Who's that pitching? He looks familiar.

TheWinWarblist said...

Oh look, we are losing. Because Tallion is not a good major leaguer.

DickAllen said...


That guy pitching for the A’s would look awfully good in pinstripes. I wonder what it would take to acquire a guy like that?

Wezil1 said...

That’s Sonny…… well , indirectly…

TheWinWarblist said...

We no longer spake of "The Sunny."

Wezil1 said...

No- now we speak of….
Buddy Hackett! Wow … and I guess there is a little of that going on…
when you awoke this morning, did you think you would hear that name this day?

TheWinWarblist said...

Oooohhh look. Wandy still sucks.

TheWinWarblist said...

Wez, you okay? Seems like you're having a seizure?

Here is the chief value of Wandy Peralta: he's a mediocrity, pushing thirty, who has kicked around several other MLB teams for at least four years--that's Cashman's gold standard. There are probably at least a half dozen pitchers in the Yankee farm system who can throw better than this guy. But they're young, with an upside potential not washed-up discards with only a downside potential: the latter are what you need to win a pennant and a World Series, and plenty of them, including this year's model like Odor and homegrown specimens like Gardner. Do we have that about right, Brian?

Buddy Hackett--along with Sterling's array of fifties and sixties cultural references into which he wedges off-handed mumbled details of the on-the-field activities. And the Yankees wonder why they can't attract a younger fan demo.

Anon, now you're getting the hang of IIH. Brava.

Luetge makes me sad, angry and ashamed.

Beauregard Jackson Pickett Burnside said...

John just said “here’s the hot hitter for the Yanks, Gary Sanchez”. I almost fell out of my chair.

Beauregard Jackson Pickett Burnside said...

And he just got a little colder. Cold cold ice cream sandwich.

TheWinWarblist said...

Those were cheers we were hearing as Big ICS strode to the plate. And they didn't sound sarcastic.

What I posted above about Peralta? Just copy and paste for Luetge, with a couple of minor factual adjustments (such as Luetge is even older).

Every time a batter swings and misses, Kay shouts, "SWING and a miss!" Is Kay aware that he's doing TV? That the viewer can actually see what's going on? That he's not doing radio anymore? That people might not be as enamored of the nonstop sound of his adenoidal greaseball Bronx patois as he is?

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Is there a game on tonight?

I've reverted to childhood.

No puckered hemorrhoid, no game on tv. reception sucks, so just read the box scores.

Is Celerino playing third tonight?


God it would be nice to have an actual Steinbrenner owning the team.

TheWinWarblist said...

Well, that was a tidy and pathetic package all neatly wrapped up with the Yankees' anemic offense. Fun fact: Only the Tigers have scored fewer runs than the Yankees.

Hey Girly Man Warblist--oh where or where can your severed penis be? I guess you have so much fun watching all those big brawny steroidal ATHLETES swaggering on the field of play--reminds you of the days when you once had a penis as well, I guess!

Warblist, and every one else. Never acknowledge the girl going around as "anon". She needs serious help, but she can take her issues elsewhere.

Warblist, and everyone else: never acknowledge anyone on the blog except the two brilliant, perceptive, sane souls who delight in calling other people "puckered hemorrhoids" for evening amusement. They are your shining path, your champions and exemplars of integrity and compassion and sanity. The "puckered hemorrhoid" claque of senile Rufus and the warped, confused fairy-boy Warblist--that way lies truth and virtue.

Just had to lose to a guy from OUR farm system

The keepers of the blog need to block the troll who has longed ceased to amuse. If it's a question of money.....

Hey boys, settled down or you will be sent to timeout .

On an entirely different note, when the Yanks do bad, which should be the rest of this weekend, You may want to peruse the Sports Kibble website. It does really good bullet reviews of all the Yanks MILB games each day. With the minor league teams doing so well, it serves as a beacon of light to us downtrodden.
Let the cascade of how Cashman will ruin these fine young men commence.
