I fear Shortuve will get his first playoffs hit today, likely in the first inning, and the gates of hell will swing open - dogs and cats, dead frogs from the sky, rivers of blood, horsemen and all that shit.
When asked how Bader didn't know he was leading off (Bader he of the most productive Yankee) Boone said:
Bryan Hoch @BryanHoch Boone was asked about a miscommunication with Harrison Bader not knowing he was leading off in Game 2. Boone said that every player is sent the lineup when finalized. Some are more diligent about checking it than others.
So now he's moved down and a guy (Rizzo) who doesn't like leading off is... wait for it... leading off.
Again gentlemen thanks for the kind words on my return to this blog
Im still not 100% and watching this farce of shamble (omnishables we call it here) I dont want to return to hospital again with a ruptured spleen
The worst thng of all is if we lose this series 4-0 they will polis a turd and say oh we were one series away from the World Series which we all know is absolute bollocks
As I understand it the Yankees dont display pennant flags like every other team does Winnng the World Series or it is considered a poor season
I dont know what the answer is the press seem to go very easy on our manager and Cashman they should be tearing shreads off them for only 1 world series win since 2009
Ayway I hope something good happens in the rest of the game and ut us 17 minutes past midnight and I am too tired and weak to watch the rest of this joke play out
How does the saying go? Bad association spoils useful habits. It was only a matter of time till he looked as lost at the plate as the other fools on this team of trash
They simply cannot compete against a first-rate pitching staff. And, barring a miracle, now 10 straight games with 6 or fewer hits.
Pathetic, indeed.
But it's not even worth saying pathetic about. It's the same old, same old, completely predictable and depressing. This could just as well be the Detroit series in 2012, or Texas in 2010, or last year's single-game playoff appearance.
Cashman wrote the stories for Onley & Sherman weeks ago. Injuries derailed this offense. But on the bright side all these losers are back next year and lose in the WC games.
I mean, if I didn't know any better, I'd almost think they were one-hitting us or something. THAT would be unthinkable, though, right? Didn't Michael Kay or some other Gammonite just say that they were "built for the post-season"?
THIS IS BRIAN'S TEAM.
HAL LETS HIM STAY.
GEORGE NEGLECTED HAL.
HAL HATES THE YANKEES.
BY EXTENSION, THEN, HAL HATES US.
MEMORAIZE THAT QUADRATIC EQUATION, KIDDIES.
FUCK HAL, FUCK CASHMAN, FUCK BOONIE AND BLITZEN...
Cash's deadline Bader/Monty trade was horrifying. Among its effects was that Judge had to play CF for a few months. But then the boot came off, and Bader played well. The defense was there, and he hit. Cash redeemed. Until today. Judge played well in CF, obviously gained confidence, and ranged like a CF to get Vasquez's (of course it was former Red Sock Yankee killer back up catcher Vasquez) lazy flyball. He got in Bader's way, and Bader the great defensive CF who Cash traded a capable left handed pitcher for precisely because he wanted great D in CF, dropped the ball. This effectively ended the Yankees season. Tragedy? Irony? I don't know. But I do know the Ju Ju Gods enjoy making a fool of Brian Cashman.
The really sad part is by next season nothing really will change. Oh, maybe a few things on the surface but the core of the problems will remain. We will all get excited, get sucked in, get our hopes up, and dream the dream but will inevitably be let down again. Rinse, repeat.
He will fire Boone. (and hire Mattingly) He will cut Donaldson, find someone to take Stanton, trade gleyber, and all the other shit moves that have to be made to clear the decks.
AA...I like that free pizza offer. You folks want to come out to my place in Where The Fuck Are We I will entertain you all with a bonfire and some smoked meats. Also music.
Mildred, we keep assembling here, thinking out loud, dreaming, dying, ruminating, conjuring. And waiting. Lots of waiting. So we get to talking to each other and look towards Spring.
Perhaps, in a true poetic sense, the best thing to hope for tonight is Nestor to go 7 SO innings and then we lose 1-0.
Then if there is a Divine Being, Hal will fire BaBoone for his inability to manage a MLB team, fire Cashman because he has taken on that peculiar fragrance of eggs left on the porch in August for 2 weeks and then he will sell the team and devote his life to his true passion-soccer. Maybe a new buyer will let him maintain a minor % of the YES Network as enticement.
Judge will be interesting this off-season, esp. with him have such a poor playoffs. What is he worth? and for how many years?
And, all winter long it will be who's on Second, who's at SS. Cue Abbott and Costello

Again - this lineup is an absolute revelation.
ReplyDeleteA miracle of advanced intelligence and innovative analytics.
A few days ago I blamed the I Ching coin tossing front office monkeys bickering somewhere in the candle lit, subterranean levels of Yankee Stadium.
