Frankie Blows to Hollywood. Or the Bronx. Or wherever.

TheWinWarblist said...

Fuck. There got the first one out of the way.

Fuck fuck fuck.

JM said...

You fucking said it, Win.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

TBS idiot is saying that he had the 2nd unassisted triple play in history.

2nd, 15th, whatever.

Funny, I had never heard of the idiot. But I do remember Bill Wambsganss.

At least they're not ESPN.

JM said...

I'm back on MLB with our NY radio feed.

JM said...

No idiots.

DickAllen said...


I’m watching YES, and the Montas apologists are in full swing.

Also, they keep showing a Nissan commercial featuring people of color driving through a CLEARLY white town called Basic (presumably in Colorado) and the white lady, seeing the occupants of the cars, falls off her treadmill in shock, then, cut to the inside of the vehicle where the couple look at each other with an amused WTF. Maybe it’s me, but I’ve never seen anything so racist (on both ends) on TV. Is it just me? Has anyone else seen this?

Doug K. said...

And I remember Bill Wennington

Beauregard Jackson Pickett Burnside said...

I have every hope of becoming a Montas apologetic, or forgivist too. My hope is to, at least say, his Mets/Othera split is what makes him still employable.

Beauregard Jackson Pickett Burnside said...

Apologist. Fucking iPhones.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

I remember Luc Longley. Sat next to him at dinner in Atlanta back in the day.

...and that Judge guy is sorta good.

AboveAverage said...

We should trade for Judge after he's been with his new club for a few years - say in 2026/7.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

AA,

It will be 2030/31. Just when he's a seasoned veteran with mobility issues. He can alternate DH days with Stanton and Torres.

Beauregard Jackson Pickett Burnside said...

Lolz

Rufus T. Firefly said...

DFA Torres tonight.

AboveAverage said...

Rufus TEE - I thought that would only take three or four years to achieve - after all historically speaking the giants in MLB start to break down in their mid thirties - BUT will all due respect - I do believe we are saying the same thing. :)

carry on - if you can after that ridiculous confusion on the field

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Incredibly stupid baseball instincts.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Not you AA, Torres.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Mutts are laughing at the replays in the dugout.

Carl J. Weitz said...

I hate Gleyber. A complete dumb shit.

TheWinWarblist said...

Fuck. Now we have to score another run??

Seb said...

Not sure whether I should laugh or cry

Carl J. Weitz said...

@ JM...Just before the pitch McNeil hit for a double, I was telling Montas " relax, don't screw it."

JM said...

I'm out and about. Missed the latest miscue.

Parson Tom said...

nSchmidt is doing his best Montas imitation.

TheWinWarblist said...

It's Adam O. Hooray.

Beauregard Jackson Pickett Burnside said...

The first bunt was great, but when Benny went for the second bunt John knew he was managing. Missed the bunt and got a hit instead but… JS was ready to give Bunting Benny a bunt-call. Benny bomba a bunt between bases! Andy-drew a bunt hit! Benny, Intendy, hitty bunty!

More seriously, JS SAYS IT IS VITAL THE YANKEES WIN THIS GAME!

TheWinWarblist said...

Aaron Judge is very good.

TheWinWarblist said...

This game is giving me anal cramps ... and not the good kind.

Beauregard Jackson Pickett Burnside said...

Will we win in three days the same number of games won in the previous three weeks? Could this be happening? Can we hope? Are our anuses cramped?

TheWinWarblist said...

BJPB !!!!! HAVE YOU NOT SEEN WHAT IS HAPPENING!!! HUSH NOW !!!!

TheWinWarblist said...

Schmidt is all we have left, is he?

Pocono Steve said...

Well, he yielded the weak grounder. There was just no one there to field it.

Beauregard Jackson Pickett Burnside said...

Torres fields “no play”. For those watching instead of listening…. Was that Torres no play, or like, no play for a real player?

Seb said...

Fine bullpen management once again

TheWinWarblist said...

Schmidt really is all we have left, isn't he.

TheWinWarblist said...

Oh. Oh. No I was wrong. There's Wandy.

Beauregard Jackson Pickett Burnside said...

Sterling is so angry about this inning!

ranger_lp said...

Yankees Win!!!

Doug K. said...

whew

TheWinWarblist said...

For fuck sake it's over! The uhuhuhuhuh anal cramps have finally won three in a row. The Yankees! I mean Thu uhuhuh-UH-UH-UH Yankees WIN!!


Fuck.

Pocono Steve said...

Woo hoo!

TheWinWarblist said...

Not the anal cramps. That was just a silly mistake.

TheWinWarblist said...

Beautiful warble from The Master!

Beauregard Jackson Pickett Burnside said...

We had ‘em all the way.

JM said...

Whew.

TheWinWarblist said...

I see what you did there Beauregard Jackson Pickett Burnside!

Beauregard Jackson Pickett Burnside said...

I really liked Suzyn’s interview with Cabrera. He sounded so alive, and so happy. He also sounds like the guy who washes my car, and i like him too.

HoraceClarke66 said...

I gotta say...

—Frankie Say: Maybe I DON'T Suck!

—Schmidt: terrific!

—Wandy: really, terrific work on Lindor (though that one pitch...)

—Gleyber...sigh. Well, the second one wasn't his fault.

HoraceClarke66 said...

We got a break on the Gleyber play, in that when Torres went toward second, Alonso broke to the plate again. That should've been the moment to cut him down.

But no.

IKF should have been doing more on that play, too, rather than ducking and covering.

AboveAverage said...

HEY WinWarblist - the following pellet of creativity is dedicated to YOU because of your frequently referencing of anal cramps this evening:

The Bronx Bowelers proved to be the more solid mass of the 2 tonight as they were able to defeat the New York METamucils 4 - 2 at the stadium.

The Flushing faithful will need to wipe away this loss and find another way to rectum the next time they meet.

DickAllen said...


I noticed that Judge was moved to the #3.

A certain poster must be apoplectic right about now.
