The Yankees are tied with Tampa Bay for best ERA in the AL, tied with Houston for second in ERA+, and third in the AL in FIP. Despite that, they are 5th in runs allowed/game.
AND 9th IN RUNS SCORED/GAME. They are not good. The sucking flows strong in these our 2021 Suckees.
Gardner, who really should retire, is never going to be a 3 to 5 WAR a year player anymore. that is obvious, but he still has a positive bWAR, 1.0, for this year. He might maybe could kinda be a 5th outfielder next year?
No. No. Nope! NOOOOOO!! I've lost my fucking mind.
Suzyn just asked this but I gotta ask it too, given my fucking limited - proven and professed - lack of goddamn baseball knowledge: why the fuck do you take out a relief pitcher that just ended an inning in 11 fucking pitches?! Fuck!
A stunning pitching decision. Clay Holmes is a good pitcher. Jolie Rodriguez is not a good pitcher. I'm amazed that Jolie Rodriguez was brought into the 7th inning of a Yankees-Red Sox game with the season on the line. If you go down, you must go down with your best. Jolie Rodriguez is the worst pitcher in the Yankees bullpen.
This is what I was getting at earlier. Pitching numbers look good, but still giving up a lot of runs. I think the defense might not be good. I think it might be bad.
Any time the urine stains are embarrassed is good.
Since the black swan is lurking, I'll quote our own Dick (don't call me Richie) Allen from earlier today:
"And while we’re on the subject, let’s not be rolling around in our joy just yet. This team has done absolutely nothing. They are like a cheating girlfriend who comes by one morning still damp from the night before and fixes your pancakes. Oh joy! She’s come back! ... Remember: it’s the hope that kills you."
When did A-Rod become such a fucking traitor? It's one thing to feign objectivity while hosting a national broadcast, it's quite another to favor the Yankees' opponent. Says A-Rod at the bottom of the 8th, just after STanton's home run: "Let's bear in mind that the Yankee pitchers need to get 6 more outs. Anything can happen."
A-roid was a dick when he played for the Yankees. He was barely tolerable then in the times that he hit, which was not often enough for those ridiculous contracts.
He's just not trying to hide it anymore.
Pocono Steve
"Holmes comes out, but Greene stays in."
It's bonehead anti-logic in the anti universe. Only Dragonflyman knows why.
A-roid was complaining earlier on the stupid ESPN broadcast about Yankees fans booing him while Redsocks fans cheer Ortiz. I dunno, maybe one fan base is a little more principled than the other one? Just a wild guess.
Look at the rest of the schedule for NY, TOR, and BOS. The Yankees are likely to go 2-4 and Toronto and Boston are likely to go 4-2 or 5-1 against the last-place clubs they will be facing.
Pocono Steve, absolutely right. And Joe West shouldn't be allowed to drive a car. He has SUCKED for at least fifteen years. And Wade, who in the HELL taught him how to steal?
Umm, I have noticed that the vitriol for Stanton has eased up a bit since sometime in July. And who did Voit piss off?
Nothing says satisfaction like the second night of a honeymoon [you really need a day to recharge after a Midwest all day and night wedding] and a weekend sweep of the Red Sucks, whether the Yanks will end up blowing or not.[Which based upon logic , returns me to my first point.]
Stanton cleared the wall with a line drive. The Mick would have been proud of that one.
Judge pops his dislocated pinky back in while on second base and refuses to come out. None of these guys need any "resting." Keep playing the same fucking lineup

ReplyDeleteWhat is best in life…
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be terrible. You watch. Watch and behold.
ReplyDeleteDouble play, you say? Yes, double play.
ReplyDeleteThe Yankees are tied with Tampa Bay for best ERA in the AL, tied with Houston for second in ERA+, and third in the AL in FIP. Despite that, they are 5th in runs allowed/game.
ReplyDeleteAND 9th IN RUNS SCORED/GAME. They are not good. The sucking flows strong in these our 2021 Suckees.
Remember. You heard it here first.
