The Days of Awe Are Over! ATONE!

Posted by HoraceClarke66 at 1:19 PM

Actually, we can still watch the Red Sox in awe. Even while we atone by watching the Yankees.

God works in mysterious ways...

One game playoff. Who's behind the plate?

Holy Hannah.; September 18, 2018 at 7:54 PM
JM said...: And thanks to the passed ball, it's 1-0.

Ice cream for everybody!; September 18, 2018 at 7:55 PM
JM said...: Today is the Day of Atonement. So much for Hal and Cash and Boone and Rothschild and Thames to attone for.; September 18, 2018 at 7:56 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: Walker cut off Hicks' throw home. Probably prevented another passed ball by Sancho Fatzo.; September 18, 2018 at 7:59 PM
JM said...: So glad Walker is in the lineup. No stopping us now.; September 18, 2018 at 8:01 PM
JM said...: I think the key is to paint baseballs so they look like deep fried fritters or scoops of ice cream. You bet your ass Sanchez catches everything.; September 18, 2018 at 8:03 PM

Joe of AZ said...: Well looks like Boone has these boys ready to play tonight I can't keep up with such scintillating play!!!

This team has no balls....

Why the fuck is Toe and his .300 average on the bench while we waste at bats on Walker...

I hate management.; September 18, 2018 at 9:15 PM
JM said...: The Whiffer does nothing, and now Ice Cream. Ben and Gary's.; September 18, 2018 at 9:29 PM
JM said...: A walk. Wow, he didn't swing at a bad pitch there. I'm shocked.

And now, Neil "The Hat" Walker. Mr. .220.; September 18, 2018 at 9:33 PM
JM said...: FFS, Walker nailed one.

Motherforker.; September 18, 2018 at 9:39 PM

Austria's Only Baseball Fan said...: Did I just see what I think I saw? Am I awake? What time is it...?; September 18, 2018 at 9:41 PM
JM said...: Easy, mein Herr. Betances or Britton could still blow it in the 9th.

But Walker. Go figure.; September 18, 2018 at 9:52 PM
Anonymous said...: Walker flips his bat and walks 4 steps toward first base before breaking into a jog. Ah. Now you're Reggie Jackson, Neil? Whatta fuckin' bum.; September 18, 2018 at 9:53 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: Judge checked his swing. That was bullshit.; September 18, 2018 at 10:00 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: Anon, you are correct. A full season of suckage does not a bat flip make.; September 18, 2018 at 10:01 PM

Rufus T. Firefly said...: AnDUjar could have thrown that DP ball away just as well as Heinie.; September 18, 2018 at 10:16 PM
Leinstery said...: It's actually impressive how fucking terrible they are at this little aspect of the game called fielding. Well hitting for contact too, but for the moment we'll focus on fielding.; September 18, 2018 at 10:20 PM

Give me a few minutes people. That was tough inning.

Magic number is 1.; September 18, 2018 at 10:23 PM

Rufus T. Firefly said...: Any fool knows that ONLY the 2011 Red Sox were better than the 1927 Yankees.

Anonymous said...: Yankees played ball like farm animals in this game yet the scumbag Red Socks still find a way to lose by a solitary run. A team as pathetic as their fans. Even when the Yankees lose, they still cut the bella figura. Red Socks are as stylish as circus chimps. Eat it, Cora.; September 18, 2018 at 10:52 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: HOW CAN A TEAM THIS BAD HAVE 92 WINS!?!?!??? AHH! AHHH!!! Aha-ah-haaaaa!! HaaHaahahahahaaaaaaaaahhhh!!

HoraceClarke66 said...: That was a G_damned good win! I'd do 40 years in the wilderness for that one!

Well, all right. For the most part, it was the usual catalogue of horrors.

A key passed balls from ICS. All of 2 hits in 6 innings off Eovaldi, a man who gives up a hit an inning just by stepping on the field.
Three hits on the whole game. Fielding like dimwitted chimps.

We'll take it.; September 18, 2018 at 11:26 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: I'm on board with all those who were a little shocked that Neil Walker—at .220—went into his home run stroll. Yeah, you earned that one, big guys.

Afterwards, Ma Boone was practically weeping about how Neil is "a veteran guy"—questions: why are veterans automatically poignant in professional sports?—who got off to a tough start, but has really been producing more lately.

Actually, Neil has hit .185, with 6 ribbies now over the last month.

But hey—what's Ma supposed to say? And—we'll give him his props for having Walker in at first base to make that nice scoop on yet another bad, DP throw.

Who would have thought at the start of the season that Walker would have 6 more ribbies than Bird, be hitting 25 points higher, and be playing his position better than Bird does?; September 18, 2018 at 11:33 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: Anybody know if El Matador is okay? Yet another heart attack added to that ninth inning...

Also, we have to give Britton his props for that one, despite the poor throw. He did not give up or lose his concentration despite enormous provocation (all right, some of it his own. But still.).

I'm even willing to admit that Cashman's pick-ups bailed us out of this one.; September 18, 2018 at 11:37 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: And thanks for that reprint, Rufus. Always makes me feel good in times of trouble.; September 18, 2018 at 11:38 PM
Anonymous said...: I WANT AARON HICKS BENCHED!!

WHAT HE DID WAS INEXCUSABLE!

THAT SICKENING "RELAX-LOAF" HE PULLED THAT TURNED A DOUBLE INTO A TRIPLE WAS AS SICKENING TO ME AS THE FAMOUS SANCHEZ LOAF TO FIRST BASE.

WHO'S TO BLAME FOR THIS AWFUL, LASTING MALAISE THAT SEEMS TO BE LASTING?

GOTTA GO WITH THE MANAGER.

NO WAY THE BINDERS PUTS UP WITH THIS.

DON'T GET ME WRONG, I DON'T WANT THE BINDERS ANYWHERE NEAR THE STADIUM, BUT IT LOOKS TO ME LIKE WE NEED MORE OF A DISCIPLINARIAN FOR THIS TEAM.

TOO MANY YOUNG PLAYERS NOT HUSTLING ALL THE TIME.

SANCHEZ....GLEYBER....NOW HICKS.

CAN'T NOT HUSTLE IN NEW YORK GUYS, THERE IS TOO MUCH UNDER THE MICROSCOPE HERE.; September 19, 2018 at 12:43 AM
HoraceClarke66 said...: Yeah, some of these guys could do with a "Gil Hodges," ALL-CAPS. I think you know what I'm talking about.; September 19, 2018 at 1:05 AM
JM said...: The best teams find a way to win and the worst teams find a way to lose. We found many, many ways to lose last night. No hitting. Hicks assuming a double and dogging it. Two easy double plays, blown. Passed ball that created a run.

What did we do to win? Walker played first and hit a Brosius-worthy HR.

There seems to be a problem here.; September 19, 2018 at 7:36 AM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: I'd cut Hicks a break. Ground was soggy, and it didn't look like he would try for third. With a wet field, you don't want a pulled hammy unnecessarily.

And I hate to defend Walker, but he did win the game. He didn't flip the bat and it did hit the second deck.; September 19, 2018 at 9:24 AM