But this time - THIS TIME its clear that Boone took lead on crafting this masterpiece.
I'm just quivering in silence at the super genius the helms our judge'rnaut of power (thank god I can still type)
Little white pockets off sonic energy are exploding in my brain now, chanting:
COLE!
COLE!
COLE!
COLE!
(maybe I shouldn't have cancelled my Monday morning appointment with my neurologist)
Straight out the clown laboratory
ReplyDeleteI fear Shortuve will get his first playoffs hit today, likely in the first inning, and the gates of hell will swing open - dogs and cats, dead frogs from the sky, rivers of blood, horsemen and all that shit.
ReplyDeleteBoone is a vindictive shit.
ReplyDeleteWhen asked how Bader didn't know he was leading off (Bader he of the most productive Yankee) Boone said:
Bryan Hoch
@BryanHoch
Boone was asked about a miscommunication with Harrison Bader not knowing he was leading off in Game 2. Boone said that every player is sent the lineup when finalized. Some are more diligent about checking it than others.
So now he's moved down and a guy (Rizzo) who doesn't like leading off is... wait for it... leading off.
Keep yer composure Cole.
ReplyDeleteStay dialed in, Sir.
Someone on the ASStros has pictures of the home plate umpire in bed with a dead girl or a live boy.
ReplyDeleteOver the last month or so, Judge has been consistently missing the balls he was tattooing
ReplyDeleteJavier dominated us that inning
ReplyDeleteTrue, BTR. Troubling.
ReplyDeleteOne strikeout and two pop ups around home plate. A flying start.
What the fuck? Bader and Judge doing that? Christ.
ReplyDeleteJudge should have got the error there. CF gets priority.
ReplyDeleteWords. Of. Wisdom.
ReplyDeleteAnd there it is
ReplyDeleteAnd there it goes
An error and then a HR. What a shocker! He should have done the throwing over to first thing.
ReplyDeleteYep Doug True
ReplyDeleteCall it an early year, Bosch
ReplyDeleteWe have owned a lead in this series for exactly 1/2 of an inning
ReplyDeleteHow could Carpenter give up on that pitch with 2 strikes???
ReplyDeleteRegarding Carpenter: This is just cruel.
ReplyDeleteCole throws a meatball that lands in seats following a defensive miscue. Pregame Vegas odds on that were negative.
ReplyDeleteJohn Greenleaf Whittier wrote, “Of all sad words of tongue or pen / the saddest are these: It might have been!”
ReplyDeleteHe was mistaken. The saddest words of tongue or pen are “Now batting, Josh Donaldson.”
Don-old-son
ReplyDeleteHinkey - Nice!
ReplyDeleteHinkey, you are quite the wordsmith.
ReplyDeleteBoone is a GENIUS!!! This lineup is putting on a fuckin CLINIC!!!!
ReplyDeleteThey've only struck out three times in three innings. If this holds Boone will talk about progress after the game
ReplyDeleteThat little kids knows. He's watching bad baseball.
ReplyDeletePathetic AB by Judge.
ReplyDeleteEarly no-hitter warning flag is out
Doug,
ReplyDeleteHe hasn't had that advanced ANALytics class in gradeschool yet.
Take that flag down
ReplyDeleteStrike out ARD!
ReplyDeleteH!
ReplyDeleteTHat pitch to Altuve was 6 inches above the ground... so, belt high.
ReplyDeleteSuzyn is disgusted by Donaldson (" they were giving it to you")!
ReplyDeleteSuzyn is on to something there.
ReplyDeleteCaught Stealing is Hard
ReplyDeletePathetic
ReplyDeletePlatoni,
ReplyDeleteRespectfully, pathetic would be an upgrade
Ace looks miffed.
ReplyDeleteThis is actually smart managing by Boone. Gotta make sure as fresh as possible for Game 7.
ReplyDelete3-0 might as well be 30-0. This team is toast.
ReplyDelete5-0. That's all folks
ReplyDeleteOnly way the Yankees stave off a sweep is if Cortes gives up a negative number of runs tomorrow.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteAgain gentlemen thanks for the kind words on my return to this blog
Im still not 100% and watching this farce of shamble (omnishables we call it here) I dont want to return to hospital again with a ruptured spleen
The worst thng of all is if we lose this series 4-0 they will polis a turd and say oh we were one series away from the World Series which we all know is absolute bollocks
As I understand it the Yankees dont display pennant flags like every other team does
Winnng the World Series or it is considered a poor season
I dont know what the answer is the press seem to go very easy on our manager and Cashman they should be tearing shreads off them for only 1 world series win since 2009
Ayway I hope something good happens in the rest of the game and ut us 17 minutes past midnight and I am too tired and weak to watch the rest of this joke play out
I wish you all well
Scottish. What took you so long?
