Where to watch the Yankees tonight

 

FIRST PITCH: 7:05  

OPPOSING TEAM: Nobody important. 

ALL MARKETS: Apple TV+

PRESENTATION: Attractive Apple-brand graphics display unhelpful stats, including odds of outcome on every pitch. Booth personalities at once frivolous and flat, enough to cause upset. 

JOHN & SUZYN SITUATION: Top rank. Above and to right of progress bar, sound and language button mutes TV audio and gives radio feed, precisely in sync.

I read I paused I chuckled I thank you, Stang.

Joe of AZ said...

Im going to assume with the ass lineup that's out there tonight for the Yankees, Boone and the ANALytics crew already had this day predestined as a throw away game

Beauregard Jackson Pickett Burnside said...

It’s games like these I remember… I’m not actually a Yankees fan. I’m a John Sterling fan. There’s no other reason on earth to have this game on.

Celerino Sanchez said...

The team is embracing the tank mode.!

Rufus T. Firefly said...

An excellent start. And a great game to be unable to watch.

Now to Friday martinis!

Scottish Yankee fan said...


Ah well game over

I can forgive this being a team of bum players they did not sign themselves to ludicrous long expensive contracts

What I can't forgive is a total lack of effort and it looks like we are just going to half ass the rest of the season

Fans deserve better and if the players are not going to try hard every game then perhaps they should donate the rest of their salaries this year to charity rather than take the money under false pretenses it is an insult to every fan who shells out a fortune to attend the game in person or pay for the very many options of watching the games on tv

yours in ager from Scotland

Shelley Duncan: “Congrats Johnny Brito, you’re going to the show!”
Marlin Abreau: “ Felicidades, Tú vas a programa de mierda”

DickAllen said...

Here I was thinking we might catch Cleveland and Anaheim, but now I believe, watching this programme merde, we can catch Detroit!

Go Yankees.

When the value goes down down down
and the prices go up up up
Hal will show you the reason he gives you
poor quality
profligacy

Celerino Sanchez said...

I just heard that Ca$hman has traded Judge, Cole, The Martian & Volpe for Wanda Franco. What a steal!

Hinkey Haines said...

Go, NY Football Giants.

Stang said...

DickAllen,

Byrne Dairy milk is mighty fine
You can't beat the hometown line
A wealth of health in every drop
Good for the kinds and mom and pop

Byrne Dairy milk is mighty fine
YOU CAN'T BEAT THE HOME--
--TOWN--
--LINE!

DickAllen said...

Stang, I am reliving parts of my childhood this season. And not the good parts. Watching this team is like waking up in the morning to discover you wet the bed.

Joe of AZ said...

Too Bad we couldn't have used a guy like Yoshida...who is like Hideki Matsui and Steven Kwan hybrid

AboveAverage said...

We’ll, it’s only 7-1 - there’s still a chance it could go to 10-1!

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Joe, so true

Dick, but it's even worse.

Mr. bit, that's only the tip of the iceberg.

In an attempt to re-institute last year's mantra:

Fuck Lon Trost with a rusty pineapple encrusted in zircon. Fuck HAL, fuck the intern, fuck bonehead. Fuck them all.

Except Judge. Our generation's Bobby Murcer. Think about it.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Fonzie had 77.

Celerino and Mr. bit had 86.

Celerino has the tie-breaker on Judge HRs


Stang said...

Suzyn just said that she was looking for last night's Mets game, but it wasn't on SNY. And she still couldn't find it when she searched through all of the streaming services and, in her words, "something called YouTube."

When the time inevitably comes, I'm really going to miss these two.

AVG OBP SLG OPS WAR
.213 .291 .388 .680 2.9
.201 .283 .444 .727 0.0

Who would you rather have on your team?

Add that to Zach's pitching comparison earlier today and you have...

HAL sell the team.

Not an original thought here.

BTR999 said...

Don’t get Apple, don’t care. Watching the Giants.

Looks like Brito was Shit-o

AboveAverage said...

What is the white stuff in Hebrew National hot dogs?

One of the main ingredients in these dogs is "modified potato starch." And another one down the line is "hydrolized soy protein." Either of these two ingredients would probably be the white minuscule flecks found on the inside of these hot dogs, which is pretty strange to come across at first.

WELL I THINK SOMETHING FAR MORE SINISTER IS GOING ON.

And, although it may not be rat feces - I'm just not so sure if those white flecks are much better . . .

“A big swing and a miss. Cantrun goes down swinging , Suzyn.

As I always say, with Cantrun you can predict baseball.”

BTR999 said...

Judge’s first YS HR since May!

Hinkey Haines said...

Let’s not overlook tonight’s silver lining. Kenyan Middleton pitched a scoreless inning tonight, which is surely a sign that Brian $man’s savvy deadline dealing is really paying dividends as the Yankees drive to the pennant heats up.

AboveAverage said...

Will Boone still be our “Milk Fart Skipper” come Thursday or will Gerrit Cole (BAHAHAHAHA)
be our player manager?

Rufus T. Firefly said...

I don't with him harm, other than opting out (he should), but I can't get past Cole's alto tenor voice. Our Squeaky Fromme.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

...don't *wish* him...

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Hinkey,


Do you work for the Death Barge's PR wing?

BTR999 said...

Ruf, that bothers me too! He always sounds like he has a clothespin on his nuts.

BTR999 said...

Boone hitting another new low in his presser, saying that the timing of the pitchcom outage was “interesting”, implying deliberate. He did walk it back later, perhaps realizing how stupid he sounded. When asked about the continuing struggle he challenged the media to figure it out. The bright side is that each loss increases the possibility of his termination.

Hinkey Haines said...

Rufus, does PR stand for Fuck Hal? If so, yes.

DickAllen said...

Watch out Detroit, we’re coming for you. You think you’re the only team that can suck? We are in full suckitude mode right now!

I’m probably going to wet the bed tonight.

HoraceClarke66 said...

I had 77 originally, but then stupidly thought better of it.

Damn.

TheWinWarblist said...

79. 79 ... if they go on a hot streak.

AboveAverage said...

Hold on to your hate ‘cause you’re gunna need it ALL on Thursday
