Name that Molina

[gratuitous]

It's Bengie this time, putting the Rangers on top and silencing the band box.

[gratuitous]

1. And another cheap Yankee Stadium home run

Rangers, 6-3.

I keep hearing they're going to build a suitable major league ballpark for the Yankees, but I don't think I'll live to see it.

[alarimer]

20. As far as I am concerned all baseball parks should have the same dimensions.

The Yankees cheated by making theirs smaller, to help their hitters. Sometimes, of course, that bites them on the ass, as it has done tonight. I am so happy.

[gratuitous]

2. Girardi throws in the towel

Joba Chamberlain takes the mound.

[gratuitous]

3. One pitch, Guerrero doubles

I believe he said, "Thanks, Joe" as he cruised into second.

[gratuitous]

4. Chamberlain promptly issues a free pass to the next batter

Puts the double play in order with two outs . . .

:rofl:

[gratuitous]

5. A bloop to right field, and it's 7-3

If you listen closely, you can actually hear the wheels coming off the Yankee bandwagon.

[gratuitous]

6. The inning mercifully comes to an end

Now for the endless rendition of the latest homage to the HCRV.

[gratuitous]

7. Hip, hip, Jorge!

It's as if Girardi is practically pleading with the crowd not to leave.

[gratuitous]

8. Weak strikeout

And Jeter the cheater fails to get a hit to end the inning. Six outs left between the Yankees and a three games to one deficit. If not for one explosive inning in Game 1, they'd be looking at a sweep.

[LoveMyCali]

9. Scurrying towards the exits

like rats leaving a sinking ship :rofl:

[gratuitous]

10. Molina leads off the 8th with a single

And the Rangers are in business again.

[gratuitous]

11. Now it's the announcers doing the pleading

That "you never feel like you have a big enough lead against the Yankees." Sorry, but they've had their one improbable rally this playoff season. The New York "fans" can feel free to leave.

[gratuitous]

12. Bottom 8, lead off walk

And Washington isn't going to wait around for trouble. Right to the bullpen.

[gratuitous]

13. Five outs to go, another call to the pen

Throw a ground ball and head to the ninth, guys.

[gratuitous]

14. Fer crissakes throw a goddam strike

They can't hit a grand slam unless you . . . load the bases. Nitwits.

[gratuitous]

15. Ooh, the Yankees are victimized by a missed call

Bummer. That doesn't happen very often.

[gratuitous]

16. And the threat goes by the boards

Too bad, Yankees. Too bad.

You may not make it back to Texas.

[gratuitous]

17. A couple of Bronx bombs

And the Bronx Bombers are on the ropes. Shoulda scored when you had the chance in the 8th, Yankees. Lot of alleged fans wearing their "empty seat" disguises.

[gratuitous]

18. And my local Comcast company loses the signal

Must be Yankee fans.

[gratuitous]

19. And we go to the bottom of the ninth

Three outs and you need seven runs, New York. Good luck.

[gratuitous]

21. Z-z-z-z-z

Wha? They got someone to third? Look out, Rangers!

Line out to end the game. Nevermind.

3-1, Texas. Elimination game looms.