ReplyDeleteInexcusable AB by Judge, who has turned into Josh Donaldson. Next stop Galloville.
ReplyDeleteGet this and tomorrow over quickly, but I just can’t stand the idea of Boone and Cashman coming back for another year. Can’t fucking stomach it.
How does the saying go? Bad association spoils useful habits. It was only a matter of time till he looked as lost at the plate as the other fools on this team of trash
DeleteUgly is as Ugly does.
ReplyDeleteThere appears to be no cure for these (our) Yankees :(
Boone blows seeds from his pie hole better than he manages
ReplyDeleteTry protecting the plate, Gleyber!
ReplyDeleteCarpenter is just gassed - such a shame
ReplyDelete(I’m just trying to provide content here as everyone else has exited this painful experience)
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteI think that Cashman and Hal should grab a bat and hit next inning
ReplyDeleteCastro on the mound- what (else) could go wrong
ReplyDeletePlease make it stop. Can we forfeit game 4?!
ReplyDeleteNope it’s gotta go the distance
ReplyDeleteThey simply cannot compete against a first-rate pitching staff. And, barring a miracle, now 10 straight games with 6 or fewer hits.
ReplyDeletePathetic, indeed.
But it's not even worth saying pathetic about. It's the same old, same old, completely predictable and depressing. This could just as well be the Detroit series in 2012, or Texas in 2010, or last year's single-game playoff appearance.
Awful.
If the Yankees were gonna play like this they should have stayed home
ReplyDeleteBloody awful
ReplyDeleteOh Donaldson is up!
ReplyDeleteYay!
Locastro running for Donaldson?
ReplyDeleteNo?
What the hell?
ReplyDeleteWhy is Donaldson still on the basepaths?
ReplyDeleteSadly, this just validates Boone-intern.
ReplyDeleteI like Carpenter. it's not his fault. but JESUS, no!
I smell fertilizer
ReplyDeleteRIZZO :(
ReplyDeleteYou could have Cy Young pitching - we don't, by the way - but you still need to get some hits in order to win.
ReplyDeleteThink Judge is due? Feel free to answer
ReplyDeleteIf you have a rash or other unsightly side effects - please stop watching Yankees baseball
ReplyDeleteGlad Donaldson held up on that one and didn’t attempt to score. Thank god for his base running acumen
ReplyDeleteHal is at the stadium, right? Hal gives a shit, right? Hal really cares, right?
ReplyDeleteMr. bit, spot on as usual.
ReplyDeleteNow to bed. Not worth watching any further.
I will listen to the Master tomorrow, just to hear if he bids farewell.
Actually my glasses are always 70% full
ReplyDeleteThey'll get no hit tomorrow
ReplyDeleteI have faith that Nestor will pitch a gem tomorrow
ReplyDeleteAA, Mrs. Teasdale is quite good at that.
ReplyDeleteCashman wrote the stories for Onley & Sherman weeks ago. Injuries derailed this offense. But on the bright side all these losers are back next year and lose in the WC games.
ReplyDeleteAnd Nasty deserves to as German now has back to back walks
ReplyDeleteI mean, if I didn't know any better, I'd almost think they were one-hitting us or something. THAT would be unthinkable, though, right? Didn't Michael Kay or some other Gammonite just say that they were "built for the post-season"?
ReplyDeleteTHIS IS BRIAN'S TEAM.
HAL LETS HIM STAY.
GEORGE NEGLECTED HAL.
HAL HATES THE YANKEES.
BY EXTENSION, THEN, HAL HATES US.
MEMORAIZE THAT QUADRATIC EQUATION, KIDDIES.
FUCK HAL, FUCK CASHMAN, FUCK BOONIE AND BLITZEN...
Tomorrow will be a wake.
ReplyDeleteRufus - good to hear! I start making our west coast, homemade pizza dinner after the game
ReplyDeleteTHE WHOLE TEAM SHOULD DROP ACID BEFORE THE TAME TOMORROW. What have they got to lose?
ReplyDeleteYou mean this ISN'T a wake?!
ReplyDeleteyou found a flower in the middle of the garbage dump, AA...
ReplyDeletegood point, Bosch, good point.
ReplyDeletemaybe they should just get a good glue bag going on the bench
It’s what I do - bagel dozen Bit!
ReplyDeleteOr Baker’s dozen Bit
ReplyDeleteIt almost seems like These Our 2022 Second Half New York Yankees have a deep flaw in their overall approach?
ReplyDeleteFork time.
ReplyDeleteCash's deadline Bader/Monty trade was horrifying. Among its effects was that Judge had to play CF for a few months. But then the boot came off, and Bader played well. The defense was there, and he hit. Cash redeemed. Until today.

This effectively ended the Yankees season. Tragedy? Irony? I don't know. But I do know the Ju Ju Gods enjoy making a fool of Brian Cashman.
