And don't forget the time he hit his manager's housekeeper with a bat! Sure, he SAID it was an accident. But as Jung would tell you, there are no accidents.
Meanwhile, we need a song for today's game. How about this one: "The Minstrel Boy," being played after the Irish Brigade took mass before the third day of Gettysburg?
All right, I know, I know: It was just a movie. And chances are, in 1863, any Catholic priest worth his confessional would've excommunicated anyone who tried to play a folk song as part of a mass.
But still!
The Irish Brigade was made up primarily of New York Irish regiments, including the famous, "Fighting 69th." The Union army tried to attach a regiment of Anglo Massachusetts men to it for awhile, but they wanted out. Fie on them! And on all Boston today!
Off topic, but does anyone think the current management will have enough class to give the Master a day and a plaque in monument park after they fire him at the end of the season?
I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANY BULLSHIT ABOUT REDEPTION ARCS!! TAKE THAT SHIT AND FORCE IN DOWN AND DEEP WHERE IT WON'T EVER SEE LIGHT OR REDUCE OUR ALCOHOL INTAKE!!!
Yeah, very exciting Michael Kay. Tied for the wild card lead - meanwhile the Yankees are only eight games out of first and on the verge of elimination from winning the division.

I made the masthead! Such an honor. I'm flabbergasted.
ReplyDeleteWell, this is looking like the usual Yankee game after a big win
ReplyDeleteThis is when King gets crowned and not in a good sense...
ReplyDeletePlenty of ways left to hurt us.
ReplyDeleteBonehead is an idiot for putting that play on.
ReplyDelete2, 3 and 4 hitters up. What an asshole.
ReplyDeleteThe Master not mincing words: The Yankees failed. They had a runner on third with one out and did not score him. They failed.
ReplyDeleteOff topic, but does anyone think the current management will have enough class to give the Master a day and a plaque in monument park after they fire him at the end of the season?
ReplyDeletePutting that play on with less than 2 out, and as you pointed, Rufus, just stupid.... David Cone was all for it. But....
ReplyDeleteJM, I felt the same way the first and only time my words made the chyron.
ReplyDeleteI miss the urine stain uni's.
ReplyDeleteKinda reminds me of American Graffiti.

Death, taxes and GIDP
ReplyDeleteThere's no such thing as clutch, but there is ICS.
ReplyDeleteCarl, there he is again. Two appearances that I never thought would happen.
ReplyDeleteBut no starts - thank the gods!
This tepid trainwreck is Driven By Jeep ... sigh ...
ReplyDeleteThe Sux are preparing us a gift - will the Yankees take advantage or will they once again turn up (or maybe down) flaccid?
ReplyDeleteGardner can still play a good all-around game. But he shouldn't have had to start so many. Cheap bastards....
ReplyDeleteI really want to love Wagner - if only he wasn’t such a complete National Socialist
ReplyDeleteThe really good news: Stanton can’t hit into a double play
ReplyDeleteHOLY SHOT!!!
ReplyDeleteHE HIT IT OUT OF THE FUCKING PARK!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHoly fucking shit!!!
ReplyDeleteHo ly fuck
ReplyDeleteGot back home in time for this inning. Thank God.
ReplyDelete"Giancarlo, non si può stoparlo! It is a Stantonian home run!"
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteThat was some shot. And at a great moment too. Over the draft kings sign and out into Landsdowne
Weird, I actually thought of this possibility three batters early. But HOLY FUCK!
ReplyDeleteGlass man to asshole fans. STFU!
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteI think he might have actually hit that OVER the lights
One pitch, wasn't it?
ReplyDeleteOK, I was going say bonehead actually put a good play on with Gardner stealing 2 out and Judge up.
ReplyDeleteNow he has Green up in the bullpen.
First pitch, JM
ReplyDeleteWhat? No Chapman?!?!?
ReplyDeleteHells bells. No confidence in Chapman isn't good, at all.
ReplyDeleteMama mia, Giancarlo!
ReplyDeleteNot Overused Green. Even Chapman is a better choice.
ReplyDeleteSuzy Chapstick warming up.
