Shortly after Zimmer got Pedro'd I was fortunate enough to have lower level box seats behind home plate at a SF Giants vs Red Sox day game in San Francisco.
Pedro was the starting pitcher that day.
I knew these seats well - and knew that I'd be right smack in Pedro's eye line.
So I had a giant Don Zimmer head made (mounted on foam core) that I wore as a face mask.
I was also wearing a Yankees road jersey.
The fans were into it - with several asking for me to pose with them wearing the mask.
Colon ace. I have a colonoscopy on Friday. (Always nice to have a procedure knowing everyone in the room). The woman doc who will be performing it has a deeper voice than Colace.
I can’t decide which I find more distasteful: our “Ace” talking to himself as he came off the mound or the advert for baseball gambling in between innings.
Cole sucks. He hit your big flat fastball you turd!
So between Nat King Coke, Iron Man Stanton and Aaron Hicks and the Hot Licks, that’s 80m dollars. A little less than twice the Rays payroll. But they can’t pay Judge. Cashman should be arrested for malfeasance. A great line from “Its a wonderful life”
Yeah, baseball and sports in general are just asking for it on gambling—particularly now that it has been broken down to betting on just individual plays or innings.
Waste management logo on the backstop. Fits in with the draft kings promotions. What could possibly go wrong with the mafia and the betting rackets joint venture?
4-5 more in 20 games? We can hope. But he’s going to Mets. The Mets don’t deserve him.
When I was much younger I took some friends to NYC to see the Yankees play the Sox. Rural NH kids. My dad still worked in NYC during the week so the place was free on weekends. Anyway, we had time to kill and wanted to not pay for the Circle Line yet still see the Statue of Liberty. Staten Island Ferry…. I’d previously scared them by driving down South Orange Avenue into Newark (again killing more time…). There were some Staten Island toughies and they could tell we weren’t local. My friends were like “uh oh…” but I knew they could be shut down with the slightest dominance. Aside from being from Staten Island, they had Mets hats on. Complete losers. Backed off like mice. Red Sox fans are the same way. Complete cowards. They couldn’t even show up to this game at Fenway apparently.
So like I said, the Mets don’t deserve Judge. But Hal doesn’t either.
Aaron Judge is the league's MVP, but mark what I say here: Those inbred fuckers are going to give the MVP to Ohtani. It will be the third time Judge has been robbed of an MVP.
Inbred mutant freak small minded Gaommonite monger fuckers.
Weed? You go to Newark for coke! J/k we were leaving South Orange (I needed bagels) and logically went through Vailsburg to get on the Parkway. What I think bothered them the most was that.. in the 90’s at least… Black people didn’t believe in crosswalks. They’d just walk right at your car… to cross in the middle of the the street... but it sure could feel like they were coming right at us. The street was also packed with people. It was alive. I’ve gone back, there’s much less milling around. Springfield Avenue in Irvington used to be one of those alive streets too. Like the mall at Christmas, but outdoors, on the street, and the place looks like a disaster area. Back then border third world. There are chain stores there now… Advance Auto, Kentucky Fried Chicken instead of “Kennedy” Fried Chicken which is what was around back then. We were in a Jaguar XJS and I remember my friend slumped down so low he was below his knees were above his head.
Don’t get me in the way back machine…. But sometimes us children were pawned off on my Grandfather. He’d always take us to Newark for some reason. Dickie Dees, Garrutos, Calandras. We were the most Italian Irish people I knew. Anyway, I don’t know where we were… Roseville probably… and this black “woman” in a chartruese glittery or sequin dress came up to the Impala wagon. More walking the street than crossing it. She quickly left when she saw us kids.
I wanted to walk him, too. But...Peralta did have great numbers against Devers. And while Devers is a terrific hitter, he does seem to have the Yankees problem of never cutting down his swing for the situation. He was either going to knock a ball out of the park against Peralta, or he was going to fan.
I sometimes wonder if we aren't a bit hard on the lads. No sympathy for upper management, and only pity with Boooone. Given the teams who will make the playoffs, none are true dreadnaughts, between roster construction and injuries. Even the Dodgers can fall. If the Team goes into the playoffs healthy especially drawing inspiration from Judge, maybe we roll the table. But most who are on this blog already know that.....
PS, Judge fucking DAMN well better win the MVP. We all smell the fuckery that MLB, ESPN, The Knights Templar, and others are brewing to toss the award to the Greatest Player ever. BETTER NOT HAPPEN.
He may not win because people in KC, St. Louis and Seattle won't vote for a Yankee. Seattle is still protesting the way they were made to look so "quaint" in Ball Four. Too many areas just detest the Yanks
@BJBP...I grew up on the Jersey shore and Newark seemed like it was in another country as a kid. But visiting later as an adult, I find that the Ironbound section of the city has some fantastic restaurants, especially for Portuguese food.