ReplyDeleteI miss the urine stains.
ReplyDeleteAt least they have ICS in for his defense.
ReplyDeleteEduardo Rodriguez this season:
ReplyDeletevs Yankees 3.00 ERA
vs everyone else 5.25 ERA
Joe West needs a short break from umpiring. Say two or three centuries.
ReplyDeleteAnd he needs to be tortured for the entire time.
A drunk child could call a better game.
Herr, Herr!
ReplyDeleteMonty pitching a good game. Annnnnd we have no runs.
ReplyDeleteFuckers.
Bases loaded. Nobody out. What do we do to disappoint here?
ReplyDeleteThat's how.
ReplyDeleteGardner, who really should retire, is never going to be a 3 to 5 WAR a year player anymore. that is obvious, but he still has a positive bWAR, 1.0, for this year. He might maybe could kinda be a 5th outfielder next year?
ReplyDeleteNo. No. Nope! NOOOOOO!! I've lost my fucking mind.
"So A-Rod, you were crucified for using steroids, but when Papi tested positive, we didn't hear a peep about it. How do feel about that?"
ReplyDeleteJM, I shall quote from earlier:
ReplyDeleteTheWinWarblist said...
Double play, you say? Yes, double play.
September 26, 2021 at 7:16 PM
Yep.
ReplyDeleteIt was a tainted milkshake. Only available in the DR.
ReplyDeleteDJ plays a nice third.
ReplyDeleteMonty losing it.
ReplyDeleteEverybody knew it except for Boone.
ReplyDeleteHolmes, man.
ReplyDeleteHe got amazingly good.
ReplyDeleteThe Yankees are hanging on like a snot
ReplyDeleteICS swings at three straight lousy pitches. Looked like shit.
ReplyDeleteJM, how could you tell the difference?
ReplyDeleteI'm listening of radio. Did ICS take those swings on one knee?
ReplyDeleteJoe West is an alien.
ReplyDeleteI figured out what species he is:
https://meninblack.fandom.com/wiki/Ballchinian
It would have killed them to leave Holmes in a little longer?
ReplyDeleteThe bad Wanda.
ReplyDeleteWhy bring Joely Rodriguez in... and I mean ever?
ReplyDeleteCora pinch hits, and Boone overreacts.
ReplyDeleteImploding.
ReplyDeleteBoone is an idiot.
ReplyDeleteSooo, The Adverb is stinking up the joint, but who exactly do we go to now?
ReplyDeleteAnd we called Girardi "Binders". Bonehead does nothing without the command from the puppeteers.
ReplyDeleteJohn and Suzyn both think Holmes would be out of the inning by now.
ICS can't catch the curve in the dirt, but he can sure bat down the one-hopper from the outfield.
ReplyDeleteNow, to just get him a glove to wear instead of that cinderblock he tries to field with.
Boone didn't take Holmes out. Cora did.
ReplyDeleteSuzyn just asked this but I gotta ask it too, given my fucking limited - proven and professed - lack of goddamn baseball knowledge: why the fuck do you take out a relief pitcher that just ended an inning in 11 fucking pitches?! Fuck!
ReplyDeleteDay off tomorrow. Why not use Holmes for another inning? Because of the meaningless lefty-righty bullshit?
ReplyDeleteWhat a lousy manager. Incredible.
Now poor overused Green.
ReplyDeleteJesus Christ.
That's all it was: lefty-righty bullshit. Cora baited Boone, and Boone fell for it.
ReplyDeleteCalled out on the outside pitch.
ReplyDeleteJoe West is retiring, but he's at least one year late.
DJ blows one. Wow.
ReplyDeleteAnalytics Aaron always makes the right move, for the other team.
ReplyDeleteA stunning pitching decision. Clay Holmes is a good pitcher. Jolie Rodriguez is not a good pitcher. I'm amazed that Jolie Rodriguez was brought into the 7th inning of a Yankees-Red Sox game with the season on the line. If you go down, you must go down with your best. Jolie Rodriguez is the worst pitcher in the Yankees bullpen.
