I’ll tell ya what happened... absolutely nothing, for hours. I went to the bathroom.... came back... did I miss anything? Nope, nothing. Then I went and changed the air cleaner in my car, came back, still nothing. Dicked around I the garage for a while with the radio on... 9+ innings, nothing. So I went to bed, watched some YouTube videos. Later, I thought... hmm wonder f the Yankees won? Turned the radio back on and found that Aaron Judge was as bored with this game as I was so he put it away. Then, because all of his hits are non-clutch, Stanton did a me too. The end. Long boring game.
IllI give you my best free verse ... A-hem ... Ahh-AHHH-AAAHHHHH-AAaAaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHaaaa-ah-ah-ah-aaaaaaaaAaAaHaHaHaaaAAAAAAhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !!!!!!!!!
I kept tuning in and tuning out, a total snooze fest which is surprising since Sasha Grey was pitching ( good night for him, Brava),,,,, finally finally finally checked back in, but just after the 13th inning blasts, damn,,,,,,, any other year this would have been a pineapple for us, cue the mighty WinWarblist AAAaaaaaaHHhiiiiiiiiiiiiAAAaahahahhaAAAAAaaaa!!!
We didn't expect much from Sonny The guy with a head that is funny He channeled Cy Young And I coughed up a lung Cheering, "He's well worth the money!"
But Toronto had their Cy as well And our BAs were going to hell When Aaron took over And ended in clover By ringing the ball like a bell
John Carlo stepped up to the plate Lacking pressure, he can be just great He lasered a shot And went into a trot And you thought that it must just be fate
The bullpen kept Blue Jays at bay They floundered while our guys made hay 'Twas no doubt about it We might as well flout it These Yankees are doing OK
Here's a slightly different take done to "Penny Lane"
"Sonny Grey"
Sonny Grey, the pitcher, helped to win a baseball game Attacked the plate, had good command, more strikes than balls. In the 13th Judge cleared the wall. and ended his shame...
It was nice to see John Carlo playing like he’s mad it seems that Didi might again has found his stroke Although Sanchez is still a “moke’ We won anyway.
Sonny Grey looks like he just turned it around. But we've been here before and run aground. So, we'll see meanwhile back...
Gleybar Torres suffers from trying to do too much He should stop swinging every time for the fence Also, Mueller should indict Mike Pence I just had to say…
In other Yankee news it looks like Austin's spit the bit It's likely that we get Torreyes back today, this doesn't mean that he'll get to play he should get to stay.
Sonny Grey looks like he just turned it around. But we've been here before and run aground…
Here's my take, with apologies to Tennessee Ernie Ford:
"You play thirteen frames and whattaya get? Another win closer to a-playin' the Mets Sonny put in eight and the pen did five They shut down the Jays and that's no jive.
If you see us comin' you better get lost. A lotta teams didn't and a lot got tossed. One fist's Giancarlo, the other is Judge They'll pound you down to a puddle of sludge.
They was born one mornin' in an' old wood crate Picked up a bat and walked up to the plate. Hit that ball into the upper deck Left-a Cashman gaspin' 'Now what the heck?'
You play thirteen frames an' whattaya get? Still a game behind Boston who we ain't caught yet. Metsies don't you cross us cause we ain't got time, We'll beat you down like some old French mime."

ReplyDeleteI was in Cleveland watching the Schmindians beat the Brewers. was attacked by midges. Shades of Joba! (By the way, we need a dude like Kluber.)

ReplyDeleteWe didn't expect much from Sonny
ReplyDeleteThe guy with a head that is funny
He channeled Cy Young
And I coughed up a lung
Cheering, "He's well worth the money!"
But Toronto had their Cy as well
And our BAs were going to hell
When Aaron took over
And ended in clover
By ringing the ball like a bell
John Carlo stepped up to the plate
Lacking pressure, he can be just great
He lasered a shot
And went into a trot
And you thought that it must just be fate
The bullpen kept Blue Jays at bay
They floundered while our guys made hay
'Twas no doubt about it
We might as well flout it
These Yankees are doing OK
ReplyDeleteJohn M: Nice work.
THIS WAS THE EXACT KIND OF GAME WE WOULD LOSE THE LAST 4 - 5 YEARS.
ReplyDeleteON THE ROAD.
EXTRA INNINGS.
NOT NOW.
GREAT BULLPEN WORK. (EVEN DELLIN).
It took too long
ReplyDeleteFor Judge to swing
So after thirteen
We finally sing.
I second that emotion LBJ, John M, bravo, a rhyme supreme!
ReplyDeleteAnd absolutely ALLCAPS, any other year we'd have gone to bed sleeping with a pineapple pillow!
Really good job John M.

Brilliant stuff I'm very impressed
ReplyDeletePoetry and song some very funny talented posters on here.
The most Bohemian of Yankee blogs on the net :D
Great work, John M. and Alphonso!

And great work, Anonymous!
ReplyDeleteThirteen innings and thirteen comments!
ReplyDeleteOops. now 14.
D'OH!
Now you've done it. We have to get up to at least 26 now.

ReplyDeleteSome vintage John (and regretfully some Michael Kay) against the Mets.
Off topic, but another example of the small market (RTA (tm)) fan base:
