Who is at the Yard this weekend?
The Dustettes and I will be there tomorrow on reserve level. Hit a Son up if you're there and want to grab a beer!
Wish I was going...
Is Tommy actually going to play? That's the thing that should not be.
He's managing the Dodgers' old-timers team.
So that means Newcombe will pitch?
Maybe they'll bring back Octavio Dotel?
Eugenio Valez?
Jason Schmidt?
Andruw Jones?
Milton Bradley?
The corpse of Steve Howe?
I don't think Milton's available.
Hah! But Strawberry is?
Piazza? So we can boo him.
Then Vin can come out and kick him in the nuts.
Then we can scribble on Tommy's nuts.
Funny Or Die @funnyordie 7 Jun
Hey, baseball fans! We're taking over the @MLB, @Dodgers and @Braves accounts Sunday afternoon! Follow them and prepare for ball jokes!
I'm fully prepared for ball jokes.
Hey reporting in from my favorite cantina now. Loads of people sitting at the bar or passing through glancing up at baseball game now on the telly (BoSox losing to Anaheim) talking about Puig and the energy that seems to be growing in the Dodgers clubhouse. Lots of Dodger shirts and caps seen today. I'm feelin' it. And I'm feelin' the tequila.
And I'm feelin' Neeebs' mom.
So in this dodgers Yankees old timers game what Yankee are playing
I'm in the Bay Area escaping the Valley heat. No way I get a TV with the game on but I will have my MLB app going on the iPad inbetween tasting some northern rhones and probably punching out the first Giants fan who over-accentuates French names or his baseball team.
You know those indestructible and dynastic Giants.
@Alex
Just Don Mattingly and Abe Vigoda.
Did I miss why this oldtimers game isn't when the Yankees are in town? Is it cause that game during the week.
Yankmes aren't coming to town this season. We're playing there, though.
Check July 30 and 31 games Dustino.
Fuck! You're of course right. I was thinking about Red Sox, who play here but we don't play there. My bad.
Billy Crystal is still alive? There is no god.
Didn't realize Texas and Toronto were scheduled for a double-header today...
Marlins-Mets game about there too. Fans getting their money's worth today.
I never leave games early, but I think I'd kill myself sitting through 17 innings with a score of 1-1.
Do they still stop serving beer in the 7th?
Yeah. I was at an Oakland Dodger game in 2006 that went 18 innings and ended on a bases loaded walk. Brutal.
18th inning!
No runs in the last 14 innings.
19th inning!
20th inning!
No Minnesota and Washington are in extra innings. I hear they're gonna try to last through 25.
Now*
Miami scored. Come on, Mets, tie it up. I've got nothing to do until 7:10.
And Red Sox and Anaheim are in a double feature today.
Kings already down 2-0.
Kings look like they are done. I'm depressed. Only a two homerun Puig game will bring me out of this funk. But I'll take the one he is pretty much guaranteed to hit.
Watching Vin's intros on Prime Ticket. This is awesome.
Had to go to the Yard at the last minute just to see Sandy. Caught Freddy's inning pitched. Not gonna lie I cried a little.
Introducing Koufax. Chills.
It's a three-hanky game, Dusty!
FINAL: Yankees 1, Dodgers 1
