Celerino Sanchez said...: 14; May 1, 2023 at 1:05 PM

4 @ TOR (1-3)

I'll go with 13 wins, 16 losses.

But a lot rides on what news we get about Aaron Judge later today.; May 1, 2023 at 1:12 PM
BTR999 said...: 12-17

Fun times; May 1, 2023 at 1:16 PM
Carl J. Weitz said...: With these hitters and outfield defense 12 wins, 17 losses.
I should probably wait to see if Judge lands on the IL. But OK.; May 1, 2023 at 1:22 PM
AboveAverage said...: Golly gee willikers . . . . I am just so gosh darn conflicted . . .

AboveAverage said...: mr duque?

The Archangel said...: 14, cuz I've always been an optimist.; May 1, 2023 at 1:30 PM
Alphonso said...: We are a below .500 team, so I say 10 wins maximum for the month of May.; May 1, 2023 at 1:36 PM
Vampifella said...: I'll go with 13 wins as well. I'm hoping for a teardown this year, but then again the Yanks has so many terrible contracts that it probably wouldn't happen.; May 1, 2023 at 1:41 PM
DickAllen said...: SIX

The bed is about to be shat upon; May 1, 2023 at 1:47 PM

Carl J. Weitz said...: @ AA....Bragging rights.; May 1, 2023 at 3:24 PM
Platoni said...: 11 Wins
18 Losses
And The Master adds "...Finally!" after every "thuuuuuuuhh, Yankees, WIN!" warble; May 1, 2023 at 3:31 PM
Jaraxle said...: 14 wins; May 1, 2023 at 4:14 PM
Mildred Lopez said...: I'll be the optimist here...11; May 1, 2023 at 4:24 PM
BTR999 said...: In case you want to rethink

Loaisiga to have bone spur on elbow removed. Out until Aug-Sept
Trivino heading towards TJ. Surgery, would be out until 2025.

Judge scheduled to take BP tonight.; May 1, 2023 at 4:32 PM
MJ said...: For May, I'll go with 17-12. The bullpen isn't fully toasted yet (though Bazooka Joe is apparently being "advised" to set it aflame ASAP) so there might be another month of decent pitching. And this lineup is so cruddy that anyone temporarily above suck level might be able to get some energy flowing. But mostly I say 17 because the Yankees are the perfect team to raise hopes with a surge in May...and then crush those hopes in June. It'll be interesting to listen to.; May 1, 2023 at 4:43 PM
Hazel Motes said...: 12-17; May 1, 2023 at 5:24 PM
The Hammer of God said...: 5 wins in May, says I.; May 1, 2023 at 5:47 PM
Ken of Brooklyn said...: I'll say 13 games as well, just enough to lose, but not enough losses to truly shake things up,,,, typical Yankees. Though I can also see a complete freewill with this lineup!; May 1, 2023 at 6:16 PM
Ken of Brooklyn said...: Typo> Freefall; May 1, 2023 at 6:18 PM
ranger_lp said...: What the heck...going with 15...ya figure someone comes off the EL which will be named the SL soon...; May 1, 2023 at 6:18 PM
Oasisdave said...: I'm thinking 9; May 1, 2023 at 6:24 PM
Oasisdave said...: Also Judge to IL; May 1, 2023 at 6:25 PM
Kevin said...: 12-17

Loaisiga is the kind of pitcher that smart teams trade while they still have value. His career has been plagued by more surgeries than the late Michael Jackson. Cashman just doesn't have it in him to make a move that may blow-up and make him look foolish. Not a great attribute for a GM.; May 1, 2023 at 7:18 PM
Scottish Yankee fan said...: If we are lucky 10

Not a very nice thought; May 1, 2023 at 7:29 PM
Beauregard Jackson Pickett Burnside said...: 20 wins! Gonna be AMAZING!; May 1, 2023 at 8:46 PM
Doug K. said...: This comment has been removed by the author.; May 1, 2023 at 9:01 PM
BTR999 said...: Boone, the shaved ape, puts Holmes is in who blows the save.

