Stoeten will be joining us shortly, presumably after he finishes his burrito. (He's right behind me.)

Check out the smock on A.J.

I didn't know "Affliction" made button-ups now
by scottcarefoot at 7/3/2009 5:03:53 PM
Did someone say Burrito?
by Dany Heatley Speedwagon
That shirt will look great on AJ when he is grabbing his ankles later.
by DHSpeedwagon
Alright, folks. The burrito was a little fantastic, and I'm about to post the lineups, as this thing is two minutes from getting underway...

AJ is heading to the mound, and we're about to get this one underway.
by drunkjaysfans at 7/3/2009 5:07:46 PM
That looks like the right lineup.
by Beau
It's about fucking time, Beau.
by eyebleaf
Agreed, Beau. The Jays, for those who missed it, have dropped Vernon Wells to 6th in the lineup. He's been hitting 3rd and 4th all year, and doing an awful job of it.
by drunkjaysfans at 7/3/2009 5:08:56 PM
AJ has finished his warmups, and Marco Scutaro is stepping in for the Jays.
by drunkjaysfans at 7/3/2009 5:09:26 PM
The first pitch is high, and we're underway.
by drunkjaysfans at 7/3/2009 5:10:01 PM
Oh good, the fake ump idiots are there
by Jake edited by drunkjaysfans
Scutaro fouls off an 1-0 pitch, then misses on a bunt attempt. It's 1-2.
by drunkjaysfans at 7/3/2009 5:10:44 PM
Called strike three, and Scutaro is down.
by drunkjaysfans at 7/3/2009 5:11:15 PM
Nice movement on the fastball from AJ. He's been fantastic in the last month.
by drunkjaysfans at 7/3/2009 5:11:38 PM
Yankees are awesome and a rod is ganna hit two bombs today!
by Brady musick
Aaron Hill quickly down 0-2.
by drunkjaysfans at 7/3/2009 5:12:04 PM
Burnett throws one to the backstop.
by drunkjaysfans at 7/3/2009 5:12:20 PM
There's a ball, it's 2-2.
by drunkjaysfans at 7/3/2009 5:12:44 PM
FYI, I don't normally approve comments like "Yankees are awesome!" but I just wanted to show we're open to everyone's viewpoint in here.
by drunkjaysfans at 7/3/2009 5:13:43 PM
Burnett just misses to go to ball three, and another one makes it to the backstop, so Hill is on with a 1 out walk.
by drunkjaysfans at 7/3/2009 5:14:06 PM
Lind at the plate, the Jays new third hitter, as Burnett watches Hill on first.
by drunkjaysfans at 7/3/2009 5:14:28 PM
1-1 pitch is fouled back as Hill was breaking for second.
by drunkjaysfans at 7/3/2009 5:15:06 PM
Even my viewpoint?
by DHSpeedwagon
Yes, DHS. Even yours. Though I've been slow to approve the onslaught of comments so far... let me get my bearings.
by drunkjaysfans at 7/3/2009 5:15:47 PM
Cervelli comes out to talk to Burnett. It's 2-2 to Lind. One out, Hill on first.
by drunkjaysfans at 7/3/2009 5:16:05 PM
I can't express how happy I am that Wells is not batting third or fourth. Glee. I am gleeful.
by eyebleaf
And Lind's down. Rolen to the plate.
by drunkjaysfans at 7/3/2009 5:16:44 PM
Swinging strikeout for Lind, FYI.
by drunkjaysfans at 7/3/2009 5:17:04 PM
Rolen flies a 1-0 pitch to right. Easy play for Swisher, and that's the inning.
by drunkjaysfans at 7/3/2009 5:17:27 PM
Top of the order coming up for the Yankees. Jeter, Damon, Teixeira.
by drunkjaysfans at 7/3/2009 5:18:44 PM
Brian Tallet finishing his warmups for the Jays.
by drunkjaysfans at 7/3/2009 5:19:31 PM
think Tex will bat left given how tallet mows down righties?
by Dewey
I don't think so, Dewey, but it might not be an awful idea. I don't think I'm too worried if I'm Tex and I'm facing Tallet, frankly.
by drunkjaysfans at 7/3/2009 5:20:08 PM
Jeter lines one to right that looks like it might drop, but it hangs up enough for Rios to get to it. One down.
by drunkjaysfans at 7/3/2009 5:20:25 PM
Damon at the plate. 1-1 pitch is taken low.
by drunkjaysfans at 7/3/2009 5:21:16 PM
Fouled back. 2-2.
by drunkjaysfans at 7/3/2009 5:21:38 PM
Damon grounds to Hill. It takes a funny hop, but there's still plenty of time to make the play.
by drunkjaysfans at 7/3/2009 5:22:13 PM
Two down and Teixeira is batting right to face Tallet. I guess he didn't look at his splits.
by drunkjaysfans at 7/3/2009 5:22:43 PM
And I guess it didn't matter, base hit to left field for Teixeira.
