Publius said...: He'll be on the DL by Wednesday.; August 7, 2022 at 3:29 PM
Joe of AZ said...: #StopTradingWithOakland; August 7, 2022 at 3:29 PM
Hazel Motes said...: Such beautifully symmetrical karma--Monty's revenge in shutting out the Coops nine, and now the immediate nosedive of his replacement in the rotation. Here's to Brian Cashman, the wrong-way Corrigan of baseball GMs.; August 7, 2022 at 3:53 PM
Celerino Sanchez said...: I think he is the 2022 version of Jeff Weaver. Because One of the pitchers they gave up will be Ted Lilly and in 2-3 years, they will wish they had him. Too bad they didn't get Chris Montez, "Call Me" was a great song, Sinatra's version was the best. But I digress.; August 7, 2022 at 3:54 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: This team is just playing flat-out weird, now. DJ has been having a terrific year, he is NOT a problem. But why that curious run on his double, precluding any chance of getting to third? He slowed up approaching first, then slowed up approaching second, as the ball rolled to the wall.

What?; August 7, 2022 at 4:02 PM
Joe of AZ said...: To be fair Monty was fresh off his own 6 run meltdown pitching for us as well but....Montas first impression blows; August 7, 2022 at 4:06 PM
Hazel Motes said...: Kaye is not only a homer--he's an abject homer. "Donaldson JUST MISSED hitting a three-run homer!" on a ball that was foul by twenty feet.; August 7, 2022 at 4:06 PM
DickAllen said...: The Intern has fucked us again.; August 7, 2022 at 4:08 PM
DickAllen said...: Whoa! Wait!

Horace, somebody abducted you, hacked your account, and promised never to come back here ever again!

Thank goodness you're safe!; August 7, 2022 at 4:09 PM
DickAllen said...: It is you, isn't it, Hoss?; August 7, 2022 at 4:09 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: Hey, I didn't say I would NEVER come back...:)

But what a day to do so!

Nobody in the entire park seems to have any energy. Which is understandable, considering the heat. But yes, Montas: 3 whole innings!!!

Yankee ERA: why, it shrunk from 27.00 to 18.00 in just 1 inning!!!; August 7, 2022 at 4:15 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: I have to admit, I was morbidly fascinated to see if Donaldson could strike out 3 times in 4 innings against a 40-year-old pitcher. He could not. Because the ball almost hit him.

But still.

That sound your heard was Miggy sobbing, because he's not allowed to replace this boeboe.; August 7, 2022 at 4:16 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: Frankie Say I Stink; August 7, 2022 at 4:25 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: How the hell is Boone NOT out there on that call?; August 7, 2022 at 4:30 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: Judge!; August 7, 2022 at 4:34 PM
AboveAverage said...: Gin!; August 7, 2022 at 4:34 PM
Doug K. said...: Holy shit was that a bad call on carpenter; August 7, 2022 at 4:35 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: I swear, this asshole has bet on the game.; August 7, 2022 at 4:35 PM
AboveAverage said...: Both start with the JA sound; August 7, 2022 at 4:35 PM
Doug K. said...: Hoss - maybe. it's the only thing that could justify sucking on this level.; August 7, 2022 at 4:37 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: It's true: Kay is now calling every foul ball as a home run. Desperation seeps out of our very pores.; August 7, 2022 at 4:37 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: And...yet another bad call. What a dick.; August 7, 2022 at 4:37 PM
Doug K. said...: MLB should take a look at it that's for sure.; August 7, 2022 at 4:38 PM
Joe of AZ said...: If I was Judge after this debacle of a 2nd.half of the year is be "Fuck you Hal I'm asking for 600 million"; August 7, 2022 at 4:47 PM
DickAllen said...: I can't believe Boooooone decided to use Abreu AGAIN!!!!!

But wait, on second thought, it's Booooone, so after careful (and very brief) consideration, I do believe it.

And if Benintendi isn't in the leadoff spot this coming week, that alleged manager ought to be fired. But knowing him, he'll rest Benny for a few days.

Who the fuck hired that moron?; August 7, 2022 at 4:50 PM
Oasisdave said...: This; August 7, 2022 at 5:00 PM
Hinkey Haines said...: I know I’m repeating myself, but - If only the Yankees had some live arms in Triple A they could bring up to keep the bullpen fresh for the stretch run. But what kind of team has the resources and savvy to plan for stuff like that?; August 7, 2022 at 5:08 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: Hey, that Sears kid seemed pretty good. Maybe he—

Oh, right.; August 7, 2022 at 5:09 PM
Joe of AZ said...: Hey at least we got Harrison Bader; August 7, 2022 at 5:14 PM
ranger_lp said...: This game has gone an inordinate 3 hours and it’s only the sixth inning…; August 7, 2022 at 5:17 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: I actually think this could really be a problem, considering how easy it is now to bet online, and on certain plays and batter. All you have to do is arrange for somebody at home to bet on one player—or even one inning—then make sure that happens.

