In LIVE Color

We're a little late, but better than never. Here to live blog the 1 pm Sunday game with the Twins. Can Burnett redeem himself? HipHip's on the DL but one of us can type and both of us can talk.

Larry King threw out the first pitch. He looks like crap.

Two away. Lets do this. 0-2. Burnett, have you finally got your game on? Pie in the face. Pie in the face. Don't unravel. Ramiro, great play. That's why they paying ya, pena.

We're over these Geicho commercials. Justin Long, were you drunk when you signed on to 'drag me to hell'. This is the segment we like to call, seriously?

Back to the field. Yanks at bat. Can we see a snapshot of Kevin Cash por favor?

Let's go Jeet. One down. You realize this isn't batting practice, right Derek? Can we talk about how this pitchers name is Slowey. Damon, don't get ejected. Thanks announcers for us telling us this Sunday's day game. We weren't sure. Somehow we thought this might be Tuesday's night game. Go, Johnny Go! No...not to the dugout. Eeek. The inning ended a little too fast. We need to slowey it down a little bit boys, pick your pitches.

Cuddyer. What's with the names on the Twins? Whoever your name is, we just struck you out with a breaking ball. Two away and at least we're hanging in there. Uno, dos, tres. Burnett, are you gonna join CC and Joba in the new movie 'How Our Power Pitchers Got Their Groove Back'? Let's call Justin Long's agent, clearly he'll be in anything.

Helloooooo, Alex. You look like you want to hit another homer. That's not a homer. Matsui, can you show A-Rod what we mean? Ok, not at all what we meant. Swish, let's climb out of your hole. Tex, can tell you it will feel so good. Call us. Wow, you really are not taking our advice, but still feel free to call us. Feel free to back up Burnett anytime boys. The game started at 1.

Those replays were really confusing. Giradi, you look badass with those shades. Like, if we say anything negative you will make us drop and give you twenty. From our couch. Warpaint on chubby faces, on the other hand, does not look badass at all. Full count and no outs. Keep it together, B. Nice catch, Damon. Like your shades too. Is Sunglasses Hut sponsoring this thing? We are stringing together a quilt made out of strikes. B seems back. Three away. Guess who's back? Back again? We can pitch. We make friends.

We think we should be in the roundtable discussion. We would look better in headsets. Would we have to wear ties?

GOT MELK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Damnit, you robbed him. Catching mits shouldn't work for the twins. We need to get some runs on the board. What was that Ramiro? You look so young. Like we could bounce you on our knee. Seriously, how old are you? Call us. Confused why we're still talking about the great day David Wells had 11 years ago. We get it. It was great. Meanwhile, 11 years later, another inning comes to a close without runs from our boys. Let's get out of our time machine, get back to the present and win this game.

We see two empty seats that have our names on 'em. And by two, we mean 40,000. Fifth strikeout. Nice work, B. Oh wait, something flashed at the bottom of the screen. 11 years ago, David Wells pitched a no-hitter. Is that why he's here? We weren't sure yet because they haven't really talked about it that much. Base hit. Pie in the face looks like he swallowed a lemon. Wow, this took a bad turn. It's ok Melk, you've carried the team like Yoshi. Double play. We got out of that hairy mess.

We're back round on the line up. Jeter, let's see your matrix moves. SAFE. We can see when Jeet runs it runs it. Hereeeeee's Johnny. Remember when he left the Red Sox for the Yankees? Stolen base!!! Stolen hearts. Good bunt. Good buns. Does anyone have a comb in the dugout? Johnny's hair looks winded. Tex, remember how you're not Slumpdog millionaire anymore? You're just millionaire. So, keep hitting. The announcers just mentioned fried dough and we're wondering if CC was behind that. Easy there slumpdog. We decided we're calling A-Rod, Lex. Let's go Lexi. Only his 8th walk off ? We thought he ate walk offs for breakfast, you know with a side of Roid. Not. Worth. It. Too many jokes.

A-Rod.....your boyfriends at 3rd. He wants to come home. He's humming 'My Boyfriends Back'. Hey laaa hey laaaa, bring him home. Slumber party at the mound. Who are you, Jason Varitek? Jeter, we'll throw you a life preserver in a second. People we'd rather see stranded: Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. David Ortiz. The cast of the Hills. This game is flying like Manny's dreads in the wind.

Apparently, the weather 11 years ago is worth airtime. Nick Punto? Seriously? Remember when Jorge Posada was our catcher? Good times, good times. We hear Posada's wife is a WILF...we bet his recovery time ain't bad. The Twins win for weirdest names in the MLB. Let's hope that's all they're gonna win. B, don't lose it on us now. It's cap day here on the couch. Ironic how it's actually bat day at the stadium. Let's start hitting now that we're outta that mini-jam.

