And Win, you’re here with the rest of us, so you must have a smidgen, a crumb, dab, dram, driblet, glimmer, hint, lick, a particle, scintilla, a soupçon, spark, maybe a splash, or even a sprinkling, a suspicion, a tad, touch, trace OF HOPE about this team, otherwise…
You’d be watching reruns of The Mary Tyler Moore Show and drinking too much in memory of a wasted life.
BUT YOU’RE NOT. YOU’RE HERE SUFFERING, JUST LIKE THE REST OF US!!!
When I drink alone, I prefer to be by myself. I prefer to be by myself. And I am watching Mary Tyler Moore reruns. I'm streaming them, alone, by myself.
There's a rumor about Jack. If you look at his twitter account he seems to be anti-mask and posted a reference about Florida Covid deaths lower than NY Covid deaths. He also mentioned that they should be going on the road but are staying home because of money. Might have done him in...the latter relates to Judge's instant replay which wouldn't have happened if they were on the road.
If WED turns into a bullpen game, here's what's left (from Fangraphs data)
Britton -- threw 6 pitches in past 3 days
Joely R -- ditto, 6 pitches in 3 days
Ridings -- yeah, in the minors -- 15 pitches in the past week. They sent Gil out already today (8/18) . . . I don't think they can call Ridings back up this soon (?)
Other bullpen guys have thrown in 2 of the past 3 days. Green + Lasagna each have 5.1 innings in the past week, 87 pitches (Chad) and 88. Peralta has 5 innings and 67 pitches in the past week, 23 of which were last night.
Luetge last threw on 8/15. He threw 29 pitches on the 14th and 15th combined.
So when Heaney melts down -- or if this is a planned "bullpen" game -- we are going to see Luetge, Britton, and Joely R. Plus whoever gets called up today.
Also, things could be worse, you could be a genetically challenged Red Sucks fan, which is redundant. Some I know had already staked out their part of the curb for the WS Champs Parade. Of course, being reprobates, they already lived on the curb

ReplyDelete"All Important Loss Column."
Stop it right now!
Ah. The Gil-A-Monster.
ReplyDeleteLuke has some of that Nick Swisher, doesn’t he?

But you would not be alone in drinking your way through this mess of a team

ReplyDeleteNow shuush!
Hustle double? Hustle double!!
ReplyDeleteI'm a bit unnerved by heads-up play from these Yankees.
Wendy made up for Wade's kind of miscue.
ReplyDeleteJudge stole a base.
We're ahead with four outs to go.
The full moon isn't until the 22nd. What's going on with these guys?
Game ain't over yet.
ReplyDeleteWendy's past his sell-by date.
ReplyDeleteJM, really? 8 times already this year and you carry on this way?
ReplyDeleteHurrumph!
That was some throw to first. Wow.
ReplyDeleteAs Mel Brooks said in Blazing Saddles, I didn't get a hurrumph outta that guy.
ReplyDeleteTampa beating Baltimore 8-0.
ReplyDeleteChad throwing: fiddle dee dee!
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteKeep the Maalox nearby. The worst is yet to come.
Hurrumph!
ReplyDeleteWell said, Rufus. Well said.
ReplyDeleteHurrumph, hurrumph, do the hurrumphty dance
Rhubarb!
ReplyDeleteHurrumph, hurrumph!
Friday is DJ bobblehead night. Order your champagne now.
ReplyDeleteFucking A! After all the games they sleepwalked through. They are playing with passion!
ReplyDeleteDoug K.
Ha ha! But we still have the bottom of the 9th, er, I mean 7th, to survive!
ReplyDeleteCome on Chad - make us proud and walk the lead off man
ReplyDeleteWhere the white ladies at?
ReplyDeleteBeau, can we dance wif your dates?
ReplyDeleteSweep!!!
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteA1-2-3 inning. What a disappointment.
I never got to have my peak cardio today.
Yankees win. Thuh-uhh-uuhhh-uuhhh-uhhhhhhhh Yankees win!!!
ReplyDeleteUhuhuhuhUHUHUHUHHUHUHUUHHUHUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWell, then.
ReplyDeleteJM- if we continue this, we’re eventually going to be, um, taken out of context.
ReplyDeletefive Schnitzegrubens is my limit!
ReplyDeleteWe are in second place, by .001 in winning percentage.
ReplyDeleteBeau, that's true. But those were funny movies.
ReplyDeleteRufus, as Madeline Kahn said, what a nice guy.
ReplyDeleteCouldn't be happier for John and Suzyn. They sound like they've found el Dorado.
ReplyDelete[sniff sniff]
ReplyDeleteShut up!!
What happened to Jack “Candy” Moldanado? John has been praising his producer Matt Shortis or Chortis or something like that.
ReplyDeletejust googled it… he’s gone. Possibly related to John’s call of Judge’s instant replay.
ReplyDeleteThere's a rumor about Jack. If you look at his twitter account he seems to be anti-mask and posted a reference about Florida Covid deaths lower than NY Covid deaths.

ReplyDeleteThe Ghost of Horace here:
ReplyDeleteTHEY'RE DOING WITH MIRRORS!
Or rather, great pitching and flashing leather, which seems like mirrors, it's been so long since we've seen it.
I hate to say it, but...This team's got moxie!!!
They probably won't have after "Home Run" Heaney takes the mound. But for now...they have it!
ReplyDeleteIf WED turns into a bullpen game, here's what's left (from Fangraphs data)
Britton -- threw 6 pitches in past 3 days
Joely R -- ditto, 6 pitches in 3 days

Please enjoy this sweep. Let it bring back sweet memories cuz Wed., is going to be a sheet show with Petticoat Junction on the mound.
