Is littered with teams
Overcoming larger obstacles
Than this.

DEVIL'S WIND
By A.J. Boone
There were a few balls
That died at the warning track.
We had those three runs
Behind Judgey and Urshy.
Maybe if it's less windy,
Things go more our way.
Yeah, I'm mad as all heck,
You know, But wind is wind.
That's baseball.
7/3/21
I see. The Yankees and Boone are suffering from a bad case of the wind.
ReplyDeletePerhaps today they will avoid the bean dip and cabbage at the clubhouse buffet.
Or, to quote an other bard...
ReplyDelete"Every one knows it's Windy."
and for good measure... HEY HAL! You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows. And believe me, this team blows!
Doug K.
Balls are not only dying on the warning track, balls are also shriveling in the locker room.
ReplyDeleteThe answer my friend is blowin' in the wind
ReplyDeleteClever how the Mets cheated by turning the wind off for their half innings.
ReplyDeleteBoone is a mewling simp.
Is that a bad case of wind or a bad case of breaking wind?
ReplyDeleteI'm preying for sweep by the Muts, that's how fucking LOW I've fallen,,,,,,,
ReplyDeleteDefund the Yanks!
FUCK U HAL!
Hal just came out and supported Cash and Boone -- wind is not something that their beloved Analytics Department can't be expected to be predicted.
ReplyDeleteSavages wilting on the weather vane.
Michael Kay just read an ad for “Full Service Junk Removal.” Could we send them to the Yankees’ dugout (and administrative offices)? Hey – they even got an 800 number!
ReplyDeleteLocastro is in the lineup today...that's a sign of defunding...
ReplyDeleteCole just gave up a home run...another victim of sticky stuff...
Already behind, always behind,,,,, KISS MY BEHIND!
ReplyDeleteWe want Zoilo!
ReplyDeleteWe want Zoilo!
We want Zoilo!
We want Zoilo!
We want Zoilo!
Yesterday attendance was 40,047. Empty seats at the Stadium today also...
ReplyDeleteNow batting for Stephen Drew, Reid Brignac!
ReplyDeleteZelous Wheeler is on deck!
ReplyDeleteHe can't hit, but he's got heart!
Fun fact:
ReplyDeleteZoilo Almonte, Stephen Drew, Reid Brignac, Zelous Wheeler Yankees team batting average = .245
Our anal-ized 2021 Yankees team batting average = .235
They're almost as good as that powerhouse 2014 team. Way to go, HAL!
Did Bonehead actually say "Judgey and Urshy"?
ReplyDeleteHe should be fired just for that.
I love you all.
ReplyDeleteLindor forgot something...
ReplyDelete"Locastro, 29 next month, managed a .367 OBP and a 101 wRC+ in 332 plate appearances from 2019-20. He rarely walks (6.5%) but has a knack for getting hit by pitches. Since 2018, he ranks tenth in hit-by-pitches and 412th in plate appearances. Locastro is very fast (third in average sprint speed) and he gets hit by a lot of pitches. That’s his game."--Mike Axisa
ReplyDeleteHoping for a 1st AB HBP!
Higgy!
ReplyDeleteLoki!
ReplyDeleteYAY, the Yankees are ahead, I'm happy,,,,
ReplyDeleteYAY, the Muts may come back and beat this gawd awful crappy Yankees team, I'd be happy,,,,
You can predict baseball Suzyn, no matter who wins today, I'll be happy!
Still TBD pitching for the Mets tonight. You wanna bet it won’t be a bottle blond?
ReplyDeleteCole struggling...smh
ReplyDeleteTack King Cole on the verge of another "Unforgettable" performance here.
ReplyDeleteThis is not boding well...
ReplyDeleteCole great last inning, terrible this inning.
ReplyDeleteYankees whole year right there.
There’s someone in LF wearing pinstripes. Fuck. If I was Clint, I would be enraged.
ReplyDeleteFuck your Boooooone, Fuck you Brain, and, a special fuck you to Harold.
The more they lose the sooner change will come. Of course, it will be bad change that makes things worse.
ReplyDeleteFuckers.
Holiday confusion: July 4th featured the Yankees' $324 million turkey.
ReplyDeleteWarming up in the bullpen -- Clay Christiansen!
ReplyDeleteThey're also getting a lefty ready -- Wade Blasingame!
ReplyDeleteWe may have a three hour seven inning game...smh
ReplyDeleteYep.
ReplyDeleteChapman ready to come in and...God knows.
Chapman should work on a Folly Floater.
ReplyDeleteHere comes Rolaids…
ReplyDeleteHR. Wow.
ReplyDelete"Chapman cannot believe it!"
ReplyDeleteEveryone else can.
Green threw TWO PITCHES. Why da fuq would you take him out for Chapman, who has been brutal lately??
ReplyDeleteEl Crappo!
ReplyDeleteBern,
ReplyDeleteAnal-it-ics
Been, Kay and Cone said they have to use him to straighten him out.
ReplyDeleteYeah, great idea.
Lugnut coming in.
Bern not Been.
ReplyDeletePaulie: "Yankees are all kinda trouble here."
ReplyDeleteHe was talking about the season.
If we need to pitch Chapman, Lord knows there are enough games when we're losing by 7 or 8 runs to get him some work.
ReplyDeleteRerun of last Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteSame recipe for disaster...blowing the game again in late innings...
