Shit shit shit shit shit.

 

Honestly, if it ends like this, I would rather it be this way than getting clobbered to the tune of a 6.50 ERA in 2014.

 

Jetes 2-2 already tonight.

Anyone heard yet how long Rivera will be out?

 

SOP for the Giants the last few years. I just keep wondering how much longer Bochy can keep pulling rabbits out of his hat offensively. I heard a stat earlier this week, the Giantss' batting average with RISP is below .200? Keep hoping, with Lincecum locked up for the next two years and Cain and Bumgarner locked up a little longer, they may finally address the offense ...

 

Harper has the game-winning RBI double, his fourth double in five games. Hitting .375 with a huge OPS. God, I hope he kills the Phillies this weekend.

And Espinosa is GOD AWFUL!

 

Definitely smiling. However, I think I remember Jamal Anderson walking off the field after destroying his knee, so I'm always nervous about when I see a knee injury that seems to be not that bad.

 

Yankees lose again, waste a 4-5 game from the Captain.

Batting average back up to .404.

 

Fuck, I hate that Manky has made being a Jeter fan such a joke, but I'm enjoying the hell out of watching him play.

That said, outside of Jeter and Granderson, the Yankees lineup is struggling. Losing Swisher and Gardner has hurt, but Cano and Teixeira are killing them right now. ARod's not exactly crushing it, either.

The Empire laments

 

Damn, if he can't come back from this what a way to go out.
