ZacharyA said...: They haven't said so explicitly, but it's pretty clear to me that Gary is now a part-time catcher with this team and will be so in October (if they make it that far).

Looks like the postseason alignment would be:

Cole - Higashioka
Montgomery - Sanchez
Kluber - Higashioka
Cortes - Sanchez; September 30, 2021 at 4:42 PM
HoraceClarke67 said...: Great stuff!

But I think a better song would be:

"A few more hours
That's all the time we've got
Just a few more hours
Before we're really shot."; September 30, 2021 at 5:09 PM
mik said...: JERRY: (Singing) Camera, curtains, lights - This is it, we'll hit the
heights - Oh what heights we'll hit - On with the show this is it!

ELAINE: You know, it is so sad, all your knowledge of high culture comes
from bugs bunny cartoons.; September 30, 2021 at 5:26 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: It's bluejay season!
It's DEVIL ray season!

oooooh, you wascally wabbit!; September 30, 2021 at 5:33 PM
JM said...: I'll be getting some "culcha" at a dance performance tonight with my sis.

Please excoriate Boone for me when he inevitably does something stupid.; September 30, 2021 at 6:26 PM
Doug K. said...: Great clip! I love that song.

If tonight's game becomes too painful there's always this...

or if you prefer...

and if it gets really bad...

Doug K.; September 30, 2021 at 7:05 PM
13bit said...: Remember, all: nothing is important.; September 30, 2021 at 7:08 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: Strikeout. Getting off to a classic these are "Our 2021 Suckees" start.; September 30, 2021 at 7:11 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: Oh. Oh wait. That's right. Judge can still hit.; September 30, 2021 at 7:15 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: Suzyn is the best: "Isn't it good to see another team hit into a double play?"; September 30, 2021 at 7:24 PM
Platoni said...: It feels like every time I fire up the ol' Gameday, Kluber has allowed another run; September 30, 2021 at 7:48 PM
Pocono Steve said...: I just don't see a 1-2-3 inning left in him today.; September 30, 2021 at 7:58 PM
Carl J. Weitz said...: How did Kluber ever toss a no-hitter this year?
Kluber now looks more like Gruber from McHale's Navy.; September 30, 2021 at 8:02 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: Carl,

Gruber actually got things done.; September 30, 2021 at 8:04 PM
Pocono Steve said...: Stanton's hitting .000 for the rest of the season, isn't he?; September 30, 2021 at 8:12 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: The Yankees are hitting .000 today except for the Judge homer.

I wish I sensed that changing.; September 30, 2021 at 8:14 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: One loud hit is not going to get it done tonight.; September 30, 2021 at 8:40 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: That's the game. Probably the season too. We will not score again this week.; September 30, 2021 at 8:58 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: ALL RIIISSE!!; September 30, 2021 at 9:05 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: What's happening? What is this? What is going on!?; September 30, 2021 at 9:10 PM
Pocono Steve said...: Fuck you, Ray, you short-sleeved, glute-flex-for-the-centerfield-camera asshole.; September 30, 2021 at 9:10 PM
Pocono Steve said...: You look like Barry Gibb's lost grandson.; September 30, 2021 at 9:11 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: He's been taking the Dominican milkshakes. "Bulked up" in the offseason.; September 30, 2021 at 9:12 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: mlb tv feed is stuck in the stupid fucking ad for themselves loop.

I hate those fucking bastards.; September 30, 2021 at 9:19 PM
Pocono Steve said...: Unlike Joe West, I'm not sure this yoyo ump is retiring this year.; September 30, 2021 at 9:31 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: I used to love Sid Fernandez' centerfield camera glute flex. Even Met fans called him Baby Huey.; September 30, 2021 at 9:37 PM
BernBabyBern said...: I'm surprised that Higgy wasn't rung up on that 1-2 pitch that bounced in front of the plate.; September 30, 2021 at 9:38 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: I mean c'mon! Baby had back!; September 30, 2021 at 9:38 PM
ranger_lp said...: Ray looked…well…sort of ordinary…; September 30, 2021 at 9:42 PM
ranger_lp said...: Maybe Ray can win the Sigh Young award...; September 30, 2021 at 9:44 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: Boston just lost to Baltimore. Ha!; September 30, 2021 at 9:46 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: Judge sucks.

He can only hit a home run every other at bat.; September 30, 2021 at 9:48 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: I hope for the carmines to lose every single game until the day I die, then for another hundred years.; September 30, 2021 at 9:49 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: That idiot and his gagle of other idiots are gonna put Green in, aren't they?; September 30, 2021 at 9:50 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: Rufus, I'll drink to that sentiment.; September 30, 2021 at 9:51 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: You're going to need to drink with Green in there.

Cheers!; September 30, 2021 at 9:52 PM
Pocono Steve said...: We need good Green, not the bad one.; September 30, 2021 at 9:53 PM
BernBabyBern said...: Michael Kay just made a Joe Shlabotnik reference!

I imagine all the fans watching who are under 50 immediately started Googling who that was.; September 30, 2021 at 9:55 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: I'm fantasizing about a three team tie for the second wild card.

A guy can dream, can't he?; September 30, 2021 at 9:55 PM
Anonymous said...: Why is Chad Green in?; September 30, 2021 at 9:56 PM
DickAllen said...: Boston sucks - they have a losing record since July 1 - Fuck them and their piss yellow frock coats; September 30, 2021 at 9:56 PM
Anonymous said...: Sevi looked good. King looked good.

Why is he in?

