I suppose the simplistic idea behind the Judge order is just to perhaps squeeze in another AB for him. This isn’t Casey Stengel here you know…
Wasn’t DJL quoted the other day saying how great his foot was feeling? I guess he’s taking lessons from Boone.
Bad news about Ef-Ross, but if we’re doing honest he really wasn’t going to move the needle much anyway. Cashman’s failure is now almost complete, it just needs to be punctuated by having Darth Bader go 0-15 in the series. Maybe Bob Klapisch can spit Cashman’s dick out of his mouth long enough to write about this.
Series prediction? Cleveland 3 games to 1, which is also my prediction for tonight’s game, CLE 3 NY 1.
Cole and Gallo are a lot alike. Whenever anyone gets a hit off Acecole he goes all big-eyed like he can’t believe that happened. Just like when Joey heads back to the dugout.
going to start a zoom meeting now. It'll be open, but I have to walk the dog, so if I don't respond immediately, I'm out and will be back in 15 minutes.
if nobody is there then, no problem, I'll just shut it down.
if you ARE there, though, I'll turn on my video and try to talk. I don't get TBS, so if you're watching keep the game on, but you may have to mute yourself or the TV so we don't get feedback.
Bitty, I won't be joining tonight, but I like this. We did a mass zoom drunk for my medical school reunion. I am completely exhausted for work. I had a young colleague pass away due to cervical cancer and now my mom is in ICU. I had tickets but I skipped the game.
ok folks, I'm going to shut it down and wheel the rocket back to the launch pad. I will do this again, although the ID changes every time. we will make it happen. PLUS we can do it the whole hot stove league
Like gremlins, you probably don't want to see me after sundown. Kinda gruesome in a bad 50s movie sorta way. Then again, this crowd is kinda sick and twisted...
What is the max fine allowed ti be levied against a player? That should be the punishment along with being pulled from the game for Donaldson. But Boone has allowed that shit from Day One Can you imagine how Billy Martin or Earl Weaver would have reacted?
Bob Costas was just telling some story about Boone's deep commitment to the history and integrity of the game of baseball but he neglected to explain how letting Josh Donaldson get away with running into an out because he has his head up his butt fits that narrative.
JM - You are right. Now with a little cushion (Thanks Rizz!) Cole should go one more. If he does and holds them right here, this would go down as Cole's best game so far in pinstripes.
I don't understand why Cole did not get to finish that inning out. His he an ACE or not? Imagine Ron Guidry, Jimmy Key, Andy Pettitte, or David Cone being pulled this early?
Lasagna's name reminds me of the Puerto Rican neighborhood just east of me. Known as Loisaida, which an old friend never understood until he realized it was the heavily accented pronunciation of Lower East Side. I love New York.
So my colleague was 42 years old. She had a horrific cervical cancer. She left a husband and two children, 9 and 7. She was my friend but I couldn't help her grief. Not sure anyone could have. You degenerate lot help me cope day in and day out. Thank you Commentariat, you degenerate drunken louts.
Winnie, that sucks. Cancer is so draining on everyone involved. I beat colon cancer, but in some ways, watching what it did to my wife and kids was the worst part. I was lucky and they caught it in Stage 3, when I took my much put off colonoscopy. [Do get them gang. The prep stinks, pun intended, but by the time the average person has the symptoms, you are in Stage 4. Luckily, I avoided a live long "hip bag:" by the skin of my teeth.]
Cancer is insular and you just deal with it. The people around you just look on and worry. I would wish that on nobody, except child rapists of course,

I still don't get the Judge leading off thing. And Donaldson should be eighth, behind IKF and Trevino.
ReplyDeleteFucking Astros are threatening with two out, bottom of the ninth.
ReplyDeleteMotherfuckers.
ReplyDeleteI suppose the simplistic idea behind the Judge order is just to perhaps squeeze in another AB for him. This isn’t Casey Stengel here you know…

Houston just got 3 in the bottom of the ninth, hr by Alvarez. Seattle blows the game.
ReplyDeleteunreal
ReplyDeleteThey see destiny in the 9th, we’re about to see it in the first.
ReplyDeleteWatching on TBS is painful.
ReplyDeleteFor so many reasons.
and it begins - with IKF ...
ReplyDeleteNow their best hitter is up. HR anyone?
2 batters in, and we have our first error. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteIt really is amazing how often the left side of the infield makes errors when he pitches.
ReplyDeleteWatching IKF play SS is painful.
ReplyDeleteIKF in playoff form
ReplyDelete16 pitches still one out
ReplyDeleteBut Peraza wasn't good enough to make the team Yeeeeesh.