ReplyDeleteYou know what that dropped ball means, right? RIGHT?
ReplyDeleteAnd there it fucking is!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fucking mess
ReplyDeleteWtf? Gallo dropped it?
ReplyDeleteThe Yankees are back
ReplyDeleteHoly fuck.
ReplyDeleteThis is what I was getting at earlier. Pitching numbers look good, but still giving up a lot of runs. I think the defense might not be good. I think it might be bad.
ReplyDeleteSorry, Wanda. I thought you were pitching before when it was Joely Richardson.
ReplyDeleteThis is unreal ....
ReplyDeleteOnce again, it's not the number of losses that is so frustrating about this team, it's HOW THEY LOSE.
Also, and I think we all agree on this, and I cannot stress this enough, Boone is a fucking idiot.
ReplyDeleteOh, you think that highly of him, do you Win?
ReplyDeleteYou leave Wanda out of this, JM. Wanda still has plenty of time left in the season to fuck up for real.
ReplyDeleteWest is an embarrassment.
ReplyDeleteI'm coming around DickAllen, I'm coming around.
ReplyDeleteWhy not slide?
ReplyDeleteWhy?
Boooooone is a miserable useless cunt.
ReplyDeleteWhat would it cost him to challenge that call?
I think Wade beat the tag anyway. Of course, no challenge.
ReplyDeleteHere it is one of the biggest games of the year and the Yanks are playing like a little league team....FFS....
ReplyDeleteDid Wade really NOT slide? Didn't slide? Really? What a fucking idiot.
ReplyDeleteDid he LEARN THAT FROM BOOOOOOOONE!?!?!
Fuckers!
This team playing like little leaguers should come as a surprise to no one paying attention
ReplyDeleteTee the fuck off on Ovaltino.
ReplyDeleteJudge not looking too good.
ReplyDeleteYankees got one bad fielding play back.
ReplyDeleteThis is like the Bad News Bears vs the Bad News Bears II.
ReplyDeleteQuite a few urine stained uniforms in the stands. They'll all meet at Playland after the game.
ReplyDeleteWest blows another.
ReplyDeleteJudge!!!
ReplyDeleteUnfucking believable...
ReplyDeleteI love John, but I swear he called Judge out 3 or 4 times in that at-bat. Might be time to hang it up.
ReplyDeleteWhat a bizarre fucking game...
ReplyDeleteJoe Fucking West.
ReplyDeleteHow about a FUCK YEAH!
ReplyDeleteWest just blows.
ReplyDeleteJudge takes advantage.
Ottovino was a made man Yankee until he spit the bit, then turned traitor. He deserves it and whatever other humiliation is to come.
What is happening? What is this? Cut it out! I will never let you hurt me again!
ReplyDeleteI should've changed that stupid lock! I should've made you leave your key!!
Just a pinkie,
ReplyDeleteAt least it's not an oblique strain (for the next 18 months).
Holy fuck!!!!
ReplyDeleteHoly fucking shit again!!!
ReplyDeleteFUCK YEAH AGAIN!!!
ReplyDeleteIF I THOUGHT FOR JUST ONE MINUTE YOU"D BE BACK TO BOTHER ME!!!
ReplyDeleteStantonian.
ReplyDeleteWait. What?
ReplyDeleteHOLY CRAP A-MIGHTY.
Who is that man and what did they do with Stanton?
FUCK YOU, OVALTINO!!
ReplyDeleteSo many long faces in the stands. It brings joy to my heart
ReplyDeleteDouble O hits Rizzo. That's real Boston class there.
ReplyDeleteGallo deserved that plunking.
ReplyDeleteWhy is Ottavino still in there?
ReplyDeleteOh. He's gone.
ReplyDeleteNY Otto showed up again...LOL
ReplyDeleteThis has been a bizarre game, that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteStanton has has a weekend, hasn't he?
Welcome to Bowie's Glass Yankee tour.
