July 3rd Game Thread: Yankees vs. Reds

Montas returns with a 4.51 ERA 


I wonder who will catch him?

Actually his ERA isn't 4.51 it's 4.23 but that's pretty close.

Here's the thing, we traded a bunch of guys to the A's for Frankie Montas. Some of whom would come in handy right about now. 

To say it did not work out is an understatement. 

Not only was he hurt pretty much for the entire time but the Yankees paid him an extra 7.5 Million dollars to keep him for another year even though he was hurt, and they let him rehab on their dime. 

Then he goes and signs with the Reds. 

I know we were OK with him leaving but he's their starting pitcher tonight and he'd better really suck. 

We're getting there.

Rodent got through the first unscathed. A miracle.

Boone pulling out all the stops today. JD Davis, Jamai Jones...

Doug K. said...

2-0 already. Rodon should be traded ASAP. Tell opposing GMs it's a Sonny Gray thing. He will be great for you. He just can't play in NY

Carloss the Second Inning

The Death Barge is in a death Spiral.

At least Kay & Paulie are enjoying themselves

Doug K. said...

Trade Rodon for Montas!

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Trade rodent for Sasha Grey (the dancer) and a ticket to next year's world series. Ca$hole will need it. Because the Yankees won't be playing.

Happy Birthday to Brian Cashman

Trade Kay-WHY!? for Vin Scully's hair dye.

He just wished Ca$hole a happy birthday. I can only hope he comes out breach this time.

Doug K. said...

They are not only bad they are boring.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

My hope for this evening is that the 1999 bordeaux is still good.

The Yankees are not involved.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOkay.

Trade rodent for Joe Garagiola's jockstrap.

JM said...

Rodent serving meatballs tonight.

Platoni said...

I'd trade Rodon for any of the Sasha Greys

AboveAverage said...

Carloss has lost his mind.

He needs to grow a mustache

Gulf of Tonkin alert!

I’d like to be amused but I’m still in the disgusted stage

Rufus T. Firefly said...

BTR,

The Angels wear the red shoes.

And the Yankees wear the concrete golashes.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Do you believe in do-do?

AA,

I think it was my Bordeaux-deaux.

AboveAverage said...

Hey Roofuzz - How’s the WINE?

AboveAverage said...

SeeSeeeSeeeee!

AboveAverage said...

At least we’re got two….

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Was good, but would have been better in 2015.

Judge pulled a Stanton.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

AA,

Like Glassman, the Bordeaux was past it's prime.

JM said...

One more. Just like last night.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

how has cain-lee not given up a run in the last ten game?!? He must have let in a boatload of inherited runners. becuz I remember him sucking.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Bonehead playing strato-matic baseball.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Gleyber is such an ASS-ette.

Pocono Steve said...

He wishes it had been a DP. Verdugo bailed him out, though!

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Paulie is hallucinating again.

Saying Gleyber Cano has to score on a double.

AboveAverage said...

Look at those managers using their super brains to get things done.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

The Yankees have sunk to PHing a .163 hitter with the game on the line.

Ca$hole should be executed for allowing this to happen.

AboveAverage said...

He can’t be - it’s his birthday!!!! 🎂

AboveAverage said...

0-1
0-2
SUCKATOOD

Rufus T. Firefly said...

My, that worked out well.

At least the good hitters will be up at desperation time.

JM said...

Our deep bench will save us in the bottom of the ninth.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

JM,

May I please have a shot of whateveritis you're drinking?

Thanks in advance.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

How appropriate.

Pocono Steve said...

They must experience intense orgasmic pleasure from losing. And we love to watch, apparently.

AboveAverage said...

Roofus - did u drink all of JM’s booze because if not - I’d like a shot please

BTR999 said...

Embarrassing

Dreadful

Unacceptable

JM said...

At least we're losing against really good teams.

Oh wait...

JM said...

More vodka, please.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Grey Goose?

Coming up!

Doug K. said...

meh

AboveAverage said...

I’ll take a couple of shots of four year old Chinaco anejo please

Happy Birthday, Cash. One more futile time around the sun.
