Finally, a game on TSN

When you don't get Sportsnet, that adverb is appropriate. Random thoughts:
  • Rod Black Moment of the Night: "Catching is Rod Barajas--there's A-Rod, but HOW ABOUT B-ROD?!?!"
  • Only Shannon Stewart lets a Molina go first-to-third on a single to left.
  • Pat Tabler, who barely played the field or threw a ball, is asked how misty rain affected his gameplay.
  • Moose not happy with CB Bucknor. Moose's bad mood is justified for once.
  • The first time Jesse Litsch retired the leadoff batter, three two-out runs scored.
  • Rod Black Moment #2: "Derek Jeter: third-time [sic] all-time!"
  • Felt bad turning off the game after Thigpen came in, because he'll probably never get to play again.
  • Rod Black Moment #3: "Number two gets number three to pass number seven!"
  • Pat Tabler, who only does like 128 Yankee games every year, says he can't think of anyone else who bends quite like Mussina does from the stretch, then after a pregnant pause says "except Ian Kennedy."
  • Rios looks fine to me. Hooray for two plate appearances instead of 262!
There was also a game last night on whatever they call TBS now and it made me wonder what exactly a burke badenhop is. Still not sure.

I tend to defend Jamie Campbell when people go after him.

There's no defence for Rod Black.

That's funny, I don't remember adding the "Rod Black Must Die" label. Clearly Blogger agrees with us automatically!

Did I hear Black say "Ever since Barajas has been starting he's been laying down a number two" or something similar tonight?

It's quite possible. I missed everything after the fourth, but one of Blackie's opening lines was "time to bounce back with B.J.....and the BJs!"
