Well done sir!

DickAllen said...


Happy Birthday Boss!

You were born for this!

TheWinWarblist said...

Criminy.

TheWinWarblist said...

I'm in section 109. Jose Trevino is being showered with love. The grounds crew is prepping the infield. I hope Altuve dies of the clap while rounding 2nd base.

AboveAverage said...

I nearly did once a long time ago when I rounded second. No wait....I just pulverized my wrist so I couldn't clap until about 10 weeks after the surgery. Nevermind

Carl J. Weitz said...

A most Happy Birthday, Hart. But should they option you to Scranton, keep in mind that you have many options remaining before they contemplate DFA-ing you.

TheWinWarblist said...

AA? 🤦

AboveAverage said...

Yes, Winny?

Carl J. Weitz said...

Unfortunately, they have full spectrum antibiotics for the clap in 2022 so he won't suffer the same fate as Al Capone.

TheWinWarblist said...

I cannot, I just cannot and shannot and willnnot.

AboveAverage said...

it was indeed a baseball accident...

Doug K. said...

I like Tallion even more now. Hitting Altuve with the first pitch!

AboveAverage said...

is it better to Hit Altuve or for Altuve to Hit. Such complex questions in the game of baseball . . .

AboveAverage said...

Carlos and Cone in the booth

Doug K. said...

Uh perhaps I spoke too soon

JM said...

Bergman hits the homer and Taillon looks at the pitch gizmo in his hat like it fucked up, not him.

JM said...

Nestor, not a great start, Monty, not a great start, now Jameson 30 year old, not a great start.

I hate that stupid Dave's Bread commercial. Annoying as hell.

BTR999 said...

Embarrassing start, but not unexpected

JM said...

Didn't Valdez used to advertise Columbian coffee?

AboveAverage said...

Yes - JM - at Juan time they did. . . .

JM said...

Gianny!!!

AboveAverage said...

STANtonian!!!!

JM said...

I see what you did there, AA

Doug K. said...

Stanton!!!!! brav fucking o!

JM said...

Juan

JM said...

Beltran keeps talking about heaters and peachers....I'm not familiar with those.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Winnie,

I have the two seat pair for old timers day in section 109.

And I have come to despise Costas, despite his Mickey Mantle rookie card.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

I'll take Maybin, but Beltran doesn't do it for me.

Doug K. said...

Rufus

I agree. Maybin maybe. Not Beltran.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Best there is nothing like the Master and Wailing Suzyn!

Rufus T. Firefly said...

But, not Best. Even thought the Master is the Best.

TheWinWarblist said...

At the game tonight, watching Gallo strike out in person. He is so fucking awful.

AboveAverage said...

my posts are being removed - dunno why

Rufus T. Firefly said...

AA,

The interwebs can be frustrating.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Costas (along with Kaat) is actually making a good point about Pete Rose.

Fuck another home run.

JM said...

Where are Costas and Kaat?

ranger_lp said...

Taillon looks awful

JM said...

He does.

TheWinWarblist said...

This is disgusting.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

My comment just got deleted also.

"Costas and Kaat are on MLB network. If I listen to the Master it is way delayed."

TheWinWarblist said...

Even the outs are hard hit. Please let the rains come.

JM said...

Thanks, Rufus.

I guess Taillon is still in because he has great stuff. Or something.

TheWinWarblist said...

Gallo is so bad. So very very bad.

AboveAverage said...

He Twitches - He Misses

Rufus T. Firefly said...

WTF?

ranger_lp said...

Great AB by Rizzo…

Rufus T. Firefly said...

If he wasn't before, Rizzo's a made man now.

Doug K. said...

The knicks just drafted another frenchman wtf is wrong with them?

Carl J. Weitz said...

What.. you don't like Frédéric Weiss, Jr?

JM said...

There were no Lichtensteiners available.

JM said...

Luetge looks like a peaky blinder with the mustache.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

or Maldovans....

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Lugnut did his job.

JM said...

I used to work across the street from the Maldovan mission to the UN's building. A sad, dingy, four story brick building with drawn, dirty shades on the upstairs floors. The main floor had grubby shears on the windows. Never saw anyone going in or out.

