Game 154: Beat Ruth


Or not? He looks like a great guy. So does Judge, of course, but Babe... it would be like defeating your teddy bear. I don't know. He had his time. Live for today, right? Crush him.

How are we in a position to clinch the division with what has to be one of the lamest collection of baseball players ever?

Who in this line-up, aside from Judge, approaches good much less great?

Publius said...

Trevino

Publius said...

Good, as a catcher

DickAllen said...

Hurrican Ian might do us all a favor and destroy that dump of a ballpark in the next few days.

Hinkey Haines said...

We’ll, this game is officially over.

JM said...

Trevino and IKF and Waldo.

Doug K. said...

This team is a travesty of a mockery of a sham.

Mildred Lopez said...


Am I wrong to be already thinking, "Christ, how are we going to score two runs?"
What a pissant team.

TheWinWarblist said...

You are not wrong, Mildred. Not one bit.

TheWinWarblist said...

Intentional unintentional BB.

TheWinWarblist said...

Hey!!!

TheWinWarblist said...

The Master and Suzyn are bemoaning the way the Yankees leave men on base and don't get the runs in.

Mildred Lopez said...


Donaldson and Stanton, back-to-back. How to kill a rally.

Joe Formerlyof Brooklyn said...


In 2023, NYYs will pay these 4 players (combined) a total of just a bit more than $100 million:

Stanton
Cole
Donaldson
Hicks

I find this extremely depressing. There's more in store.

Doug K. said...

Mildred -

Donaldson and Stanton, back-to-back in the middle of the lineup.

:(

TheWinWarblist said...

Hicks anywhere in the lineup.

JM said...

Bronx cheers.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

I missed the first period. I was out getting Brador's.

How's it going so far?

Rufus T. Firefly said...

When is Zoilo Almonte batting?

Hinkey Haines said...

This is when a good team busts things open.

Anyone know where I can find a good team?

Hinkey Haines said...

How many frogging times do we have to watch Rizo get thrown out on the bases?

Hinkey Haines said...

Frogging is like frigging - it’s the amphibious version.

JM said...

Bichette having a fun inning.

TheWinWarblist said...

They walked Judge again? I'm shocked. Nobody wants to see Judge walked. Throw strikes you fuckers.

Doug K. said...


(Ring ring ring.)
Hello.
Hello. Is Mike Stanton home?
No he's out.
What again? It seems like he's always out.
Tell me about it.




Pocono Steve said...

If Hicks comes up with two outs, guaranteed Judge is leading off the next inning.

13bit said...

I can't get no....satisfaction.
I can't get no....satisfaction.
and I try, and I try, and I try and I try...
I can't get no
I can't get no
I can't get no
no no no
hey hey hey
that's what I say...

JM said...

Walks again

TheWinWarblist said...

It's insane to walk Judge every time. They walked him twice and he's come around to score both times.

Doug K. said...

Fuck this Nancy Sinatra bullshit.

JM said...

Don't confuse Boots with Bootsy Bader

Hinkey Haines said...

Wonder how many home runs the Gerrit Cole bobble head will give up on Friday night.

JM said...

Bichette having a rough night.

JM said...

Think...lol!

JM said...

Hink, I mean

JM said...

Hicks, great throw.

Hinkey Haines said...

First, what a crafty play by IKF. Second, it’s nice to see other teams running into outs.

Doug K. said...

Stanton Strike Three (Stand By Me)

When your swing is long...
And you are all bark.
And a change up is a pitch you can not see.

The pitcher's not afraid.
No, no never afraid.
Cause he knows, that you'll swing... at strike three.

Woh...oh..oh.
Stanton strike three.
oh oh oh oh
Stanton strike three.
Yes he knows, you will swing, at strike three.





JM said...

I'm touched, Doug. A tear in my eye.

Local Bargain Jerk said...


This team is a travesty of a mockery of a sham.

Man, that's just Bananas.

Doug K. said...

I was hoping that Phelps, as a former teammate of Judge might groove one but alas he did not.

Pocono Steve said...

Why is Taillon still pitching?

Doug K. said...

Is no one up in the pen?

TheWinWarblist said...

Miguel Andujar had a 3-run double today in Pittsburgh's 4-1 win.

TheWinWarblist said...

Why are we in italics??

TheWinWarblist said...

This is far too fancy for the likes of us!

HoraceClarke66 said...

