I’ll have to watch this at work because it’s not streaming well, but what I saw was *epic*.

Gotta love that Yanks/Tribe game. 14 runs in one inning!?!?!

the worst thing about it is that the song is from the musical CHICAGO. so they were probably supposed to be wearing white sox uniforms and someone just royally screwed up.

Oh god lord…that’s hilarious and scary all at the same time. What is probably true is that it probably wouldn’t take a lot to get a good # of the crazy Sox to give it a go.

And the Yanks are now losing 20-2. Gotta say…it’s enjoyable. I said over at twitter…the pitching for the Yanks has made our starting pitching look like rock stars. To say our starting pitching has not been stellar would be an understatement…but what the Yanks have going on is ridiculous. And, at least our bullpen is getting it done sans one Mr. Javi Lopez.

Those are the gayest baseball uniforms I’ve ever seen, and I mean that in the best possible way.

Given Wang’s ERA, the Yanks should consider adding Swisher to the rotation.

@Texy: Probably. Or they shrunk them somehow. Either way - I dig 'em. @Twinkie: It is, isn't it? My eyes bugged out at the score, and then my jaw dropped when I saw it was just the top of the 4th inning. I proceeded to laugh myself silly. Poor wittle Wang. He (and his name) is going to get the newspaper headline treatment all over the country tomorrow. It's going to be ugly...and fantastic. Ya know, I've heard many people comparing the new stadium to an amusement park. I rolled my eyes, but now I'm inclined to agree. It's only been 3 games, but I've gotten plenty of amusement from it.

Off-topic, but this Indians-Yankees game is wonderful!

@Clarity: I'm convinced they're wearing either child-sized or women's cut jerseys.

@Clarity: The only thing jazz hands are good for is mockery.

Gotta admit, kinda loving the tightness of those uniforms.

I now have this image in my head of Pedroia doing jazz hands.

@Crane: Bay would certainly be better than Youk, at least.

@Twinkie: I dunno, I think Bay could pull it off.

@Twinkie: If Lowell's hip is the biggest obstacle here, then he better go on Dancing with the Stars after he retires!

@lone1c: Not sure Mikey would be able to do it, what with his hip and all. Not that I think any of the others would fair too well, either... Awesome routine, though!

Wonder if the biking gloves are a practical consideration? They may not be used to trying to do spin moves and so on in gloved hands, and so they went for an in-between approach and use biking gloves.

That said—I’m trying to picture Drew, Bay, Youk, and Lowell doing this routine and it’s KILLING me.

The biking gloves cracked me up. They got their hands on full Sox unis, but they didn’t get full fingered gloves?

That’s the Fosse. Ain’t it grand?

(I think Bob Fosse would probably roll over in his grave if he saw a bunch of Aussies wearing American baseball unis and doing his moves.)

Those guys have terrible batting stances.

My favorite part is when the lights go low and they become sultry baseball dancers.
