Al:
How friggin weird is it that leaving Tampa to face the Yankees in the Bronx feels like a respite?
Doug:
Seriously. If I had to enduah anothah 9 innings of Crawford and the Rays right now, I'd be calling up my Emo nephew for tips on cutting myself.
Al:
I've nevah seen a guy steal with such impunity.
Mike:
Are you kidding me? If Crawford sent Varitek a confidential business offer via email on behalf of Engr. Michael Abe of Benin Oil and Gas Company in Benin Republic, I'm pretty sure Tek would be happy to provide his bank account information to begin forthwith procedures for license reassignment and actualizing the rest of the project.
Doug:
But back to the new Yankee Stadium, Lestah sure did look good.
Mike:
And as the Herald puts it, Jason Bay Owns New York — In four games against New York this season, Bay is 9-for-15 (.600) with two homers and seven RBI.
Al:
Meanwhile, lest anyone accuse of total homerism, can I say that Teixeira hitting solo bombs from both sides of the plate was pretty impressive.
Mike:
Yeah, but as is always the case for the Oh-fer-21st Century Yankees, when the game is on the line — For instance, say, with runners on first and second with one out in the bottom of the ninth — He goes out not with a bang but with a whimpah.
Doug:
Clap. Clap. ClapClapClap.