Doug K.; September 30, 2021 at 9:57 PM
Carl J. Weitz said...: Boone should have let Sevy pitch another inning.; September 30, 2021 at 9:58 PM
HoraceClarke67 said...: I remember Joe Shlabotnik. Also Moonbeam McSwine.; September 30, 2021 at 9:59 PM
HoraceClarke67 said...: I agree with the Sevvy move. You don't want to work him too hard, considering the history.

But Green...; September 30, 2021 at 10:00 PM
Pocono Steve said...: He's not going to strike him out, is he?; September 30, 2021 at 10:00 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: Boone should have committed ritual Hari-Kari a couple of years ago.; September 30, 2021 at 10:01 PM
HoraceClarke67 said...: He has to get Dickerson here. This is the season in a batter.; September 30, 2021 at 10:01 PM
HoraceClarke67 said...: All right.; September 30, 2021 at 10:02 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: We still have to endure El Chapo in the ninth.

Unless the Yankees score 5 the next half inning.; September 30, 2021 at 10:03 PM
HoraceClarke67 said...: They keep going on about how good Green looks. I don't like it.; September 30, 2021 at 10:03 PM
HoraceClarke67 said...: Higgy!; September 30, 2021 at 10:09 PM
HoraceClarke67 said...: And yet, the true test awaits: Trial by Sweat.; September 30, 2021 at 10:10 PM
HoraceClarke67 said...: "Sanchez, afforded a miraculous second chance...struck out."

Sigh.; September 30, 2021 at 10:15 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: Three more and we might not see El Chapo.; September 30, 2021 at 10:17 PM
Kevin said...: Old Useless Man hits one out! How do ya like.....that?; September 30, 2021 at 10:19 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: Tequila for everyone!; September 30, 2021 at 10:26 PM
HoraceClarke67 said...: 8-9-1. That's all he has to do. 8-9-1, to protect a 4-run lead. And he walks the first hitter.; September 30, 2021 at 10:27 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: They need two runners on for that patented game ending triple play.; September 30, 2021 at 10:28 PM

Doug K.; September 30, 2021 at 10:29 PM
HoraceClarke67 said...: Okay, struck out Breyvic Valera. Fine.; September 30, 2021 at 10:29 PM

HoraceClarke67 said...: Throwing 88-mph splitters. Terrific.; September 30, 2021 at 10:30 PM
HoraceClarke67 said...: And all over the plate.; September 30, 2021 at 10:30 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: Higgy just caught two ICS passed balls.; September 30, 2021 at 10:31 PM
HoraceClarke67 said...: He really cannot throw 100 anymore.; September 30, 2021 at 10:31 PM
HoraceClarke67 said...: "The most agonizing 20 minutes in sports"—watching this guy try to close a game.; September 30, 2021 at 10:32 PM
Anonymous said...: I really don't like Chapman.

Doug K.; September 30, 2021 at 10:33 PM
HoraceClarke67 said...: Oh, hurrah: it was Chapo's 1,000th strike out. He can put the baseball on the mantle next to his 1,000th expended shell.; September 30, 2021 at 10:33 PM
Anonymous said...: "The most agonizing 20 minutes in sports"—watching this guy try to close a game."

This!

Doug K.; September 30, 2021 at 10:34 PM
HoraceClarke67 said...: The whole Yankee infield on the mound, whispering to Aroldis behind their gloves: "Stop being an asshole."; September 30, 2021 at 10:34 PM
HoraceClarke67 said...: Throwing an 87-mph splitter to Semien, outside the strike zone. You think he's going to bite on that?; September 30, 2021 at 10:35 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: Thankfully the BJs are swinging at balls way out of the zone.; September 30, 2021 at 10:35 PM
HoraceClarke67 said...: 3-2. I'm too old for this.; September 30, 2021 at 10:36 PM
HoraceClarke67 said...: That weird sort of cutter he seems to have is fooling them. For now.; September 30, 2021 at 10:37 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: Chapo isn't sweating buckets. Is there something wrong with him?; September 30, 2021 at 10:37 PM

TheWinWarblist said...: Flopsweat is exhausting.; September 30, 2021 at 10:38 PM
Anonymous said...: cool. I'll take it.

Doug K.; September 30, 2021 at 10:38 PM
Pocono Steve said...: FUCK YES MOTHERFUCKER!! But, also, it's the hope that kills you.; September 30, 2021 at 10:38 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: If it wasn't for Gardner still around since 2009, the only Yankees with World Series wins would be the fucking ex-cubs. That is pathetic.; September 30, 2021 at 10:41 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: I will leave you all with this. The Giants have 104 wins and the Dodgers have 102 wins.

Our 2021 Suckees do not have 100 wins, nowhere close.; September 30, 2021 at 10:44 PM
Pocono Steve said...: True, Winnie, but one of them will have to play the Bud Selig game, and wouldn't it be funny and just if they were to lose?; September 30, 2021 at 10:50 PM
JM said...: The Giants and Dodgers play most of their games against the schmucks in their division. The good teams there are the Giants and the Dodgers.

The Yankees have Tampa, Toronto and Boston to deal with. Makes a difference.

They look better than us, granted. But the win count is a little misleading.; September 30, 2021 at 11:03 PM
DickAllen said...: A Giants Dodgers series would be super to watch.; September 30, 2021 at 11:04 PM
HoraceClarke67 said...: Nah. I want the Dodgers to lose that play-in game. You let them into a longer series, and it's hard to see anyone beating their pitching.; September 30, 2021 at 11:16 PM
JM said...: Forgot San Diego. Ok, it's not a pushover division. Sorry.; October 1, 2021 at 10:55 AM
