Donaldson, meanwhile, gets a free ride, and announcers continue to gush over what a great third baseman he is. Especially ironic since IKF should be playing third, where he's better than Donaldson, and shouldn't be forced to play short, where he makes some mistakes and gets criticized for it. And Donaldson's mistakes are never mentioned.
The play Bonehead failed to make is subbing in LF in the 9th. Hicks' only use for being on the roster. Plus a very good defender in Locastro. What the fuck was he thinking? Sorry, bad assumption that he's capable.
That move would have prevented the need for Holmes, who was or wasn't available. As Severino said, go ask bonehead. A TOTAL FUCKING DISASTER.
And now tonight... Thank you sir, may I have another?
Waldo is OK at SS, but, but, but,bbbb..... He should bump IKF to third.
Then when you need the designated striker outer, you have the donald ahead of the two guys whose middle names should be "I can't believe I'm still on the roster" Hicks and Marwin. No more ex carmines and no more ex ASStros.
As always, you come through with the goods. And they are quite good. One man's trash is another man's manna from heaven.
Tangentially related note: AntMan was the inexplicable lead in to the horrid TBS pregame, but at least I got to see Stan Lee. I still think he is Bob Guccione's alter ego based on his cameos. My favorite is still Deadpool for some reason.
With the season on the line, Boone shits out the worst lineup of the series. Please, somebody in this organization with some authority, grow a fuckin’ pair and do everything in your power to remove him!
AA, it will end tonight or next week. Not with a trophy held high, but with bitter cold resentment and when winter and darkness fall upon us. But fear not! We will be here all offseason complaining and bitching. Join us for the flaming hot bitter hot stave league!
What about Bob? I ask sincerely. He is a really nice guy and a great storyteller but he has transformed into a terrible play-by-play announcer. Volume on mute, WFAN on the radio is the go-to.
I'm guessing the trouble with Bob is that he hasn't done this in so long, and he's wanted it so much, he thinks it's about him. I don't know for certain that he's doing the ALCS. Just being pessimistic.
There is no path forward for These Our 2022 Second Half New York Yankees ™. Continue to pitch Colace? Go to the pen? Clone The Great Rivera? Nothing will save us tonight.
Fun fact of the night: Colace has given up homeruns in eight consecutive post-season starts!!
We had a saying about pitchers like Colace in my old Strat'O'Matic league: He's a horse; he'll give you a lot on innings. Just not the kind of innings you want.
Judge ALWAYS conducts himself on the field THE WAY YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO! Please, JUJU Gods, let the Yankees sign Judge over the winter. Lock him up for life as a New York Yankee.
An excellent inning from Cole! Talk about a no-win scenario. This is the time, or close to it, that Cole usually runs out of gas. but there are zero options that bring confidence from the pen. I agree, let him pitch past the point of exhaustion.

How does Brian Cashman spell "scapegoat"? I-K-F
ReplyDeleteIs that freak bros.?

ReplyDeleteRufus, the cartoon has more to do with souvenir-store trash than undergound comix. Beautiful examples at the link.
ReplyDeletePivotal game and we get fuckin hicks....if only Peraza was on the team instead of fuckin Marwin

If it all ends tonight - it was a pleasure spending the season with all of you fine blokes and blokettes yes!
ReplyDeleteMustang,

ReplyDeleteAA,
ReplyDeleteYou're such a yes man.
BTR,
ReplyDeleteBoone has explosive bowel disorder that makes him shit out this fetid waste.
AA, it will end tonight or next week. Not with a trophy held high, but with bitter cold resentment and when winter and darkness fall upon us. But fear not! We will be here all offseason complaining and bitching. Join us for the flaming hot bitter hot stave league!
ReplyDeleteFuck.
Ruf, EBD you say, eh? hmmm…
ReplyDeleteSuzyn is saying this is what the Yankees got Colace for.
ReplyDeleteShe must know what is going to happen. And it is going to be ugly.