ReplyDeleteSeattle in playoff form too.
ReplyDeleteAnd Donaldson dropped the throw.
ReplyDeleteCole on pace for 5-inning energy.
ReplyDeleteLong top of the first, but we held ‘em.
ReplyDeleteTook Cole 24 pitches to get out of the inning. He'll need to be more efficient than that.
ReplyDeleteNo worries. Yankees have a well-stocked bullpen.
ReplyDeleteEmphasis on the bull, Hinckey.
ReplyDeleteCole is not sharp tonight. He'll be gone in five, if he goes that far.
Cole and Gallo are a lot alike. Whenever anyone gets a hit off Acecole he goes all big-eyed like he can’t believe that happened. Just like when Joey heads back to the dugout.
ReplyDeletestanton bailing out again
ReplyDeleteIKF bails out Quantrill by swinging at the first pitch.
ReplyDeleteAce
ReplyDeleteColace.
ReplyDeleteAcehole
ReplyDeleteWhat a loser.
ReplyDelete36 million fucking dollars.
ReplyDelete50 pitches with one out in the third. With a depleted bullpen.
ReplyDeleteNestor shoulda started. Cole sucks in the postseason.
ReplyDeleteHe hasn't shown he's the top pitcher on the Yankees staff all year. Why do they keep stroking his ego?
ReplyDeleteThere isn’t a person here who doesn’t agree with you, JM.
ReplyDeleteMore outstanding defense. Here comes the grand slam.
ReplyDeletePlatoni
ReplyDeleteI don't know. Plus the Yankees are playing uptight.
Nice play by Trevino (not)
ReplyDeleteCole needs to get this guy here.
ReplyDeleteI already hate Colace's post season legacy.
ReplyDeleteuh oh... somebody didn't get the call.....
ReplyDeleteThat was strike 3
ReplyDeleteEven the umps are against us.
ReplyDeleteI'm doing an ad hoc experiment.
ReplyDeletegoing to start a zoom meeting now. It'll be open, but I have to walk the dog, so if I don't respond immediately, I'm out and will be back in 15 minutes.
if nobody is there then, no problem, I'll just shut it down.

maybe see you all in a bit
Meeting ID: 879 2595 9589
Passcode: 232491
ReplyDeleteFucking miracle.
Not a Higashioka fan, but he had the second highest BA for the Yanks after Judge. Trevino…not so much.
ReplyDeleteMASTER BADER!!!!
ReplyDeleteBootsy, baby!!!
ReplyDeleteA Bader tater!
ReplyDeleteHarrison garrisons one in the left field seats!
ReplyDeleteBader said Later
ReplyDeleteBitty, I won't be joining tonight, but I like this. We did a mass zoom drunk for my medical school reunion. I am completely exhausted for work. I had a young colleague pass away due to cervical cancer and now my mom is in ICU. I had tickets but I skipped the game.
ReplyDeleteI’m sorry I didn’t give that justice. He sang it like…. Ohhhhhhh I’m just Wild about Har-ree
ReplyDeleteBit, it's a great idea, but I'm too wired to get on Zoom. Or is that drunk? Maybe both
ReplyDeleteCal is Paul's kid.
ReplyDeleteI like Bootsy, Baby!
ReplyDeleteChrist, Win, that's a lot to deal with. Hope your mom will be ok. Sorry about your colleague. Just awful.
ReplyDeleteFrom Katie sharp
ReplyDelete"Gerrit Cole has allowed at least 1 HR in 7 straight postseason games.
That's tied for the longest streak by a pitcher in MLB postseason history."
Two very good plays there.
ReplyDeleteMom is 88, but we have a saying in my family regarding my mom: evil never dies.
ReplyDeleteColace threw and 8 pitch inning. Good fielding there. I'm liking Oz-Oh!
ReplyDeleteThat last called strike was 5 inches lower than the one called a ball a couple inning ago. Doncha love consistent umps?
ReplyDeleteok folks, I'm going to shut it down and wheel the rocket back to the launch pad. I will do this again, although the ID changes every time. we will make it happen. PLUS we can do it the whole hot stove league
ReplyDeleteWinnie,
ReplyDeleteHoping for best possible outcome.
I'll give a fuckity fuck for fuck's sake.
Thanks for the attempt, Bit. We'll do it one day soon.
ReplyDeleteGODDAMM, WE NEED SOME JUJU! LEZ GO!
ReplyDeleteWin, my mom had a triple bypass when she was 88. Made it to 96. Hope your family celebrated 100 with her.
