5. “Offensively, we had the right at-bats,” Boone said. “Offensively, the at-bats were fine.”
Boone’s level of delusion is unlike any other in the game, but these two statements from him are flat-out crazy.
When the Yankees’ first three batters of the game reached, the next three popped up. Right at-bats?
When they had runners on the corners with one out in the second, Juan Soto popped one up in the infield. Right at-bat?
When they had first and second with one out in the third, Jazz Chisholm hit into an inning-ending double play (his first double play of the season). Right at-bat?
When the first two hitters walked in the fourth with the Yankees trailing by one run in a game against the worst pitching staff in the league, Alex Verdugo inexplicably tried to lay down a bunt and popped out to the pitcher. Right at-bat?
The Yankees left a runner in scoring position in the fifth and again in the sixth. They left a runner on in the seventh and couldn’t score with the bases loaded in the eighth. In the ninth, the first two hitters walked and neither of them reached third, let alone score. Right at-bats in all of those innings?
The Yankees went 2-for-18 with runners in scoring position and stranded 18 baserunners on the night. Right at-bats!
Because of course this was going to happen: Chisolm to the 10-day DL with a UCL injury to gis bon-thriwibg arm. No wordon whether surgery will be required.
Rufus - I just heard from a reliable source that the surgery will be done on the wrong arm in early September . This will result in a timely and full recovery.

We are doomed. Judge is wasted on this team. Soto too

Boonie is looney
ReplyDeleteOld Brian’s got me crying
Hal is not my pal
Boone blows.
ReplyDeleteEach winning season
ReplyDeleteis like an ice cream flavor:
bold in its glory
Each losing season
is like fine wine: subtle in
their shades of useless
I’m not sure of much
ReplyDeletebut this team is upside down
jazz, jazz, jazz, jazz, jazz
Sunglasses worn proud
ReplyDeleteHe strides to the plate ready
it’s DJ, he’s out
second half swoon soon
ReplyDeletewe will not win 90 games
some things are known ahead
Verdugo looks young
ReplyDeletehe likes the color light blue
he plays much older
Love these!
ReplyDeleteThat AP English class in 1988 is finally paying off!
ReplyDeleteWhy are the Yankees
ReplyDeleteSo frustratingly inept?
Boone, Hal, and Intern

ReplyDelete*Non-throwing* arm…
ReplyDeleteWhen is the TJ surgery scheduled?
ReplyDeleteI predict next March, to ensure an entire lost season.
Rufus - I just heard from a reliable source that the surgery will be done on the wrong arm in early September . This will result in a timely and full recovery.
ReplyDeleteAcrilly - those are really good.
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked’em!!
DeleteYou can’t make this shit up. Do they have a medical staff on this team?
ReplyDeleteI’m losing track…on we on our 4th or 5th string 3B?
ReplyDeleteacrilly, the DJ/He's Out one really transcends in both form and content.
ReplyDeleteit’s my personal fav of the bunch!
DeleteSoto is some sort of special…
ReplyDeleteThey look as though they came to play.
ReplyDeleteI can't fckng believe the news about Jizz... But I mean, getting tagged with a ball? Sheeesh!
ReplyDeleteWell, three HRs by Juan Soto is big news, but I have even bigger breaking news:
ReplyDeletePhil Coke will be at Old Timers Day. So will Francisco Cervelli and Damaso Marte. (Really. I’m serious. They’re old timers now.)
Suddenly I feel ridiculously old.
Watching our bullpen is fucking painful…
ReplyDeleteBoy we did well at the trading deadline…
ReplyDeleteSperm of Leiter.
ReplyDeleteFirst the walk then the walk off grand slam
ReplyDeleteYankees Win!!!
ReplyDeleteSqueaker. Soto should have hit four. Loser
ReplyDeleteSo, the new guy we got who always gets injured...got injured? Who could have foreseen that?
ReplyDeleteEn fuego, acrilly!
hehehehee…the magic 8 ball comes in handy again!
Deleteit is truly enough to make one stop drinking
ReplyDeleteI only wish that Soto was a New York Yankee
