  2. And for the record: the NY Herald, begun in 1835 and for years the most popular paper in NYC, was merged with the NY Tribune in March, 1924.

    Free bonus information: the paper's second owner, James Gordon Bennett, Jr., gave us one of the city's most famous ballparks. In 1877, he was forced to leave the city after he showed up at his fiancée's house for a party so drunk that he urinated into a fireplace (some claimed it was a grand piano, though by that point, Gordon Bennett probably had trouble telling the difference).

    Any-hoo, Bennett had organized the very first polo match in the US of A, and had to abandon his private polo field, then located just off the northeast corner of Central Park. For years, Bennett looked in vein for a tenant for his Polo Grounds, finding one only in 1883, when a brand new ballteam known as the Gothams took up residence.

    The rest, as you know, is history!

  5. Dodgers third baseman blew the play whilst he was mic'd up and being interviewed (in fact he was just asked a meaningful question just as the ball was smoked right at him)

    BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

  9. That clown who posted the incorrect Soto update is RobReinhart @RealRobReinhart
    His Twitter (sorry, “x”) does indeed say that he has worked at the New York Herald since…2024, and also at SInow and Bleacher Report. I am heading over there now to excoriate this simian as only I can. Got 3 twitter suspensions under my belt and would love to get a golden sombrero. ¡olé!

    Oh yeah, let’s win this!

  18. And now.... Santana! We've given up.

  19. Let's hope against hope and pray 🙏 we don't have to rely on Glassman.

  20. This business of starting a runner on second base is some little league bullshit.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Rizzo is looking done. It's sad. DJ maybe, too.

    ReplyDelete
  22. This business of playing Giancarlo is some little league bullshit

    ReplyDelete
  23. Good to know that we can beat neither Baltimore nor LA.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Rizzo batting .123 over his last 15 games. ‘nuff said,

    ReplyDelete
  25. So with Soto out, our 4-7 guys went 0-17 with 6 Ks and 1 DP.

    Torres notches his 9th error of the year; on a pace for 22.

    And hey, The Admiral is looking pretty good. Glad we decided not to go all out after him.

    Everything in free fall, all of a sudden. Or was it that we just ran out of tomato cans?

  26. Yamamoto's shaky start this season was amusing, but you just knew he would right the ship in time to reward the Yankees for their parsimony.