ReplyDeleteMr. bit,
ReplyDeleteLike gremlins, you probably don't want to see me after sundown. Kinda gruesome in a bad 50s movie sorta way. Then again, this crowd is kinda sick and twisted...
Celebrates, not celebrated.
ReplyDeleteWinnie, that's a lot. Sorry to hear.
ReplyDeleteWinnie sorry you’re going through all of that…
ReplyDeleteBader masters that fly ball.
ReplyDeleteThe Colace is at 85 pitches after five.
At least he's only given up one HR.
Fucking Donaldson. Admiring and trotting, and didn't go out.
ReplyDeleteDonaldson is a fucking idiot! Run it the fuck out!!!!!It's the playoffs
ReplyDeleteDonaldson
ReplyDeleteDFA Donalddumb
ReplyDeleteDonaldDaddySon goes long!
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteOld veteran. What a fucking asshole
Why can’t this idiot just run until the umpire signals? Christ. What a preening douchebag.
ReplyDeleteWhat a dumb fuck…
ReplyDeleteFucking jerk.
ReplyDeleteDonaldson should be led off the field by Boone. An embarrassment to the team.
ReplyDeleteDonaldDaddySon is a buffoon
ReplyDeleteDonaldson is the biggest piece of shit on this team
ReplyDeleteand right after Costas gave this long speech about how the Guardians hustle and run out everything.
ReplyDeleteIt had John fooled, but he’s like almost 90.
ReplyDeleteA good manager benches that guy immediately and puts IKF at third. Jesus.
ReplyDeleteHe Bucknered that…
ReplyDeleteJM i just texted that to my friend. Should have chewed him out too.
ReplyDeleteThank God Ralph pasted one and got to third.
ReplyDeleteIt's 3-1 if Donaldson isn't an idiot.
ReplyDeleteReally, Doug, that's unconscionable. How managers let guys get away with that shit is ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteI would like to write a poem about what Donaldson just did. What rhymes with "Knoblauch"?
ReplyDeleteHemlock
ReplyDeleteWhat is the max fine allowed ti be levied against a player? That should be the punishment along with being pulled from the game for Donaldson.
ReplyDeleteBut Boone has allowed that shit from Day One
Can you imagine how Billy Martin or Earl Weaver would have reacted?
Dickhead?
ReplyDeleteCan you imagine that happening on a 50s or 60s, 70s, or 90s Yankees team?
ReplyDeleteKing George would've released him ASAP.
ReplyDeleteNow I’m trying to remember which dickhead I was referring to.
ReplyDeleteSo many to choose from, Dick.
ReplyDeleteI'll give Cole this, he made adjustments and righted the ship. He should go seven, unless Boone is an idiot.
ReplyDeleteAnd, you know....
How about Dumbflauch?
ReplyDeleteBob Costas was just telling some story about Boone's deep commitment to the history and integrity of the game of baseball but he neglected to explain how letting Josh Donaldson get away with running into an out because he has his head up his butt fits that narrative.
ReplyDeleteEat that, Ohtani.
ReplyDeleteExactly, mik.
ReplyDeleteRizzzzz!!!
ReplyDeleteRizzo!!!
ReplyDeleteNobody beats the Riz
ReplyDeleteNo-body!
ReplyDeleteRIZZZZZZZZZOOOOOOO
ReplyDeleteJM - You are right. Now with a little cushion (Thanks Rizz!) Cole should go one more. If he does and holds them right here, this would go down as Cole's best game so far in pinstripes.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a believer, but as a long time ad guy, I have to say that Jesus campaign is pretty good.
ReplyDeleteMatlock
ReplyDeleteCrazzzyy Rizzzzzooo he’s insane!
ReplyDeleteHe's Crazy Eddie's son
DeleteThat's insane!
Deletehttps://youtu.be/Ml6S2yiuSWE
DeletePop Rock also rhymes with Knoblauch
ReplyDeleteSuzyn says Cole doesn’t look like a man who is done. I got these terrible Sabbathia flash backs. He could never get past the 6th later on…
ReplyDeleteOUT after one baserunner.
ReplyDeleteagain IKF. Peraza.......
ReplyDeleteLasagna. Hope it's the good Lasagna.
ReplyDeleteNow comes then scary part.
ReplyDeleteRufus you got your wish.
ReplyDeleteI dunno, Doug. Maybe Slob Rock.
ReplyDeleteShit dragon promo.
ReplyDeleteThese last 8 outs may be a wild ride.
ReplyDeleteWtf with the dragon shitshow?
ReplyDeleteNo one likes stale Lasagna…
ReplyDeleteThis begins Aaron Boone’s quest to find the most ineffective relief pitcher & piss away the lead.
