Better than Game Two dread . . . .

Doug K. said...

Berti playing first. Never played first in a game before.

AboveAverage said...

That's My Boone.

BTR999 said...

LHP has been the team’s bête noire all season long. This is not a good matchup tonight. I don’t think we can expect the Royals to continue to treat us to bases loaded walks. Need Judge & Stanton to wake up.

JM said...

Fucking Boone is an idiot.

mik said...

The senior center near me offers stretching classes for flexibility and mobility - maybe Giancarlo would sign up for one. He could borrow one of the walkers from the group.

mik said...

That makes no sense at all. Must be why Boone likes this idea.

JM said...

Rodent with the cheese.

Hinkey Haines said...

Boone must assume that Rodon will strike out 27 tonight, so defense is immaterial.

TheWinWarblist said...

Three stinky serving of cheese!

And Boone is still the biggest moron in all of baseball!! Fuck fuck fuck fuck Boone!!!

Pocono Steve said...

Judge: rallykiller.

TheWinWarblist said...

That was pathetic.

JM said...

Millions of people watching the postseason are saying, "I thought this Judge guy was supposed to be great?"

mik said...

Can't keeping all these runners on base,

Pocono Steve said...

Still not late enough into the postseason for Stanton to attempt to run.

Doug K. said...

Jasson for DH! Enough of this guy trotting

13bit said...

Just out of curiosity, I looked up Berti. He is of Sicilian descent and once played for the Lansing Lugnuts. Those are two facts that stand in his favor. I'm not really in love with his career numbers, but I like to see a young guy get a chance. Let's see what happens. Let's be full of love and fraternal feelings for our up-and-comers. And somebody was talking in another thread about erections. What is that? I have vague memories from long ago of what we used to call "morning wood," but I am now happy to simply choke down some soft dessert every night and call it a day. 8 days a week, I looooooove you. 8 days a week, is not enough to show I care. ALTHOUGH, Hoss had me going with the "Tumbling Dice" lyrics the other day and, by some strange neurological transmutation, the great Stones number from, what was it? - Emotional Rescue - was in my head all evening.

mik said...

If they played on New Years Day it still would not be late enough for Stanton to run.

13bit said...

Will all your money

Buy Boone forgiveness
Keep him from sickness
Or keep him from cold?
Will all your money

Keep Cashman from madness
Keep him from sadness
When he's down in the hole?
Hal is down in the gutter

Hal is bummin' for cigarettes
Bummin' for nylons
In the American Zone
Hal is down in the hole

Yeah, down in the hole
No escape from trouble
Nowhere to go
Down in the gutter

Beggin' for cigarettes
Beggin' forgiveness
All that you know
Down in the hole

After diggin' the trenches
Looking for cover and findin' out there ain't nowhere nowhere to go
Nowhere nowhere nowhere to go
None of Hal's money

Will buy him forgiveness
None of his jewelry
None of his gold
His black market cigarettes

His American nightclubs
Ah, they've got nowhere left
Something for nothing
All of his friends gone
Something for nothing
That's all that you know
Food stamps down in the hole
Down down down in the hole
There's some good pitching down down down down in the hole

Joe of AZ said...

Rodon feeling himself

JM said...

Stanton looked faster than usual to me. Longer strides, too.

Hey, the organist was playing "Eh, Cumpari." I'm impressed.

Pocono Steve said...

Now he's playing "Carry On Wayward Son."

Doug K. said...

Here it comes. three run he run

Doug K. said...

home run. The meltdown is live!

Doug K. said...

nice choice by chizzom

mik said...

How about some good offense now! Let's score some runs;;;

Pocono Steve said...

Costas.

JM said...

Stanton hit that too hard for Witt.

TheWinWarblist said...

MAN of GLASS!!

Joe of AZ said...

A CLUTCH HIT....MY GAWD!!!!!

Doug K. said...

Gleyber chugs one out!

mik said...

Witt
should have played back
just a little bit

Pocono Steve said...

