I’m only 45, so who is the black guy? I’m sure if he brawls I like him…

Doug K. said...

Cliff Johnson.

I just pulled the picture because I forgot that his most famous fight was in the Yankee locker room and he hurt Goose Gossage.

So that would be bad luck.

Doug K. said...

I'll open it up to the group. Whose picture should I put up?

Beauregard Jackson Pickett Burnside said...

Lou Pinella

Nope changed mind, Nettles for taking out a red sock.

Bill Lee

Doug K. said...

The Nettles photo is up.

Two errors to start the game BTW. yikes.

Beauregard Jackson Pickett Burnside said...

Really? I thought Volpe was out of the lineup.

Beauregard Jackson Pickett Burnside said...

Suzyn just brought up local favorite Carl Pavano and his “half mound”. Rodon ain’t coming soon was her point.

Great pix, Doug!

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Volpe needs rest.

Beauregard Jackson Pickett Burnside said...

Snooze fest of a game.

Beauregard Jackson Pickett Burnside said...

We need a run, or a punch.

Doug K. said...

leaving cole in feels like a mistake

Doug K. said...

Yep. not good.

Beauregard Jackson Pickett Burnside said...

Three batter rule :). And Volpe :)

Beauregard Jackson Pickett Burnside said...

Ahh the error prone little putz.

AboveAverage said...

Nolpe

Beauregard Jackson Pickett Burnside said...

Doulpe!

ranger_lp said...

That might have been our last chance…

ranger_lp said...

Another Tony error…

Beauregard Jackson Pickett Burnside said...

Little bastard.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Rut ro

AboveAverage said...

Golly - guess that didn’t work out so well

AboveAverage said...

Rufus said Rut ro - do you think he knows how funny that was

Rufus T. Firefly said...

You mean funny, like a clown?

Do I amuuuuuse you?

Rufus T. Firefly said...

And don't call me Francis!

Publius said...

Deflating. More so as called by Shackil. He'd be fine as Royals or Rockies radio guy. That's whete he belongs. But this is the NY Yankees, and Rickie's in the goddamn building. Friend of the blog EBD doesn't strike me as someone with the patience or imagination to enjoy a baseball radio broadcast, but the best evidence for the theory that Yankees, Inc has, shall we say, underachieved in the promotion of employees of color is its insistence on Shackil over Rickie as The Master's heir apparent. In either language, Rickie calls a more entertaining game. It's not even close.

Beauregard Jackson Pickett Burnside said...

Ditto. Bring back John.

Volpe is the most Asian looking Italian I’ve ever seen.

Beauregard Jackson Pickett Burnside said...

That took about two seconds to google… his mom is Filipino. So the race thing we can put the bed.

Kevin said...

Their was a story that I read that said Nettles kicked Reggie's ass at a celebration party. I believe that it was in Sparky's book. Anyone recall the event?

HoraceClarke66 said...

Well, Small Game came through for a change. But this is the second series in a row in which one more hit would've enabled the Yanks to really put a dagger in a major division contender.

The truth is that this NYY team just doesn't have that in them.

They used to be a team ALMOST able to make the World Series. Now, increasingly, they are ALMOST able to compete. Soon they will ALMOST be respectable.

No worries Doug.