Vidal Sassoon is up. LET'S GET SOMETHING ROLLING like a Manny joint. Nicky Swish, way to make our crush credible. The Melkman. is. up. Knock knock. Deo. Deeeeeooooooooooooo. We want to talk to Melky before batting practice. Strike Out. Will anybody bring Swisher home? We don't know how we feel with this all being on Pena's shoulders. Then again, the kids in the Bronx have pulling more than their weight lately. This game has actually put HipHip to sleep. Pena, wake her up. It's a slumber party again at the mound. Ouch.

How can we order some of that Yankee ice cream?

Pena's dropping it like it's hot. All this talk about the M&M boys is making us hungry. Burnett's keeping us satisfied.

Cash is out. Not surprising? Can Jeter make up the difference? What are the sizes of CC's and Joba's sweatshirts? Just curious. Really wish we had a mic on that pitchers' dugout conversation. CC is chewing something and we're pretty sure it's not sugarless gum. Nice Damon. LET'S MATERIALIZE. Anti-climatic. Great, no Phil Cooke and no Mo in the bullpen. That's promising. B seems to be holding on, on the other hand. Wheres a match for the Yanks bats? If we order more food, will they score?

Let's place some orders....two B strikeouts, one grand slam for the Yanks, with a tall glass of Melk and a side of Swish's digits. Punto walks. On second thought, we're not hungry. Or maybe we are. If B can work himself out of another traffic jam, we'll rethink it. Yikes. We're still hungry though, is that wrong? Pretty sure CC would back up the food thing. WE'RE ANGRY. GUARD HOME CASH, THANKS. WILD PITCHES ARE NOT SEXY. Upon replay, we see the ball hit him in the face. Apologies. We're hungry. Get us out of here, B. Shattered bat. Is that guy White ok? Yikes. He doesn't look like a spring chicken, either.

That Damon smile made us melt. The full count does not. We think the balls that are being tossed behind Cash like they are aimed for Citi Field are concerning. As are the familiar scenes of bases loaded in the 7th. B, do you need help? Cause we're not sure our bullpen can get out of this. We. want. to. believe. Big strikeout. We believe (a little). It's the 7th inning stretch. While they honor America, we're gonna look at the menu.

YEAH LEXI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Screamed on the phone with diner delivery. Looks like roids were a bad choice for you. Let's tie this up. YEAH HIT-DEKI!!!! Chugs into second and just like that, welcome back. With food on the way. We think we don't enjoy coming straight out and winning games. We like to scare eveyone. We have a flair for the dramatic. Swisher, we'd sacrifice for you any day. Do your magic, melk. Thirteen comeback wins. Exactly. If it were easy, it'd be boring. CLUTCH MATSUI. All tied up in the Bronx. Punto is a buzzkill. We just went to Sawx page to see if they were losing. They aren't playing till 4 pm, but the background template was enough to make us x out of their page. Fast. Socks are not a mascot. They are a laundry item.

Michael Kay, can you give us a shout out? Bullpen, can you not fall apart? Cuddlybears up again. Walks are nightmares.

We're eating but while we've been away: one commercial we couldnt understand by Cano and a CLUTCH THROW by Tex. Cash actually caught it. We're rocking and rolling in the 8th. LETS DO THIS BOYS!!!! Jeter's on third and its all up to LEXI. They hit 'em. Slowey's day has come to a stop. And we've got Matsui up to break this open. Bases loaded. Batsui strikes out and we're gonna pretend we didn't just lose the last ten minutes to false excitement.

9th inning is all it takes? Stay tight, bullpen. Mo is actually in. Michael Kay was incorrect. He is also repeating HipHip. Are we being bugged? Sandman delivered.

Can we do it? No need for heroics Swishalicious. Just need a single and...are you single? Clutch percent melk is up. Good bunt by Melk. He's a center-field of all trades. We have to admit, that hug from A-Rod made us all warm and fuzzy. Rookies up. Rookie surprises. Gardner risks it all and comes up short. Michael Kay is waxing poetic about how that would have been a great play, had he scored, but since he didn't, it was a bad one. Thanks for clearing. that. up. No one is talking to Gardner in the dugout. Cold train ride home?

We're wondering what the Twins are talking about on the mound: what bar you wanna go to after this? Joshua tree? nah, man the hotel mini bar is stocked. coo'.

ROBBIE. way to look awake. one eye was closed.

Extra innings. we're full. the heiniken commercials are starting to wear thin. that was easy. top of the order coming up shortly. forecast: win hopeful. a-rod home run breeze coming from the west. Fly OUT Jeter. Getting down to the wire. I mean, we wouldn't be upset if A-Rod won the game. Oh, no need, DAMON continues his reign of terror!!!!! Five in a row. pie in the face. Exit Victory. Why is it that even though all these celebrations always look exactly the same, they never cease to be cute?