ReplyDeleteChapman is up
ReplyDeleteI guess that Boone wanted Green to be ready in case of Chapman blowing a gasket...
ReplyDeleteI DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANY BULLSHIT ABOUT REDEPTION ARCS!! TAKE THAT SHIT AND FORCE IN DOWN AND DEEP WHERE IT WON'T EVER SEE LIGHT OR REDUCE OUR ALCOHOL INTAKE!!!
ReplyDeleteFUCKERS!!!!!!
Ugh.
ReplyDeleteFuck
ReplyDeleteChapo is consistent.
ReplyDeleteIn raising blood pressure.
Meatball.
ReplyDeleteWho's warming up now????
ReplyDeleteWHAT DID I TELL YOU PEOPLE!?!? WHAT DID I JUST FUCKING TELL YOU ALL!?!?!?!?
ReplyDeleteTake him out.
ReplyDeleteBut he won't.
Oh Hell....
ReplyDeleteChapman is coming through again. Just moments after Kay extols his recent success.
ReplyDeleteWay to go guys.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteBoo hoo, Plawecki.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteExactly Win.
You took the scream right out of my mouth.
The Master: It's not easy. If you've been with the Yankees all year you know it's not easy.
ReplyDeleteReally? You don't say?
How embarrassing it is to have somebody up in the pen when your CLOSER is in??
ReplyDeleteChapman better be ashamed.
And better close the door...
Green is getting up. I'm going to have flashbacks.
ReplyDeleteIglesias goes down singing.
ReplyDeleteFor all the girls I've loved before....
Somebody had to say that
ReplyDeleteSWEAT YOU BASTARD, SWEAT!!!
ReplyDeleteHe's not sweating.
ReplyDeleteBut I am
ReplyDeleteInglesias son is up now
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to Chapman fastball?
ReplyDeleteFer fuck's sake.
ReplyDeleteUrsela nails it.
ReplyDeleteWe win.
The Master: Thuhuhuhuhuhuhh-uhuhuhuhuh-uhuhuhuhhhuuuhhhuuuhhuuu Yankees win.
ReplyDeleteHe was very excired.
That Stanton slam was Reggie-like.
ReplyDeleteIt's like electro-convulsive therapy.
ReplyDeleteWell, Chapman closed the door. Good for him. However, still seeing Green over his shoulder should have him embarrassed.
ReplyDeleteWe're beating the Lemons. In Fenway.
ReplyDeleteWow.
Yeah, very exciting Michael Kay. Tied for the wild card lead - meanwhile the Yankees are only eight games out of first and on the verge of elimination from winning the division.
ReplyDeleteJust great . How to sell sloppy seconds.
Big Sevy get the win and his shredded latissimus dorsi get the game ball.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Sevy can endorse Shredded Wheat.
ReplyDeleteChapman had nothing special... Worried, I am...
ReplyDeleteI need a drink.
ReplyDeleteDamn.
We won tonight for the potential privilege of a one-game playoff just to get into the playoffs.
ReplyDeleteVery exciting.
It only means both the Sux and the Yankees hopes for a division title can be eliminated tonight with a Rays win.
Stanton is fucking everything up!
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteAnd the Yankees front office and (alleged) management will crow about how tough and gritty and determined this team is - they showed a lot of heart.
More of the same shit. And the Rays are lounging 8 games up on the verge of another division title.
Remember when winning the division was the only game in town?
If only I bet on 2 Lucky Luis victories instead of starts, sigh.
ReplyDeleteI remember when winning the world series was the only game in town.
ReplyDeleteGeorge was an asshole, but that was his requirement.
Yuckersley on NESN wailed for 2 innings on how far the Polish catcher's home run would have gone had it not hit the light pole.
ReplyDeleteIt went into the memory hole when glass man hit one forty feet higher as it cleared the light pole.
Yuckersley's one good point: He's not Jerry Remy.
Nor is he Junior Remy The Stabber.
DeleteJM,
ReplyDelete"I need a drink" seems unconnected to the game.
Serial slasher.
ReplyDeleteWhere's the post guys?! Stanton saves the day! Juju is exploding out of the pores of every Yankee right now.