ReplyDeleteFat Lady
ReplyDeleteTwo Down one to Go
ReplyDeleteYanks have never - NEVER - had just one hit in a playoff game. Seriously?! OMFG!! This is historically pathetic!!
ReplyDeleteCarpenter again
ReplyDelete10 strikeouts, 2 hits.
ReplyDeleteTwo Hitter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteCarp is on fire!!
ReplyDeleteanyone thinks they'll score 5 with 2 out?
ReplyDeleteNot me
ReplyDeleteYay! Donaldson to the rescue!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is where the tide turns!
That iceberg? No problem, this old Titanic has power brakes...
Fuck.
ReplyDeletethanks HAL!
ReplyDeletewait, I meant FUCK YOU!
hasta la season motherfuckers.
And so it goes, indeed
ReplyDeleteI can't believe Donaldson struck out. NEVER would have seen THAT one coming.
But I know that Hal will be in the locker room to cheer them on.
Hal cares. Hal really really really cares.
to recall a chant from my childhood days in Yonkers...
ReplyDeleteBUNGALOW BAR TASTES LIKE TAR,
THE MORE YOU EAT IT, THE SICKER YOU ARE.
why do I keep coming back for more?
No Yankee has ever deserved boos more than Josh Donaldson deserves boos.
ReplyDeleteThe really sad part is by next season nothing really will change. Oh, maybe a few things on the surface but the core of the problems will remain. We will all get excited, get sucked in, get our hopes up, and dream the dream but will inevitably be let down again. Rinse, repeat.
ReplyDeleteFree Pizza at my place
ReplyDeleteThere will be a big change next year. Very big. Aaron Judge will not be a Yankee.
ReplyDeleteThanks AB
ReplyDeleteJudge telling Hal "it's me or Cashman", and Hal picking Judge, is this franchise's only hope.
ReplyDeleteYes AB
ReplyDeleteThey're going have to name Jeter GM.
ReplyDeleteThat's the only move that will make us happy.
He will fire Boone. (and hire Mattingly) He will cut Donaldson, find someone to take Stanton, trade gleyber, and all the other shit moves that have to be made to clear the decks.
They need to restore fire and pride.
ReplyDeleteWatching my Chipmunks now. It might well be over. Being a rookie here, what do you folks do in the off season?
Bitch about Cashman
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteAA...I like that free pizza offer. You folks want to come out to my place in Where The Fuck Are We I will entertain you all with a bonfire and some smoked meats. Also music.
ReplyDeleteJust let me know.
Cashman's teams are built to last from April to June
ReplyDeleteSomewhere Gary Sanchez is eating ice cream and laughing at this catastrophe
ReplyDeleteMildred, we keep assembling here, thinking out loud, dreaming, dying, ruminating, conjuring. And waiting. Lots of waiting. So we get to talking to each other and look towards Spring.
ReplyDeleteBut let us enjoy tomorrow's game first...
I had to miss the game today .... thank God.
ReplyDeleteRemember how this team looked in May? Doesn't that seem like years and years ago?
Mildred, we have a whole winter to dissect, to analyze, to speak truth to power.
ReplyDeleteSame bad taste. Fewer postsesason wins!
ReplyDeleteAB - I can overnight a veggie slice to you.
ReplyDeleteAnd - before I forget- remember:
LOSE GAMES HARD!
Not much else to say is there?
ReplyDeleteMay our suffering be short tomorrow!
I want to see Nestor go seven tomorrow - one hit nastiness - to cap off his season
ReplyDeleteNestor deserves a strong outing and a win
ReplyDeleteDeal AB - just need to know where over here is when the time comes :)
ReplyDeleteGO NASTY!
That is true sacrifice, Anon Bosch! Thanks for tuning in. And thanks all for tuning in to this delightful season.
ReplyDeleteThe end will be a relief!
ReplyDeleteNo need to listen for the Fat Lady to sing. Though I think I can hear Don Meredith in the background.
Take me out to the bowel game.
ReplyDeletePerhaps, in a true poetic sense, the best thing to hope for tonight is Nestor to go 7 SO innings and then we lose 1-0.
ReplyDeleteThen if there is a Divine Being, Hal will fire BaBoone for his inability to manage a MLB team, fire Cashman because he has taken on that peculiar fragrance of eggs left on the porch in August for 2 weeks and then he will sell the team and devote his life to his true passion-soccer.

Judge will be interesting this off-season, esp. with him have such a poor playoffs. What is he worth? and for how many years?
And, all winter long it will be who's on Second, who's at SS.
Cue Abbott and Costello
what a miserable ending to an otherwise fun season.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, the season was over at the trade deadline. Thanks to the ca$hole intern.
ReplyDelete
