The Girl Who Loved Andy Pettitte

The year is over, now I never have to see this again:

Of course, I thought that the last time too.

- C. Britton relieved D. Robertson
- G. Velazquez grounded out to first
- J. Ellsbury doubled to deep left
- J. Lowrie doubled to deep right center, J. Ellsbury scored
- C. Carter walked
- G. Kottaras struck out swinging
- J. Van Every tripled to deep right, C. Carter and J. Lowrie scored
- J. Bailey walked
- S. Casey flied [...]

I don’t even really know how Billy Traber and Chris Britton got back into the bullpen, but at least the Yankees have some mop-up men who are not afraid to allow runs, right?
Ponson is so bad and it’s finally really caught up to him, I don’t think he’ll be having any BABIP induced “good” outings [...]

Curtosey of the New York Post:

Ex-Yankee pitcher Hideki Irabu - once ridiculed by George Steinbrenner as a “fat, pus-y toad” - was arrested in Osaka, Japan, today for allegedly assaulting a bartender after drinking 20 mugs of beer, a police official said.
Irabu, 39, became angered after his credit card was rejected. He allegedly pushed [...]

There are now like a billion starting pitchers on the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre roster, including Russ Ohlendorf who they have got doing starting work until he gets into [...]

The only things I am willing to discuss about this game right now are:
Man wearing a Kaz Matsui jersey–why would anyone spend money on this? If you spent money on it, why wear it out of the house ever?

David Wright’s incredibly horrible shoes:

LaTroy Hawkins needs to be DFAd and Russ Ohlendorf needs an extended–if not [...]

Ugh, it’s official:

I know they’re hoping to capture some of the “hot streak” Ponson had in a bottle and there is no Roger Clemens to sign this year but I feel this is going to be an absolute disaster. Is there any way to heal Chien-Ming Wang faster because I miss him so much already.
Other [...]

I don’t really have the words in me to explain my frustration and anger at this game, so make due with a picture.

Every time Kyle Farnsworth pitches I die a little inside.
At least this is the last year of his fabulous contract.
