From the infinite cornfields of HoraceClarke66...
Children of the
Corn—time to do your stuff!
We would never presume to advise
you on who you should choose for your dreadful Satanic sacrifices. But if
you’ll notice, Giancarlo Stanton is moving awfully slow these
days.
Just saying.
I think I speak for all of us here at IIHIIFIIC when I say that we’d be quite willing to trade in the whole lot. Just give us James Earl Jones and Burt Lancaster in return.
Hell, we’d even take the Chicago Black Sox. After all, they just wanted to make some decent folding money, and not even Food Stamps Hal approached Charles Comiskey, “the Old Roman,” when it came to being a tightwad.
I know, I know. Their shortstop, Swede Risberg, had an OPS of only .662. But The Gleyber’s OPS is just .679, and supposedly he’s trying to win. Plus the guy’s named Swede! Also they have a Buck, a Shano, a Happy, and a Nemo.
They have an outfielder named Nemo!
Really, we’ll take ’em. We’ll reform ’em. It will be easier than trying to teach the current crop to care.
Oh, and one more thing? We’re trying to arrange a special, pre-game tour of the corn for our general manager, Brian Cashman. Would you look into that, please?
We think he’d fit in real well with your organization.
ReplyDeleteFuck. Right now I'd take the cast of Mayberry RFD. Aunt Bee included.
ReplyDeleteDouble FUCK!!!
Hanky starting tomorrow against Lance Lynn - THAT Lance Lynn? He of the 10-3 2.07 ERA? The same Lance Lynn that once wore pinstripes? What did he do: sell his soul to the devil?
Instead of this being the FOD game, it might turn out to be the CornHole game. As in, the Yankees taking it up the corn hole.
Good news…Stanton has the day off…
ReplyDeleteOne more bad one they'll be loaded up.
ReplyDeleteJudge pops out. Oh, right, there were two men on base!
ReplyDeleteCurrently he's at 100 games, 53 RBI. I realize that he often bats second and the Yanks get few men on base. But this is ridiculous.
Vazquez—another great find.
ReplyDeleteBut hey, Cone said it was a big hop. Can't expect to stop those in the majors.
Boy I hate watching Luetge work.
ReplyDeleteOh, no! Are the Yankees playing AGAIN?!?!?
ReplyDeleteWhy??????
The Yankees injuries are just beyond belief now. How the hell does Gio tweak a gonad—while out with Covid?
ReplyDeleteI don't consider this even faintly a good faith effort to stay able to play.
And yes, they are playing again, Dick.
ReplyDeleteEven though—get this—it's hot out.
Incredible to see how unable the Yankees are to deal with a team—even a bad team—that is alert, fast, and insists on forcing the action.
ReplyDeleteStolen bases, balks, errors. They are completely rattled.
Did Boone think to address this at all in his pre-game meetings?
Dick Lovelady sighting…
ReplyDeleteWhat's his walk-up music? "Lay, Lady, Lay"? "Love to Love You Baby"?
ReplyDeleteAnother out by Gardy trying to stretch it to 3rd, WTH????
ReplyDeleteHeeheeheee, Dick LoveLady in da House!
Lovelady! "And he pitches just like a little girl."
ReplyDeleteBut still got Joey Gallo, of course.
Sadly, Gardy is just not a major-league player anymore.
ReplyDeleteDavid Cone tells us that "The wheels are spinning in the Yankee dugout."
ReplyDeleteSadly, they are not.
Forgot to post the Yankee roster moves today...
ReplyDelete08/11/21 New York Yankees placed RHP Clay Holmes on the 10-day injured list.
08/11/21 New York Yankees recalled RHP Brooks Kriske from Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders.
Clay Holmes is on the COVID list...
And Velazquez over slides the bag. And appears to be injured.
ReplyDeleteThe boy is a wonder.
There are so many guys on the Covid list and then the injuries--Gio, Torres, German, Sevvy. The reason they're having trouble with a tomato can is that this is far from the real team. Scrubs and guys out of position sometimes. Cole, Monty, German out. The first two are coming back soon.
ReplyDeleteWe've been decimated. I can't criticize how they're playing too much. This is a very compromised team.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what this means, but Wade is batting higher than all but two of the current starting nine.
You've got a very good point JM, sheesh!
ReplyDeleteOdor stunk on an easy double play.
ReplyDeletethank the gods that shit show is over
ReplyDeleteBritton gets another double play grounder, this one executed.
ReplyDeleteDickAllen, Carl J, I'm taking 23 wins if it's still open. We're outta tomato cans and have to play contenders now. And these Yankees are not contenders. And apparently they are still having the ridiculous lick as many public toilet seats as possible contest. I also assume, that in addition to COVID, they have all of them caught multiple different types and strains of the clap.
ReplyDelete23 wins. Such fuckers.
Winnie..you and Jack Reed are the only 2 entries so far but I don't think most saw Dick and I discussing it yesterday.
ReplyDeleteCould you announce it again? I said 30 but Dick and I are excluded from winning as we are giving away the 2 cases of beer/Sam Adams-Dogfish potables.
Another move...
ReplyDelete08/11/21 New York Yankees activated RHP Clarke Schmidt.
08/11/21 New York Yankees optioned RHP Clarke Schmidt to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders.
Hey Guys, I'll be generous and predict 25 wins, fuckers INDEED!
ReplyDeleteWhat is this? Number of wins in remaining games?
ReplyDeleteI'll say 32.
JM, the correct # of wins will get the winner two cases of suds (of the alcoholic variety).
ReplyDeleteI'll donate them to charity if I win.
ReplyDeleteLOL. What charity accepts booze?
ReplyDeleteWe just need someone to keep score.
If Duque keeps score( he's good at that) I'll donate a case of Sam Adams product to him. He might need it after the season ends.
ReplyDeleteSince Ken already has 25, I'll go with 24.
ReplyDeleteCarl, we may have to consider logistics: sending several cases of beer through the mail might not only be difficult and expensive, it might even be somewhat illegal (not that I’m against that).
ReplyDeleteAny ideas how we can make the prize deliverable?
Yes, Dick. The winners select a liquor store and we purchase over the phone. Perhaps via gift card.
DeleteOr perhaps at a national chain such as Total Wine.
