I go to Chicago for three days, and I come back to find y'all worshipping a %&!@ golden calf!
Alphonso believes.
El Duque and Doug K., while trying to steer the juju gods away from that obvious provocation, start discussing playoff rotations.
The whole lot of you are comparing this team to 1998's version?
All it takes is a piddling, 52-18 start, and you guys are all singing, "Kumbaya"??
LISTEN UP, PEOPLE: This team is NOT making the playoffs.
This is NOT the 1998 New York Yankees, the greatest team whatever was.
This is yet another Brian Cashman fraud, a team short on big-game starters, short on depth, short on guts.
I, for one, hold to my original prediction: 77 wins and out.
Repeat after me:
I believe we will not win
I believe we will not win
I believe we will not win
Got it? Good!
Don't make me come down there and break these tablets!
You see my pic up top? That was—some of them—my family, on the farm they were literally hired out to when their mother died. The weird looking kid on the left with the too-big head was my grandfather, who I never met.
They didn't haul their asses out the Indiana mud, make their way to New York City, and learn about baseball just so a bunch of weak-kneed, lily-livered optimists could wreck the last, best chance for another ring in our lifetimes!
So straighten up, fly right, and remember the words of that great old hymn:
"It was good for the Hebrew children
It was good for the Hebrew children
It was good for the Hebrew children
And it's good enough for me!
Gimme that
OLD-TIME RELIGION
Gimme that
OLD-TIME RELIGION!
Go thou and sin no more!

When will you add that third 6 to your handle?
You may need to - to get these upstart optimists to start listening to you.
OY-Altuve
Any optimism that remained after yesterday's f'ing debacle is gone after just one pitch today, I can assure you.
Nestor has become nasty in a not so good way.
And if any of you somehow have any optimism remaining, may I remind you...
1. Food Stamps Hal still owns this team.
2. Joey Whiffs is still on the roster.
Everything has gone right for this team this season. A major market correction has started, and it probably won't be pretty.
Hoss,
I for one, never compared this squad to 1998.
and what Bern said.
For those of you keeping score at home, it has now been 13 2/3 innings since our last hit.
Preseason conversation among the Juju gods.
"Hey, I've got an idea ... let's make everything go right for a while! The offense will pour in runs. The pitching staff will be lights out. Guys no one has ever heard off will play like Hall of Famers. They'll kick everyone's ass."
"Wait, what fun is that?"
"Well, you see, once fans start thinking this team could be an all-time great, Houston will come to town ... and just wait until you see what I have planned for THAT weekend."
Nestor imploding.
This is really horrible to watch.
Whom the juju gods wish to humiliate they first exalt, or your 2022 New York Yankees
Sad.
Donaldson hitting.150 against righties, but sure, put him in there.
This series exposes all the lousy managing weaknesses of Boone. Just ridiculous.
We're back to our old offensive strategy ... whatever you do, don't swing.
No MLB team has ever been no- hit in consecutive games. Perhaps until today.
Miss strikes HARD
I will say, the title for this post is absolutely spot-on.
Yankee Stadium, where history is made
We got a hit. I feel like I did in 1968, where a hit felt miraculous.
Good for Stanton. He's been having a dry spell.
Yeah, a dry spell like the Sahara desert.
DJ!!!!!!!,
Tie game
MAY U !
THANK U !
Whew
DJ!!!
La la la la
If they can win this all is forgiven.
About damn time ...
Guess who's winning handily today?
Yep. Boston.
Maton didn’t want to pitch to Rizzo
That looked like the Stanton of seasons past. Swinging at lousy low and outside pitch.
Stanton is mainly a guess hitter. A talented guess hitter, but a guess hitter nonetheless
Donaldson up first. I don't have much confidence in him. Torres, maybe. Hicks, wild card. Be nice to close this out without extras.
Mr. One Fifty facing the righty.
As expected.
Boone again. Shoulda sent Carpenter up there, put DJ at third... well, you know. Dumb. Idiot.
Glad Stanek was able to find a job after the Marshall Tucker Band stopped playing.
Torres with the steal plus.
Oh fuck. Gleyber hurt.
And Hicks sucks.
double oh, shit.
Gleyber should be on the grass in that situation. Not that it would have helped him with the injury. Hopefully not serious.
Falafel should of had that…
King came through in a heart attack inning.
We need to end this. These guys are treacherous.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!! I don't know how much more of this I CAN TAKE !!!
FFFUUUUUUUUUCCCKKKKKKKK !!!
And how the fucking fuckedy fuck does fucking Hicks HURT GLEYBER BY STRIKING OUT !!?!?!?!!!??????
IFK!! IFK!! IFK!!
I say send Carpenter then Hicks on a delayed double steal.
No good now that DJ wiffed.
That would have worked.
Holy fucking fuck.
Yankees Win!!!
Wow
SHOW HIM THE MONEY!!!!!!!!!
(then give it to him)
ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL FUCKING RRRRIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just gorgeous!!!
He's worth more than Cole, easy.
THHuuuuu-uhuhuh-UHUHUHH-UHUHUH-aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-AHAHAHAAAAH-UHUHUHUHUHHH YANKEES WIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!
SUCK IT CHEATER SHRIMP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SO ENDETH THE FUCKING JUJU!! TAKE US OUT FRANK, SING US ON HOME!!
PAY THE FUCKIN MAN!...
Big week for Judges!
If my memory serves me, we've scored 9 runs off of their bullpen. They've only scored two. Our bullpen > cheating, lyin', dastardly bullpen
More clutch than 1000 manual transmissions.

I don't think that "best player on the team" comment in the post-gamw interview was what Judge meant to say.
(But he's not wrong ...)
Woo hoo!
Did anyone catch the outrageous pun by Michael Kay after the game?
For some reason, AJ gave the bat he hit the game winner with to Spike Lee.
Kay said AJ “did the right thing” by doing that
Goddam!
We had 'em all the way!
(Grew up in western PA listening to Bob Prince. Man was a treasure)
All due credit to our revered MVP AJ, but how ‘bout a shout out to the ‘pen? 5 innings of hitless relief!
Thank you gents!
Aside to Chapman, don’t hurry back. In fact, stay away.
Now don't get carried away.
It seems like the YES men might be readers of IIHIIFIIc. In the bottom of the 10th, Michael Kay referred to the extra innings base runner as "The Manfred Man".
Nice.
That's very good. I like it.
Gleyber has a "minor" sprain. "Out a couple of days".
Expect the 60 day injured list.
Hoss said what needed to be said. NOW STOP SCREWING AROUND YOU GUYS!!
@Rufus, I don't think anyone here compared this team to 1998. It's the media. Even Ma & Pa Yankee were bringing up the 1998 Yankees. All of us here seem to be squarely in the "I'll believe when I see it" camp.
