9:09 Drew walks, Lowell flies out to center. As a badass chick once said, “bored now.”  (Buffy, by the way, was a UPHer, except she could never post because she had to keep saving the world.)  Kotchman flies out to Damon.
9:13 Mark Melancon is in for the Yankees.  And apparently the Yankees just picked up [...]

8:36 How briefly can we blog this half inning? Yankees have a new pitcher, David Robertson. (1-1, with a 3.60 ERA)
8:38 Ellsbury strikes out, yet reaches first.  Posada’s just having a night for himself, isn’t he?
8:43 V-Mart Ks, 1 out.
8:46 ARod just made a lovely play across the diamond on a foul ball.  Girardi is [...]

8:10 We really didn’t mean this liveblog to be quite this epic, but possibly UPH should have known better.
8:12 Chamberlain walks Martinez on four pitches.
8:14 You can actually see Chamberlain gritting his teeth.  8 straight balls in a row, the boo birds are coming out, Ortiz is up, and there’s men on first and second [...]

7:24 Derek Jeter can still play shortstop, folks. Of course, Lowell still ends up with an infield hit, but we can’t actually remember the last time we saw any shortstop range that far, especially a really really old one.  Stellar footwork: apparently he made some adjustments in the off season.
7:26 Casey Kotchman just hit the [...]

7:01 Apparently, the announcer doesn’t want to sound like he’s comparing today’s baseball to the finer vintage of several years ago.  To prove this, he’s going to do just that.  Until Pedroia homers to (of course) right field!  You can send the bill for the giant chunk of the wall now lying on the warning [...]

6:35 At least the commercial breaks are short.  Chamberlain tried to throw one past him, but JD Drew doubles.
6:37 A full count to Lowell gets the fans excited, and the commentators, by the way, are golden.  To wit: “If you don’t get seven or eight innings out of your starter, you’re going to need your [...]

6:07  CST:  Wow, John Smoltz’s hairline has officially gone from recedING to recedED.
6:11:Ellsbury’s gone in 3 pitches.  The commentators are correct that the man works fast. Not that this game won’t still somehow manage to take four and a half hours.
6:12 Dustin Pedroia, now 7-13 against Joba Chamberlain.   Damon still can’t play left field, but [...]
