Game Thread and a Compromise

 OK, forget this Ryan McBroom stuff... 

He's a jinx.

How about this guy instead?

  1. Pardon my (continued) ignorance, but what the hock was that?

  2. I don't know. I searched for baseball and vacuum cleaners figuring it was like a McBroom but maybe a step up.

    Baseball and vacuum cleaners got me a lot of links to Brooks Robinson who, apparently, was nicknamed, "The Human Vacuum Cleaner"

    It also found the above graphic. So I went with it.

  3. Okey dokey!

    So now let's talk about the carmines' meter reader uniforms!

  4. Allow me to be the first to say - - - today - that those RED sox uniforms that the Red Sox players are wearing right now during this game that I am currently watching on my TV screen…..

    I. Don’t. Like. Them.

    Thank you for listening.

    ( oh and nice graphic, Doug )

  5. Brigadoon Refsnyder sighting.

    Also, Rodon doesn't look too good so far.

    At least the Yankees made the Red Sox starter throw 20 something pitches in the first.

  6. I think the rodent used too much slippery elm today.

    ReplyDelete
  7. Rodent is going to be over 20 before the inning is over. This looks to be a five hour game.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Yeah...

    Is it too late to change graphics?

    ReplyDelete
  9. Rodunce has achieved his second oooot

    ReplyDelete
  10. Ugh

    The curse of the good humor ice cream uniforms

  11. DID YOU FEEL THAT TREMOR?

    The Winny Watch Early Warning Shake Alert Team Has Been Activated.

    Stay tuned for Seismic updates as they occur.

  12. How about playing Trevino in a park favoring RH hitters instead of Wells?
    It’s not like Wells has done anything to earn more playing time.

  13. Volpe regressing to 2023 form.

  14. Based on the Uniforms - I have renamed the Boston team:

    The Puss Sox

  15. The irony of the uniforms is, that if someone walked into a bar in Boston wearing that uniform he would get the shit beaten out of him.

  16. My win total prediction for the rodent is looking good right now.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Most of the players on the carmines would be attacked if they walked into most bars in bean town. Well, except the white, waspy guys. The rest would be treated to the racist townie asshole reception.

  18. Why is the Rodent still pitching?

    ReplyDelete
  19. JM, because they're paying him a lot of money.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Why do they have the stupid in-game interviews?

    ReplyDelete
  21. Taking One for the Team - Carloss is

    ReplyDelete
  22. And a fine third inning. So wtf were the first two?

    ReplyDelete
  23. Not exactly Catfish Hunter though.

    Just give a few scoreless innings rodent.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Yankees having issues with the strike calls.

    ReplyDelete
  25. The ump sucks for both sides.

    Better swing at anything close.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Stanton is swinging at the low and away pitch again!

    ReplyDelete
  27. He sucks!!!!!

    We are going to lose.

    Unless... I remove the graphic!

    ReplyDelete
  28. Stantonesque swing at a pitch very low and very outside.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Rodent made it through five. 109 pitches.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Okay, Doug, now they can get going.

    ReplyDelete
  31. It’s too late Doug. Duque flipped off the gods with hubris.

    ReplyDelete
  32. DickA - I tried but you may be right. Is there anything more powerful in the Yankeeverse than the negative consequences of invoking McBroom? Sadly, no.

    ReplyDelete
  33. There he goes again: the King of Swing and Miss

    ReplyDelete
  34. I’m coming in to this game late. So, we’re losing to the Savannah Bananas?

    ReplyDelete
  35. I fucking hate Boston crowds when they're winning. Just moronic and obnoxious.

    ReplyDelete
  36. ...and when they're losing, and when they're tied.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Another bullshit review. What's the point of those if they get them wrong twice in one game?

    ReplyDelete
  38. Plenty of chances tonight, not much out of them.

    ReplyDelete
  39. I haven't mentioned how much I loathe schmutz as an announcer.

    ReplyDelete
  40. This reliever is almost as annoying as the arrow guy

    ReplyDelete
  41. I was out and missed most of the game.
    Doesn’t seem like I really missed anything though…
