Tonight we're turning moderation off during the game. If it turns out well, we'll keep doing it. I can still delete comments that don't belong here; you just won't have to wait to see the new ones. So get out there and play hard and play fair!
So, The Gleyber is out because he jammed his ring finger diving back to first base last night. X-rays were negative, so they say he'll miss only one game.
Right.
Too bad about that seeing-eye single against Taillon. But hey, this dynamic lineup will surely make that up.
So about 25 seconds after Michael Kay tells us that Gio Urshela is just as much at home at short as he is at third, he bounces a ball past Jay Bruce at first, for a two-base error.
In fairness, the ball got past our new second sacker, Ragnar Shaggy Breeches, before Gio got it. And it got past Jay Bruce, which is not unusual, as Bruce could not stop your average beachball.
Gee, it seems as if with Gleyber out, we could use a real, back-up infielder in there. You know, like the Thairo guy. Or Tyler Wade. Or Kyle Holder. Or...
We, apparently, had a troll infestation. And I for one do so enjoy the lunacy Mustang must have gone through to curate every single comment as opposed to only allow trusted commenters to post.
How "good" do you think the ump would need to be for the Yankees to not suck? Can we develop a metric for that? Good Umpiring Keeps the Yanks from Blowing and Sucking? GUKYBS. How high a GUKYBS do we need tonight to emerge victorious?
I think a good Yankees team wins even with a horrific GUKYBS. The 1927 Yanks had the all time negative GUKYBS for that era, but were still champs. So there is evidence to back up still win despite the low or negative GUKYBS. I think there's a good post on that on Fangraphs. I'll have to check.
This team will never be confused with the 27 team.
The only worthwhile thing I learned today is that there is an OFFICIAL YANKEES MAYONNAISE!
I don’t know what it’s called though, but through this mess I thought about greasing up the monkey with it. It might have relieved my frustrations about NOBODY HITTING WORTH A SHIT!
Sorry, what happened? Just woke up on my couch, covered in drool...
I kid. I turned that mother off hours ago.
It's not simply the incompetence which this team displays. It's also the sheer, all-around lack of energy and spark. They all look like they've just awoken from a bad dream. Which, I guess they kind of have:
"Why the hell are we playing in Dunedin? All right, it's still better than the Tampa Dome..."
Having Torres at shortstop twists this team into some that Maurice Escher would have drawn up. The Yankees simply don't have the players who can are versatile, and also good. And the starters need to get the adhesions to break lose and see what they can do. Hal is the root cause of this monstrous creation, he needs to become more flexible.
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.

Rudy Giuliani is a cunt - he ought to be wearing a Mets cap.
ReplyDeleteAnd how does anyone justify Goober Hicks batting fifth?
Anyone?
Rudy's cap doesn't bother me as much as the ring.
ReplyDeleteHis hat and phone cover up the black goo oozing from his head.
ReplyDeleteSo, The Gleyber is out because he jammed his ring finger diving back to first base last night. X-rays were negative, so they say he'll miss only one game.
ReplyDeleteRight.

This ump is not good.
ReplyDeleteDoug K.
YES Network trivia ... Among players born in the state of New York, what 2 Hall of Famers appeared in the most career games?
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking Lou Gehrig could be one ... he was a New York City guy, right?
I always liked Jamesons, until now.
ReplyDeleteYaz and Biggio the trivia answers. Had no idea Yaz was from New York state.
ReplyDeleteYou just knew something was coming. Anything but a 1-2-3 inning.
ReplyDeleteWhy is this guy still in there?
ReplyDeleteIs anyone managing this team?
Was Boone hoping he’d go five to get credit for the loss?
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't even matter. The lead was insurmountable at 3-0 with this plague of slumping .100 hitters we call a lineup.
ReplyDeleteIs there another game we can all watch? If this game were a bar I'd suggest we go across the street.
ReplyDeleteDoug K.
Where the fuck did they find these pitchers?? What the are they doing? WHY!? WWWHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
ReplyDeleteAND NO I'M NOT A FUCKING ROBOT!!!! (Apologies to ALL CAPS.)
ReplyDeleteWhy did comments need to be modified? I missed a few months.
ReplyDeleteAlso this team sucks.
We, apparently, had a troll infestation. And I for one do so enjoy the lunacy Mustang must have gone through to curate every single comment as opposed to only allow trusted commenters to post.
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah also this team is wretched! Woah such sucking!
ReplyDeleteThis umpire is REALLY bad.

I missed you guys. My nipples explode with delight.
ReplyDeleteJay Bruce might as well be Jack Bruce.
ReplyDeleteGoddammit. Why am I still watching this?

You just can’t predict advertising, Suzyn.
Well said Dick Allen 1964, well said. Mayonnaise.
ReplyDeletePathetic.

ReplyDelete^....into something*
ReplyDeleteI agree, Kevin. I often wonder what these teams do all spring training, before they get so beat up.
ReplyDeleteThis infield lineup is like a Picasso painting. Literally!!
ReplyDeleteThe Archangel
Or maybe Sal Dali. Or those weird Keep On Trucking posters.
ReplyDeleteThe Archangel
I watched the first half inning and knew what the lineup had in store for us. Bupkus. So I moved on the Prime and watched foreign cop shows.
ReplyDeleteOne worrisome thing is DJ lately. He looks pretty lousy at the plate.
Had a couple hits yesterday—but yeah, for once he's sucking in the clutch.
ReplyDeleteStill, he's not the guy we have to worry about.
Pocono Steve.....Jack is much more likely than Jay to get on bass.
