Around SBN: The Amateur Mathematics Of Linsanity

Yankees 6, A-Rod 5, A's 1

Mood music - Easy Lover by Phil Collins (stickin' with Phil, as In the Air Tonight brought the W)

A-Rod was very, very good today in the Yankees 6-1 win, launching home runs 596 (grand slam, again) and 597 (solo shot) and providing all of the offense the Yankees would need.  Almost equally good was C.C. Sabathia, throwing 7.2 dominant innings, allowing 1 run and striking out 10.  David Robertson pitched very well to finish out the game.

Send Swish

Play of the Game: Tex being hit by a pitch to load the bases in front of A-Rod.  Because we all knew what was coming after that Tom Foolery.

Comment of the Game: GMan83201 for his firm, unwavering grasp of the obvious:

And sex > swimming in a pool full of razorblades and vinegar

Eloquent.  Moving.  (Maybe a tad shallow and pedantic, for you Family Guy fans).  We go for the sweep tomorrow with Good A.J. on the mound.  And here's the WPA graph:

We ban Yankees fans sooner rather than later based on problems we have had in the past.

Rev Hitler lives in his own

little world over there. And the rest of the boo-hoo halo nuts all like it that way. Its fun reading their whines though. I hope Joe picks Weaver after he pitches Sunday and starts him and throws him all nine innings.

Think that’d make em feel better over at HH — or is it better dreaming up all the conspiracies?

by rosebud on Jul 7, 2010 3:38 AM EDT up reply actions  

Just use the imagine of ARDO the Centuar beating the Angels

during the ALCS. That’s a surefire ban. Make sure to use it next time we beat them, especially if it’s a painful loss for them in which ARod contributes heavily.

Wow thanks Duggan!

There is no way you can look at that Arod picture and not laugh.

That's good they finally made up, however...

1) Braden will still get booed hard in August/September at Yankee Stadium for being such a douche in the first place.

2) I still want to slug his grandmother in the face.
