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

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

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

    ReplyDelete
  6. Three stinky serving of cheese!

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

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

    ReplyDelete
  8. Can't keeping all these runners on base,

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

  10. Jasson for DH! Enough of this guy trotting

  11. 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.

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

  13. 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

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

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

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

    ReplyDelete
  16. Here it comes. three run he run

    ReplyDelete
  17. home run. The meltdown is live!

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

    ReplyDelete
  19. Stanton hit that too hard for Witt.

  20. Rodon doesn't want people to get too happy.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Yankees killer plus Rodon started to lose it last inning.

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

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

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

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

    ReplyDelete
  26. My posts aren't showing up.

    Fuck the rodent

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

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

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

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

    ReplyDelete
  31. George Brett was funny in Brockmire

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

    ReplyDelete
  33. YSIII restrooms have the Master piped into them.

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

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

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

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

    ReplyDelete
  37. Bitty, sometimes you speak straight to my heart.

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

  39. What adult beverages did you consume tonight, Roofizz

    ReplyDelete
  40. 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....

    1. 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)

      Delete
  41. 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.

  42. "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."

    ReplyDelete
  43. @ 13 bit....Berti isn't a young guy-he's 34!

    ReplyDelete
  44. 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
