Raaauuuuullllll in RF is LOL'able. Chris Stewart in already at game number 3, catching Phil.......

Oh well.....guess a miracle is still in play. Maybe they won't actually start 0-3? Nah........gonna be drinking some beers today to wash away the bad taste to the start of Joey Binders season.

[Meff Nelton]

Wow, Joe Girardi is actually playing Raul Ibanez in the field. Quite the auspicious debut thus far.

[derekson]

Rays infield shift on ARod pays off again.

[derekson]

Hughes' velocity looks pretty good. 93 a few times in the first against Longoria, got it past him.

[derekson]

LOOOOOL Ibanez.

[TheYellowDart5]

Ibanez in RF already cost Girardi a run. Impressive.

[derekson]

Arod had kind of a limping gait going first to third on Teixeira's double there.

[Saby]

Scott out with a tight hamstring. Rays' line-up from 6-9 is a joke now, got to capitalise.

Another sketchy "fan interference"/home run call.

[TheYellowDart5]

Uh, isn't this exactly the reason instant replay was created for?

[Saby]

Yeah, can't see how you can be so definitve from so far on that.

[derekson]

Yeah, can't see how you can be so definitve from so far on that.

At least it looked like the right call this time, as opposed to last night.

[derekson]

Were I Joe Girardi, I'd be having Logan or Rapada face Joyce.


Looks like the Binder agrees.

[TheYellowDart5]

Girardi's stalling is so bullshit.

[Saby]

99 pitches for Hughes, I think he was done after this inning anyway.

If you can just get the out here, you'll have 2 pretty stress free innings after this.

[TheYellowDart5]

Swisher the goat today.

[derekson]

Swisher the goat today.

On the flip side, Swisher definitely catches the Joyce "triple" in the first inning if he's in his customary RF position.

[Saby]

Loved Hellickson's face as he came off the mound there. No fist pump, no smile, no nothing. Just blank as always.

[derekson]

I almost made a comment about being surprised Girardi's binder was letting him allow Logan to face Keppinger, but I missed the moment to look smart. Then again, so did Girardi.

[Saby]

Molina should just not swing.

[jon abbey]

I haven't seen any of this and won't be going back and watching, but what a Knicks game.

[Saby]

Great outing from Hellickson, kept em off balance all game.

[TheYellowDart5]

Someone should tell Granderson and Cano that the season's started.

[Saby]

Rally time!

Those fans with the brooms are really ticking me off.

[derekson]

So as a Red Sox fan, since they lost, do I keep making the threads, or am I held to the winning streak rule like a Yankees fan would be?

[jon abbey]

No, you get to keep going until they win one, just wait until after midnight. If they go 0-162, you get to start Opening Day next year also.

[derekson]

No, you get to keep going.

Alright, thanks Jon. Just figured I'd double check.

I'll try to make this streak a memorable one!