Elementary.; May 1, 2023 at 9:02 PM
Doug K. said...: Holmes is an arsonist who just flushed German's terrific effort. Why is he "the closer"?

They keep getting worse and worse and worse

The Yankees only scored two runs anyway but German took a shutout into the ninth.

Unbelievable. Actually, all too believable.; May 1, 2023 at 9:02 PM
DickAllen said...: Kiss this one goodbye; May 1, 2023 at 9:04 PM
BernBabyBern said...: Un. Fucking. Believable

88 fucking pitches for German, and he’s out.

If I had a dollar for every Yankee fan who said to themselves “Oh, shit” when Holmes trotted in, I bet I could retire. But Boone is clueless.; May 1, 2023 at 9:11 PM
BernBabyBern said...: Oh, and after watching this debacle I’m going 9-20 for May.; May 1, 2023 at 9:16 PM
BTR999 said...: ……aaaaand Hicks strikes out to end the game. PERFECT!; May 1, 2023 at 9:18 PM
Publius said...: Get shellacked on Texas, lose by double digits in last game. Who thought it could get worse?; May 1, 2023 at 9:19 PM
DickAllen said...: a fitting end to a shit loss; May 1, 2023 at 9:19 PM
Publius said...: 2 hours, 6 minutes. At least it was a brisk collapse.; May 1, 2023 at 9:24 PM
Publius said...: Every move he makes blows up in his face and makes him look foolish. The ones he doesn't make blow up in his face and make him look foolish. The man should not be running a major league baseball team.; May 1, 2023 at 9:26 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: Publius, with all due respect--- almost everyone here thought it could get worse, and we still think so.; May 1, 2023 at 9:28 PM
Publius said...: Tru enough. But this one. My god. We're beyond pathetic, even beyond absurd. This is grotesque.; May 1, 2023 at 9:29 PM
Carl J. Weitz said...: A Cashman-constructed bullpen. Johnny Wad Holmes abd Magic Wandy Peralta.; May 1, 2023 at 9:32 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: With Judge on the DL, I'm going with 4. Complete collapse.; May 1, 2023 at 10:15 PM
Mildred Lopez said...: I had to leave to pick up my daughter just when Boonehead was coming out to get German. Felt a cold chill because, well, Boonehead. We got home 10 minutes ago.; May 1, 2023 at 10:40 PM
BTR999 said...: Count yourself lucky, Mildrerd.; May 1, 2023 at 10:46 PM
Doctor T said...: 9-22. Cashman blames the long haired bat boy and fires him.; May 1, 2023 at 11:55 PM
Hazel Motes said...: MAYDAY MAYDAY Yanks now in the cellar.; May 2, 2023 at 12:18 AM
Oasisdave said...: I want to lower mine to 8 wins, actually maybe 7; May 2, 2023 at 12:43 AM
The Archangel said...: Just remember folks,

1) It's just a game,

2)We can remind ourselves that not a single Yankee even knows of our existence,

3)We have two infielders and a washout starting in the OF,

4)We can fondly remember that there was only one Mariano.

and Hal, and ASSman---like the Bible says, you reap what you sow.
Fuck you both for destroying the one lifetime love of mine from the 1962 WS on.
Can I get an Amen?; May 2, 2023 at 6:16 AM
The Archangel said...: One more little tidbit curtesy of RAB, this is the first time the Yanks have been 8 games out on 5/1 since 1984!!
That was the year the Tigers went 35-5 from the gate.
Tell ASSMan that he is in rare territory now.; May 2, 2023 at 6:40 AM
Publius said...: Cashman knows who we are, Angel. That little shit googles himself constantly. Count on it.; May 2, 2023 at 8:01 AM
Unknown said...: 12-17; May 2, 2023 at 9:12 AM
The Hammer of God said...: @ The Archangel, Amen!; May 2, 2023 at 9:25 AM
HoraceClarke66 said...: Amen, Archie!; May 2, 2023 at 9:59 AM
JM said...: Who says we're going to win any games in May?; May 2, 2023 at 10:05 AM