JM said...

You're fucking kidding me!!! Hicks!!!!!!

ranger_lp said...

Hicks!!!

JM said...

Tie game bottom of the ninth! Holy shit!

Rufus T. Firefly said...

I guess don't release Hicks just yet...

JM said...

Whoa.

JM said...

I'm stunned.

Hinkey Haines said...

Aaron Hicks says Happy Birthday, El Duque.

BernBabyBern said...

OK, that was a big HR for Hicks. But he's played waaaay too shitty this season to pimp it that much. ... He's definitely getting a fastball right between the shoulder blades next game.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

He was way safe.

TheWinWarblist said...

Well things have gotten awful exciting.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Oh, my.

Relying on twitch.

JM said...

Gallo due up, new pitcher. Who's available to pinch hit?

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Higgy...

ranger_lp said...

Carpenter Donaldson Higgy Gonzalez

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Just kidding. Carpenter also.

JM said...

Gallo. Feel the breeze.

TheWinWarblist said...

But Gallo is still wretched.

ranger_lp said...

Pathetic…

JM said...

Kay talking like the critics of Hicks have to shut up now. One at bat, fat boy.

BernBabyBern said...

Remember when they put nicknames on the back of jerseys for a game? If they do that this year, "Swing and a miss!" should be on Gallo's back.

BernBabyBern said...

Gallo is a human air conditioner. Feel the breeze.

JM said...

Judge up. This is a Mantle moment.

JM said...

Judge!!!!!!!

ranger_lp said...

Yankees Win!!!

JM said...

Fucking guy is a new Mantle,vif only for a year.

TheWinWarblist said...

Thuhuihuhuh asahhhhh-aaahhhhhUHUUIHUHUHUHUHUH YANKEES WIN !!!!!!

JM said...

THAT was a big Yankees win.

TheWinWarblist said...

MVP MVP MVP MVP MVP MVP MVP MVP MVP MVP MVP MVP MVP MVP MVP MVP MVP MVP

TheWinWarblist said...

Every Yankee win is a big Yankee win, but that was huge. MVP MVP MVP MVP MVP MVP MVP MVP MVP MVP MVP MVP

ranger_lp said...

Take that arbitration guy….!

BernBabyBern said...

How Aaron Judge's post-game interview should go:

"This is all about the team! Every night, it's a different hero coming through for us. We all believe in each other! ... Well, except for Gallo. He sucks."

JM said...

Lol

JM said...

Pay the man, Hal. Pay him.

JM said...

The bad thing about that finish is that Castro got the win.

BernBabyBern said...

The first words out of Judge's mouth at the arbitration hearing should be. "Hey, you see last night's game? Pretty exciting, huh?"

BTR999 said...

Judge did it with a blast from nostril (Psalm 18:15)

ranger_lp said...

Nostril-damus prediction...

BernBabyBern said...

Jack Curry: The Yankees sent 8 betters to the plate in the ninth inning. Seven of them reached base because all 7 of them had quality at-bats."

And then there was Gallo. 3 pitches, 3 strikes, sit down. Ugh. He's responsible for more cool breezes than freon.

ranger_lp said...

From another board...

the Knicks are like joey Gallo at bats

BernBabyBern said...

And, oh year ... Happy Birthday, el Duque!

Doug K. said...

Wow!!!!!!!!!

BernBabyBern said...

Just to clarify: Of course Curry only said the first part. The snide aside about Gallo is my comment about what Curry didn't say.

Carl J. Weitz said...

I still hate Hicks. But I hate Gallows with the intensity off 1000 suns.
.

AboveAverage said...

JUDGE needs IT

Wezil1 said...

That cheating POS Beltran sits there and no one asks him why he isn’t down there with him cheater Astro “teammates”

Hazel Motes said...

With Justin and Ricky, Suzyn talked a blue streak, like a meth addict at a coffee bar, often stepping into and onto the basic play-by-play intervals. With Sterling, she's like a cowed schoolgirl, speaking only when spoken to (as when Sterling ends a sentence with ". . . Suzyn?" and then tersely. I am quite sure that Suzyn furtively hates Sterling and can't wait for him to keel over into his next steakhouse salad.
