    A must win, sort of, to me. I hate giving into the Yankees. And yes I know it's only May. But right now we have about everyone we are supposed to have except Pedey and Thornberg. Long since time for the rotation and bullpen to man up.

    Last night the lineup score 4 runs off the same guy who no hit us last time, but Porcello gave up 5. To me that was the ball game in a nutshell. I have nothing against starting JBJ or anyone else because to me the lineup has been doing its job.

    Slasher9 is just the guy to get us this win.

    So it seems that we may have lost Carson Smith for the season. Or at least a long while.

    Dombrowski is saying Smith sustained a likely serious injury to his shoulder when throwing his glove after he let up a dinger.

    Cut the shit.

    That guy is useless.

You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."

    Glad you made it home safely, my friend. We need you here to put up those kick-ass avatars! (and support me in my campaign to keep JBJ on the field.)

    We had serious hail here an hour ago. So weird seeing mothball-sized hailstones raining from the sky when it's warm out.

    There are severe thunderstorms presently moving west to east in eastern Mass. Tornado warning earlier today.

    Expect delays at Game time according to WCVB.

    Some friends of mine went to Phillies v Mets game on Saturday. They sang the National anthem and then rolled the tarp out. Thanks for paying for parking, food, and beer!

    I'm watching Yankees at the Nats which for me is a local game. Tanaka gave up a dinger on a sinker low in the zone. Top of second, the leadoff Yankees double and single on hard hit balls, men on 2d and 3d. Next three, Tanaka (batting 8th), torres, and Hicks all K and that big curve Gio Gonzalez throws.

    Nats lead off bottom of 2d with double by Howie Kendricks. He scores on a grounder to the left side. 2-0 Nats.

    Now 3-0 in the 2d off a double by Severino (not the pitcher of course).

    I'm viewing it too. Tanaka is painfully slow to throw a ball.

    Tonight he is getting more pain than he is inflicting.Yankees out in the 3d after a walk to Judge, a GIDP by Stanton (he should have struck out to help the team), and a fly out by Sanchez. Now 3-2 in the 4th: Yanks got a 2 run error double by the CF who ran all the way over to the standing still LF to forced the dropped ball--followed by a dinger on a curve up in the zone.