BTR,
ReplyDeleteAs Ed McMahon would say. You are correct sir!
Heh heh heh ...
ReplyDeleteBTR, shhhh!
ReplyDeleteWTF was that? Rizzzzo!
ReplyDeleteBad baseball teams make these kinds of mistakes.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteListening to Sterling as usual…. And I can promise you if the Yankees lose tonight it will not be to the Guardians.
ReplyDeleteBad teams play poor fundamental baseball and give away outs. What more do you need to know about These Our 2022 Second Half New York Yankees ™.
ReplyDeleteCole actually looks dialed in.
ReplyDeleteanother tater for Bader
ReplyDeleteI'm just wild about Harry
ReplyDeleteBootsie Bader!
ReplyDeleteMASTER BADER!!! MASTER BADER!!! MASTER BADER!!! MASTER BADER!!! MASTER BADER!!! MASTER BADER!!! MASTER BADER!!! MASTER BADER!!! MASTER BADER!!! MASTER BADER!!! MASTER BADER!!! MASTER BADER!!! MASTER BADER!!! MASTER BADER!!! MASTER BADER!!!
ReplyDeleteWHOOP!
ReplyDeleteAnd Harry's wild about me!
ReplyDeleteBoone- "Alright boys we got our 3 .. time to phone it in"
ReplyDeleteThe fans of the team that wins this series will then have to endure a best-of-seven shackled to Bob Costas.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait.
ReplyDeleteBootsy, baby. Suddenly he hits homers. Who knew?
ReplyDeleteWhat about Bob? I ask sincerely. He is a really nice guy and a great storyteller but he has transformed into a terrible play-by-play announcer. Volume on mute, WFAN on the radio is the go-to.
ReplyDeleteI can't get the Master to sync.
ReplyDeleteIs CostASS *really* going to do the LCS? Say it ain't so, Joe.
TBS actually had his mike turned down for the first inning or so. Not that I want to listen to Mr. Met, but better than a Karz4kidz ad.
TBS graphic: Colace is 13-1 when leading by 3 runs.
ReplyDeleteWell, until tonight.
Just remember, Cole is one donaldson fielding whoopsie away from a meltdown. At any time...
I'm guessing the trouble with Bob is that he hasn't done this in so long, and he's wanted it so much, he thinks it's about him. I don't know for certain that he's doing the ALCS. Just being pessimistic.
ReplyDeletehttps://awfulannouncing.com/mlb/bob-costas-mlb-postseason-entire-series.html
ReplyDeleteSeems like it is a sure thing. Just to torture us.
I'd vote for Ken Singleton and Cone.
Same fucking play! Unbelievable. That's three times!
ReplyDeleteThank yahweh we have a defensive specialist like hicks in LF.
ReplyDeleteBonehead boone should be drawn and quartered for playing hicksie.
ReplyDeleteHicks really proving his worth.
ReplyDeleteThe Master is roasting the universe over dropped pop ups.
ReplyDeleteI am so pissed the manfredites won't let me stream the video with the master overdub. FUCKING ASSHOLES make me listen to costASS.
ReplyDeleteColace needs a few quick innings to redeem himself from being a worthless POS.
ReplyDeleteUgh
ReplyDeleteA guy can dream, can't he.
ReplyDeleteWell not anymore.
Even the fouls are loud
ReplyDeleteCOLACE!!! COLACE!!! COLACE!!! COLACE!!! COLACE!!! COLACE!!! COLACE!!! COLACE!!! COLACE!!! COLACE!!! COLACE!!! COLACE!!! COLACE!!! COLACE!!! COLACE!!! COLACE!!! COLACE!!! COLACE!!! COLACE!!! COLACE!!! COLACE!!! COLACE!!! COLACE!!! COLACE!!! COLACE!!! COLACE!!! COLACE!!! COLACE!!! COLACE!!! COLACE!!! COLACE!!! COLACE!!! COLACE!!! COLACE!!! COLACE!!! COLACE!!! COLACE!!! COLACE!!! COLACE!!! COLACE!!!
