You Want The Truth?




 Here is the truth.  Ugly and direct.

When the Yankees use Cabrera to pinch hit for anyone, in a tight game moment, the yankees have given up. 

Cheers.

AboveAverage said...

They weren’t nice about it

HoraceClarke66 said...

That sucks, AA! Sorry.

HoraceClarke66 said...

But yeah...wild night!

Ken of Brooklyn said...

Sorry to hear AA!!! But but but, you're there with history in the making, crossing fingers!

AboveAverage said...

Yes indeed

HoraceClarke66 said...

24 down. "Well, I'll be a suck-egg mule."

BernBabyBern said...

Well, this has turned out to be an interesting game.

AboveAverage said...

Watch, Boone will take him out

HoraceClarke66 said...

How you feeling, AA? You nervous? Sitting/standing in the same way? We're counting on you to bring this through.

Ken of Brooklyn said...

Yes AA, no pressure LOL,,,,, this is exciting!!!!!

A little over 20 years ago, my brother and I were planning a trip to the stadium for a game. Being a Yankees history buff, I wanted to go to Yogi Berra Day. My brother insisted that he had no interest in seeing the Expos, the Yankees’ opponent that day, because they sucked and he wanted to see the Yankees play a real team. So, we went to another game.

As you probably remember, Yogi Berra Day was the day David Cone threw his perfect game.

I still remind my brother about this.

I’m channeling the power of the gods…..

HoraceClarke66 said...

Diaz-Langeliers-Ruiz in the bottom of the 9th...if we ever get there.

HoraceClarke66 said...

I remember, BernBaby.

My terrific brother-in-law is a Twins fan, so I got to see Wells pitch his perfecto in 1998. I kept score. Still have the scorecard and program.

HoraceClarke66 said...

A cowled Judge is in the dugout.

THE FORCE! THE FORCE IS WITH US!

AboveAverage said...

Standing - here we go……

BernBabyBern said...

Nice, Horace. That must have been a blast.

ranger_lp said...

WOW!!!

ranger_lp said...

Hey that sign AA was good luck

Ken of Brooklyn said...

WOWOWOWOWOWOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BernBabyBern said...

He did it!

AboveAverage said...

WoW - more later

Ken of Brooklyn said...

Thank god Jackie didn't screw this up!

HoraceClarke66 said...

Oh, doctor!

HoraceClarke66 said...

Sure was, Bernie! And this one...just stunning. Well, that's the part of the game that's best. As a great man once said...

ranger_lp said...

Yankees Win!!!

Oasisdave said...

Holy Molly!!!! Congrats German #24 should be his jersey number going forward

Ken of Brooklyn said...

The only way this could have been better is if The Master had called it,,,,,,

Hazel Motes said...

Oh doctor? That's a Red Barber Dodger call. For tonight it has to be HOW ABOUT THAT! or HOLY COW!

HoraceClarke66 said...

Well, Ken, as a great man once said...

HoraceClarke66 said...

AA, I think this is all due to you. Their confiscation of your sign turned the karma.

BernBabyBern said...

Tonight was kind of strange. I was doing work, had the game on but kind of casually watching. It wasn’t until the 7th inning when I heard Ruocco (or whoever it was) say “that’s 20 up and 20 down for Domingo German!” that I was like, “wait, what?” and fully focused on the game.

Oasisdave said...

Oh, wouldn't that have been amazing!!! Imagine a perfect game call similar to the home run calls!

Oasisdave said...

Well, as badly as Cashole has screwed this team, at least we will have this amazing moment in Yankee history to look back and enjoy. Nestled among all the sub .225 batting averages this may be the bright spot in the season. We will have the 24th and 4th perfect game in MLB history!! Congrats everyone, keep this one close to your heart because it will most likely be the highlight of the season

BTR999 said...

Roller Coaster Career of German?
Hopefully not the last memorable highlight of this season, but at least we have this.
Good job AA!

HoraceClarke66 said...

And...There's no predicting baseball!!

The Archangel said...

That's why we keep coming back,.
To paraphrase a Corleone, they just keep pulling us back.

The Archangel said...

Yeah, a perfect game is interesting,

BUT DONALDSON NOW HAS 10 HITS ON THE SEASON!!!

Com'n Guys, get your priorities in order.
