Who wants to tell me how great the Yankees are doing?
Who wants to tell me how we are " this" close to turning things around?
Who wants to remind me how Judge is really a talent and Sanchez is a great hitter?
Who wants to tell me we were down 0-2 against Cleveland and came back?
Who wants to tell me that we'll have Tanaka and Luis back for games 6 and 7, respectively?
I am not in the fucking mood.
FUCK no.
ReplyDeleteFuck you you fucking fuck fuckers and your fucking fucking fuck face fucks.
2018 is looking good, baby. For today, we have reverted to the story of the last 10 years - DEAD BAT SYNDROME. String up the hitting coach.
ReplyDeleteThe gun in the picture is appropriate. They executed we did not. They catch the potential home run (in the first row) Judge does not. They make the relay play. We do not. That's the difference so far.

They're safe at home. We aren't.
Life is just a bowl of cherries.
ReplyDeleteDon't turn that rifle on yourself, Alphonso, when the Yanks come storming back in the Bronx.
It's only baseball.
2 RUNS IN 2 GAMES.
ReplyDeleteAIN'T BEATING ANYONE WITH THAT KIND OF PRODUCTION.
..... AND HERE IS WHERE WE GET TO CHIDE BRIAN CASHMAN.
HE LOVES HOME RUNS....THAT SEEMS TO BE THE ONLY WAY WE CAN PUSH A RUN ACROSS.
PROBLEM IS, IN THESE TYPE OF PLAYOFF SERIES, THE HOMERS DON'T SEEM TO COME.
HOW ABOUT PAYING FOR A FUCKING DH THAT CAN HIT NEXT SEASON.
STOP DOING THE "REVOLVING DH" BULLSHIT, AND STOP CHINTZING ON DH'S. (MATT HOLLIDAY WAS $12 MILLION.... EDWIN ENCARNACION WAS $80 MILLION).
YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR.
PAPI GOT PAID BIG AS A DH AND HE TORTURED US AND EVERYONE ELSE.
NEXT YEAR, NO MORE CHINTZING HAL.
Well, Judge didn't catch the HR because they let the kid steal it, part of MLB's increasingly fraudulent, home-field advantage.
ReplyDeleteHey, can't complain. We have the most famous kid-steals-home-run story in history (though that was before video replay).
To me, the most pertinent thing is that the Yanks have got to stop going with the flow, and teaching Judge and Sanchez to go for the home run or nothing, every at-bat. This is a sure-fire way to create a team full of Alfonso Sorianos.
Twenty years ago, the Yanks transformed the game by being patient every at-bat, running up pitch counts, wearing pitchers down.
No reason we shouldn't do something equally revolutionary now. Teach everybody to hit to the opposite field again.
The Yankees teams of the 1990s—and the 1970s—were legendary because they could beat you many different ways, with five straight singles as well as three straight homers. Time to build that team again.
We can never win with this production. 1 measly run in to games.
ReplyDeleteWe should learn from the Astros. 3 runs in two games and look at their success.
Point is, they are better at the fundamentals. The things you can actually practice day in and day out. And yes, as the showed before, nothing wrong with hitting 2 doubles in a row or 3 hits per inning. Scores more points than merely going for the fences.
ReplyDeleteOK. To add some positive to all of this brown smelly stuff:
I was alive in 1996. There was a World Series. NYYs vs. Atlanta.
Game One: Braves 12, Yankees 1
Game Two: Braves 4, Yankees 0.
Not only did the team NOT HIT, but Game One was a clear demonstration of how great the Braves were, compared with the Yankees. Game Two wasn't a precise repeat, but it certainly seemed that a sweep was coming. And the "Gammonites" -- to borrow from this site -- were singing in sync about how great Atlanta was, blahblahblahEFFINGblah.
On our side of the fence, we had clear memories of how badly 1995 sucked. Sure, Showalter was no longer the manager.....the guy in charge was Joe Torre, a career loser (to borrow from DJT) as a manager.
Now.......anyone want to take a stab at how THAT turned out? Incidentally, game 5 of that series was a 1-0 shutout (Pettite with Wettland) and game 6 ended 3-2.
SO: Have some goddamn stones. Wear your Yankee hats. Stop taking Judge down in your mind -- remember how surprising he has been, both in April and September. STICK WITH YOUR TEAM.
Or go and become a Red Sox fan, if that suits you better.
Remember: If the team can pull this off . . . the prize is a World Series against the EFFING Dodgers.
I was at game 3 in 1996. I was at the Bucky F. Dent game in 1978.
ReplyDeleteBOTH teams had no chance of winning those two years. Guess what happened? That being said, when are they going to start scoring runs? Hopefully tomorrow.
Incidentals:
I have no recollection of Mariano batting in the 1996 game, but the box score says I should.
There is a Bucky Dent brick in Phen Weigh near the "Yaz" entrance.
I LIKE YOUR STYLE JOE FORMERLY OF BROOKLYN!
ReplyDeleteALRIGHT!
