Moving Day

This is the last post on our TypePad site.  We've moved to our new digs, and we are bringing everything with us.  If you are still reading this, then you are waiting for the dns elves to work their magic.  In the mean time, you can jump to the new site directly.

We will be carting things up for the movers and won't be around here to check comments much.  If you have trouble, you can email attackgerbil.

Congratulations, Big Papi. His contract is a personal point of contention for him. He is living up to his side of the bargain this year, but will that make any difference in how the Sox treat their only All-Star selection for his next contract offer?

Long Hard Road: Sox-A's Gamer III

The Red Sox are in danger of getting swept at the Coliseum.  Aaron Cook starts for the Sox, while big rookie righty A.J. Griffin gets the go for Oaktown.  Comment away.

David vs. Gol--wait, it's another David: Yanks-Rays Gamer

Phelps v Price.  Don't get swept.

Let's Try That Again: Yanks-Rays Gamer, Sox-Oaktown Gamer

The Yankees are up early on the Rays again, not that it helped them last night when the wash was done.  Boston is visiting the A's and their action starts at 10pm for the east coast faithful.  Comment away on both games here as we head into our midweek vacation.

Breathing Room: Yanks-Rays Gamer I

Freddy Garcia was spotted two before he took the mound, and sat the Rays down in order in the first. Matt Moore is pitching for TB at the Trop. Comment away.

Star Struck: PaleSox-Yanks Gamer IV

News note: Jeter, Cano, and Granderson made the ASG list from the Bombers, while Ortiz made it in from the Red Sox.

Meanwhile, Gavin Floyd is pitching for the White Sox in today's game at The Stadium, while Phil Hughes gets the nod for the Yankees.  Comment away.

Compression: PaleSox-Yanks Gamer III

I would like to watch this game, but modesty prevents me.  (My net connection sucks today).

Left Coast Late Night: Sox-Mariners Gamer

Franklin Morales saw his fine start obscured by a stellar outing from King Felix.  Now, Seattle-based Sox fans such as Devine are treated to game two at Safeco, hopefully featuring a bit more offense for Aaron Cook's sake as the Sox face Hector Noesi.  Comment away.

Adam Warren, Come On Down: PaleSox-Yanks Gamer II

The right-hander makes his major-league debut tonight at The Stadium as the Yankees start plugging holes. Too bad this guy wasn't available, he looks pretty good. Jose Quintana goes for Chicago. Lineups follow, comment away.

Forget healthcare. Pizza debates are far more entertaining and ultimately delicious. Kevin Youkilis and the South Siders are at The Stadium, sending Dylan Axelrod (best name for a metal drummer ever?) with Ivan Nova on the bump for the Bombers. Comment away.

Bad Break

Andy Pettitte's ankle is fractured.  *sigh*

Whither Moyer? Jays-Sox Gamer

Jamie Moyer is getting a tryout in the minor leagues for the Jays.  In the mean time, Ricky Romero faces the Fenway crew while Jon Lester is on the mound for Boston.

Krueg Reports: Tribe-Yanks Gamer

We have our man in the field, with Jimenez on the mound for Cleveland and Pettitte pitching for the Bombers. Comment away.

More Beast Power: Jays-Sox Gamer II

Aaron Laffey moves into a starter's role for the first time since 2010 as the Jays face Daisuke Matsuzaka and the Red Sox at Fenway. Toronto and Boston share the same record at 38-35, which curiously would be enough for a share of the lead with the ChiSox in the Central. Comment away.

The View From Up Here: Tribe-Yanks Gamer II

The Yankees nudged adhead of the Rangers for the best record in the bigs (though Texas still leads +89 to +60 in run diff) as we head into tonight's action.  Phil Hughes defends the phort against Justin Masterson and the Tribe.  ARod is back in the lineup and Curtis is back at 8, with Wise moving over to 7 and Ibanez in the DH slot.  Comment away.

Youkwho? Jays-Sox Gamer I

Beast action as the Sox host the Jaybirds.  Felix Doubront looks for his third straight win, hopefully a bit less messily, while Henderson Alvarez faces Boston. Comment away.

Back To The Intra: Tribe-Yanks Gamer I

Johnny Damon and the Indians come to town to face Hiroki Kuroda and the Bombers at The Stadium, while Josh Tomlin Hurls for Cleveland. Lineups follow, comment away.

Required Reading

Ken Tremendous writes about Youk. It's got a naughty word or two in it, so consider yourself fucking warned.

R.A. Dickey, Light-Tossing Dominator: Yanks-Mets Gamer III

Knuckler R.A. Dickey is 11-1, sports a 2 ERA and an .889 whip.  The Yankees are countering with C.C. Sabathia, whose K rate is the best of his career but his other numbers are pedestrian compared to his history. This is one interleague game worth watching.  Comment away.
