The Unknown Comic, maybe?

And nobody has mentioned it, I don't think, but our own Kevin Baker is quoted in the NY Times today in an article about corruption in NYC government.

Hoss taking no prisoners 💪

"Juan Soto meets with Hal Steinbrenner, says Yankees owner ‘really cares for players’"

Sounds like Hal snowed another one.

JM said...

You could actually argue that Boone has put the best team on the field today. Amazing.

JM said...

Nice snag at the wall by Jasson.

AboveAverage said...

Where did this quote come from?

JM said...

The Athletic.

JM said...

Two gophers by Gil and the bats silent.

AboveAverage said...

Ugh

AboveAverage said...

Hey JM, what are yah drinking?

Platoni said...

It seems the Yankees have decided to win the top seed by default.

JM said...

Just coffee. Not drinking in support of my wife, who can't drink while she's on chemo.

JM said...

Wells is lucky.

JM said...

So our rookie of the year got shelled by ... these guys. Doesn't bode well for the playoff rotation.

BTR999 said...

Haven’t you heard? These games don’t count!

BTR999 said...

This time is a mirror image of its feckless, flaccid manager.

We don’t have a snowball in hell’s chance in the playoffs,

Results don't matter.

999 with the key quote yesterday: nobody takes their foot off the gas faster than these guys. And it's ridiculous. Today another afternoon of barely major-league play. Soto gets himself thrown at second twice, idiotically, killing two rallies, and almost injures himself in the process.

The usual 40,000-plus sitting out there in the rain, and get to watch this.

HoraceClarke66 said...

And bitty is right: this doesn't seem like a joyous time at all.

Doctor T said...

Stanton strikes out. Two fouls and one swinging strike. None of those balls were in the strike zone. That's the story of the game. The Yankees would have had more baserunners if they didn't swing at all.

Doctor T said...

All hope is lost, Warren entered the game.

ranger_lp said...

This is not how you want to end a season…

HoraceClarke66 said...

Judge also looking awful, all of a sudden. The whole attitude seems to be that they don't want to be playing in the rain, poor kiddies.

Doctor T said...

As I was saying........

HoraceClarke66 said...

Wow, you weren't kidding, Dr. T. 9-4 already. That was fast!

ranger_lp said...

Warren is a batting pitching machine…

AboveAverage said...

The can get some slickers to protect their knickers

JM said...

Feh.

AboveAverage said...

So ridiculously lame

AboveAverage said...

We are falling apart

Kevin said...

"Another days useless energy spent".

Doug K. said...

Chapman is going to hit Judge. Because... Chapman.

Pocono Steve said...

Even if Judge hit a grand slam, we'd still lose by one.

AboveAverage said...

ChapSweat vs The Captain- oooooooooooo the dram A

AboveAverage said...

Big-Brain Boone once again to the rescue

Doctor T said...

Warren blowing a game is more predictable than a sunrise.

Publius said...

1-4 last 5

Doctor T said...

He didn't need to. Who needs an opposing team? Yankees defeat themselves.

Ken of Brooklyn said...

Limping in with a losing streak, no confidence whatsoever,,,,, what else should we expect!

Publius said...

"I came back for this shit?"
- John Sterling (probably)

Doug K. said...

Rizzo has a fractured hand

13bit said...

.This is just how Brian planned it out - suck ass and fall apart, then take a week off to ruminate on it. It's called the "Freudian Cold Hand" strategy and it works every time. It's all right there in front of us...

ranger_lp said...

Fractured finger Maybe he’s used the middle finger too much of late…

Rufus T. Firefly said...

I think he's singing "who's sorry now"

Rufus T. Firefly said...

I can't believe I'm rooting for the aSStros tonight.

Thanks, Ca$hole!

Rufus T. Firefly said...

If pointed at Ca$hole, I'd forgive it.

Kevin said...

Looks like your rooting worked. So we get home field advantage, is that a good thing?

ranger_lp said...

Now it’s two fingers fractured…don’t know if he can play…

Rufus T. Firefly said...

If you believe in miracles ...
