I get to watch a Yankee/Red Sox high speed DVR skip all the bad parts double header tomorrow after sundown. Probably not the best way to start 5779. Then again, the Yankees are the 5779 Luxury Tax Champions! (Hat tip)
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.
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.
HOW CAN A TEAM THIS BAD HAVE 92 WINS!?!?!??? AHH! AHHH!!! Aha-ah-haaaaa!! HaaHaahahahahaaaaaaaaahhhh!! AAaAhhaaaa-haha-haaa-hhhhhHHHHHHHHaaaaAAHHHHHHHHHHHaaaa-ah-ah-ah-aaaaaaaaAaAaHaHaHaaaAAAAAAhhhhhhhhhhhh !!!!!
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
I really want the world to know about this great man who brought back happiness into my life again after my husband left me and the kids 3 years ago for another women online when i contacted Dr Believe he cast a love spell for me within 48 hours my ex husband start calling me and begging for forgiveness for everything that have happened between us. I was so happy to have my family back together with love again here is the email of Dr Believe via believelovespelltemple@gmail.com a man with the great powers you can also call him or add him on Whats-app: +2348156148821 God bless you I am very grateful for your help in my marriage.

ReplyDeleteShana Tova.

Yaweh !

ReplyDelete5779 already? Where does the time go...
"And that's off the glove of Sanchez. It'll go as a passed ball."
ReplyDeleteOne game playoff. Who's behind the plate?
Holy Hannah.
And thanks to the passed ball, it's 1-0.
ReplyDeleteIce cream for everybody!
Today is the Day of Atonement. So much for Hal and Cash and Boone and Rothschild and Thames to attone for.
ReplyDeleteWalker cut off Hicks' throw home. Probably prevented another passed ball by Sancho Fatzo.
ReplyDeleteSo glad Walker is in the lineup. No stopping us now.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteIf the Red Socks win this game and move on to take the World Series, does Gary Sanchez get a ring for the passed ball?
ReplyDeleteCan someone remind me again why we obtained Stanton?
ReplyDeleteWell looks like Boone has these boys ready to play tonight I can't keep up with such scintillating play!!!
ReplyDeleteThis 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.
The Whiffer does nothing, and now Ice Cream. Ben and Gary's.
ReplyDeleteA walk. Wow, he didn't swing at a bad pitch there. I'm shocked.
ReplyDeleteAnd now, Neil "The Hat" Walker. Mr. .220.
FFS, Walker nailed one.
ReplyDeleteMotherforker.
My hat's off to The Hat.
ReplyDeleteLooks like he just bought himself another years contract
ReplyDeleteDid I just see what I think I saw? Am I awake? What time is it...?
ReplyDeleteEasy, mein Herr. Betances or Britton could still blow it in the 9th.
ReplyDeleteBut Walker. Go figure.
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.
ReplyDeleteJudge checked his swing. That was bullshit.
ReplyDeleteAnon, you are correct. A full season of suckage does not a bat flip make.
ReplyDeleteBritton in the ninth.
ReplyDeleteDammit ICS!
ReplyDeleteDammitdammitdammitdammit ...
ReplyDeleteSanchez can't catch the ball, doesn't bother to give his pitcher a target. He will cost Boone his job.
ReplyDeleteAnDUjar could have thrown that DP ball away just as well as Heinie.
ReplyDeleteIt'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.
ReplyDeleteOMG WHAT IN THE HELL....
ReplyDeleteDammitdammitdammitdammit ... Dammitdammitdammitdammit ... Dammitdammitdammitdammit ...
ReplyDeleteThe Master just now: "The Yankees deserve to lose this game"
ReplyDeleteIs there such a thing as a double-pineapple?
I miss Mariano :(
ReplyDeleteLet Walker pitch, Britton catch, Sanchez lay out the post-game buffet.
ReplyDeleteI knew I shouldn’t’ve Tuned in. What utter sucktotude.
ReplyDeletePractice makes perfect ... I guess?
ReplyDeleteGive me a few minutes people. That was tough inning.
Magic number is 1.
A seven out, one inning save.
ReplyDeleteImpressive. Yanks win World Series in 4 games. Better than the 1927 Yankees.
ReplyDeleteAny fool knows that ONLY the 2011 Red Sox were better than the 1927 Yankees.

We'll take it.

And thanks for that reprint, Rufus. Always makes me feel good in times of trouble.
ReplyDeleteI WANT AARON HICKS BENCHED!!
ReplyDeleteWHAT 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.
Yeah, some of these guys could do with a "Gil Hodges," ALL-CAPS. I think you know what I'm talking about.
ReplyDeleteThe 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.

There seems to be a problem here.