The BJs are scum. Four walks—and of course we pitched to Impaler, Jr.

Idiotic. Each walk to Judge should've been followed by a ball in Vlady's ribs.

HoraceClarke66 said...

True, Winnie. But I feel that I am writing everything with a whole new emphasis.

HoraceClarke66 said...

Donaldson is simply an awful hitter, and the sooner he is off this ball club, the better.

HoraceClarke66 said...

If we were to go to bold, I bet we would also be more audacious than ever.

HoraceClarke66 said...

Stanton 1-16, with 10 Ks since the walk-off v. Pittsburgh.

This team has zero chance in the postseason.

Doug K. said...

One more time.... (with feelin')

Stanton Strike Three (Stand By Me)

When your swing is long...
And you are all bark.
And a change up is a pitch you can not see.

The pitcher's not afraid.
No, no never afraid.
Cause he knows, that you'll swing... at strike three.

Woh...oh..oh.
Stanton strike three.
oh oh oh oh
Stanton strike three.
Yes he knows, you will swing, at strike three.

HoraceClarke66 said...

Check that: 1-17, 11 strikeouts.

HoraceClarke66 said...

Wow. Playoff pitching is going to eat these guys alive.

Really a good-faith effort there, too, to get Judge another at-bat.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Doug,

Phelps was gone before Judge came up.

ranger_lp said...

Looks like Ruth's record wont be broken...

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Italics?

Are they from Italy?

ranger_lp said...

He made all our comments slanted?

Doug K. said...

Ranger,

Well we were already biased.

JM said...

Please, no ethnic jokes.

HoraceClarke66 said...

Boy, do I hate these guys. A fucking beer-league team, in attitude and fitness. This division was theirs to take, and they didn't do it. Wonder if they still have their home run jackets and all that crap?

JM said...

Speaking of italics, do they still sell Vitalis?

HoraceClarke66 said...

All right, I'm starting it.

"THHHHH...."

ranger_lp said...

Yankees Win!!!

JM said...

We have the division.

HoraceClarke66 said...

"UUUUUHHHHHH..."

HoraceClarke66 said...

"YANKKEES! WIN!"

Doug K. said...

OK... At least there's that!!!!

TheWinWarblist said...

The uduhudufufUHUHUHUHUHUHUH-UUHUUHUUH-UHHUHHUHH YANKKES WIN IN ITALICS !!!!

JM said...

Judge has agita.

JM said...

In the labonza.

TheWinWarblist said...

Doug K. calls it. The most minimal and meager accomplishment!

Hinkey Haines said...

I do t have anything constructive to add. I just want to see my name in italics.

TheWinWarblist said...

Hey! The radio feed is running way behind!

JM said...

If I was the team leader on the Yankees, I'd ignore the champagne and just take a shower.

HoraceClarke66 said...

50th first-place finish over the course of the long season, counting 1994, and the first-half, first-place finish in 1981.

50, in what is now 120 years of existence, and 50 out of the last, 102 seasons.

Not bad.

HoraceClarke66 said...

Judge is looking genuinely delighted. Which is nice.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

But we only count rings.

HoraceClarke66 said...

And again: Fuck the Blue Jays. Games like this—'We're not particularly inspired to play hard, but we're going to make sure the guy everybody came to see doesn't get a shot'—are yet another nail in baseball's coffin.

Does nobody involved with baseball today understand that the money does NOT falleth like a gentle rain from heaven, but comes from the fans?

HoraceClarke66 said...

Well, I wouldn't call it a minimal accomplishment. In some ways, it's the most difficult accomplishment in sports, achieved as it is over the longest season there is.

Not as great an accomplishment as it used to be before divisions. But still very impressive.

Beauregard Jackson Pickett Burnside said...

Yeah well now we’re bold.

BTR999 said...

Fancy Schmancy Italics!

Officially, they're saying Yanks have 20 division titles since 1969, tying them for second with the Dodgers, 1 behind Atlanta.

These totals, though, do not count 1981, in which both the Yanks and the Bums won the first half "title," then mailed it in, in the second half.

I put it at a three-way tie, at 21.

Local Bargain Jerk said...

Sorry guys....

I did this on my phone

And then fell asleep.

It looks like I hit into a bug in the blogspot site.

Stang said...

Congratulations to division winners Sterling, Waldman, and the Yankees. Judge did not beat Ruth, but neither did Ruth beat Judge. I’ll take it!