ReplyDeleteLittle Game Gerrit is earning his money tonight
ReplyDelete36 mil. Life is good.
ReplyDeleteCole can't be allowed to pitch to top/middle of Cleveland's order again. Turn it over to the bullp...uh, yeah, scratch that. Go get 'em Gerrit.
ReplyDeleteHe brings new meaning to Cole in your stocking.
ReplyDeletePublius raises a good point. Who would we want to close tonight, assuming we have the lead? Can we get Mo out of retirement?
ReplyDeleteAre John and Suzyn not at the game????
ReplyDeleteThey don't know if it is raining!
How about Sparky Lyle?
ReplyDeleteWtf was Hicks doing?
ReplyDeleteRun a position player out to close.
ReplyDeleteI think Judge could do it
ReplyDeleteMaybe he thought it was caught in the air without bouncing?
ReplyDeleteWeissert. He is on the roster, right?
ReplyDeleteLook, there is no good choice.
"Wtf was Hicks doing" could be the title of our blog.
ReplyDeleteThere is no path forward for These Our 2022 Second Half New York Yankees ™. Continue to pitch Colace? Go to the pen? Clone The Great Rivera? Nothing will save us tonight.
ReplyDeleteFun fact of the night: Colace has given up homeruns in eight consecutive post-season starts!!
Torres not running hard again.
ReplyDeleteWeird play all around.
ReplyDeleteStang, I like it.
ReplyDeleteWe had a saying about pitchers like Colace in my old Strat'O'Matic league: He's a horse; he'll give you a lot on innings. Just not the kind of innings you want.
ReplyDeleteFuck.
Torres didn't run hard. In October.
ReplyDeleteThe sad thing is that I'm actually not shocked at this.
Yes, he thought it was caught. But if you're not 100 percent sure, you run like hell. It's a fucking elimination game.
Judge ran like you’re supposed to
ReplyDeleteJudge is good at baseball. He should be captain. If they sign him.
ReplyDeleteJudge ALWAYS conducts himself on the field THE WAY YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO! Please, JUJU Gods, let the Yankees sign Judge over the winter. Lock him up for life as a New York Yankee.
ReplyDeleteME: I understand the very simple thing you're saying.
ReplyDeleteBOB COSTAS: I'll explain again.
Nice googlie by Rizzo.
ReplyDeleteSac fly, nice going, Glass.
ReplyDeleteDonald daughter son!
ReplyDeleteCole has to keep pitching today until his arm falls off.
ReplyDeleteCostas said well struck. +1 from me.
ReplyDeleteAgreed JM - OR until he gives up three more home runs
ReplyDeleteOpen “letter” to Josh Donaldson:
ReplyDeleteGO AWAY!!!!!!
Although it’s been said many times, many ways…
ReplyDeleteDonaldson sucks.
Come on Cole…..we’re with you until we’re not
ReplyDeleteExactly
ReplyDeleteI read your mind, JM.
ReplyDeleteBy the way - how’s your wife doing?
Nice - 123 inning!
ReplyDeleteAn excellent inning from Cole! Talk about a no-win scenario. This is the time, or close to it, that Cole usually runs out of gas. but there are zero options that bring confidence from the pen. I agree, let him pitch past the point of exhaustion.
ReplyDeleteA bit better. She and I are both fighting a little cold, but the other stuff is better than a week or two ago. Thanks for asking.
ReplyDeleteAA, living with cancer feels like the Pit and the Pendulum. You never get totally relaxed.
ReplyDeleteAbout 90 pitches for Cole. That was very good work.
ReplyDeleteWe need 120 tonight. If not a Cone 145.
ReplyDeleteMany of my family have had that exact same experience, JM.
ReplyDeleteIt’s never easy.
You just try to do the best that you can
Exactly Publius
ReplyDeleteBob, Francona has an advantage over Boone when he wakes up in the morning.
ReplyDeleteYeah, AA. It ain't a fun ride.
