Thank you, Sidney Ponson...
...for once again proving that a win-loss record is meaningless.
A 1.58 WHIP, along with a 5-1 record and a 3.96 ERA?
Remember those “How do you spell relief” commercials for…what, Tums? T-U-M-S. How do you spell lucky? P-O-N-S-O-N.
Lets Go Twinkies
Dont Expect the Chubby Aruban himself Sidney Ponson to Last longer than 3 innings Because, A the Twins will Massacre him and B, its Hotter than Hell in NY, he will sweat himself to death.
I hope you're right...
Sid’s two starts vs the Twins this season:
April 26, in Texas: 5.1 IP, 7 H, 5 R, 4 K, 1 BB, 93 pitches
May 21, in Minnesota: 9 IP, 1 R, 5 K, 1 BB, 110 pitches
I’d like to think that maybe we could handle him a bit better now, after seeing him twice.
I think the Twins have a 50-50 chance of doing something against him
never underestimate a skilled fatman
Ponson
I saw him at Yankees stadium against the Rays. He was pretty damn good. I also know that he’s done pretty damn well against the Twins this year. Here’s hoping that trend doesn’t continue.

dont you remember
Abreu hitting a comebacker at Blackburn that struck the side of his face? It was the last game the Yanks played at the Dome
Seriously...
...Rodriguez is really good. Really, really good.
I enjoy greatness in baseball. I just wish it wasn’t happening against us.
comment of my night
from the wife: “wow, Blackburn and Mauer, now there’s a battery that can give a girl a charge”
base hit by Buscher!
you know, although it would be nice to have a real threat of power there at third base, I dont mind Buscher. He is doing his job
Molina got the ball so early he left the plate for a beer
and he was still out, but I’m not mad Twins 2-2
2 and 3
for the best hitter on the team, I’ll take that any day
Peyton's good but have you ever heard of Jeff George?
the yankees announcers
feel entitled to an out because the throw was so good
http://noblingblings.blogspot.com/
Duh.
Yankee awesomeness is worth many different things at many different times. Outs, runs, balls, strikes, Madonna…
isn't there a new Madonna yet?
I mean she’s like 60 or something…
Cougars can be hot but this one’s toothless
i was too young to appreciate her then.
but even now, seeing the videos…just can’t be bothered.
sorry, madonna. you can have a-rod and his strange love letters.
Oh man.
Yanks have bases full now with one out. The Twins tallied two in that situation…we need the Yanks to get zero.
Joe wasn't on the plate,
there wouldn’t have been a force. I’m not sure Joe would have had time to apply a tag.
Casilla tries to tag the runner,
misses him, goes home and the throw sucked. Ball gets by Mauer, Yanks score and lead 3-2.
Bases still loaded, one out.
Man, Nick is getting rocked right here.
And he’s not getting any luck, either. Bad decision by Casilla, a ball off a glove…and he’s done for the night.
Blackburn goes one and a third. Ish.
I Think
That Blackburn is honestly More of the Long Relief Role, Call up Liriano, Send Blackburn to the Long Relief…Where he was Last season when he came up in September.
Seriously
Baker is a Better Starter than Blackburn, im sorry im not sold on Blackburn in the Rotation, Yet, Maybe sometime down the line, 15 Runs in his last 6 starts.
Ok, but six of them were tonight.
His last three starts: 20.2 innings, 5 runs (4 earned).
Blackburn has done nothing but prove himself to be a valuable piece of our rotation this season. Maybe he’ll do something in the future to prove otherwise, but there’s no reason to jump the gun and put him in the ‘pen just because we think he’ll let up eventually. Especially when someone like Hernandez is still in the rotation, who’s season hasn’t been nearly as good as Nick’s.
Everyone’s going to have a bad night, tonight Nick had one…and some bad luck, too.
I hope the Twins don't just give it up tonight
but they don’t look too good now that they are up again
More bad luck.
Cabrera gets a bounce off of Bonser’s glove and Buscher can’t make the play.
This has the makings of an ugly, ugly game.
Try to pick off Cabrera...
...ball gets by Morneau, error charged to Bonser.
Cabrera to second.
To quote Charlie Brown: AAARRGGGHHHH!!!!!
I wish
that Cabrera would have tried to run on Gomez there…just to have a little excitement here, because I’m pretty sure Gomez would have wiped Melky out with ease.
Le Sigh.
Hahaha....
...thanks, I’ll take it under consideration.
Sometimes I’m a glutton for punishment…a fan even when it’s the worst of times…but sometimes, it’s just not worth it.
Oh man…
Nick Punto for Continental Diamon:
“Y’know, I’ll play wherever Gardy wants me to play, cuz I’m a team player!”
We know, Nick. We know.
Shut your yap, Giambi.
Unless you’re going to eat the umpire, shut up.
Let’s just move this thing along, please.
OKAY!
Scoreless fourth inning for Bonser.
Small victories tonight, boys…I’ll take those small victories.
Giambi
is going to Give the Ump a Picture of Himself in his Golden Thong and the Ump will die instantly from looking at it
Hey Jeter...
...you suck.
Casilla to third. Let’s get one here, please…just to make it interesting for a minute!
It's good to see him have some success.
Hopefully he can go another couple of innings without giving up another run, and he can build off of that.
Ada Boy Span
Now We can Cut into this Lead even More, 1-2 Runs here would be nice, The New Pirhanas are here!
Hey Denard!
Big single there, Harris advances to second.
Although to listen to Gladden, you’d think it was a foul ball.
C’mon Gladden, get it up a little bit. Pop some viagra, whatever…just don’t make it so clinical. I feel like I’m listening to a play-by-play of a physical.
9-3, Yanks
That’s it…bed time.
Catch you tomorrow, Twinkie Town.
If anyone feels like having a rally…go for it.
Eww
This game has been just plain ugly, that’s all I have to say.
I read somewhere that someone said we would win one for sure, one would be a close battle to the end, and one we would get blown out.
Hopefully, this is the one that we got blown out and we can take the next two.
Although I was pretty sure this would be the one we won for sure. :-\

After Breslow let the first three guys he faced get on.
Talking of which, rumor has it, George Sherril is available. Any interest?

Hey
Dont Be Sad Twins Fans, Yes We Lost but Hey, We didnt Lose any ground, Texas Beats The White Sox 6-1.
We played with fudge in our pants...
...at Yankee Stadium…again.
The Twins at Fenway and Yankee just seem to run around frantically and do nothing productive. It’s irritating as all get out. They seem to play in the fear mode instead of the we’re going whip you mode.