Red Sox lost that game.
It was wonderful :)
A giant Don Zimmer head? That must have been like… almost life size.
ReplyDeleteIt was 4x larger than an average human head.
ReplyDeleteSo roughly the same size as Zimmer’s noggin’
Well Suzyn laid down the gauntlet for Cole…. Along the lines of “You better fucking win you asshole baby who thinks he’s an ace”
ReplyDeleteSuzyn does have a point…..
ReplyDeleteOk. We need pictures of the giant Zimmer head.
ReplyDeleteColace.
ReplyDeleteAce.
ReplyDelete"Along the lines of “You better fucking win you asshole baby who thinks he’s an ace”"
ReplyDeletethis
Colon ace.
ReplyDeleteMarwin?!?!?
ReplyDeleteAA,
ReplyDeleteFound the game. June 19, 2004. Can't find a Zim pic though.
Added bonus that game -- big head bonds went 0fer with an error.
I’ve never heard Going Going Gone-zolez. Pretty good.
ReplyDeleteJohn: "The last guy you'd expect to hit a HR."
ReplyDeleteExactly.
I work on it Rufus -
ReplyDeleteI’ll
ReplyDeleteGuy who didn't have a home run this year.
ReplyDeleteI hate Cole
ReplyDeleteThe first guy was batting .095.
ReplyDeleteHe is very hateable.
ReplyDelete“The yankees maximize the value of every pitch, and Coupa maximized the value of business spend”.
ReplyDeleteAs a Coupa customer, I can tell you those are both lies.
WHAT THE UNGODLY FUCKING FUCK IS FUCKING COLE DOING??
ReplyDeleteFUCK DU JOUR.
Colon ace. I have a colonoscopy on Friday. (Always nice to have a procedure knowing everyone in the room). The woman doc who will be performing it has a deeper voice than Colace.
ReplyDeleteAnd it will be less painful than watching colace.
I'm listening to music tonight. I can survive the game feed.
ReplyDeleteLooks like Alan Moore’s younger brother Fred is sitting behind the dugout ….
ReplyDeleteI can’t decide which I find more distasteful: our “Ace” talking to himself as he came off the mound or the advert for baseball gambling in between innings.
ReplyDeleteCole sucks. He hit your big flat fastball you turd!
Put Pete in the Hall.

ReplyDeleteTriston Casas and Reese McGuire. I have seen real aces. I have listened to real aces. And Mr. Cole, you are no ace!
ReplyDeleteDick,
ReplyDeletePete should be in the hall. It will never happen.

ReplyDeleteYeah, baseball and sports in general are just asking for it on gambling—particularly now that it has been broken down to betting on just individual plays or innings.
ReplyDeleteYou can throw bets without anyone even noticing.
I know Rufus.
ReplyDeleteBaseball is in the gambling business and governments are running numbers.
It’s a wonderful life.
Cole's a pussy.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteWow. Cole just pitched around that kid.
Afraid of a rookie.
ReplyDeleteWaste management logo on the backstop. Fits in with the draft kings promotions. What could possibly go wrong with the mafia and the betting rackets joint venture?
ReplyDeleteAll rise!!!56!!!
ReplyDeleteI know how this season is going to end, but being here makes it easier. Even enjoyable. If it weren’t for all of you, I wouldn’t care.
ReplyDeleteIt’s a little like Mystery Science Theater.
Making the unbearable tolerable.
You should see us do a running commentary on Attack of the Giant Leeches.
ReplyDeleteYessssssss!
ReplyDeleteJudge is having a hell of a year.
ReplyDeleteThe atbat stream is ridiculously behind. 2 minutes at least.
ReplyDeleteALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL RRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSEEEEEEE !!!!!
ReplyDeleteWonders never cease. Jogginson Torres hustling to first.
ReplyDeletePesky pole cheapo.
ReplyDeletecole gave it back again. un-believable
ReplyDeleteI think we have an acehole as our #1
ReplyDeleteCan we DFA Cole?
ReplyDeleteJudge has an AMAZING 56 home runs. All the more amazing is he’s never faced Cole.
ReplyDeleteIt will only cost them $270m to DFA him. Might be worth it
ReplyDeleteThe proverbial million dollar arm with a fifty cent head.
ReplyDeleteCelerino,
ReplyDeleteYou made me think of Johnny Dangerously and the fargin' iceholes.
John doesn't like the batting order with Judge and Stanton batting with no one on.
ReplyDeleteJohn for ANALytical department head.
I can’t believe they’re going to lose this game. Cole should be ashamed of himself.
ReplyDeleteBonehead outsmarted hisself again.
ReplyDeleteJudge!!!
ReplyDeleteJuuuuuudge!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat Judge kid might actually be a good player someday.
ReplyDeleteM-MuthaFuckin-V-P
ReplyDeletePay the man
Judge is winning the $100 million bet he made this spring. And it may pay 3:1.
ReplyDelete4-5 more in 20 games? We can hope. But he’s going to Mets. The Mets don’t deserve him.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was much younger I took some friends to NYC to see the Yankees play the Sox. Rural NH kids. My dad still worked in NYC during the week so the place was free on weekends.