ReplyDeleteAll the best to your family JM. Be well
ReplyDeleteNot a great play by the great center fielder.
ReplyDeleteThanks, mik.
ReplyDeleteD. R. A. M. A.
ReplyDeleteGlove first CF...
ReplyDeleteBoone managing yesterday's game. Getting Holmes up to0 EARLY!
ReplyDeleteCole is fired up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteNice pitching. Hope they send him out for the eighth.
ReplyDeleteI’m thinking Cole is doing pretty well tonight
ReplyDeleteTwo innings of Holmes sounds dicey. Send Cole back out.
ReplyDeleteColace is done for the evening.
ReplyDeleteThey should put Robertson in for an inning, them John Holmes.
Wait, what?
The only dick around here is Dick Allen.
ReplyDeleteWHY the FUCK do they carry thirty five pitchers and have to have Peralta up now?
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling that going to Wendy would be one too many times.
ReplyDeleteAnyone else smelling that choke coming on?
ReplyDeleteGot lucky with that call.
ReplyDeleteHe's got a legit beef.
ReplyDeleteHey, Dave, in two hours Eastern time it'll be midnight at the oasis.
ReplyDeleteWhen you lean on Peralta too often, you invariably fall over.
ReplyDeleteComplain about Costas as you will, but the best thing about the playoffs is no Kay or Goofball O'Neill.
ReplyDeleteWhy do they have other relievers on the roster.
ReplyDeleteSeriously? WHY?
We have to use Holmes for the ninth. We can't worry about tomorrow if there isn't one.
ReplyDeleteI do miss Cone on the broadcast.
ReplyDeleteTwo runs is not enough.
ReplyDeleteHolmes out here making Boone look like an idiot for yesterdays game
ReplyDeleteRobo umps. Please.
ReplyDeleteI'm in on robo umps. I just want to know -- does everyone get the same strikezone? or will Judge's be 3 times the size of the midget troll in houston?
ReplyDelete3 outs before 2 runs. Simple really. Except Holmes has no clue where he's throwing the ball. Ah well, we'll see.
ReplyDeleteI am dreading this inning. And fearing it.
ReplyDeleteEveryone knows it's Wendy. Two outs.
ReplyDeleteOne out away.........
ReplyDeleteWandy. He threw a lot of pitches last night.
ReplyDeleteTHHHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH YANNNKKKEEEEEEEEEEEES WINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYankees Win!!!
ReplyDeleteHOLY COW
ReplyDeleteOhmygod. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteWOWOWOWOWOWOWOOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow. So the torture continues.
ReplyDeleteCole actually showed up…
ReplyDeleteBoring, quick 9th innings are good.
ReplyDeleteAnd now, da Bronx.
ReplyDeleteYeah, Bern, that was fast.
ReplyDeleteBoone is a genius
ReplyDeleteI should watch games on runways more often. Back to the Bronx!
ReplyDeleteA fast clean game is wonderful
ReplyDeleteWoo hoo!
ReplyDelete9 more please.
ReplyDeleteCole was reserved and classy during his post game, TBS interview. Me likes it!
ReplyDeleteSuzyn got his catcher.
ReplyDeleteHave to give credit to Cole. He had a very good start in Game 1, and tonight was BIG. VERY BIG.
ReplyDeleteCan we somehow pull out another win tomorrow?
If I was privileged enough to be able to post a post here I would ask:
ReplyDeleteIf you could ask Boone to do one thing in game five of this series - what would you ask him to do?
Resign
ReplyDeleteI would ask him to get me a pass to the Owner's Box where I could load up on prime rib and old scotch.
ReplyDeleteMay I join you, Stang - because that sounds wonderful . . .
ReplyDeleteYou bet, AA
ReplyDeleteNot too fucking bad.
ReplyDeleteCole, Peralta, Holmes...we give them their props. They came through.
Now we have to let the demons loose, back in the Bronx. "Mystique and Aura, appearing nightly!"
