The Sinatra song they SHOULD be playing after every remaining Yankees game.

 


The summer wind was blowin’ out

At least half the year.

When Soto hit and Judge ran wild,

And we dreamed of golden rings.

Two monsters and the summer wind.

 

Like painted kites

Those long-ball nights

They went flyin’ by.

The world was new

’Neath a pinstriped blue 

Umbrella sky.

Then worse than

Poor Gleyber ran

Cashman sent it askew.

We lost it with the summer wind.

 

The autumn wind,

The winter wind

Will come and go.

As Giants fall,

And Knicks appall,

Through another barren winter.

 

And yes those days,

Those dismal days 

Will drag on and on.

As Gleyber clings

And Soto brings

Cheer to Flushing Meadow.

Where the hell can we go?

 

We’ll just have to wait,

For that same-old, same-old summer wind.

Weeping down here in the Village. You made an old guy cry, Hoss...now, we need to do something about that Marianne Faithful version of "Those Were The Days," but I have to take a nap. Nurse! Please come and wipe off my old nutsack.....

DickAllen said...

Beautiful Hoss!

And when they get eliminated, Sinatra should be singing “That’s Life.”

AboveAverage said...

Bitty, is THAT what you meant by weeping "down there"....?

Lovely tune, Hoss.

Perhaps we should all form the IIHIIFIIC band. We'll hit the covers off of all those other cover bands across the lands.



JM said...

Marianne Faithful did a version of "Those Were The Days"? How well did she croak it?

JM said...

Or maybe they go with "DOA" by Sabbath.

JM said...

Keefe sez:

"Verdugo is now for 1-for-his last-17 with the one being the slow roller to the right side that he beat out on Tuesday. Keep playing him!"

JM said...

Once again, Boone had to play Verdugo. Why? The guy has had every chance, and yet he remains teacher's pet. It's fucking obvious and disgusting.

The same can be said of Torres fucking up running home. Again. And yet, Boone still defends him to the press. Even Judge said it was stupid, in a nice way, of course.

Boone is such a fucking idiot. I can't see how we'll win anything with that incompetent shit for brains asshole in charge. Impossible.

Thank you Hoss, I found myself singing along!

Doug K. said...

If the Yankees don't win, next year half the team will be singing "It Happend in Montery"

In happier news. From MLB.com "Hart tossed a ceremonial first pitch at Yankee Stadium on Tuesday night to pay homage to his great-uncle, former Yankees catcher Elston Howard, who was the first African-American player to wear the club’s pinstripes.

The Yankees gifted Hart a jersey bearing Howard’s uniform No. 32, and Hart was guided into Monument Park, where he was able to pose for photographs with Howard’s retired number and plaque."

Josh Hart.

Last: Cortez on IL and Jasson starting in left.

BTR999 said...

From MLB.COM
Nestor Cortes, Wednesday’s scheduled starter for the Yankees as they continue their series against the Baltimore Orioles, has been placed on the 15-day IL with a left elbow flexor strain.
Right-hander Cody Poteet has been recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, and Marcus Stroman will start in Cortes' place on Wednesday night.

JM said...

Oh great.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

You've probably never heard this before, but you're such a tease.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Met Marianne Faithful c. 1985. She was having surgery on her vocal cords in the hospital that I worked at. Polyp removal. She was as nutty as you would expect.

edb said...

Is there a song with the lyrics including: we do not hit in the clutch, we cannot run the bases and or manager is a moron. He plans to put Holmes in meaningful situations in the playoffs.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

The song for tonight's game:

BTR999 said...

Here we go again

BernBabyBern said...

Well, if we’re looking for a song for tonight, “Loser” by Beck would fit the bill.

In the outfield, the Martian looks like he is auditioning to be a full-time DH.

JM said...

Stromanized.

JM said...

Boy, the kid can't be THAT bad an outfielder. Cripes.

JM said...

O'Neill says that ball had too much heigth. Heigth.

Doug K. said...

JM - I heard that also. Can't stand it. Personal peeve with me.

Doug K. said...

Also Meridith said six games might not be enough for Jasson to get used to left field. But the Yankees could have brought him up sooner.

AboveAverage said...

At least Cone is in the booth - that said - how did Stanton score on that single? He didn't run, did he?

Carl J. Weitz said...

Me three...there's no such word.

Carl J. Weitz said...

Is there any team close to the Yankees in hitting into GIDP?

Carl J. Weitz said...

I heard that at 77, Marianne has legally changed her name to Old Faithful

AboveAverage said...

We’re gonna lose this game HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Hinkey Haines said...

So after tonight, Baltimore’s magic number is 4…

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Marianne was almost as popular as Connie Hamzy.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Balmer's magic number is 0. They have to lose zero.

The Yankees magic number is Boone sucks.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Jumpin' Jehozephat, the Yankers are terrrribul

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Yankees being embarrASSed at home.

Thanks HAL!
Thanks Ca$hole!
Thanks Bonehead!

pathetic

JM said...

Stroman is what he is. Soto is as bad at defense as Dominguez. That means two out of three suck.

What a shitshow.

Doug K. said...

jm - new thread open

BernBabyBern said...

I’ve switched to The Bob Ross Channel (yes, that’s a real channel on DirecTV Stream). After watching the Martian play the outfield and Stroman pitch, I need to watch Bob make “happy little trees” and paint the sky “Phthalo Blue” to calm me down.

Kevin said...

Recently I came across Marianne Faithful's "Why'd You do It". I didn't think that I was capable of being shocked by entertainers at my age. Oooh boy, was I wrong!

Kevin said...

Hoss, great song! I also found myself singing it as I read.
