This version is just a slower form of torture to watch.
If Yankees don't hit home runs, they don't score.
There is no clutch hitter. Once again, we load the bases and don't score. We get a pitcher " on the hook" and let him off.
We make blunders in the field due to guys that are old and slow, and others playing in their second best position.
We sit a starter every day. Occasionally two of them.
We play a guy in CF who should be hitting golf balls.
Strike outs remain our best certainty.
And we have a terrific bullpen.
I became so convinced yesterday, after about 6 innings of nothing, that we had no chance, I changed channels to watch the 1936 film of " Charge of the Light Brigade."
We won't win a game against Toronto. And the boos have already begun " raining down" on the over-paid, and over-hyped failures.

How was that movie, Alphonso? Flynn did so many like that.
Saw "Gunga Din" last year. About as racist and Anglophilic as you'd expect, but Hollywood then always knew how to tell a story. If you didn't choke on the awful caricatures, I guess you were entertained.
A comment on the Yanks not scoring...
The auxiliary scoreboards are gone at Yankee Stadium. They have been replaced with video boards advertising Pepsi and State Farm.
Rumor has it that in that still to be unsealed letter about the Yankees cheating is that they used those scoreboard to relay signs from the opposing team to the Yanks. Yes, this has been done for decades now (re 1951 Giants/Dodgers playoff game for starters)...so nothing new...but this might end up being more than coincidental. Also, last year and the year before that, they didn't use these scoreboards at all. There might be something to all of this...
Hey, who run that Light Brigade thing?
Too bad. It was always a minor pleasure to hear John describe goings on in the vicinity of "the auxiliary scoreboard." Like his charming "grounds rule double" call.
I anyone out there willing to explain why Donaldson is batting leadoff?
Hicks' hits one.
If he gets hot, it means he's about to get injured.
Cortes having a good outing so far…

I wish it known, as of now, that I am unlikely to leave a thoughtful or rational comment for the foreseeable future. I address the computer to compose a comment, but only profanity issues forth. That's not terribly surprising, I mean c'mon, you all know me, but I used to have some lingering control over my seat of reason. Now all is naught but F-bombs.
I'm just going with it.
THEY ARE FUUUUUUUCKERSS!!!!!!
Minor League Baseball
Good inning for Flop Sweat…
FUUUUUUUCKERSS!!!!!!
Ha!
Warbler, it wouldn't be you, otherwise!
To steal an idea from my brother-in-law, I think we have to pretend that we're watching baseball during wartime.
'Hey, what do you expect? These guys are all 42 with boils and false legs, and the ball is made of cheesecloth."
Once we convince ourselves that this is baseball during wartime, we'll all feel a lot better. Of course, it would help if we were charged something closer to wartime prices.
Cortes is the best pitcher on the Yankees roster.
Nasty might be my favorite Yankee right now.
For 4.1 innings :(
AnonB, I do not mind being called "Archie". I have been called a lot worse
And that was just from my Mom and Dad.
El Duque:
From Mike Fishman to Genius Cashman and through the saw dust in Clueless Hal's head, the home run is the be all. The Yankee team is hitting .222. No Hitgoshioka is what he is is. Cannot hit. Falafa, does not look very good. Barren Hicks, although he had a good game last night, Barren Hicks is a lifetime .236 hitter and Joey K, a lifetime .206 hitter, is the worst. Home run or nothing.