So like I said, the Mets don’t deserve Judge. But Hal doesn’t either.
Beau,
ReplyDeleteOrange Avenue? Did you supply a change of underwear?
At least it sounds like you did it in daylight.
And was the weed good?
How in the name of all that is holy is Aaron Hicks hitting in this ballgame????????!!!!!!!!?????!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHell, how in the name of all that is evil is he hitting???????!!!!!!!
(Evil called in, to disavow any association with Aaron Hicks.)
Aaron Judge is the league's MVP, but mark what I say here: Those inbred fuckers are going to give the MVP to Ohtani. It will be the third time Judge has been robbed of an MVP.
ReplyDeleteInbred mutant freak small minded Gaommonite monger fuckers.
What they need now is a Baltimore chop.
ReplyDelete...or a walk.
Hoping for a wild pitch

Evil doesn't want to be associated with such a loser.
ReplyDeleteIs calling a tie game “knotted” a normal phrase, or a Sterlingism?
ReplyDeleteNot sure how you take a weak hack like Gonzalez did in this situation
ReplyDeleteThis isn’t BP
Also took the bat out of Judge’s hands
Now watch Stanton fail…
.218 BA 325M contract. A Stantonian mismatch
ReplyDeleteGleyber for the week grounder for $100 Alex.
ReplyDeleteTorres!!!
ReplyDeleteGleyber!!
ReplyDeleteFlorial fell down and still scored!
ReplyDeleteMight win, no thanks to Cole.
ReplyDeleteGive credit when it is due: that was nice hitting by Torres.
ReplyDeleteFlorial making a bid to be on Sportcenter.
Beau, I think “knotted” for a tie score is old-fashioned but not a John coinage.
ReplyDeleteAnd now Holmes can piss it all away.
ReplyDeleteCole isn’t an ace. He’s more of a deuce.
ReplyDeleteBoone is "managing", bringing in Peralta. Already you can feel this going down the drain.
ReplyDeleteFFS…
ReplyDeleteThis game is going to kill me. WALK DEVERS.
ReplyDeleteYankees Win!!!
ReplyDeleteJesus H. Christmas.
ReplyDeleteJohn is happy. What a warble.
ReplyDeleteThu-uhuh-UHUHUHUHUHYANKEESWIIINNNNN!!!!
ReplyDeleteHe made it through, but I don’t like Peralta’s ego at all. Red Sox walk Judge and we don’t Devers?
ReplyDelete“We had’ em all the way.”
ReplyDeleteWow - that ending was like passing a water Buffalo (and I’m not talking on the freeway)
ReplyDeleteAll right, Wandy comes through. And I give Ma Boone his props.
ReplyDeleteIt was a Gleyber Day. All Rose. Wandy made me vomit. Big Yankees win.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to walk him, too. But...Peralta did have great numbers against Devers. And while Devers is a terrific hitter, he does seem to have the Yankees problem of never cutting down his swing for the situation. He was either going to knock a ball out of the park against Peralta, or he was going to fan.
ReplyDeleteFortunately, he fanned.
Gained half-a-game on both BJs and D-Rays, who conveniently beat each other.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness the imbedded Met was out there.
ReplyDeleteI also would have walked him. Then I saw his stats and realized that JD Martinez would have come up with the bases loaded.
ReplyDeleteBig win!
I wish our fauxAce would not give up so many freaking home runs
ReplyDeleteWell, in fairness, two of the gopher balls that Cole gave up were Pesky Pole specials. But still. Pitch like a fucking ace, ACE!
ReplyDeleteand not a Disgrace
ReplyDeleteWell said!
ReplyDeleteI sometimes wonder if we aren't a bit hard on the lads. No sympathy for upper management, and only pity with Boooone.

ReplyDeleteSeattle is still protesting the way they were made to look so "quaint" in Ball Four.
Too many areas just detest the Yanks
Archangel, say it taint so!!!!
ReplyDelete@BJBP...I grew up on the Jersey shore and Newark seemed like it was in another country as a kid. But visiting later as an adult, I find that the Ironbound section of the city has some fantastic restaurants, especially for Portuguese food.
ReplyDelete@ AA....saw your comment on DFA 50 million in player salary. Hal would rather sever his toes than DFA even a fraction of that amount.
