Yanks win critical game one. Now, they certainly won't lose the next two... right?

 

Congrats to the second place Yankees, current leaders in the AL Wild Card chase, for winning yesterday.

A great start by Luis Gil. A lights out bullpen. A big RBI by Aaron Judge. A fine game, had by all!

Obviously, we're all thinking the exact same thing:

Sweep.

Right?

Actually, no. What I'm thinking is that they will probably lose the next two, because that's what this team does. 

Surely, we won't lose the next two, right? I mean, that just cannot happen in a pennant race, right?'

Lots going on in the Yankees Extended Universe. Nerves are fraying. Georgie's gal Suzyn hates the opponents' uniforms ("We come to Wrigley once every few years. Can the Cubs look like the Cubs please?"). Usually reliable YES-men Michael Kay and John Flaherty get bitchy with each other during tje broadcast. Mike and the Mad Dog reunite to say The Master should stay retired. Vibes are bad. What the hell is going on?

Publius, people get edgy as they try to cope with a 31-39 team over the past 70 games. Really edgy.

Forgive the garbled syntax. I think you know what I mean.

Apropos of nothing, I miss the old Yankee Stadium.

That Kay/Flaherty moment was awkward...

AboveAverage said...

Missed the flah-Kay’ing moment.

May I respectfully request a detailed summary of the, uh EVENT?

AboveAverage said...

Oh, and did they already play today’s game and I missed another one? These 7AM starts are beginning to cloy and annoy.

JM said...

2:20 EDT, AA. So they say.

For the benefit of Mr. AA

That replay was worth my time. Could we please Vote on which one is the bigger fogging icehole?

Thanks, ranger. And wow, how insane! "How about you guys concentrate on why you are light years behind the Mets announcers?" Bizarre.

And I love that Suzyn dared to criticize MLB's grotesque "gear-quest-disguised-as-community-caring" in the form of those "City Quest" unformis. The hypocrisy of MLB is even worse than the unis.

Hole-E Fork! That was hilarious! 15 seconds of dead air at the end. They must fucking hate each other. I love it. unfortunately won't be able to watch on tv today. Will be interesting!

Rufus T. Firefly said...

...and which is the bigger bastitch?

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Suzyn is , as usual, correct. (As is Hoss, as usual)

If we were lucky (and we're not -- example #1, Ca$hole), Kay would quit in a PMS hissy fit. Our luck Flaherty will be fired.
