1-0 since the birth of Frustrato-tron 5000


One A-Rod grimace for last night’s game. Can’t very well give it a worse rating, considering the Cap had three hits (tying Roger Maris of all people on the Yankees HR list), and it was a win.

You did notice, however, A-Rod tried to heave a ball into the seats. AND he went 0-4 with three left on.

This season has me typing in all caps and using punctuation other than commas and periods. Exclamation points, all caps, italics, these things are for people trying to sell you something, usually for erectile dysfunction and anyone younger than 13.

I’m wondering why Andy Pettitte came out after just seven innings and what, 84 pitches?
Just to get Brian Bruney two innings of work? There’s no talk of Pettitte being injured. He could have finished that game. I hate you Tony LaRussa.

Carl Pavano might start for the Yankees this season. That’s a five A-Rod grimace game if there ever was one, although that might be worth creating Frustrato-tron 5000v2.

Olympic note: We (the U.S.) are evidently good at water polo. Is it because we’re the only country that can fill a space that big with water safe enough for human use? The water at the Cube or Sphere or Cone or whatever they’re calling it is suspiciously blue. I wonder if that was CGI’d too.