Rodon doesn't want people to get too happy.

TheWinWarblist said...

Ah. Yes. That Rodon.

Doug K. said...

Yankees killer plus Rodon started to lose it last inning.

JM said...

Rodenture.

Hinkey Haines said...

Here comes the meltdown.

mik said...

What do you think that big group is talking about on the mound?

13bit said...

Wasn't Renfro the creepy dude who ate flies in "Dracula?"

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Dinner reservations

mik said...

Is TBS getting paid by the George Brett foundation? Enough of that guy!!!

Hinkey Haines said...

This is Rodon’s version of a shut-down inning, I guess.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

My posts aren't showing up.

Fuck the rodent

BTR999 said...

This team’s group mentality will be very happy with a split.

JM said...

From looking at him and listening to Darling talk about him, seems like Brett is still a major league asshole.

Hinkey Haines said...

There’s the Alex Verdugo we’ve come to know & love.

mik said...

A first-rate A-hole!

mik said...

John keeps saying Yankees are down 3 to 1. I think it's 4 but I'm not going to argue with the Master.

JM said...

Smoke on the Water?

Doug K. said...

George Brett was funny in Brockmire

Hinkey Haines said...

He was pretty funny in the pine tar game, too.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

YSIII restrooms have the Master piped into them.

Beats a sharp stick in the eye, but only by a little

JM said...

That was a great show.

Doug K. said...

Phuck Pham!

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Need more booze.

Oasisdave said...

Year after year we have to endure these Cash Trash lineups. I agree with Rufus, more booze please!

Kevin said...

Enough of that guy forty-five years ago!

TheWinWarblist said...

Rufus, get more booze. And get the Slab o' Bacon onna Stick as a chaser. Enjoy what you can while you can.

TheWinWarblist said...

The Jazz! JAZZ HANDS!!!

Hinkey Haines said...

And now, a word from the too little, too large department.

13bit said...

Assholes

TheWinWarblist said...

Bitty, sometimes you speak straight to my heart.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Those pphhukking teases!

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Ssssylvester said....

HoraceClarke66 said...

Carlos Rodon as your no. 2 starter. Jon Berti on first base. One slugger who can't hit, another who can't run. Whatever.

AboveAverage said...

What adult beverages did you consume tonight, Roofizz

13bit said...

AA - he might have taken it slow and turned to the teenaged beverages. For ME, back in the middle ages, that was moore like Mad Dog 2020 - Wine of the Century, Tango, and basically anything I could steal from anywhere on my dead end street in Yonkers. But it's possible he took the high road....

AboveAverage said...

Whatever he did toss back, in whatever quantities, each beverage must have started off right in front of him.

(Other than a typo - Keefe sums up the horrible, horrific, horror of the series so far)

13bit said...

I'll go read Keefe now. I have come to like his typos - there are a lot of them - cause it makes me feel like he's just hurling it out there, fast and furious, full of rage like all of us. And are you staying up late, at 4am, or doing the insomniac thing, comme moi? In my case, I now seem to be awake for the duration, but I'm going to make a pretense of crawling back under the covers for the sake of the dog and the woman. I may be broke, but I am a rich man.

AboveAverage said...

The dog woke me

13bit said...

"The last thing any fan wants is the starting pitcher of their favorite baseball team having the mindset of a touring member of Guns N’ Roses during their heyday."

Carl J. Weitz said...

@ 13 bit....Berti isn't a young guy-he's 34!

Rufus T. Firefly said...

For the record,

Lunch and hotel pre train - white wine (n.b., Stephano's in Fishkill is a very good Italian restaurant).

Train, two tall boys from the nice folks from Latham sitting across from us.

Billy's, Tito's and soda x 2.

Stadium, two (3?,4?) Tall boys until the 5th. Then Jim beam.

The world sucks right now. You can't get a fucking slice of pizza in the ground level? WTF? And kosher dogs nowhere to be found? On 10/7?

And Jim Beam is the best they can do for brown liquor?

HAL SUCKS
