BernBabyBern said...: Well, if we keep chipping away, we'll catch them somewhere around the 14th.; October 5, 2018 at 10:31 PM
ranger_lp said...: Shit; October 5, 2018 at 10:31 PM
JM said...: Stanton sucks. I don't care how many meaningless HRs he hits, or his occasional high average streaks. We need a consistent hitter in that slot, not him.; October 5, 2018 at 10:31 PM
JM said...: We need more Miggys, less John Carlos.; October 5, 2018 at 10:32 PM
thecontrarian said...: Wile E. Veteran. Nice! That makes CC our Craft E. Lefty; October 5, 2018 at 10:32 PM

Pocono Steve said...: I'm already tired of this advert with the Pearl Jams.; October 5, 2018 at 10:33 PM

JM said...: At least Voit got a run in.; October 5, 2018 at 10:35 PM
JM said...: We should be up 7-5. Bedshitters.; October 5, 2018 at 10:36 PM

BernBabyBern said...: Why does coming to New York cause some players to morph into Dave Kingman? I mean, Stanton wasn't exactly Rod Carew in Miami, but he wasn't a 210+K guy either.; October 5, 2018 at 10:38 PM
JM said...: Porcello and Asshole Birdman coming up. Low odds.; October 5, 2018 at 10:39 PM

ranger_lp said...: That was almost a disaster...; October 5, 2018 at 10:42 PM

TheWinWarblist said...: Yes, Triple B. That's exactly what Britton did. A fucking bowling ball slider to Voit.; October 5, 2018 at 10:44 PM
thecontrarian said...: Do I have any more Percocets? Let me check...; October 5, 2018 at 10:44 PM
thecontrarian said...: There will be no Joe Kelly. Cora knows better; October 5, 2018 at 10:45 PM
BernBabyBern said...: John, Jason Giambi did the same thing. He hit .340 one year with Oakland. He comes to NY, within 2 years he's hitting .240 and wearing golden thongs.; October 5, 2018 at 10:45 PM
JM said...: Yep. I remember.; October 5, 2018 at 10:46 PM
thecontrarian said...: The star rooks have a bad case of nerves.; October 5, 2018 at 10:47 PM

JM said...: You said it, APP. Exactly.; October 5, 2018 at 10:59 PM
13bit said...: We have not execute in the clutch for almost 10 years. "Clutch" is the word that does NOT describe this team. It is one of those intangible things that does not appear in binders, although I'm sure someone will point to some strange acronym that purports to represent "clutch," "heart," "guts," "balls" or "money player."; October 5, 2018 at 11:02 PM

thecontrarian said...: You're very right, 13bit. Because we have no one to teach them how to perform in the clutch. Or what to do in clutch time. Make contact. Move runners. You know what I'm talking about. Baseball.; October 5, 2018 at 11:06 PM

JM said...: Fucking Stanton fucking sucks.; October 5, 2018 at 11:12 PM

Hey, how come there's no women on this site? Are we so unattractive?; October 5, 2018 at 11:16 PM
ranger_lp said...: Wasted opportunities...; October 5, 2018 at 11:16 PM
BernBabyBern said...: You know, el Duque's comic "The Wrong Earth" features parallel universes, Alpha and Omega. Just curious ... is there a universe where Stanton doesn't strike out more often than most people blink?; October 5, 2018 at 11:18 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: John M, you are unattractive in ways you will never grok.; October 5, 2018 at 11:19 PM

...and I'm not good with a chisel, so get someone else to write your epitaph.; October 5, 2018 at 11:41 PM

Anonymous said...: I'M BESIDE MYSELF WITH ANGER AND DISGUST....

FOR YEARS, WE WERE OUTHIT AND OUT-"CLUTCHED" BY BOSTON'S CLEANUP HITTER COMPARED TO OUR CLEANUP HITTER.

FOR YEARS, THEY HAD PAPI, AND WE HAD AROD.

BIG MISMATCH IN THE PLAYOFFS.

PAPI WOULD GET CLUTCH HIT AFTER CLUTCH HIT, AS AROD CONTINUED TO SHIT THE BED.

NOW, HERE WE ARE YEARS LATER, AND THEY HAVE JD MARTINEZ, AND WE HAVE THIS STIFF GIANCARLO WHATEVER THE FUCK HIS NAME IS.

ONCE AGAIN, BIG MISMATCH.

IT'S NOT ABOUT THE MONEY, BUT WHEN YOUR CLEANUP HITTER IS MAKING $300 MILLION DOLLARS (LIKE AROD WAS, AND STANTON IS NOW), AND THE BASES ARE LOADED WITH NO OUTS IN A PLAYOFF GAME, YOU WOULD THINK YOU CAN GET SOME KIND OF RETURN ON THE INVESTMENT.

....BUT NOT FROM OUR CLEANUP HITTERS IN THE PLAYOFFS...NOPE.

NOT FOR A LONG TIME.

THINKING ABOUT HOW STANTON HAS ANOTHER 10 YEARS WITH US, MAKES ME WANT TO COMMIT SUICIDE.

AS WE CONTINUED TO GET RUNNERS ON BASE, AND MOUNT OUR COMEBACK, AS THE CROWD BECAME MORE TENSE AND QUIET, I ACTUALLY FELT LIKE WE WERE LEADING, AND BOSTON WAS BEHIND.

THAT WAS UNTIL STANTON STRUCK OUT WITH THE BASES LOADED AND NO OUTS.

RIGHT THEN, I KNEW IT MEANT THE GAME.

AS I FLEW INTO A NEAR RAGE, I EVEN GUARANTEED MYSELF, THAT IF THE GAME WAS CLOSE IN THE 9TH AND HE FACED KIMBREL, HE WOULD HAVE NO SHOT HITTING HIM, AND WOULD STRIKE OUT.

BOY, THAT PREDICTION WAS HARD TO SEE COMING, RIGHT?

I'M A REAL KRESKIN, HUH?

TOMORROW IS A MUST WIN. (FORGET ABOUT COMING HOME WINNING 2 THEN GOING BACK TO BOSTON TO WIN A 3RD STRAIGHT GAME). AIN'T HAPPENING.

WE CAN WIN 2 AT THE STADIUM, BUT IT WILL BE LIKE HOUSTON LAST YEAR. WE WILL FALL SHORT.

WHOLE SEASON IS TOMORROW.

PRODUCTION MATTERS.

CONTACT MATTERS.

MOVING RUNNERS MATTERS.

ESPECIALLY IN THESE GAMES.

Carl J. Weitz said...: I'll never criticize Cashman again if he can convince (accent on con) the Dodgers to trade for Stanton. A minor-leaguer back would suffice and then we can sign Harper who at least makes contact with a baseball often enough befitting someone with talent to be a major-leaguer. Los Angeles really wanted to get Giancarlo before the Yankees snagged him.