ReplyDeleteI thought Peralta was out????
ReplyDeleteThe lasagna is fresh tonight, apparently.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand why Cole did not get to finish that inning out. His he an ACE or not? Imagine Ron Guidry, Jimmy Key, Andy Pettitte, or David Cone being pulled this early?
ReplyDeleteHe's back, Rufus.
ReplyDeleteLasagna's name reminds me of the Puerto Rican neighborhood just east of me. Known as Loisaida, which an old friend never understood until he realized it was the heavily accented pronunciation of Lower East Side. I love New York.
We have Loisaida street signs here. It's great.
ReplyDeleteCole doesn't have 9 lives. He wasted a few on Donaldson baserunning fuckup and ikf error.
ReplyDeleteAnother Donaldson baserunning adventure.
ReplyDeleteDonaldson has no fucking idea what he’s doing out there. NONE.
ReplyDeleteJM, I was one of those street signs!
ReplyDeleteI have a W 42 ST. A cherished souvenir.
Hell, JM, where are you? I'm in the far West Village for many decades now. Can't afford to stay, can't afford to leave.
ReplyDeleteI never hated donaldumb that much, but sheesh!?!
ReplyDeleteAnd that's it for Lasagna.
ReplyDeleteBit, I was on 10th Street between A and B for 30 years, been on St. Mark's east of Second the past three.
ReplyDeleteHad to move, went from an 1100 square foot place to a 1350 square foot place. We have a spare room. So odd for NYC.
ReplyDeleteSo jackass booooone leaves a RHP in to pitch to a LH batter, Then after he gets a hit he pulls him for a LHP.
ReplyDeleteBoone is the only Mgr. who would do that. That is why he is considered the worst Mgr. In MLB, and not just around these parts.
The closest and storage space is crazy.
ReplyDeleteBoone is an idiot. But such a nice guy.
ReplyDeleteNice by Peralta.
ReplyDeleteWay to go Wandy way to go.
ReplyDeleteNo pan for Wendy.
ReplyDeleteApologies to Mary Martin.
ReplyDeleteSo Bit, where you at? We should get a cawfee, as my sister says it.
ReplyDeleteMy 6th favorite Martin.
ReplyDeleteRizzzzzoooo
ReplyDelete
ReplyDelete1) Don
2) Dean
3) Doc
And as first name..
4) Mull
5) E (With a twist)
Thank God for Rizzo s glove.
ReplyDeleteThat was a good pick by The Riz!
ReplyDeleteRizzo just saved IKF's bacon. Thank goodness The Riz really came to play today.
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to Martin Mull, anyway?
ReplyDeleteEveryone knows it's Wandy!!
ReplyDeleteWandy has starry eyes that flash at the sound of lies. Otherwise known as bad calls.
ReplyDeleteUh oh, it's Dice Clay.
ReplyDeleteHBP. One pitch.
ReplyDeleteThe horror...
ReplyDeleteThu-uhuhuhuhuh HBP first thing you fucker!!!???
ReplyDeleteHickory Dickory Dock...
ReplyDeleteI'm already exhausted. FUCKER!!!!
ReplyDeleteIs there an echo in here?
ReplyDeleteGotta love the 'greeting' for jack straw
Yankees Win!!!
ReplyDeleteWell as bad as that was it turned out to be ok
ReplyDeleteThat's one.
ReplyDeleteWinnah!!
ReplyDeleteThu-uhuhuhuhuh-how the fuuck did this happen-thuuhuh-UHUHUHUH YANKEES FUCKING WIIIINNNNN!!!@@@@!!!!!!??!?!?!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteRufus, I remember the rest of that hickory dickery.
ReplyDeleteWho's got the link to The Master's warble?
ReplyDeleteAaaaasnnnndddd bedtime!
ReplyDeleteRizzo gets the MVP for this game!!!!!
ReplyDeleteFor you, JM...
ReplyDeleteMagic # is 10.
ReplyDeleteThat's right Hinkey - 10 more to go. Not asking too much - is it?
ReplyDeleteSo my colleague was 42 years old. She had a horrific cervical cancer. She left a husband and two children, 9 and 7. She was my friend but I couldn't help her grief. Not sure anyone could have. You degenerate lot help me cope day in and day out. Thank you Commentariat, you degenerate drunken louts.

ReplyDeleteBelliessima!
ReplyDeleteSorry about your friend Winnie. Fucking cancer, I’ve lost friends + family to it.
ReplyDeleteWinny - Our thoughts are (FÛCKING) with you!
ReplyDeleteWinnie, that sucks. Cancer is so draining on everyone involved.

Very sorry TheWinWarblist.
