What an Annoyance

Since Picasner has kidnapped Annie, forced her into the car and transported her across state lines to eat pirogis and sit through minor league baseball in Pittsburg, I guess its my responsibility to watch and report on the real games being played in New York this weekend.

Friday’s Score: Boston and Cervilli 6 – Yankees 3.

Highlights: Teixeira hits a 1st inning 2 run home run.

What the Yankees Learned: Don’t hit 1st inning 2 run dingers. They’ve lost 3 of 4 recent games when this calamity has occurred.

Saturday’s Game: Yankees 5 – Boston 2

Highlights: Tim McCarver and Joe “I Love You Tim” Buck announced they are going to take advantage of the recent federal court ruling suspending Proposition 8 in California.

For one moment during the game I thought I should lighten up on Buck. While discussing a called third strike on Big PapiRoid, Buck commented, “Our opinion doesn’t matter.” Finally one of these guys stumbled into a great truth. Fortunately, a short time later, Tim’s Heart Throb dropped this cogent analytical comment, “Granderson used his legs to steal 2nd.” Dear Joe, what other options did he have? Crawl? Call a cab? Hop on a Harley? And he gets paid for this?

Mark Texeira and Robinson Cano again demonstrated that they are the best right side defensive combo in baseball.

What the Yankees Learned: Curtis Granderson is clueless against left handed pitching. Right, we already knew that. Probably not worth mentioning then that B. Gardner’s BA continues to sink like a torpedoed submarine.

What We All Fear the Most: A. J. TatBoy starts tomorrow. I do hope all of the Yankee on-deck prayer people get an early start pleading for mercy from their supreme being of choice.

Have mercy on our souls.

Hurry back P. Not sure how much more of this I can take.
