Pretty funny!

Who gets custody of the kids?

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Today's lineup would be good if it said Dominguez instead of Vertigo.

BTR999 said...

From the NYY PR DEPT:

Prior to today’s game, the Yankees made the following roster moves:
• Returned RHP Clarke Schmidt (#36) from his rehab assignment and reinstated him from the 60-day injured list.
• Returned RHP Ian Hamilton (#71) from his rehab assignment and reinstated him from the 60-day injured list.
Optioned Ron Marinaccio to AAA Scranton.
• Designated RHP Phil Bickford for assignment.
• Designated RHP Nick Burdi for assignment.

BTR999 said...

Don’t know what happened to Judge man, but he has been awful.

AboveAverage said...

Maybe Judge needs a magic back rub from Suzyn . . . .

BTR999 said...

😬

Rufus T. Firefly said...

I'm sure she's more than willing. Judge, maybe not so much.

I'm thinking the Yankees would be better off with NO hitting coaches. Go old school and replace the hitting coach with the "liniment" coach.

JM said...

Isn't there someone else they could DFA and keep Marinaccio? Jesus, has that guy been jerked around.

JM said...

Cortes in the bullpen. God Almighty, we just got rid of one stiff out there in Bickford, and we put another stiff in his place.

JM said...

Schmidt looking good so far. Cortes is only useable in blowouts. Cole, Gil, Schmidt, Rodent...if only we could get rid of Stroman. At least I can feel pretty good about the first three for the playoffs.

Assuming we make it.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

I got no problem with Cortes in the bullpen. Innings eater when you need it. Saves the rest of the staff, which unfortunately isn't worth saving.

ranger_lp said...

I detect lots of damage control in the booth today…

JM said...

Wells nailed Swanson there. Nice throw.

JM said...

Yeah, Ranger. It's noticeable.

AboveAverage said...

Flaherty just snapped at Kay - and verdugo simply has no brains

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Suzyn called out Vertigo.

ranger_lp said...

Someone remind me how Vertigo gives us the best chance of winning…

ranger_lp said...

Wells has improved defensively…

JM said...

Soto no defendo.

AboveAverage said...

Walky Walkie

AboveAverage said...

Suzyn’s birthday. Today. Coleslaw’s 34th tomorrow. It’s all so exciting!

AboveAverage said...

Stanton tiny steps it outta the batter’s box on that warning track fly ball. Sheesh

BTR999 said...

I have the distinct feeling that this lead is not sustainable.

JM said...

Maybe not. But I'm glad we have Rizzo, Hamilton, Gil, and Schmidt back. The problem now is some of the guys who are still here.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Launch angle doesn't seem to be working with the wind blowing in. Too bad the Yankees' brain(less)trust doesn't understand situational hitting.

AboveAverage said...

RizzO ‘s brain looks fully healed-Yay

AboveAverage said...

Exit Velo on Can’tRun’s double play was…..who f@ckin’ cares!

JM said...

Nestor still in there. Lucky the Cubs can't hit.

AboveAverage said...

If Boone takes Nestor out and replaces him with “Claybor our closer” he should be forced to eat 500 Chicago dogs and then be drawn and quartered

JM said...

But it's so Boonesian.

JM said...

If the pitchers hold every team we play to zero runs, we could run the table.

AboveAverage said...

That’s sound logic, JM.

ranger_lp said...

Yankees Win!!!

AboveAverage said...

Cortes uses his butt for the put out

JM said...

Improv kind of guy.

AboveAverage said...

Winny Winny Winny……..WINNY?!?

AboveAverage said...

I’ll fill in………

AboveAverage said...

THHHHHHHHHHHHAH YANKEEEEEEEEEEEEZE WEEEEEEEEEEEEN!

BTR999 said...

Good Pitching
Good Meat
Good God
Let’s Eat!

BTR999 said...

Kevin said...

Well, the Cubs have been red hot, especially their offense. Our pitching smothered them in the first two games. On the other hand Judge and Soto, well let's just say, "it's not what you want". Hopeful optimism, or time to gnash teeth or gouge out the eyeballs?

AboveAverage said...

Well Kevin, Cole goes tomorrow. The Cubs may still have a chance.

HoraceClarke66 said...

Wait, the Yankees actually won a series? How'd that happen?

AboveAverage said...

Clayber the Closer didn't come in for a perfect dozen

Rufus T. Firefly said...

I listened to the radio feed.

Did Bighead say he was filing for divorce?

Should I read page 6 of the daily Murdoch tomorrow for deets?

ranger_lp said...

Maybe they will divorce, just like Travis and TayTay breaking up on September 28th...smh

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Ranger, I'm a little worried about you.
I turned to Google to get the reference. Now I'm stupider than I was 10 minutes ago.

How is it that you know these things?

I was always under the impression that you liked *good* music.

I am so confused 😕

ranger_lp said...

LOL - Don't listen to her...I couldn't name one song of hers...

Not to worry abt me...I just have my ear to the ground on stuff...like that piece of bizarre news. Oh and a aside, do they have over/unders on how many times TayTay is on screen during a Chiefs game? FFS.
