PrintNew York Yankees at Toronto Blue Jays, Sep 23, 2008 7:07 PM EDT
Well, the season is, for all intents and purposes over, but there's still something left to play for, especially this week. The Jays are looking to finish ahead of the Yankees for the first time since 1993, and they will need to take this series if they want to do so. Right now, the Yankees are 2 games ahead of the Jays.
Jesse Litsch pitches against Mike Mussina tonight and it'd be nice to show some offense. Let's face it, I know it's out of context, but if we can't beat the Yankees this season, it's tough to see how we will do next year when they will likely be much better and we will likely be mostly the same.
Tonight's title comes from a track off Spoon's record Ga Ga Ga Ga, which is way better than it sounds.

"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman

"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman

I make it with hazelnuts, sometimes macadamians
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
hey, that's cool
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman

we’re going to be scoring many today, does it?
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
'Canada we are better off with Harper'
You would think your slogan wouldn’t be damning with faint praise if you were running for office
Michael Kay
hahahahahahah, what a buffoon
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
another nice inning for Jesse
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
also, most consecutive games without diving for a ball
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
also, most consecutive supersizes at MacDonald's
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" --Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
big, slovenly, and lazy
hope we don’t sign him
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
Moonraker
singles off Mussina’s forearm
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
I love my kids....but wireless phones and children do not work....

oh well
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
Giambi

"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
maybe he just scared the ball away with his ugly
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" --Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
I thought you were in Calgary and they were in Toronto
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
it sure is
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
strangest play ive ever seen in met game
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" --Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
johan santana
butcher-boyed a groundball and broke his bat. the ground-ball ricocheted off of the shard of broken bat. ended up being an infield single
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" --Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
wow
now, you can’t intentionally make contact twice, but if the ball accidentally hits the bat twice, it’s in play, right?
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
yeah
they just gave him a single for it. it definitely would have been a ground out, possibly a 2xPlay
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" --Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
wont matter now
chub-man castillo is up with 2 out
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" --Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
yeah, terrible call on the previous pitch though
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" --Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
yee-ah!
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
nice Jesse
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
that movie looks great
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
yep
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
it looks good
but i think the oscar has to go to beverly hills chihuahua
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" --Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
true
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
i mean, it is a chihuahua
that lives in Beverly Hills
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
it's got can't miss written all over it
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" --Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
i thought the trailer looked cool
though they are not doing the part with the comic book ship, i forget what it is called
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" --Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
have you read the book?
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
yeah....years ago.....
I just picked up the trade paper back so I could read it again. I hope they fix the ending some but a terrific story
yeah
I am curious as to how they update it for the movie. The book seemed to me very much to be in the moment of the Cold War, and it will have to be updated to be relevant now
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
well
the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen was possibly the worst movie ever made
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
I suppose with the exception of the Phantom Menace
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
v for vendetta was good, and from hell was interesting...
not quite the sorry the comic was but good
I didn't see From Hell
but I had mixed feelings about V for Vendetta
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
I liked it. But then wasn't a fan of the comic
my understanding is moore never cashes the cheques from the moviesa
one wonders
why he doesn’t just take a bigger role in making the movies.
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
he figures the comic is his story and likes it to end there....
I think he’s writen a couple of movie scriptes
I can understand
but if it were my work, I would want to make sure it was represented, if not faithfully, at least competently
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
Yeah I would too,
and at least take the easy money. But he’s a bit weird. I think he demands that his name not appear on the movies, but haven’t heard anything about Watchman. I know the artist took part in it. I can understand, I have the odd weird friend
yeah
now that would’ve been interesting. of course, how many projects has he started and never finished?
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
wasn't it the Don Quixote movie?
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
they actually made a movie about
his futile quest to make the movie. it was classic since the movie he was trying to make was don quixote
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
Yeah I think you are right.....
I remember reading about it….actors got sick, all sorts of bad stuff happened….then the flood.
wow
impressive inning from Litsch, he rocks
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
Inglett
didn’t look very good against the lefty
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
hey, that's cool
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
well, I'm out
the early verdict: Litsch: great, Snider: good, everyone else: needs work
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
So since the 4 run inning on Saturday
we’ve scored 2 runs, and Rolen drove in both.
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
Maybe they're playing for the draft pick
If we get one of the top 15 we give our second round pick to the Dodgers when we sign Manny.
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
That's three upside-down Ks for Zaun
and one right-side-up.
"He almost has to start. Do you believe in miracles?"
