I know it's early, but then, it's never too early to begin the next loss.
Wonder how they'll completely embarrass themselves today? Always a study in creativity, stupidity, and lethargy.
Why did Judge stay with this team? Was part of the deal that nobody else is competent, so he really shines? You know, like a diamond in the outhouse pit? Is he our new Mattingly (hopefully without the injuries)?
So exciting to see how this develops! It's like 1966 every day!

That's a lovely dumpster fire image, JM. Great work.
And - from today's Boston Herald:
"After a thrilling come-from-behind extra-inning victory in Friday night’s series opener – the first time in at least 115 years that the Red Sox won a road game against the Yankees when they trailed by multiple runs with two outs in the ninth – they’re back at Yankee Stadium on Saturday afternoon for the second of three games with their greatest foes.
Though perhaps ‘greatest’ isn’t an apt description of the Yankees these days. Whereas the Red Sox are 15-5 over their last 20 games, the Yankees are 5-15, the worst record in the Majors over that span. On June 12, the Yankees were 14 games ahead of the Red Sox in the standings; they enter Saturday’s game with that lead down to a 4.5.
Since signing with the Yankees ahead of the 2020 season, Gerrit Cole owns a 5.16 ERA over 12 regular-season starts against the Red Sox, with 19 walks and 89 strikeouts over 68 innings. They’re hitting .250/.305/.508 against him, with 64 hits, 12 doubles, and 18 home runs, the most he’s given up to any team since donning the pinstripes. Seven of those round-trippers belong to Rafael Devers; he’s yet to take any other pitcher yard more than three times.
Cole has yet to make a clean start coming off the injured list. Over his first three games of the season, the reigning AL Cy Young allowed nine earned runs (6.23 ERA) on 13 hits, four homers, six walks, and 11 strikeouts. (Six of those runs, however, came in the middle outing.)

Oh, and...pass the mustard.

Always great to see the Herald, in a professional, objective way, dismantle our clownish efforts.
ReplyDeleteBefore today’s shitshow commences, please allow me to express my gratitude for this blog, without which I would surely go insane.
ReplyDeleteWonder what Rizzo’s future looks like?
ReplyDeleteThe ball is cloudy. Try again later.
ReplyDeleteIt sez here a younger third baseman than Lemehieu makes that catch
ReplyDeleteNobody is biting on Cole’s fastball up in the zone.
ReplyDeleteThe time is coming when he will need to adjust his approach and start pitching to contact.
Colace today.
ReplyDeleteSo far this year, Cole is an ace like Holmes is a closer.
ReplyDeleteSo Soto is now under .300.
ReplyDelete50 million?
ReplyDeleteWalks a lot.
ReplyDeleteWow, Vertigo hit a homer. I'm watching England - Switzerland. Looks like it's coming down to a penalty kick shootout.
ReplyDeleteA BUNT! A SACRIFICE BUNT!
ReplyDeleteIs that still allowed?
Runner on 3rd less than 2 outs, another RISP failure. This is how/why the team loses.
ReplyDeleteDJLM is useless now. He’s only here because we owe him so much money. Release him, and release us.
Who will Cashman throw under a bus to save his sorry skin this time?
ReplyDeleteWhat panicked deal will he make for an aging, broken player that implodes upon contact with a baseball field?
These and other exciting questions grip my mind as I watch the Yankee dumpster fire explode into flames, on que.
DJL couldn’t even get the ball out of the infield with a runner on third and one out. Time for a retirement home?
ReplyDeleteHa! BTR! You beat me to it!
ReplyDeleteDevers homered off Cole??? What a shock.
ReplyDeleteDick, I’m just writing what we’re all thinking
ReplyDeleteHere’s another: we let the other team’s big hitter, who always kills us, do it again. Couldn’t try pitching around him?
When they give LeMahieu his ticket out of here, give one to boone too…
Colace strikes again.
ReplyDeleteERA now 6.75.
ReplyDeleteGee, you think he was ready to come back? He certainly thought so.
The 2024 Yankees are a dumpster fire in the hazardous waste bin at the sewage treatment plant.
ReplyDeletePlus KayWhy? is announcing. Paging Dr. Kevorkian!
ANOTHER BUNT!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed that a number of Yankees can bunt really well. Scooter would be so happy.
ReplyDeleteVolpe! Nice
ReplyDeleteSome power there.
ReplyDeleteGood eye.
ReplyDeleteWow. Who are these guys?
ReplyDeleteDJ came through that time.
ReplyDeleteWe've seen this before, Dick. Then next game they're back to sucking.
ReplyDeleteI think we have a first baseman.
ReplyDeleteThey always get your hopes up before a soul crushing defeat.
ReplyDeleteWow.
ReplyDeleteCa$hole will trade him for a middle reliever at the deadline
ReplyDeleteSoto pulls a Gleyber.
ReplyDeleteWTF was that? The new version of the mercy rule?
ReplyDeleteRufus, I was thinking the same thing. The Intern is perfectly capable of great heights of stupidity
ReplyDeleteSoto’s great, but loves to showboat.
ReplyDeleteI’ll bet Soto HATES being the DH
ReplyDeleteAnd yes creditto LeM and Volpe, 2 good AB’s.
ReplyDeleteAnd of course Rice!
Dick,
ReplyDeleteSoto has said he hates DHing.
Another great bonehead idea to put him there.
Rufus I have faith that I can always rely on Booooone making the smart move
ReplyDeleteThe Yankees might actually win this game, but with the superior bullpen The Intern has assembled, this is definitely a save situation.
ReplyDeleteHoly fuck. Three fingers. 7 ribbies.
ReplyDeleteDingers
ReplyDeleteDamn! Hat trick!
ReplyDelete🎶🎼 Rice-A-Roni, the NYC Treat🎼🎼
ReplyDeleteRice is having a good week today.
ReplyDeleteThe Rice is right!
ReplyDeleteGood ones, Hinkey and BTR.
ReplyDeletePolish kid does okay.
ReplyDeleteThree fingers is also correct JM.
ReplyDeleteAnd BTR, I think you have what would have been the Master's HR call for uncle Ben.
It's good to win.
ReplyDeleteKayWhy? actually came up with "Rice, Rice, baby!" He is pretty vanilla toned.
ReplyDeleteIncredibly, Uncle Ben grew up a Yankee fan deep in the heart of Lucchino Land, Cohasset mASSachusetts.
ReplyDeleteGood to have some fun.
ReplyDeleteBen Rice…once, twice, th-rice?
Wait, Ben Rice only has three fingers? That makes this all the more impressive.
ReplyDeleteBen Rice kinda reminds me of Greg Bird.... hopefully the comparison ends with this sentence. 😒
ReplyDeleteHoss, like Mordecai Brown?
ReplyDeleteA's beating the Orioles 14-1 in the fourth.
ReplyDeleteHa-cha.
Hot rumor, Rice for Jansen
