2010 ALCS: Rangers vs. Yankees, Game 5!

The Yanks have been outscored 25 to 5 over the last three games. The goal this afternoon? Lose by less than five runs. They’re without Mark Teixeira the rest of the way (otherwise known as today), so there’s a good chance we’ll be treated to a few Swisher adventures at first base. Cano moves up to the three spot (7 for 15 in the series), but guess who’s batting fifth? Marcus Thames! He’s followed by fat Lance, who almost hit a home run last night. That’s right, we’re at the point where almost hitting a homer is significant, as is breaking a camera lens. Expect continued brutality from the bats of Nelson Cruz and Josh Hamilton and for Joe Girardi to do something that everyone hates. Enjoy my pain and enjoy the game. [Pic = MockSession]

I don’t think they’ll be missing his 0-for-the-series at the plate.

They will miss his gold glove though.

never doubt the power of Marcus Thames.

Sure, but I’m sure they’d gladly take an error or two in exchange for a few hits.

TBS should ditch interviewing the managers between innings and interview this guy.

For all the gloating and laughing I can’t be alone in half-expecting the Senators Pt. III to choke this thing away, can I?

Vlad – they had the brother of the Wild fan on the radio. He is saying all that was said to Rypien was “Way to be a professional”

Goddammit Joe Morgan is on my radio…can’t Dan Shulman and Soup Campbell do this game watching it on TV? They’re a really good listen I think

If the Yankees dunk the ball more often can they still win the series?

She’s just getting old, Harbaugh. I’m disappointed in just how young her daughter looks.

You streaming or listening over the air? They pulled the SF/PHI game off streaming radio yesterday. I turned it off today because it has ESPNNEWS on.

Her daughter just signed a contract in Sanders’ farm system. Big signing bonus too.

Don’t you think the plastic look is worse than women looking old?

I just don’t understand Girardi’s lineup at all.

Personally, yes. It looks fake and creepy.

Can’t afford any errors against Texas.

yeah, how the hell is that chick only 14? If I did half my age and left out the +7 years, I still wouldn’t even be close.
