Many Thanks for posting this video.... good laughs!!
Sox chick in red hat is surely the MVP. What reaction time! What form!
at 1:02 she's sitting with full beer in left hand when shmucky knocks beer out of Finally's hand;
before clock even hits 1:04 she stands up, has the PRESENCE OF MIND to switch beer to right hand for cleaner shot and completely empties cup in face to the rousing approval of everyone, even the brunette with shmucky cant contain her smile as she walks away
best of all the slapstick defuses the situation, protecting her friend Finally who was certainly put in a tough spot, and the tension gone
and all in 2 seconds? That's not really enough time to think.... that's all instinct baby!!
and all happens under the giant Bud ad you can see at the end, official sponsor of all beer fights. Hey if you're going to waste a beer might as well be the king of nasty american lagers
How about Tanaka with the 2-1 win over Detroit?
Is Detroit a AAA team with 1 bona fide major leaguer. I don't think so!
Yankees took 3 out 4 from the second hottest team in baseball and face the hottest tomorrow thru the weekend.

Quite impressive what the Yankees just did in Detroit, especially if Girardi had gone to the bullpen to relieve a super strong 7 innings by Sabathia, they would of took all 4 games.
There was talk by Michael Kay and Paul O'neil as to if Girardi would bring Betances back out in the ninth to face Miggy today and then go to Miller and seems Girardi has silenced the rumors that Miller is his closer, at least for now anyways. Betances was blowing away guys in the 7th with a 98 MPH high heater and a devastating hook, he is back and the Betances/Miller duo is gonna wreak havoc all season long, barring injuries.
In other news, the light hitting red socks have one, YES ONE player in their starting 9 hitting above .300 (Bogaerts at .302) and no others hitting .270 or better. Mookie "the greatest new player in the game" (bwhahaha) Betts is at .193, pedroia is at .254, Ortiz .192, Naploi .160 A Craig .150 Nava .222 and the Flying Hawaiian, errr make that the Grounded Hawaiian, Shane Victorino is hitting a awesome .143 and the 2 saviors (panda and hanley r) are at .263 each. Good thing the socks have great pitching, (insert sarcasm smiley here) Bwhahahahahahahahaahahahah
Nice to see the Mets off to a great start, They actually have a team of likable players much like there cross town rivals in the Boogie Down Bronx :thumb:

Uh oh Red Sox fans. The rival NY Yankees and Toronto Blue Jays are tied with your hosers for 1st place. Red Sox just dropped 2 out of 3 against the Rays, called a AAA team with 1 major leaguer somewhere by someone. Tomorrow, I will offee expert comment why the Red Sox slide will continue.
BOYZZZ!!!
Schmucky was a complete failure. He takes a cheap shop like a coward behind the back of the Sox fan, gets slammed square in the face by a girl, then at 1:08 a guy in a Jeter jersey starts to push him and his embarrassing act away from the scene of his shame. Talk about being rejected when a Yankee fan pushes one of his own away over a Red Sox fan. Thanks to the guy with no team for posting this video. BRAVO!
In other news Buchholz did very well today in his usual up and down way but the bats abandoned him many times. At one point Pedroia, Oritz, Sandoval made three outs on six pitches. That's just sad baseball.
:noidea:

@ DD41:
So you are saying Tanaka caught, cleaned and made filet's out of the Triple A Fish down in Tampa and those same AAA Rays are 8-8 and just took 2 from the "best team evah, part II"
Sorry folks but while the red socks may be better than last year, (how the heck could they be any worse, lol) there is just nothing sexy about that team whatsoever. The Mets with the style of ball they are playing are playing sexy baseball. I bet Smuler and Popedover wish the season was just 20 games long.

The Yankees did surprise the heck out of me in their series against the Tigers.
The Blue Jays also swept the visiting Orioles, which also surprised me considering they did it without Jose Bautista in the lineup for their last two games. I love Josh Donaldson, who's quickly making people forget the oft-injured Brett Lawrie. Donaldson hit a couple of bombs in that series, who also came at clutch times.
Pitcher Drew Hutchison, who pitched the season opener against the Yankees, pitched great & in my opinion has become the ace of the staff. He reminds me of a young Roy "Doc" Halladay.

:nono: Not Quite!
Need the Yanks to finish season with better record than Mets!! Apparently friendly wagers are valid even if you were drunk when you made them.
Mets are slight favorites to win this weekend subway series. (-115 vs -105)
Soberly and unfriendly taking Yanks on principle alone
PLAY BALL!
Well, the Yankees and the Red Sox are tied in first place. But do you really think that the 2 teams are really equal?
I remember someone, somewhere saying that the Run Differential factors in a good predictor on how a team fares in its record.
The Red Sox have a Run differential of +3.
The Yankees have a Run differential of +20 (make it +22 since Teixeira just hit a 2 run homer against the Mets, but the game is only in the first inning).
The Red Sox score .1875 more runs per game than their opponents. At this pace, the Red Sox at the end of the season will score around +30 more than their opponents.
The Yankees have scored on average 1.25 more runs than their opponents. At this pace the Yankees at the end of the season will score around +200 more runs than their opponents.
Odds are if the season continues to go as it has been going in these first 2 1/2 weeks, the Yankees will definitely win more games than the Red Sox.

Great game pitched by Michael Pineda, going 7 2/3 innings giving up 5 hits and 1 run against a team with an 11 game winning streak. If that isn't top notch, I don't know what is.
The Yankees also are beating the pants off of the Red Sox in two very important categories, team ERA and BA, the Yankees are also tied for the lead league in HR, so much for the light, light, light hitting Yankees and if this continues a certain delusional individual will never come out of his hole.
Recent sighting of the well known delusional individual.
BOYZZZ!
YOU need a haircut and shave pal. Thank God pics don't smell. BTW - isn't trying to goad someone who can't respond a suspension offense.
It's going to be an up and down season for the Red Sox, mostly because of their unreliable starting pitchers. This is exactly what I had been expecting given the recent records of those like Buchholz, Masteron, Miley, and Porcello needs work too. They give up way too many runs and their defense has some big holes. I see them lucky to finish 3rd. I just don't have a lot of faith in teams built like this. Last night they came through depending on big hits. However, tough pitching has already shut down that a couple of times. As I've said, it's roller coaster time.
Still, I wish they would find more ways to have Holt and Bogearts in the lineup at the same time. Both have been performing pretty well and I don't see why it's necessary to shut down one or the other.

BALTIMORE — Brock Holt was the shortstop for the Red Sox on Friday night against the Orioles, his second start there in four games.
Manager John Farrell was careful to say before the game that he was using Holt simply to get a lefthanded bat in the lineup and hadn’t lost any faith in Xander Bogaerts.
Whether it’s at shortstop, right field, or somewhere else, Holt is changing the discussion about how often he should be playing. His three-run homer in the eighth inning gave the Sox a 7-5 victory at Camden Yards.
On a night when David Ortiz and Hanley Ramirez hit back-to-back homers, a 180-pound utility infielder delivered the biggest shot for the Sox.
“I love that guy,” Ortiz said.
Cheers,

Yes a suspension is warranted, telling someone that they need a haircut and a shave and insinuating that they smell is a big time suspension in my books.:nono:
Matt Harvey pitched a great game going almost the distance 8 2/3 giving up 2 runs and 5 hits to win the NY city rivalry second game. Tomorrow night is the rubber game of the series with Eovaldi facing Niese. Should be a good game.
Yes, the New England trio are always yelling about the rules but they never adhere to them. Just amazing.
Terrific young pitcher. He has overwhelming stuff and could be a #1 ace on just about any team in the Majors.
