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.

    1. 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.

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

    3. 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.

    4. 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!

  2. Beautiful Hoss!

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

  3. 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!"

    1. 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.

  4. Thank you Hoss, I found myself singing along!

  5. 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."

  7. Last: Cortez on IL and Jasson starting in left.

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  13. 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.

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

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

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

    ReplyDelete
  17. 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.

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

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

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

  21. We’re gonna lose this game HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

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

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

      The Yankees magic number is Boone sucks.

  23. Marianne was almost as popular as Connie Hamzy.

  25. Yankees being embarrASSed at home.

    Thanks HAL!
    Thanks Ca$hole!
    Thanks Bonehead!

    pathetic

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

    What a shitshow.

    ReplyDelete
  27. 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.

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