DickAllen said...: You say that as if it had some meaning.

Remember: it’s the hope that kills you.; September 22, 2021 at 7:18 PM
Platoni said...: Stealing bases, what a novel concept.; September 22, 2021 at 7:35 PM
HoraceClarke67 said...: What an annoying team this is.

Two on, nobody out. The Gleyber hits a little dribbler, but running with the same, dazzling speed that ended the 2018 season, is thrown out at first.

Still, runners at second and third. But then Gio hits a fly so shallow to right that no one can advance, and Higgy flies out to the warning track.

Meanwhile the Mets, having expended every last particle of energy beating us two out of three, are losing up in Boston again.; September 22, 2021 at 8:03 PM
Anonymous said...: Three very loud Texas outs. Kluber isn't fooling anyone with these fat pitches. He hasn't had much since (a) the stick stuff was outlawed and (b) he returned from his injury.; September 22, 2021 at 8:06 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: It is getting to crunch time my 2021 Suckees. You're at 85 wins. You're going to really bear down if you're going to lose all but 1 of your remaining games. I know it is a herculean task, BUT I HAVE FAITH IN YOUR SUCKITUDE.

CAN YOU DO IT? YES YOU CAN!; September 22, 2021 at 8:15 PM
DickAllen said...: I thought: “Well, these two balls weren’t hit hard enough to turn two” - twice in one inning - then Luke hit a slow roller in the hole and, just like that - a 6-4-3.

Is this team apathetic, or just slow and pathetic?

Or all three?; September 22, 2021 at 8:16 PM
DickAllen said...: That had to be one of the most pathetic attempts at a fly ball since Conseco bounced one off his head into the stands.

I thought he was supposed to be a good outfielder?; September 22, 2021 at 8:20 PM
DickAllen said...: I’m watching the game and using the word pathetic again and again.; September 22, 2021 at 8:21 PM
Anonymous said...: Kluber:91 mph without a lot of bite or movement. You can routinely find college pitchers with better stuff.; September 22, 2021 at 8:26 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: All three. Definitely all three.; September 22, 2021 at 8:29 PM
DickAllen said...: I don’t know which is worse: watching this team play baseball or watching Tom Brady hawking Subway.

Nope. Check that. Watching Tom Brady do anything is much much worse. And pitching for Subway? WTF?!?!?!; September 22, 2021 at 8:37 PM
Anonymous said...: Hernandez's double: that's a single for every starting Yankee except Gardner.

Hernandez scoring from second on that single to left: impossible for every starting Yankee except Gardner.

That's a Cashman squad for you: devoid of youth and athleticism. An aging bunch of yesterday's "names" lumbering around the field waiting to cash their next paycheck.; September 22, 2021 at 8:41 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: AB what you say is true. The Yankees have terrible base running. Gio is the second worst runner in baseball. I think they said ICS is the worst?; September 22, 2021 at 8:52 PM
Anonymous said...: HC 67-- You were responding to a comment on baserunning from A, not AB. Oops.; September 22, 2021 at 8:54 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: I cannot remember the context or what stat was used or which broadcaster said it. And I'm failing to google it. BBRef and FG are mocking me and my inept search skills.; September 22, 2021 at 8:55 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: They can't even beat the Rangers? Haven't been watching and just looked at the box.

I'm glad I haven't been watching.

Revive the "Steinbrenner sucks!" chants please.; September 22, 2021 at 8:56 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: And there ya go. Gio scores from first on a double. Of course he ran through Nevins stop sign, but what of it.; September 22, 2021 at 8:56 PM
Anonymous said...: He scored from first on a double only because of a botched relay.; September 22, 2021 at 9:01 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: Hey! Blind, slow of foot squirrel and all that!; September 22, 2021 at 9:06 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: Rangers are having a rather Yankeesesque inning.; September 22, 2021 at 9:25 PM
Platoni said...: Terrible at-bat by Glaybah. Not that I'm surprised.; September 22, 2021 at 9:27 PM
Platoni said...: Terrible at-bat by Urshela. Not that I'm surprised.; September 22, 2021 at 9:28 PM
JM said...: Holmes is good. Now we need a catcher named Watson.

This ump is calling outside pitches strikes. For both sides, at least.; September 22, 2021 at 9:36 PM
JM said...: Nice job by Higgy.

Now we'll honor America by playing a song.; September 22, 2021 at 9:37 PM
13bit said...: Dick, you are correct, it's the HOPE that kills you and, as we know, "hope is the thing with feathers."

Ergo, feathers will kill you. And you know what has feathers? That's right - Blue jays, flying around your yard.

We are the large dog turd rolling slowly down the hill, picking up tiny pebbles and bits of sticks as it rolls.

Onward, inexorably, rolling downward to the last day of the season.

The worst thing that could happen would be for us to make the wild card.; September 22, 2021 at 9:38 PM
JM said...: The only bit of semi-optimism I have left is the fact that this team is incredibly streaky. So if we go on a tear, anything could happen.

I doubt it will, but it could. Theoretically. With fairy dust.; September 22, 2021 at 9:47 PM
JM said...: Wade.; September 22, 2021 at 9:47 PM
JM said...: Wade II.; September 22, 2021 at 9:48 PM
JM said...: He better steal home. DJ looked terrible.; September 22, 2021 at 9:50 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: Can Wade steal home? Because we are not going to drive him in.; September 22, 2021 at 9:50 PM
Platoni said...: Terrible at-bat by LeMahouieu. Not that I'm surprised.; September 22, 2021 at 9:51 PM
JM said...: RedSox wearing the ugliest of all City Connect outfits. Jesus, Mary and Josephine.; September 22, 2021 at 9:57 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: Green is in. He certainly is.; September 22, 2021 at 10:00 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: Josephine had a great ass.; September 22, 2021 at 10:01 PM
JM said...: I'm laughing,Win.; September 22, 2021 at 10:09 PM
Anonymous said...: Chapman up. If the Yanks don't score here, what are the odds that Chapo will cough up the game?; September 22, 2021 at 10:11 PM
Leinstery said...: Hey look at that, Gley Igawa got more than a meaningless single.; September 22, 2021 at 10:15 PM
ranger_lp said...: WTF Gary!!!; September 22, 2021 at 10:18 PM
JM said...: Bury em in the bottom of the eighth.; September 22, 2021 at 10:19 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: I believe in these my, no our 2021 Suckees. They will go on a streak. I know they can. They will run the table and lose every remaining game. They will get their 86 wins!; September 22, 2021 at 10:30 PM
HoraceClarke67 said...: Well, a win is a win. Now, all they need is 9 in a row, with the first 6 on the road. Easy, peasy...

I guess 6-3 MIGHT do it. But what is the point? To grab that play-in spot that will lead nowhere?; September 22, 2021 at 11:56 PM
DickAllen said...: You do do know, all of you (and I include myself in this) that one way or another, we are going to get fucked. Totally, royally fucked.

It will look like DJ on that dink of a hit that landed ten feet fair while he was standing in foul territory wondering which way was up.

The Yankees will give us all a tantalizing sniff of the biscuit, then demure and leave us with a serious case of blue balls. I can’t prove it, I just know it’s eventually gonna happen.; September 23, 2021 at 12:08 AM
DickAllen said...: Wow. Bosch. I didn’t know kd lang was Canadian. I always thought she was a lesbian.; September 23, 2021 at 12:10 AM
