Scratch Pad

I shall gambol and cavort about my office later, pants on head, willing the ruin of the vile Bostonian rabble, miserable benighted fuckers that they are. 
Then he asked a fairly legitimate question:
And where shall I post my thoughts about the game as it unfolds like a delicate flower?  Here?  Or will there be a new field in which to sow my thoughts? 
The real-time chat thingy Mustang set up last year during the playoffs seems like too much at this point, so I thought it would be useful to start a post for the exclusive purpose of gathering in-game comments.

Consider the comments section of this post to be "a new field in which to sow [your] thoughts".

Let 'er rip.

I must give thanks to you, LBJ, for the kindness of this most fair and righteously tilled field in which to sow my most formidable and inchoate thoughts.

TheWinWarblist said...

Have at you, vile New England scum!! AaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHaaaa-ah-ah-ah-aaaaaaaaAaAaHaHaHaaaAAAAAAhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !!!!!!!!

October weather. Our weather.

TheWinWarblist said...

Ssshhh! The Voice is Stepping Up ...

Stang said...

Mary just said, "What's the opposite of BOSTON? 'Not S.O.B.'."

TheWinWarblist said...

Please kiss Mary for all of us.

KD said...

YES!!!!

TheWinWarblist said...

What the fuck is The Master going on about? And, of course, AAAaAaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHaaaa-ah-ah-ah-aaaaaaaaAaAaHaHaHaaaAAAAAAhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !!!!!!!!

Ken of Brooklyn said...

Stanchino!

KD said...

Nice time for Stanton to come alive

Local Bargain Jerk said...


Interesting: I live in New England so I'm watching the game on NESN (the RS station). Their cameras remain glued to Stanton.

Yanks live rent free in their heads

Local Bargain Jerk said...


RS announcers are raving about Judge's throw in to get the runner at 2B.

KD said...

Well, it was pretty damn awesome!

TRUE YANKEE

JM said...

John Carlo K Scranton is doing okay tonight.

KD said...

Need to make those plays Gary

JM said...

Anyone who thinks Sanchez isn't a good defensive catch should watch this inning on a loop.

Leinstery said...

Gary needs to pull his head out of his ass for once and keep those balls in front of him. The Binders was right to call him out for being terrible. That was an entire extra inning of work for Sevy.

Leinstery said...

And Gardy, just hang em up dude. So Sevy throws a marathon and these assholes can't even give him a minute to breathe.

Gary is Scary,

Not always in a good way.

Stanton is working his way into the lineup.

TheWinWarblist said...

Why can't we put this big hamburger away?

TheWinWarblist said...

Sickening.

TheWinWarblist said...

I wish Nick Johnson was here.

Leinstery said...

Anyone up for some pineapple?

KD said...

Let’s go Judge!

TheWinWarblist said...

I'm rising. The cleaning crew is giving me "that" look again. I think they're all Mets fans.

Leinstery said...

Wily ol' Joe Espada wouldn't have sent Gleyber

KD said...

Up to Chapman now.

Give us an insurance run!

Leinstery said...

Gary is pure excrement. Get him to a buffet lunch with A-Rod tomorrow

Leinstery said...

I can smell pineapples

KD said...

That was a great Yankees win!

TheWinWarblist said...

A pleasure people. I need to get dressed and wind down.

Leinstery said...

Phew, must have been some ptsd from Chapman's multiple meltdowns against the Red Sox last year.

John had a warble for the ages. Up and down the scale----

Gary Sanchez star of the game, WTF were you watching Suzyn?

anyways, John's warble was reminiscent of Pavarotti singing Nessun dorma

Whenever Leinstery posts, don't you feel the vapors of psychopathy wafting over the blog?

HoraceClarke66 said...

Psychopathy is good!

Our hitting was largely contained, and our fielding was shaky...and we still won! This team looks confident way beyond its years.

Anonymous said...

I'M SO LATE TO THIS PARTY, BUT WOW, WHAT A WIN.

WHAT A ROLL.

METS ARE SMOKED.

..... AND I GOT NEWS FOR ALL YOU BOSOX FANS.

WE'RE BETTER THAN YOU.

YOU CAN SEE IT.

ranger_lp said...

I still think Giancarlo Stanton wont be sent to Scranton is a better HR call.

If the Yanks sweep this series, it will put all teams in the AL on notice that the Yanks are scary good and possibly a team of the century at this rate.

13bit said...

Dudes - despite this historic streak, it's a bit early to talk about dynasties, destiny or "teams of the century." I think we need to be patient, keep our juju powder dry, and not get too hubristic here.

We also need more pitching. It's early May. One day at a time.

This should be written somewhere in the masthead of this blog...

13 BIT, AND LBJ ARE CORRECT.

MORE PITCHING.
