As opposed to this guy...


Plus we had these two.


Not 



Enjoy the game.

Is this one of those "lineup picked out of a hat" things?

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Doug, thanks for cheering us up.

Now to my martini. It *is* Friday.

Doug K. said...

Do you think when they show the split screen pictures of the past players from both teams they will have the balls to show Sonny Gray?

Ulta Fiber Reds Radio…. Wow “the Rees are on radio” jingle is dated. Not classic like Bundin Stallman’s etwrnal Here Come the Yankees…. But more of a “we built this city” vibe. Awful.

Doug K. said...

Judge has just been punishing that part of the park. Deep to right center.

Beauregard Jackson Pickett Burnside said...

We built this city… on Aaaarrrun Judge.

You know Mr Firefly - that would have been the solution to so many problems but - there it is. Hicks remains. (must be a Lyft-guy)

Beauregard Jackson Pickett Burnside said...

Reds announcers roasted Hicks. They thanked him for the easy out and swinging at a ball a foot above the umps head.

Publius said...

Wait until tomorrow to act on the Sadak recommendation I made earlier. Good as he is, he can't overcome these abominable uniforms. Back to radio. Shackil gets a reprieve.

Beauregard Jackson Pickett Burnside said...

Is Sadak on TV? I was listening to the radio. They must hate the uniforms because they haven’t mentioned them.

Doug K. said...

This umpire blows!

Doug K. said...

The umps are out of control.

What is Higgy smashing his bat for? What did he figure he was likely to do in that AB?

TheWinWarblist said...

Biggest Best Aaron? Check! Big Tony? Check and check!!

Doug K. said...

Higgy is feeling extra pressure because Ben Rodtvedt (sp.) was supposed to be our starting catcher and now he's finally going to play. The Yankees got Trevino to take Ben's place as the starter and he made the All Star game last year so When Trevino comes back Higgy might get released or at a minimum sent down.

Unwavering positivity!!

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Winnie,

Are you sure you're on the right website?

I mean, positivity? Here?

Just saw this. RIP alpha male.

Pocono Steve said...

The bat smashing worked!

Beauregard Jackson Pickett Burnside said...

You just made me miss Brett Gardner.

TheWinWarblist said...

ThuuhuhuhuhUHUHAAAAAAAAUHUHUH AAaaaH Yankees win!!

TheWinWarblist said...

When are we going to the game???

ranger_lp said...

August 24th I believe …

Weren’t you also talking about a Renegades game also? I’m sort of in the neighborhood…

AboveAverage said...

I’m in California so I will not be able to attend ☹️

ranger_lp said...

The New York Yankees today announced that they have acquired OF Greg Allen from the Boston Red Sox in exchange for minor league RHP Diego Hernández and cash considerations

AboveAverage said...

Trading with the enemy. What the heck?

The Archangel said...

ranger_lp,
Why?

Isn't Tauchman available?

The Archangel said...

Cash considerations?

"I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today."

ranger_lp said...

Yo I don’t get it either…

AboveAverage said...

Nice Popeye reference. I salute you!

Publius said...

Sadak's on TV

HoraceClarke66 said...

Thank goodness Stanton is contributing so much this year.

Oasisdave said...

Could this mean they will FINALLY cut Hicks lose and just count it as a loss like Elsbury?

edb said...

Nice Photo of Barren Hicks.

Could this be true?
