I'm off to the toilet. Then I'll be back to start tomorrow's game thread. Win again.

[Goosewptc]

In the words of Big John McCarthy: "LET'S GET IT ON....C'MON!!"

[941827]

Can anyone report on current conditions? Does it look like this is going to start on time?

[RoyHobbs]

Anyone know how to say "The Toilet" in Japanese? We really need to christen a new Japanese moniker for that place for this occasion.

I don't know what the word is, but I strongly suggest you watch this commercial.



It will provide the lucky good vibes team of Kaibutsu with Boston in home of Yankees need.

Not raining in Soho.

[Southpaw67]

Looks like it's not 100% over, but mostly gone out to sea:

[mabrowndog]

The heavy rain moved out of NYC more than 2 hours ago. If the field drains, they should play.

[Joe D Reid]

Yeah, it's foggy but that's it. Not sure how good the view's gona be from the third deck of the terlet, but hopefully it will clear up at some point.

[MidnightC]

I'm predicting Ortiz will go yard tonight. He's overdue for a few bombs, he has good numbers against Pettitte, and usually hits well at the Toilet. It looks like the perfect combination.

(Of course, I say that and he'll go 0-3 with a walk and 2Ks.)

No thoughts about tomorrow or Sunday, only today. Win.

Wow. the MLB TV pregame show just said Pavano told Rick Sutcliffe that he is done for the year. What a joke.

EDIT: nm, i guess i heard it wrong, he denied reports that he told Sutcliffe that he is done for the year. Either way, what a joke.

Remmy is now pimping New Pro. How unusual that he would whore himself out like that.

[Nomars Last Twitch]

Newsday said Pettitte would be pitching inside tonight, so as to "get back" at the Sox for hitting Arod and Jeter.

That's bad news for HIM because hes most effective when he's pitching away with the fastball, and down-and-in with the slider. Leaving the ball inside is a recipie for disaster (yay!)

He's gonna give up some BOMBS tonight.

Olney made a comment on his blog along the lines of "if he comes back at all this year" as well.

Or not:

The serendipity of their matchup could provide an interesting subplot. When Matsuzaka last faced the Yankees, last Sunday night at Fenway Park, he hit both Alex Rodriguez and Jeter with pitches when the Sox won, 7-6.

But Pettitte said yesterday that he does not feel any special need to send messages to the Boston hitters. “I don’t feel I have to establish anything,” Pettitte said. “No one said one word to me about it.”

When asked in general about retaliation protocol, Pettitte said: “If that’s the way things are going, I’m not so sure. I know I hit one of their guys.” Pettitte hit Boston’s Kevin Youkilis on Friday night at Fenway Park in his last start.

Pettitte said that if teams retaliate for hit batters, it is usually during the same game or in the game afterward. Matsuzaka hit the Yankees’ batters two days after Pettitte hit the Boston batter.

I'm pretty fired up for this game. Let's come out strong eh?

[reggiecleveland]

Again I ask why MLBtv can't offer me the feed I want and porn in place of pacman

[TheBenzingerGame]

I'm not exactly fired up for the YES feed on MLB.tv, though.

I think it's Joe Castig and Dave O for me tonight.

[Lars The Wanderer]

Win the game. Put a crooked number up in the top of the 1st.

[Chuck Schilling]

I once caddied for Robert Merrill. Couldn't play for shit.

Was that O'Brien who just said "MLB executives" said Daisuke absolutely hit Jeter, Slappy on purpose? "Sending a message..."

[CaptainLaddie]

Do it.

[CaptainLaddie]

Glad to see the Toilet is half-full. Yeesh.

[Lucen]

I'm blacked out (properly this time) because I'm in the yankees' market. Can't get to a TV any time soon either. Oh well, gameday audio and gameday will have to to.

[twoBshorty]

Does flashing "0 errors during series at Fenway" under the graphic of the MFY defense seem pathetic to anyone else?

[CaptainLaddie]

SRSLY DIRECTV you couldnt put this one in HD?

[Lars The Wanderer]

Nice AB in front of the power.

[OCD SS]

I really wish we had a better leadoff option than Lugo.

[CaptainLaddie]

I really wish we had a better leadoff option than Lugo.

We do. He's hitting 2nd.

[Southpaw67]

Fark.
It's Manny time.

[Mike in CT]

Papi's letting the good ones go bye, and swinging at the garbage.

C'mon Manny... catch fire.

Edited by Mike in CT, 27 April 2007 - 06:14 PM.

[quint]

begin it now Manuel.

egad thats horrible sentence structure.

[Southpaw67]

Lately Torre makes it apear that it's too painful to look at the field/watch the game.

[Lucen]

Either Manny gets a couple fastballs in the zone here, or he ends up on base and Drew gets a chance to do some damage. I like both possibilities.

[Mike in CT]

Lasers Manny.... pure lasers all weekend.

[941827]

We need a little something here, JD.

[epraz]

Should be a quick game if the ump calls these corners for both sides.

kinda like every one else at the stadium wearing a NY hat.

[OCD SS]

C'mon JD.

cmon porch shot

[Southpaw67]

I like those stats

[Lars The Wanderer]

Crapola.

[ragecage]

let's go Dice. Nice and clean and then let us score some runs.

[941827]

It'd be nice to see Drew get a knock in a big spot.

[Lucen]

Blargh...

[OCD SS]

We do. He's hitting 2nd.

Yeah, but then we'd have to find someone to hit 2nd. At least with Lugo hitting first he's not GIDPs and erasing Youks.

[SawxSince67]

Pettitte, 1st Inning...ehh. We'll see if he warms up.

[941827]

19 pitches for Pettitte through 1. That's good.

[LondonSox]

"He's got a pitch he calls a gyroball that's really just a changeup" Wow thanks Al, I'm glad it was that easy to clear up the debate
