  3. Sometimes double plays are greatly appreciated

    ReplyDelete
  4. Judge with warning track power.

    ReplyDelete
  5. Meanwhile, the Mets look ready to celebrate.

  6. That worthless Stanton guy again.

  7. Lifeless and joyless. Yanks play like we have cinder blocks on their feet.

    2. Trying to hide from the ugly truth. It's one of the may things wrong with modern ball. The Brewers dominated the NL Central all season but then are forced into a three game playoff for the wildcard. How can a marathon season (162) be decided by the best of three crap-shoot? Mets benefited from a very flawed system. Good for them, I guess, but still BS.

  9. But I just got my lighter up in the air.

  10. Judge is starting to come out of it but the Yankees may not have enough games left for it to matter

  11. Fill in the blank: Volpe is ________

  12. Fucking Holmes. For the love of fucking G-d. Oh and Soto can't field.

    ReplyDelete
  13. And here comes Boooooone, Too batters too late

    ReplyDelete
  14. Soto hasn't learned not to let the ball get by him. Takes too many low odds chances.

    Holmes... Jesus Christ.

  15. 2/3 of mlb starting RFers make that catch, I think. The ball hung up. Bad jump, bad route.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Maybe higher percentage. That was a bad play.

  18. Way to watch it right down the middle, Jazz.

  19. Stanton stole a base!!! Holy cow!

    ReplyDelete
  20. Did anyone else see the news reports right after Stanton stole second? Apparently pigs were seen flying over Iowa.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Yanks record since June is 54 wins and 49 losses, that's a winning percentage of 52%. And yet I'm always surprised how mediocre we are.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Wow....4-0 Rangers, second period opening night in Pittsburgh.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Did anyone else see the news reports after Verdugo grounded out to second? Apparently pigs are no longer flying.

  24. 2-1 odds, no clutch RBI from Judge.

  25. Judge winces when he’s not going well

    1. I was watching Slow Horses. But rewound the game. That worthless Stanton again.

      Delete
  29. Forget Soto. Just offer Stanton a 5-year extension.

  30. Why pull Kahnle now? He’s cruising.

    1. Who cares if he is doing well? The computer says he's got to go! Boone is a robot.

  31. I do not like this five-out save business

    ReplyDelete
  32. Sorry, was having dinner with the missus.

    Did I hear that Glassman has a stolen base?

    A FUCKING STOLEN BASE?

    Fake news!

    I have to go take a nap now...

    ReplyDelete
  33. Not only that, but he’s doubled and homered. Apparently our hitting coach finally discovered what was wrong with his swing.

    ReplyDelete
  34. so, they finally gave Giancarlo the Adderall enema he's been requesting

    ReplyDelete
  35. Should have left Kahnle in. Boone is nuts.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Stupid, incompetent.... not sure about nuts, but could be.

      Delete
  36. How about we sign Soto, keep Stanton, and trade Judge to the NL?

    ReplyDelete
  37. JM, you must be in heaven: your boy is the star of the game tonight. For once in his life.

    1. He's got his moments. Too bad he has such crap legs.
      I'm just compelled to point out that he's not anywhere near as bad as he's made out to be. It's the Libra in me. Looking for balance.

  38. 9 walks, & only manage 3 runs. Kind of pathetic.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Or as the Master said it…..the Yankees mmmwin!

    1. I had to watch TV rather than listen to Sterling. So I was stuck with Bob Costas’ call after the final out: “And that’s that.” Followed by about 8 seconds of silence. Not sure if I’ve ever heard a more anticlimactic call ending a close playoff game.

  40. we should all go out and buy lotto tickets immediately

    ReplyDelete
  41. I feel like Judge looked better tonight. Got a walk and a bunch of hard hit balls. I pray he comes out of this funk and carries us the rest of the way.

    ReplyDelete
  42. The team being up without THE JUDGE.... A good omen?

    ReplyDelete
  43. We play tomorrow, we win tomorrow... Right?

    ReplyDelete
  44. As someone who knocks Stanton- I must give him big props for this game tonight. Only 4 hits tonight, and he had 3 of them. We don’t win without him . A stolen base too? .

    And again…DreeeeamWeeeeaver !

    1. Yeah, finally a game he doesn't absolutely suck.

      I still don't think that was a $100M performance by the Glassman.

      Nine more and I might be convinced.

  45. Stanton. Damn.

    Schmidt looked good, better than the two princesses for sure.

    1. We'll see the crown princess tomorrow.

      Let's hope he doesn't have a hissy fit.

  46. Wait. A stolen base. I don't believe it. I saw it, and I still don't believe it.

    ReplyDelete
  47. This thread never appeared on my work desktop no matter how many times I refreshed.

    1. And that stolen base did not happen. Let the anti-conspiracy people prove me wrong.

  48. You know, I think that Cabrera is becoming an unsung player who is going to get better. He always looks switched on, and frequently those types of players go on to have surprising career. Hell, he might just be destined to replace the mud shark in our mythology....
