Just in case you guys didn't catch it from the last thread...
Scotland! That is so great, what a terrific tribute! I hope I can get there someday myself, and if I do, the beer will be on me (not to mention the Scotch).
Trying to be calm, but still pissed about that earlier sac bunt by Verdugo. Why bunt with a raw rookie and the worst hitter in BB up next. Might as well take a hack at it, as predictably we didn’t score.
At least the top 3 will bat in the 9th. By the end of next week, both Stanton and The Martian should be back in the Yankees lineup. That should hopefully send a couple of AAA players back to Scranton and nail Verdugo's ass to the bench.
Getting screwed by the ump as usual. Proud to say I was among the first to call for ABS, which will stop the umps and put an end to the hirseshir commonly called pitch framing.
Look, anytime you put a lineup out there that has Jah Jones leading off and J.D. Davis hitting cleanup, you’re pretty much punting.
This lineup has too many holes to be patched at the T/D. Once again another season destroyed by cashman & staff. Knowing he’ll be back next year and longer causes me to become physically ill.
Martian takes over left field, Stanton comes back hitting like he was before the injury, Schmidt returns and pitches to form, the three or four injured bullpen lug nuts return to form, The Brain engineers a trade for competent help for the infield corners, and two or three good pitchers for the staff, and finally someone unlooked for fights his way off of the farm to provide a boost. This scenario unfolds over the next one to five weeks. Can the team be true contenders for the RING? Is this possible, or improbable, NFW (no fucking way), 'Kevin stop with the mushrooms already ', 'Kevin you are a bigger idiot than I already had you pegged for'. Because I think that most of my "scenario" has to unfold f the Yankees to have an interesting final couple of months. Horace's great piece regarding 1975 and the trades which led to three pennants and two Rings gave me food for thought. Can The Brain engineer the subtle trades coupled with players returning from the DL who still can play actually forge a winner 🏆? Thoughts?

ReplyDeleteScotland! That is so great, what a terrific tribute! I hope I can get there someday myself, and if I do, the beer will be on me (not to mention the Scotch).
Thanks so much—and thanks, JM!
And JM, love that Mr. Met wristwatch! Wonder how much it's worth today?
ReplyDeleteAt least $9.95, Hoss. I mean, Swiss movement.
ReplyDeleteOur leadoff and cleanup are embarrassing.
ReplyDeleteGleyber!
ReplyDeleteJD DP.
ReplyDeleteWow, Vertigo can bunt.
ReplyDeleteWhere is everybody?
ReplyDeleteI was walking the dogs.
ReplyDeleteThey were BARKING up Haikus left and right, JM!

