Does it take two days for Col. Rasmus to get his hair washed?

maybe it's an annual thing.  I could see that taking a couple of days.

Yankee announcer John Sterling says Girardi would most likely not make Bentances, Wilson or Shreve available today. So, keep it close going into the late innings, boys.

In true Yankee fashion, Brett Gardner is kind of a shitass. The fuck is he wearing an oven mitt for? Some kind of pussy or what?

So, Hinch calls Girardi to apologize for Obie because that is not the way the game should be played.  Did he then ask Girardi to apologize for Gardner?

Wow, disaster averted. A catch and no injury. I had bad thoughts as the play developed.

A juggling catch while negotiating his way between a rock Carter and a hard place Santana, no less.

He's throwing well. It would be nice if they scored some runs for him. If they can't do that, at least get some solid contact.

Or at least make Pineda throw some more pitches so that we can get to the bullpen.

Not sure I call that solid contact, but it worked out well.

That was pretty ridiculous. But props to Correa for hustling from the get-go.

I walked outside to spray poison a yellow-jacket nest that I had been staring at through the window since the game started. I missed the score. What happened?

Correa hit a fly to left center.  Both outfielders said "you take it" and it fell between them. Then Gardner, going to pick it up, kicks it to the wall and Correa scores. Basically, a little league HR.

Apologize for playing good, clean hard nosed baseball?  I doubt it.

Well, it wasn't exactly clean.  Even if one gives Gardner the benefit of the doubt that he was cleanly breaking up a DP, which I assume Hinch does, then he sure as shit needs to be giving fatass an earful on why the neighborhood rule applies.

Correa hit a high fly should-have-been-easy-out to LCF, and Gardner and the LF played I-got-it-I-got-it-you-take-it and it fell in between them. Then Gardner kicked the ball (or something) while trying to retrieve it and it went to the fence. Correa was running pretty hard from the start and made it home fairly easily.

In my opinion, there's a line and Gardner might not have crossed it but he had one leg over it with his cleats up like that.

There is no neighborhood rule.

I'm not getting into a semantic debate, you've seen enough baseball to know what is meant.  Otherwise, you must be outraged every time someone doesn't actually touch the bag on a turn.

No, you're searching for ways to vilify Gardner for playing good baseball, most likely because you're really embarrassed by Oberholzter's behavior. You should be.

I vilify him because he is a Yankee dick. That's all the reason I need. It also pleases me to see him fuck-up in the outfield.

Carter pops out to 1B. 5 and 6 hitters leave a man at 3B, but the Astros take a 2-1 lead.

This - the bush league "cleats-up continuation slide" just helps cement the fact that he is a dickhead Yankee...

I think so. The one last night with Carter scoring was the worst. Carter was two steps from 3B when he fielded it in shallow LF and it bounced like four times and wasn't even close.

I know he is strong and capable of hitting homers but I think he's better when he is just trying to get on base. And with Correa behind him that is what he should always focus on.

I don't think that Rasmus was in the dugout today. I didn't see him after the game and I would think that Hinch  would have used him to replace Tucker in the eighth.

I wonder if they shouldn't mold him into a kind of Rickey Henderson, power/speed, leadoff type without the doucheyness?
