (even though the facial hair looks rather silly), but for all the great outings he lost due to lack of run support, efforts like thses aren't helping me think he's God's gift to pitching. He's a pretty good pitcher, but I'm not sure he's still in the elite stratum anymore.

CCS is going to kill him tonight me thinkst....

If. You hear a gagging sound, followed by a muffled gunshot...my guy has infiltrated the booth.

Awful start so far Shields

What in the hell Shields..

Awesome.

Royal killer up to bat with the bases juiced.

Stop. The. ****ing. Bleeding.

You would have my eternal thanks.

Quick someone post the stats of Myers so far this year so I can really feel like shit.

Umm, **** you ump

Christ

.247 avg 3 hr 13 rbi .275 obp .388 slg and .664 ops 85 abs

sitting tonight

Am I seeing things, or is the home plate ump not wearing any chest protection?

Close one.

Good lord James, now dont **** around

If he is, it's very thin under his shirt.




And only 1 run in.

Shew. That could have been ugly.

I can see a line for the padding. That or he has saggy man tits.

That turned out a lot better than it should have.

Whew.

Now seems like a good time to strike back.

I'm not mad at Shields. I am pissed at whichever coach is telling the IF where to play. In the hit by Ichiro it looked like Gio was not at your typical DP depth which was stupid given the speed on 1st and at the plate. Had he been we probably turn 2.

JFC, Billy....

Billy always appears to be jogging.

Damn, Salvy hit it well, just unlucky

I wish someone had the cajones to swing and ****ing bomb a first pitch strike right down the middle.

Perez always appears to be waddling.

Yanks are most certainly getting calls tonight..the league must be pissed that we beat them last night

I see who the ump is favoring.

So CC is getting every call in the zip code, but he squeezes Shields. Welcome to Yankee Stadium.

CC with the benefit of a giant strike zone.

This home plate umpire is going to cause me to chop block a grandma.

This.

pretty much. I'm watching the yankee's feed and they showed and overhead of that last pitch. It never crossed the plate at any point.

Cain showing good range

Francouer signed with the Giants? I thought they were a smarter organization than that.

Trust your defense

I'm starting to get worried about shields. He hasn't pitched well in his last few outings and he doesn't look good early again this evening.

Nice.

They love Royals washouts Melky Cabrerra and Gregor Blanco as welll

Good god that runner sliding straight for Esky way away from the bag.

It's part of the game

There you go Tejada

I'm here late. Had to get my workout on.

Gio has to ****ing get going at the plate


he's expected to bat

No the runner must be within reach of the bag when sliding. You can slide at the 2nd baseman, but you must be within reach of the bag.

appeared to be outside, Fever? appeared???

Gordo bomb ... right here

they are going to continue to pitch around him as long as Eskly is slumping in the #2 spot

another guy who needs to get his shit together at the plate

Agreed. I hate having a hole in the middle of the top 3.

ecobar in the two hole kills a royals rally again...

Lough needs to be batting #2 but Yost in all his wisdom simply will not send up 3 lefties in a row.

.250ish is what I expect out of him and that's all I want. He is there for his glove. It's not his fault Yost is a dumb ass.

****ing Yanks are bitching about the Ump??? SERIOUSLY???

I remember when Kevin Long played in Wichita with the Wranglers.

I have his card signed.

Shields just does not look right...like he is hurting or something

Sure would be nice if we got half the calls CC is getting

Come on DP here

Nice
