Setback Sevy is smelling the paycheck!
Wait a minute. Clarke Schmidt has a nasty new cutter!
Speaking of Nastiness, don't forget Nestor!
Barney Miller's Fish predicts a great year!
We're not so old and craggy that this day shall go uncherished. Today, everyone is happy. Everyone is safe. Everyone is on the cusp of a great season. Here's to newly discovered unhittable pitches!
This post reminds me of the old Phyllis Diller joke about her hope chest, that ended "but with my chest, there's no hope."
ReplyDeleteAnd I also remember the Yankees pre-season press jaunts with Ralph Houk that stopped at a "motor inn" near the Albany Thruway exit. We always had some kids who "really look good" and veterans who wanted to "get back in form" from their pathetic prior season.
Nothing changes. We just get older.

ReplyDeleteIt's like we're all playing Spring Training BINGO.
ReplyDeleteSchmidt's new pitch is definitely a square.
Still waiting on:
"How Fatherhood Has Given Donaldson/Gleyber's Bat New Life"
"IKF ready to accept whatever role he is given."
and "Hicks chips in on 18th to win the Clambake"
I'll keep saying it...you want a pitcher to replace Montas...go get Bauer...he's out there...
ReplyDeleteRanger - Cole HATES Bauer from their college days. HATES him. Ain't happening.
ReplyDeletePecota nonsense!

ReplyDeleteCan you get me off the hook Tom? For old time's sake.
Can't do it, Sally. I mean, Trevvy.
ReplyDeleteHope you’re talking about Hank Bauer and not the racist, sexist, anti-Semitic, conspiracy promulgating shit wrapped in skit entity named Trevor Bauer. Fuck him and the horse he rode in on.
ReplyDelete@ranger_lp re. Bauer
ReplyDeleteI don't see why not. And it certainly fits in with classic Yankee playbook principles. One a-hole leaves, another a-hole comes in. Now that they've got rid of Cowboy Chapman, they've got to replace him with another reprobate. Can't have the club too thin on reprobates. They make us the bad ass club that we are. Bauer and German, together in the rotation, enough to make all the feminists out there cringe and crawl into a hole. It's too bad Cowboy Chapman is gone to KC, that would've our version of the Nasty Boys: Bauer, German & Chapman. They could've all worn white wife beater shirts the CSS (Choke, Slap & Shoot Club).
@Doug K. Didn't know that. But maybe if they bring in someone like Bauer, it'll light a fire under Cole's ass and bring some life to the party. Nothin' like competition to bring out the best in your employees. Bring it on!

ReplyDeleteThis X100.
There a reason (or the above list of reasons) why no one will touch him.
He's going to end up throwing axes is an underground snuff bar in Bangkok for shots of whiskey.
Actually, I just remembered he's a multimillionaire, so he's going to end up OWNING an underground snuff bar in Bangkok.
Fuck him.
Tell Mike it was only business. I always liked him.
ReplyDeleteThe gyro ball? Do the red sucks still have that guy? Was he boiled in oil inJapan?
ReplyDeleteI think Trevor and Cole can get over their differences if it means winning a World Series...
ReplyDeleteI've seen some videos of Trevor striking out high schoolers and college players...he's an ok guy...he just had a bad situation with a woman...really...REALLY...go on YouTube and see...
