Weren't we in first place before this started?

WTF?

My head hurts.

Local Bargain Jerk said...: 13bit. I agree 100%. We need to stay within ourselves and not try to do too much; August 11, 2024 at 8:29 AM
13bit said...: We're just about to break out, LBJ, after our collective Tommy John lobotomies two years ago. Any day now...; August 11, 2024 at 9:02 AM

JM said...: I thought he threw well. A little problem with location, that hurt him, but he was right there.

Mr. Haney against us today.; August 11, 2024 at 10:22 AM
BTR999 said...: As the band Europe opined in arguably the worst rock song ever recorded, “It’s the Final Countdown!”; August 11, 2024 at 10:58 AM
DickAllen said...: Oh, yeah. Baseball. Is that still a thing? After two weeks of terrific Olympics, I forgot all about the Yankees. Best two weeks of my life.; August 11, 2024 at 12:53 PM
AboveAverage said...: Brunchin’ with the first few innings of the game. Hopefully I can keep my meal down. Haven’t “viddy’d” YES in quite a while. Boy oh boy have those boys behind the desks aged up. Jowls a swinging and eyes a drooping. Isn’t life the best!; August 11, 2024 at 1:31 PM
AboveAverage said...: Need to score six more runs to get the win today; August 11, 2024 at 1:55 PM
ranger_lp said...: Soto!!!; August 11, 2024 at 2:22 PM
ranger_lp said...: Glassman finally locked in…; August 11, 2024 at 3:03 PM
AboveAverage said...: We score one more run and we win!; August 11, 2024 at 3:34 PM
AboveAverage said...: Infield suckage; August 11, 2024 at 3:57 PM
JM said...: I guess third is a little more difficult than they thought.; August 11, 2024 at 4:01 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: WTF was that? Did they decide to prank Volpe before the inning? 'Hey, Jazz, Gleyber, if there's anything hit to Ant'ny, everybody cut in front of him!' Awful play by Chisholm, but the Gleyber play—even though his arm saved him—was almost inexplicable. WTF is he doing over there?

Yet another example of how mentally erratic and schoolyard-like this team is, all the time. Boone does not have control of it.; August 11, 2024 at 4:02 PM
AboveAverage said...: Back 2 Back!; August 11, 2024 at 4:03 PM
Kevin said...: Viddy well little brother, viddy well!; August 11, 2024 at 4:05 PM
AboveAverage said...: Thought you’d pick up on that, Kevin; August 11, 2024 at 4:09 PM
Kevin said...: I see that the Orioles lost to the tomato can Rays, so we MIGHT be tied for first after the game. Really a bizarre season.; August 11, 2024 at 4:13 PM
AboveAverage said...: Hoss. - It’s Volpe’s Glove Glove bobble head day at the stadium - of course they’re going to risk the game by messing withhim; August 11, 2024 at 4:18 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: Wow, is Sherlock about to blow this?; August 11, 2024 at 4:29 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: It's not like the bullpen is important, or anything. By the by, I saw that—after his wretched start to the season—Hader has 25 straight saves. Yeah, we didn't want that guy on our team.; August 11, 2024 at 4:32 PM
DickAllen said...: I guess DJ is not as fast as he thinks he is; August 11, 2024 at 4:35 PM
DickAllen said...: Oh boy. Here we go…; August 11, 2024 at 4:48 PM
Kevin said...: How can the scorer rule "defensive indifference" with these guys? How can he tell the difference?; August 11, 2024 at 4:49 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: WHY!? WHY ARE YOU WALKING PEOPLE!??!!; August 11, 2024 at 4:50 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: He's going to blow another save.; August 11, 2024 at 4:51 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: We're going to lose a series at home against the Rangers.; August 11, 2024 at 4:52 PM
Kevin said...: Time for some managing, no?; August 11, 2024 at 4:52 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: Anybody watching "Delicious in Dungeon" on Netflix?; August 11, 2024 at 4:53 PM
DickAllen said...: Where is Chapman when you need him?; August 11, 2024 at 4:54 PM
DickAllen said...: Whew; August 11, 2024 at 4:54 PM
Kevin said...: Boy that was a real confidence booster....; August 11, 2024 at 4:55 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: BlownSave hasn't thrown that many pitches since 2019. Hopefully he won't pitch again for 3 or 4 games.; August 11, 2024 at 4:56 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: Or ever again in a Yankees uniform.; August 11, 2024 at 4:56 PM
Pocono Steve said...: Even the wins feel like losses.; August 11, 2024 at 5:39 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: How many runs did the bullpen give up in the last two games?; August 11, 2024 at 5:49 PM
BTR999 said...: 14 earned runs Winnie, which is (checks math) not good; August 11, 2024 at 5:56 PM
BTR999 said...: We barely survived today. Hope we don’t embarrass ourselves against the Chi Sux; August 11, 2024 at 6:00 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: Eight times he got to "last strike of the game"...and ended up allowing a walk and a hit. And this was with him getting the call on everything on the edge. As you might expect in a home game—but still.; August 11, 2024 at 6:19 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: Yeah, Warbler, I loved the postgame guys saying "The bullpen got dinged today." Like saying "Berlin got dinged in WW II."; August 11, 2024 at 6:20 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: And in the "could've been worse" category, Paul O'Neill ended the game with a chuckle and the mysterious note that, "That play could've been easier, but Gleyber got messed up with his glove."

I don't know what "messed up with your glove" even means. But of course, it happened to Gleyber. Sigh.; August 11, 2024 at 6:21 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: This game was in so many ways exactly what this team was built for. A good start by our pitcher, and Judge, Soto, and Stanton with 4 homers between them. And we barely pulled it out. This should tell somebody somethin', but you can't tell him nothin'.; August 11, 2024 at 6:23 PM
Kevin said...: "Unnerving". Can't wait for those close playoff games with the bullpen and Gleybor... Hopefully, surely we lose The Holmes and Gleybor to free agency. Right?; August 11, 2024 at 8:03 PM
Kevin said...: If Billy Martin was the manager back in The Day, would he have made Gleybor a better ballplayer? I understand that today's milliona, er, ballplayers are more sensitive... but maybe an ass chewing would serve some of these guys better than getting their asses kissed. I dunno, my Old Man said that the Boomers were soft, but sheeeeeesh!; August 11, 2024 at 8:07 PM
Kevin said...: Well, The Yamamoto is still in dry dock so I guess that we at least temporarily dodged some bitching and moaning.; August 11, 2024 at 8:09 PM
AboveAverage said...: A win is a win.

A loss is a loss.

A sadly run front office is a sadly run front office.

Am I forgetting anything?; August 11, 2024 at 10:08 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: AA is truly prophetic. He said we'd need 6 more runs to win at 1:55PM!; August 11, 2024 at 10:49 PM
AboveAverage said...: I did, Winny. I reviewed all my notes and the box scores “they” made available to “us” and I confirmed that you were indeed correct about me being correct. Now if only I could “correct “ them. Alas.; August 11, 2024 at 11:10 PM
13bit said...: that was not a win. that was a message from the future. get ready for the fake playoffs and the real flush down the toilet of destiny; August 12, 2024 at 6:23 AM
