7/4 @ NYY

[Jayhawk Bill]

Good job by Beckett getting out of trouble.

[a700hitter]

The Yankees would get better if Melky went on the DL.

[Jayhawk Bill]

Is Beckett getting squeezed?

 

Not as badly as he was earlier in the game, IMO.

 

Rasner is still getting a bigger strike zone, though.

[a700hitter]

Drew wants that pitch back.

[Jayhawk Bill]

Lowell!

[VA Sox Fan]

MIKEY!!

[26 to 6]

MLB extra innings is also showing the YES broadcast but I've got Michael Gay, Al Leiter and some African American gentleman I'm not familiar with. No Waldman...whooo....hoooooo!!!!!!! :thumbsup:

 

 

And on XM it's ESPN's broadcast.

It's Kay, Leiter, and Kenny Singleton (NY native, former Met, Oriole, and Expo. Been doing Yanke games for 12 years now). HGe wasn't referring to Waldman doing the game, what had happened was that they were mentioning how today is not only Steinbrenner's birthday, but also John Sterling's. So they did a shot of the radio booth with Sterling and Waldman in it as Sterling was being presented a birthday cake by somebody. She is damnn ugly.

 

You can't get the NESN feed? I know this year for me, DirecTV offers both feeds of a game (if available) as opposed to just the home team's broadcast as in years past.

[a700hitter]

It would be nice to see Tek hit one out

[a700hitter]

He just missed an upper tank job and then did some nice hitting on the next pitch to single. Here comes the black cloud, Lugo.

[a700hitter]

Nice play by the black cloud to end the inning.

[a700hitter]

Top of the order due again. ARod will be standing in the batters box with Ellsbury.

[a700hitter]

To my eye it looked like Ellsbury beat ARod's throw. Did anyone get a better look?

[a700hitter]

The last couple of games the yankee fans have disappeared from this site. They will reappear like the trolls they are if the Sox bullpen falters.

To my eye it looked like Ellsbury beat ARod's throw. Did anyone get a better look?

 

 

Luis Alicea at first base and I agree with you, a700hitter, but it was admittedly very close.

Same here with my DirecTV, but MLB Extra Innings on cable usually offers just the home feed of games to save channels.

 

As an aside, if you're in the "local" area of a team you only get the Regional Sports Network of those teams when they play non-local teams, even on DirecTV. I'm in the "local" area of the Nats and the Orioles, so I lose NESN on those games. What REALLY sucks is when the Orioles games are on broadcast TV, not the RSN: I then cannot watch the games AT ALL.

Weak throw by Gardner.

I actually asked DirecTV, since they considered me "local" to Baltimore per their MLBAM contract, to give me Baltimore stations as my "local" TV stations. I don't think that they understood my position that a handful of games in Camden Yards were more important than a year of local news and weather...in any case, they refused. <_>

[Jayhawk Bill]

Jeter gave way to Gardner on that catch...that's the first time I can remember that Jeter yielded to anybody on a fly ball.

[a700hitter]

Maybe Tek can break out of the slump in this series.

Maybe Tek can break out of the slump in this series.

 

Not in that at bat.

 

6-3 DP. Some big guy is about to sing.

[a700hitter]

Ronan Tynan singing God Bless AMerica. This should take twenty minutes.

[riverside sluggers]

Man this guy's ears have an impressive wingspan

[BoSox21]

gutcheck time for the bullpen

[a700hitter]

Why is Beckett out? How many pitches had he thrown?

[a700hitter]

Cue the Yankee fan members any minute.

[BoSox21]

Why is Beckett out? How many pitches had he thrown?

 

102

[a700hitter]

Where was that 2-1 pitch?

[a700hitter]

Crap! How much rope does Tito give Okajima?

[a700hitter]

Nice play by Lugo!

[riverside sluggers]

That bulge in the home plate umps pocket must be a wad of cash

[a700hitter]

Did Hank bribe the umps for Daddy's birthday?

[a700hitter]

It must be a round plate... no corners.
