in-game nonsense

DID I MISS THE OFFICIAL "EVERYONE MUST CALL HIM BIG PAPI" MEMO?

drinking game ideas:
- every time someone mentions BIG PAPI, do a shot
- every time wang goes to a full count, do a shot
- every time wang fields a ball, do a shot

"i'd probably lay in a closet somewhere, put on a little miles davis, and about ten minutes before game time come out and say 'let's go!'" -- kitty kaat on how he'd handle a funk

dear jorgie: facial hair is not going to create the illusion of a chin. please stop. xo lupe

- every time the yankees strand runners on second and third, do a shot

- every time jeter makes an error in a wang start, do a shot
- every time michael kay tries to pin a jeter error on someone else, do a shot

THE VAUNTED TIGERS DEFENSE! downright LLALALALAL angels-like.

wang, as of the 7th inning stretch: 0 runs, 97 pitches, 2 hits, 1 walk, 3 k, 12 groundball outs, 3 assists. so reliably, steadily good it's yawntastic. almost. dear wang: this is not an invitation for drama. please, stay boring.

how does neifi perez keep finding work?

dear small ball: fuck you.

"alex with risp this year, hitting .303, not bad." -- michael kay. not bad? what the fuck do you want from him? CLUTCH PAPI'S .286 avg, maybe?

commercial break picspam:


i'm probably pretty sure walking neifi perez qualifies as UNACCEPTABLE.

scott proctor: continually defying my grisly expectations

andrew miller is.... too young for me. andrew miller is too young for me. andrew miller is too young for me.
