I'm pretty sure I was in Long Island City watching the Yankees beat the Jays when this game happened.

[Dave in Fairfax]

Man, that Dmitri Young was a hefty young fella.

[Ali the Baseball Cat]

It's a shame he never had a recorded entry in the CBP cheese steak challenge.

Don’t they adjust those. Some kind of voodoo.

[Natsinpwc]

So are they playing tonight?

Where is Gray?

[Dave in Fairfax]

Ramirez starting in place of Gray.

I'm hearing a lot of thunder in Fairfax, BTW.

[Dave in Fairfax]

Where is Gray?

Starters are wilting flowers who cannot handle a 1 1/2 hour change to their routines?

[Slateman]

Lol, Ramirez sucks

[Ali the Baseball Cat]

First Nicaraguan starter in MLB I can think of. 

[edit: looked it up, he's like the 5th lol]

Wasn’t Dennis Martinez of the Orioles one of them?

[Ali the Baseball Cat]

Si

Wasn’t Dennis Martinez of the Orioles one of them?

[Natsinpwc]

Listening on the radio and Charlie and Dave have no clue what Garcia was doing.

[Natsinpwc]

Si

Gracias

[NatNasty]

[NatNasty]

Lol, Ramirez sucks

I concur.

[hohoho]

Basketball on abc.

[Dave in Fairfax]

Well, for those expecting a bunch of homers from a Gray start, Ramirez is doing his part to fill his shoes.
