For Paul O'Neill Day, Hicks is back in the lineup.

 

Along with Marwin Gonzalez, Judge back in the 2 slot, and DJ hitting 4th. Uh, okay.  Makes sense...in an alternate universe, maybe.

Yanks have now lost six straight series, their most in a row since 1995.


But hey, sometimes a picture really is worth a thousand words—or sobs:

  1. Hoss...Is that his baseball card glued to his head?

  2. Wait...maybe that's where Hicks keeps that compromising picture of Cashman for safe keeping. Under his cap.

  5. Third time's the charm . . .

    Come on now, Carl. We all know that t he card is there to cover over Hicksy's blow hole.

  6. Maybe if Boone managed today's game wearing a Batman Cowl - then we'd start putting up some runs.

  7. The sad part is how intensely he's looking for it: 'Wait, I KNOW I wrote down how to play this next guy!"

  8. No Jeter for the ceremonies today, which seems a little sad, and a little odd.

    Meanwhile, every shot of the Yankees' dugout shows Judge and others with feeble smiles, or looking completely distracted. Like parents at a high school graduation who are facing a biopsy report on Monday.

  9. Pretty funny gift, a battered water cooler with a bat through it, to Paulie—who kicked it over for the fans.

    Meanwhile, the 2022 team gave him a framed copy of his uniform with all of their autographs on it. Yeah, I bet he's going to savor THAT one!

  10. Albert Abreu on the DL, meanwhile, which is either the height of hypocrisy or gross negligence on the part of the coaching/training staffs.

  11. Cashman's name booed at the O'Neill ceremony. Evil Weasel did not have the balls to show up.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Loved the boos for BOTH Cashman and Hal

    ReplyDelete
  13. As was Hal, booed walking up, and louder as he left. The Yankees are doomed to fail with Cashman and Hal at the helm, either/and by ignorance> retread/bargain older former glory players, or by design >more cost effective to make> then fail in there playoffs. I have been schooled on this by ALL of you over this last month, and my last illusions about this organization have been thoroughly erased.

    It's the first time in my life that I've been jealous of my Met friends,,,,,,

    FUCK HAL!
    FUCK CASHMAN!!!!!!!

  16. Barney's comment got ghosted.

  17. I have to say, I haven't been keeping up with the intramural rivalries around here.

  18. Peralta is pretty bad. Lasagna wasn't too hot, either. What a bullpen. Anyone seen Schmidt? Is he still on milk cartons?

    ReplyDelete
  19. what was the call what was the call what was the call?!?

    ReplyDelete
  20. Is there an echo in here isn't that good of a home run call

    ReplyDelete
  21. Multi beni, followed by it's raining beni-s from heaven.

    ReplyDelete
  22. 'BENNY... OH, MOLTO BENE! IT'S RAINING BENNIES FROM HEAVEN!"

    ReplyDelete
  23. This was Doug Ks prediction: "ANDY IS DANDY... MOLTO BENNY!"

    Close enough, I say!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Yeah, I only had the Andy is dandy part. Bennies from heaven, though... didn't see that one coming.

    ReplyDelete
  25. On reflection, it's probably "BENNY'S FROM HEAVEN." Instead of benzedrine.

    ReplyDelete
  26. You'd have to ask Bud Harrelson about that

    ReplyDelete
  27. You'd have to ask Bud Harrelson about that - refers to an interview he had once after a Met's game on Kiner's Korner where he joked about "uppers" (all of my Harrelson comments are being dropped)

    ReplyDelete
  28. but I signed out and in - so maybe that took care of it

    ReplyDelete
  29. No, now that I listen to it again, it's definitely BENNIES. Benzedrine. I'd forgotten already about the RAINING part.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Whatever powered that home run, it worked.

  31. Blind squirrel, meet acorn. Acorn, meet blind squirrel.

  32. A win is a win is a win. And the pitching looked good.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Great win.

    I'm in Nebraska and my app cut out just before Benintendi hit the HR so I didn't hear the call. Then it came back right after.


    Thanks for saying what it was.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Congrats, Doug! You nailed it!

    ReplyDelete
  35. It’s too late now, but the kids would have loved “friends with bennies”.

    I did text Suzyn Doug’s Molto Benny line when he first came up with it so I believe this blog really helped make that happen. Sure took long enough.

    At least I texted it to someone named Suzyn Waldman from Croton on Hudson. Probably just some crazy old cat lady who thinks I’m nuts… So it is the real Suzyn!

  36. What a overall classless day for Paul.

    ReplyDelete
  37. A couple wins a week from here on out, maybe 3 in a good week, and they should hold on to the division. That wrst coast swing will be very interesting.

    ReplyDelete
  38. beau- LOL.

    Stang - Thanks. :)

    Right now I'm watching the NY Giants because my hotel has the NFL Chanel and that's the game they are showing.

    So overall I'd say it's been a good day.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Really, Kevin? I thought he did all right, but I didn't watch the game.

    He seemed move during the ceremonies, thanked his family, the team, the Bleacher Creatures. He's not a really emotive guy, but I thought that was all right.

    What was the classless part?

    ReplyDelete
  40. The Yankees, specifically Genius Cashman love Barren Hicks. He can do no wrong. With his lack of power and .216 batting avarage.
