You gotta love these guys.

I hope the rotation lines up so that Felix pitches Game 1 of the World Series
Poochie - July 2, 2009
I thought Batista, Johjima, Woodward, and Langerhans all played great tonight.
Nice to get those performences vs a guy like Sabathia, facing a sweep that would have negated our good work in LA.
And of course Ichiro and Gutierrez continue their stellar play. Franklin is on fire right now and it’s absurd we got a guy who is currently playing like a Top 5 centerfielder in the entire game, for a Putz and company
Rudy4three - July 2, 2009
Great team? Or GREATEST TEAM?!
Seattle Rodiners - July 2, 2009
No politics.

They're huge and they're sting crazy!

They ate the ballgirrrrrrrllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Said something ignorant like "prospects are unreliable because they're unproven" or something.
Then, suddenly, [bees!]

Ichiro
via Drayer:
Awesome Ichiro, hating on Yankees fans.
appleshampoo - July 2, 2009
That was the only part of the game that I saw.
As Slow Country so adequately stated above, the Yankees – and their fans – can suck a dick.
JLProck - July 2, 2009
This felt like a really "big" win
It’s just the timing, obviously, but with Felix lined up tomorrow, we could have 4-5 on the tough roadie sewed up with two games to go for some gravy.

Jeff Sullivan - July 2, 2009
Oh my god this is the best thing ever.
Jack Moore - July 2, 2009
Incredible.
Wilder. - July 2, 2009
It'd be cool to let that run one more second and instead of the box score showing up, it says "Suck it New York"
kentroyals5 - July 2, 2009
I like how he slings the ball right into his glove.
ThundaPC - July 2, 2009
Bwhahahaha!
Goose - July 2, 2009
Suck it!
appleshampoo - July 2, 2009
Ichiro will never cease to amaze!
N-E-V-E-R.
seamariners85 - July 2, 2009
Can't wait to hear the quote on this masterpiece.
kentroyals5 - July 2, 2009
I wish the TV caught the booing :(
Jeff Sullivan - July 2, 2009
I am so sad I was listening to this game on the radio now
OlSalty - July 2, 2009
AHAHAHAHAHA
That’s fucking awesome!
OlSalty - July 2, 2009
How does Ichiro manage to keep one-upping himself
You would think that at some point there has to be a limit to how awesome one person can be.
OlSalty - July 2, 2009
He has a ways to go...
He hasn’t come out on the field riding the moose, drinking from a bottle of 50 year-old single malt, and waving a cutlass yet.
He’s saving that for next year.
Sidi - July 2, 2009
Oh my goodness...
I somehow I could totally see the moose thing happening. It would be…AMAZING.
SethGrandpa - July 3, 2009
Bad fucking ass.
Teej - July 3, 2009
This is awesome.
Slow Country - July 3, 2009
Instantly one of my favorite non-Raul gifs ever.
And just when we least expect it, he’ll find a way to top this.
Big Jared - July 3, 2009
FSN has a good replay at 1:35:30.
And they boo him, but the sound is kind of faint.
Wilder. - July 3, 2009
I also like the guy either in the booth or somewhere behind the plate who immediately goes 'oooooooooooooooooooo' on Branyan's home run.
Wilder. - July 3, 2009
That is kick ass.
wadswerth - July 3, 2009
I love Ichiro
InSpokane - July 3, 2009
PLAYOFFS!!!!!!!!
I Lick Squirrels - July 2, 2009
Great way to head to Boston.
This was an impressive series. I really thought they were going to get killed, but instead they were only roughed up a bit, mostly on the Bronx-special homer. If they can keep hitting the ball the way they have here I expect they will keep the false hope going well into August.
Bearskin Rugburn - July 2, 2009
Apparently Damon doesn't bother to check the scouting reports..
“It seems like all those guys came in and were throwing 95 [mph],” Yankees outfielder Johnny Damon said. “They were throwing strikes and they don’t walk too many guys.”
Referring to our penRudy4three - July 2, 2009
Apparently Branyan's bomb Mohegan Sun Sports Bar that's in Yankee stadium. He's the first player to do so.
Goose - July 2, 2009
Hit it that is.
Goose - July 2, 2009
BBTN loved the HR.
msb - July 2, 2009
I'm sorta starting to believe that this team is actually capable of winning the division
That was an impressive game, and while we lost the last two it’s not like we were completely blown out by one of the better teams in baseball in their own house. So, maybe there really is something here. Playing .500 ball against the Dodgers and Yankees is pretty darn great.
Also we really need more Langerhans.
OlSalty - July 2, 2009
I would say we absolutely have a chance. I think things will be a lot more clear after the deadline.
gregrabble - July 3, 2009
Yeah, with the division this weak, we really are just a couple pieces away from making a serious run.
Not to get my hopes up or anything.
Hopefulmsfan - July 3, 2009
I can't even imagine LL in a playoff atmosphere. That shit would be intense.
gregrabble - July 3, 2009
2007 was thhe closest we've gotten, and that was pretty wild
dbroncos31 - July 3, 2009
Lackey's resurgence worries me
And we need a 3B solution. That being said, I think we’ll stay in for at least a while.

Anyone headed to the Pitchf/x Summit next week?

Are you supplying the merkins?

Sure enough

merkin - July 3, 2009
Z is king
I have a hunch everyone will start to appreciate Langerhans the same way they appreciate Russell, Guti, and pre-injury Endy. He makes the Bavasi sting go away.
greg briley - July 3, 2009
Woo! Langerhans!

Why, that site's got a veritable who's who of marginal Major Leaguers!
Bearskin Rugburn - July 3, 2009
Even better than the Minnesota Bass Fishermen site???

Boy howdy!
Washburn has someone to lend the deer farming magazines!
msb - July 3, 2009
Missed the game
How was Langerhans?
Fearless Frog - July 3, 2009
Awesome.
katal - July 3, 2009
Russell Branyan is a fucking monster.
The best was the replay of the HR in which you see every Yankee (except Cabrera) practically get whiplash from turning around so quickly. Everyone in the stadium knew that was out the second he hit it.
Funny story: I interned with Turner Construction last summer and I was lucky enough to get assigned to the new Yankee Stadium project. So I got to see it get built all summer, which was awesome. So I go back to visit my co-workers in March on my college’s spring break, and toured the finished stadium. We went into the Batter’s Eye restaurant (the one Branyan drilled) and I asked my colleague if anyone could hit the restaurant. He said he thought it was too far out for anyone to reach. I said that I thought that a guy like A-Rod could do it once or twice a year, but everyone else seemed to have the opinion that it was too far out to dead CF for anyone to hit it. So it was awesome to see Russell prove me right.
dbroncos31 - July 3, 2009
Is there any video better than ESPN's on his Home Run?
InSpokane - July 3, 2009
I wish I could recall now who said it
but over the weekend, someone said they thought the new stadium was quieter, possibly because of the wider concourses, and no walls to bounce the sound back in
msb - July 3, 2009
Dave Niehaus and Rick Rizzs were talking about that very subject in the pre-game yesterday.
Perhaps one of them was Sims, I only half half an ear tuned to the pre-game