Rufus Thomas, Walkin' the Dog.
ReplyDeletePerfect

Big inning for our pitcher.
ReplyDeleteHe gets outta the fifth it’s a big deal.
Also - Cone bites his fingernails - who knew.
Double play time!!!!
Vertigo is scared of the wall
ReplyDeleteVerdugo is worthless.
ReplyDeleteGreat throw by Soto
ReplyDeleteI must disagree with you, JM. Vertigo is worth at least a slurpee and a bag of nuts
Fuuuuuuuuuucccckkkkkkk
ReplyDeleteWhoopsie
ReplyDeleteLindor took one for the team. Purposefully got hit.
ReplyDeleteFoul Ball
ReplyDeleteJM - you still in Palm Springs?
ReplyDeleteWhew.
ReplyDeleteNo, back in NYC. Going to Germany on Thursday.
ReplyDeleteMiss a lot of games while there. Time difference is murder. Three weeks, too.
ReplyDeleteNo date shakes in Germany (that I’m aware of)
ReplyDeleteJM - since it is only us here at the moment - what should we chat about?
ReplyDeleteOh my god - a strike out
ReplyDeleteWhere is everyone 🤣
ReplyDeleteUgh —. Face Palm
ReplyDeleteVertigo RBI - is there a rally for our Groans?
ReplyDeleteSorry, had watch Chopped, recorded, to mollify the missus. So catching up now in the bottom of the fifth.
ReplyDeleteXifaxan for IBS! *
ReplyDelete*May cause IBS and fatal side affects.
Oh my. McNeil HR.
ReplyDeleteYah Yah, Herr JM.
ReplyDeleteShite!?!
ReplyDeleteOk, caught up.
ReplyDeleteJohn Mayall died, 90. A legend.
Oh fuck, Ferguson. Jesus Christ.
ReplyDeleteBader sucks for us, hits .300 for the Mets.
ReplyDeleteWow, Vertigo judged a fly ball.
ReplyDeleteAnd now, we honor America by playing an old record.
ReplyDeleteTrying to be calm, but still pissed about that earlier sac bunt by Verdugo. Why bunt with a raw rookie and the worst hitter in BB up next. Might as well take a hack at it, as predictably we didn’t score.
ReplyDeleteDo you have any pharmaceuticals you can use to calm down with, BTR?
ReplyDeleteHustle Hustle Hustle!
ReplyDeleteGrisham actually ran fast
ReplyDeleteSoto disappoints.
ReplyDeleteCowards. Intentional pass to Judge.
ReplyDeleteBarry Judge
ReplyDeleteShit. Rice almost.
ReplyDeleteCone brings some intelligence to the booth.
ReplyDeleteAlso - tag a move to third on that fly ball!
Fuuuuuuuuuucccckkkkkkk
ReplyDeleteWasted opportunities 🙁
ReplyDeleteNot watching this anymore. Would rather drink a bucket of horsefuck.
ReplyDeleteGood name for a band.
ReplyDeleteWasted opportunities.
ReplyDeleteBucket of Horsef@ck - impressive
ReplyDeleteWeaver!!!!!
ReplyDeleteVertigo HR?
ReplyDeleteMaybe the time has come.
Nope
ReplyDeleteOr he injures himself. Just a ground out.
ReplyDeleteGod. Holmes.
ReplyDeleteHolmes in to put the game out of reach.
ReplyDeleteShit, DJ.
ReplyDeleteAt least the top 3 will bat in the 9th.
ReplyDeleteBy the end of next week, both Stanton and The Martian should be back in the Yankees lineup. That should hopefully send a couple of AAA players back to Scranton and nail Verdugo's ass to the bench.
Fuck Bader.
ReplyDeleteCarl, we can only hope.
ReplyDeleteHolmes looked decent.
ReplyDeleteLeMahieu, man…
ReplyDeleteYep.
ReplyDeleteIt'll be up to Rice.
ReplyDeleteGetting screwed by the ump as usual.
ReplyDeleteProud to say I was among the first to call for ABS, which will stop the umps and put an end to the hirseshir commonly called pitch framing.
Mets should pitch around Judge
ReplyDeleteJudge not a big 9th inning guy…
ReplyDeleteFffffffffudge
ReplyDeleteJudge very seldom a drama hitter.
ReplyDeleteAh, well.
ReplyDeleteRice can’t hit lefties.
ReplyDeleteWoooooooooof
ReplyDeleteYeah…
ReplyDeleteFuck
ReplyDeleteSigh…

You know what Ize hate?
ReplyDeleteMe hates Ben das Yunkeez loose.
Like stool outta a sick bison
Yep.
You can quote me on that:
The Bowl it won’t Flush
Nothing takes away the stench
How can Cashman sleep
Looking forward to seeing tomorrow’s game!
ReplyDeleteLadies and Gentlemen, your 2024 Yankees.
ReplyDeleteBrought to you by HAL, Ca$hole and Bonehead.
It's exactly the team that Hal deserves.

ReplyDeleteKevin - great post - We will just have to see how everything shakes out over the coming week plus.
ReplyDeleteGiven your layout - where do u think Vertigo goes?
AA, thanks! Vertigo goes to the bench if/when The Martian lands. He's really a fourth outfielder these days.
