WEATHER: Take a wild guess – it’s Southern California! Temps in the 70s, clear skies. It should be a beautiful day for baseball. The full forecast is here.

I came across this funny headline from earlier in the year:

Abreus Sits, Wood Plays

Testing, Testing, 1-2-3

Nice to get on the board early. Jeter really wants this one!!

At least two guys on this team can hit. A-Rod -- Strong! Melky?? Swisher?? Can't get it done.

Friggen V-LAD and his black taco!

He needs to hit homeruns because he can't walk...

Okay I'm here. Had to pickup Ava and go to the grocery store. Just a day in the life of a married father in the new millenium.

Nice Tex trailing the runner. Whose does the fundamentals better than the Yankees (except Cano).

I didn't think Buck was ever going to shut up about it.

Abreu

Mi Amigo

Jerry Hairston.

Homerun.

I called it here.

Any team whose fans use thunderstix doesn't deserve to exits let along be in the postseason.

Is that Pat Sajak behind homeplate? F him.

I feel like Tom Hanks in Castaway talking to a volleyball. Anybody out there?

I'm back! matthew is finally sleeping...

I don't ever want to see mariano go for the lead runner ever again!

Will he come back for the bottom of the 11th?

I guess he's done...

GO CERVELLI

I miss George Lopez

And here comes the second guessing...

Classic case of over managing. Made no sense whatsoever.

Nothing like watching the Yankees come up goose eggs inning after inning while Ava runs around naked and screaming like a maniac because it's past her bedtime. I think Girardi has a lot of 'splaining to do. I think him running nervously to his little book and then taking Robertson out says it all. I'm not sure what the thinking with Aceves was. We were down to one pitcher at that point. Bats need to pick it up. If it wasn't for (gulp) A-Rod, they might be down 2-1. We'll be okay, CC will get it done tomorrow and things will be back on track.

At least we don't have to listen to the "They had a 3-0 lead in 2004, as well" talk from Joe Buck and McCarver all day tomorrow... I think I'd commit murder

Joe and Tim seemed pleased with the result. Panic move may have cost us one. Mariano escaped with one--odds against him. Agree, back on track tomorrow. Go C C

How about the Angels intentionally walking A-Rod with two outs and the bases empty? He's earned some big respect.