Not that difficult—and you don't have to leave any kind of betting trail, just a spoken understanding with someone you trust.; August 7, 2022 at 5:17 PM
Hazel Motes said...: HC 66 is once again reaching for the drawer that contains his resignation letter. . . .; August 7, 2022 at 5:19 PM
Carl J. Weitz said...: Hickox makes Angel Hernandez look like a flawless umpire.

Great way to give back 3 runs when you've scored 2 to tie it up in the top of the inning.

The Yankees have collapsed right in front of us. I hear Montefiore Hospital was changing it's name from Einstein-Montefiore to Cashman Montefiore .; August 7, 2022 at 5:20 PM
Hazel Motes said...: This game is on pace to break the record for the longest nine-inning game in MLB history, breaking the previous record, also set by the Yankees:

From the Guinness Web site:
30 SEPTEMBER 2020
The longest 9-inning game (postseason or regular-season) by time in Major League Baseball history was the second game of the Wild-Card Series that lasted 4 hours 50 minutes played between the New York Yankees and the home team Cleveland Indians at Progressive Field, Cleveland, Ohio, (USA) on September 30, 2020. The Yankees were victorious, 10-9. The previous mark had been 4 hours 45 minutes between the Yankees and Boston Red Sox on August 18, 2006.; August 7, 2022 at 5:21 PM
Joe of AZ said...: That call on Benintendi was bullshit; August 7, 2022 at 5:21 PM
ranger_lp said...: Hicks slightly choking up on bat…; August 7, 2022 at 5:22 PM
Carl J. Weitz said...: Marwin could easily have bunted for a hit down the third baseline and at the minimum score another run.; August 7, 2022 at 5:28 PM
Hazel Motes said...: Hickox is calling strikes balls and balls strikes against both teams. Is it the power of the union that prevents replacement of incompetents?; August 7, 2022 at 5:35 PM
AboveAverage said...: This comment has been removed by the author.; August 7, 2022 at 5:54 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: Can't anyone play this game?; August 7, 2022 at 6:31 PM

Celerino Sanchez said...: Zac Effron is under control for 4 more years!; August 7, 2022 at 6:35 PM
Doug K. said...: Wow did Brian fuck up the trade deadline. Trades are supposed to make the team better. (duh!)

The lead is under ten. By the time they get home it could be in the 5-7 range.

Epic fail!; August 7, 2022 at 6:37 PM
AboveAverage said...: Sleepless in Seattle; August 7, 2022 at 6:43 PM
Doug K. said...: Sheep-dip in Seattle.; August 7, 2022 at 6:46 PM
Joe of AZ said...: Thanks Brian for Fuckin up the Chemistry.... Please sit on your hands or rappell off a building with no rope next trade deadline; August 7, 2022 at 6:48 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: At least the carmines are in last place. That's something to be happy about.

(Looking for the silver lining, and the gin); August 7, 2022 at 7:06 PM

DickAllen said...: This is more like the team I thought we’d have back in spring training. They might actually be even worse.; August 7, 2022 at 7:48 PM
The Hammer of God said...: Everybody sing: always look on the bri-ight side of life ....; August 7, 2022 at 8:05 PM

13bit said...: By the way, Hoss, if nobody has told you lately - we need you around here.

Love from the whole gang.

HoraceClarke66 said...: Thanks, Bitty! And I wouldn't leave for the world. If only because of you guys.; August 7, 2022 at 9:11 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: As usual, Mr. bit speaks the truth.; August 7, 2022 at 9:14 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: Thanks, Rufus.

And what a day today! Almost a clinic in how not to hit in the clutch. Except...the home plate umpiring was SO bad that it's hard to get on the hitters at all. Plus, 9 runs should always be a win.

Which leaves...; August 7, 2022 at 9:18 PM
13bit said...: Despite my stick-in-the-mud tendencies when it comes to the traditions of the game - what they might call a "moldy fig" in the jazz world, except that I like free jazz and avant grade as much as I like swing - but when it comes to baseball, I like the traditions, almost as much as I like run-on sentences like this - but for real, I hate the new rules with the heat of a million suns, I hate the commissioner, all that shit - DESPITE THAT - nay, BECAUSE OF THAT - I am finally ready to embrace the robo ump at home plate.

ANYTHING TO GET JOE WEST AND HIS ILK OUT OF THE GAME.; August 7, 2022 at 9:46 PM