ReplyDeleteStanton has had a Reggie worthy weekend. Maybe better.
ReplyDeleteAny time the urine stains are embarrassed is good.
ReplyDeleteSince the black swan is lurking, I'll quote our own Dick (don't call me Richie) Allen from earlier today:

September 26, 2021 at 9:53 AM
These Yankees are still sloppy damp.
The Old Yankees saved the damp slop for us in the Canyon of Heroes. What the fuck is wrong with the 2021 Suckees?
ReplyDeleteThank you Rufus.
ReplyDeleteWhat’s that puddle on the floor?
It’s Dalbec wimping out on yet another foul ball that allowed Judge to stay alive. He wet his pants once again.
Thanks little Bobby.
Imploding again.
ReplyDeleteHolmes comes out, but Greene stays in. Gotcha.
ReplyDeleteDalbec with the Golden Sombrero.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteWhen did A-Rod become such a fucking traitor? It's one thing to feign objectivity while hosting a national broadcast, it's quite another to favor the Yankees' opponent. Says A-Rod at the bottom of the 8th, just after STanton's home run: "Let's bear in mind that the Yankee pitchers need to get 6 more outs. Anything can happen."
What is his objective in saying that?
What a friggin' dick.
Forget it, Steve. It's Boonietown.
ReplyDeleteLBJ,
ReplyDeleteA-roid was a dick when he played for the Yankees. He was barely tolerable then in the times that he hit, which was not often enough for those ridiculous contracts.
He's just not trying to hide it anymore.

ReplyDeleteEven with a 3 run lead, Wade just gotta get thrown out twice.
ReplyDeleteOh, also: Fuck Arod.
ReplyDeleteTy, Ty, Ty. Tsk tsk.
ReplyDeleteHere comes sweatball.
ReplyDeleteAlex Verdugo: A Portrait of Santa Claus as a Young Man.
ReplyDeleteWhat? A ball?
ReplyDeleteWest has cataracts or something.
ReplyDeleteThat was an incredible missed call.
ReplyDeleteBiting nails. A walk.
ReplyDeleteWest does that shit intentionally, his vision is said to better than a Golden eagle. He's just a giant fat fuckface dick.
ReplyDeleteGo FlopSweat Go!
ReplyDeleteTa da.
ReplyDeleteSweep, baby.
ReplyDeleteThe Master is happy. I fell like a battered intimate partner who was taken out for ice cream.
ReplyDeleteWinnie, you have too high of an opinion of Joe West.
ReplyDeleteEveryone knows the fans go to the game because he's umpiring.
Okay, I have nothing further to add tonight. I can only screw stuff up at this point. G'night all.
ReplyDeleteTyler Wade, the cornerstone of every championship club. In spite of his speed... And in spite of Boone's best efforts to lose the game... We won.
ReplyDeleteTop performer of the game for the Yanks? Joe West.
ReplyDeleteSCHWEEEEEEEEP!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAfter the LeMahieu and Gallo business? We had no right to win this game.
ReplyDeleteLook at the rest of the schedule for NY, TOR, and BOS. The Yankees are likely to go 2-4 and Toronto and Boston are likely to go 4-2 or 5-1 against the last-place clubs they will be facing.
ReplyDeleteToronto is stumbling and Tampa is resting up for the WS run. We could do fine.
ReplyDeletePocono Steve, absolutely right. And Joe West shouldn't be allowed to drive a car. He has SUCKED for at least fifteen years. And Wade, who in the HELL taught him how to steal?
ReplyDeleteUmm, I have noticed that the vitriol for Stanton has eased up a bit since sometime in July. And who did Voit piss off?
Nothing says satisfaction like the second night of a honeymoon [you really need a day to recharge after a Midwest all day and night wedding]
ReplyDeleteand a weekend sweep of the Red Sucks, whether the Yanks will end up blowing or not.[Which based upon logic , returns me to my first point.]

Stanton cleared the wall with a line drive. The Mick would have been proud of that one.