ReplyDeleteLuetge is done...put a fork in him too....
ReplyDeleteGood God! You can't make this stuff up....
ReplyDeleteQuestion for the Yankee brain trust -- if you are not sellers at this point what else do you need to see to blow this crap up? Rock bottom apparently has depths to it that we never thought we would be experiencing.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to hear Boone's throat clearing symphony after the game, the most horrific loss of the season!
ReplyDeleteMr Steinbrenner, tear down this team....now...
ReplyDeleteThis is liking watching the National Geographic Channel show on those monks who self-immolate.
ReplyDelete´WE’RE .500! WE’RE .500!
ReplyDeleteOh my lord, I just realized it's a double header and our resident poet brought in Chapman to actually close a one run game. I first thought he was bringing him in to work out his issues. That laughable moron really used him as a fucking closer
ReplyDeleteMy vocabulary has run out of synonyms for the word "suck"
ReplyDeleteThe Wordless Archangel
Can't wait for the ESPN ANALysis on tonight's game.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteGreat point from Ken of Brooklyn about "Boone's throat clearing symphony after the game."
It will be a Throat clearing Cliché-Athon.
Boone after the game:
ReplyDeleteAll the sayings...and whatever...it's really freakin hard right now.
El Chapo just got chosen for the all-star game.
ReplyDeleteTime to retire that made for TV event.
we need a new game thread for the next vomit puddle
ReplyDeleteIs that true, Rufus?
ReplyDeleteYes, BOTH Cole and Chapman,,,,,, probably voted in by the National League players, LOL!
ReplyDeletePrediction: Brett Gardner will be a replacement player when Judge gets injured.
ReplyDeleteI just ran down to the casino to bet the NL in the All-Star game before the odds went through the roof.
ReplyDeleteIf not for Aroldis Chapman, the Yankees would be unbeaten in the Tim Locastro Era.
ReplyDeletenj.com had an article today rating the Yankees at midpoint. Some of the player ratings were questionable, but they rated bonehead and brainless both F's. Should have been F-. They missed the most important one - HAL. I'd give him a Z-.
ReplyDeleteHal = the #ZedVariant
ReplyDeleteIt’s un-fucking-believable that Brain would go down to Goodwill for cheap used goods and Boooone would insert that garbage in left when he has...
ReplyDeleteNever mind. I don’t know why I bother. Everything about this season is a mind blowing shit show. They all deserve each other. I’ve run out of expletives.

Yes, the Zed variant. At least until I learn an alien language like romulan or klingon.
ReplyDeleteFucking Yankees better find a way to lose this one and fire bonehead and brainless.
Taking Cortes out already? If only Boone had as quick of a hook on Chapman.
ReplyDeleteNow let’s see how they manage to fuck this one up.
ReplyDeleteFor a minute I was confused, thinking it was ROY Oswald pitching for the Mutts. Roy should have been coaxed out of retirement to join the Brain’s Triage Staff.
BOONE IS AN ASSHOLE AND A MORON.
ReplyDeleteWay have some faith in Nestor. They deserve to lose. I know they're winning at this moment, but they deserve to lose.
Did Brian phone that in with carrier pigeon or did Booney make that call himself?
ASSHOLES, ONE AND ALL.
SORRY TO USE PROFANITY HERE, PEOPLE. I KNOW YOU HAVE NEVER HEARD ME CURSE BEFORE.
ReplyDeleteI MISS ALL-CAPS, BY THE WAY.
Right ON Bitty, curse away Brother!!!!,,,,,,,,,, and I miss ALLCAPS toooo!
ReplyDeleteWant happened to ALLCAPS? I fear the geezer symptoms overwhelmed him.
ReplyDeleteAnd Mr. Bit:
ReplyDeleteDon't ever fucking using bad damn words here, you know that shit is not allowed!
Carry on.
Fucking-A, Rufus.
ReplyDeleteALLCAPS felt it was getting too "political" one day and split. That's my recollection.
It's been a tough few years for all of us.
That's how I remember it Bitty, too bad, I do miss ALLCAPS
ReplyDeleteShame that prevented baseball talk. I doubt any two people here agree on everything. That's what friends are for. Or acquaintances, as the case may be. I'll never totally agree with anyone here, but we have enough in common to get along pretty well. After all, the byline says:
ReplyDelete"We're not here to heap abuse on each other. We're here to heap abuse on Brian Cashman."
I guess that's one thing we all agree on.
That, and Fuck You, HAL!
I kinda like Green, but I hope he spits the bit and rids us of bondehead and brainless.
ReplyDeleteNo Rolaids win...don't have to pop any after this game...
ReplyDeleteI am angry. I've never been of a temperate disposition; you all have seen it. But I am angry now. If I had a rocket launcher some son of a bitch would die.
ReplyDeleteWinnie, I believe you speak for all of us, every win prolongs the misery,,,,,,
ReplyDeleteAt least the 7 inning games end more quickly.
ReplyDeleteIf I had a rocket launcher I would retaliate.
ReplyDeleteEvery win is just a bridge to the next loss…
ReplyDeleteNo sweep by the Mets on Uncle Sam's and George Steinbrenner's birthday. No sir. These Yankees have some pride.
ReplyDeleteAh, the first win of the Tim Locastro Era.
ReplyDeleteAnd Winnie, nice Bruce Cockburn reference.
Happy Birthday to The Master!
