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.
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.
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.
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
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....
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.

Better than Game Two dread . . . .
ReplyDeleteBerti playing first. Never played first in a game before.
ReplyDeleteThat's My Boone.
DeleteFucking Boone is an idiot.
DeleteThat makes no sense at all. Must be why Boone likes this idea.

ReplyDeleteRodent with the cheese.
ReplyDeleteBoone must assume that Rodon will strike out 27 tonight, so defense is immaterial.
ReplyDeleteThree stinky serving of cheese!
ReplyDeleteAnd Boone is still the biggest moron in all of baseball!! Fuck fuck fuck fuck Boone!!!
Judge: rallykiller.
ReplyDeleteThat was pathetic.
ReplyDeleteMillions of people watching the postseason are saying, "I thought this Judge guy was supposed to be great?"
ReplyDeleteCan't keeping all these runners on base,
ReplyDeleteStill not late enough into the postseason for Stanton to attempt to run.
ReplyDeleteJasson for DH! Enough of this guy trotting

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

Rodon feeling himself
ReplyDeleteStanton looked faster than usual to me. Longer strides, too.
ReplyDeleteHey, the organist was playing "Eh, Cumpari." I'm impressed.
Now he's playing "Carry On Wayward Son."
ReplyDeleteHere it comes. three run he run
ReplyDeletehome run. The meltdown is live!
ReplyDeletenice choice by chizzom
ReplyDeleteHow about some good offense now! Let's score some runs;;;
ReplyDeleteCostas.
ReplyDeleteStanton hit that too hard for Witt.
ReplyDeleteWitt
Deleteshould have played back
just a little bit
MAN of GLASS!!
ReplyDeleteA CLUTCH HIT....MY GAWD!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGleyber chugs one out!
ReplyDeleteRodon doesn't want people to get too happy.
ReplyDeleteAh. Yes. That Rodon.
ReplyDeleteYankees killer plus Rodon started to lose it last inning.
ReplyDeleteRodenture.
ReplyDeleteHere comes the meltdown.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think that big group is talking about on the mound?
ReplyDeleteWasn't Renfro the creepy dude who ate flies in "Dracula?"
ReplyDeleteDinner reservations
ReplyDeleteIs TBS getting paid by the George Brett foundation? Enough of that guy!!!
ReplyDeleteEnough of that guy forty-five years ago!
DeleteThis is Rodon’s version of a shut-down inning, I guess.
ReplyDeleteMy posts aren't showing up.
ReplyDeleteFuck the rodent
This team’s group mentality will be very happy with a split.
ReplyDeleteFrom looking at him and listening to Darling talk about him, seems like Brett is still a major league asshole.
ReplyDeleteA first-rate A-hole!
DeleteThere’s the Alex Verdugo we’ve come to know & love.
ReplyDeleteJohn keeps saying Yankees are down 3 to 1. I think it's 4 but I'm not going to argue with the Master.
ReplyDeleteSmoke on the Water?
ReplyDeleteGeorge Brett was funny in Brockmire
ReplyDeleteThat was a great show.
DeleteHe was pretty funny in the pine tar game, too.
ReplyDeleteYSIII restrooms have the Master piped into them.
ReplyDeleteBeats a sharp stick in the eye, but only by a little
Phuck Pham!
ReplyDeleteNeed more booze.
ReplyDeleteYear after year we have to endure these Cash Trash lineups. I agree with Rufus, more booze please!
ReplyDeleteRufus, get more booze. And get the Slab o' Bacon onna Stick as a chaser. Enjoy what you can while you can.
ReplyDeleteThe Jazz! JAZZ HANDS!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd now, a word from the too little, too large department.
ReplyDeleteAssholes
ReplyDeleteBitty, sometimes you speak straight to my heart.
ReplyDeleteThose pphhukking teases!
ReplyDeleteSsssylvester said....
ReplyDeleteCarlos Rodon as your no. 2 starter. Jon Berti on first base. One slugger who can't hit, another who can't run. Whatever.
ReplyDeleteWhat adult beverages did you consume tonight, Roofizz
ReplyDeleteAA - 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....
ReplyDeleteWhatever he did toss back, in whatever quantities, each beverage must have started off right in front of him.
Delete(Other than a typo - Keefe sums up the horrible, horrific, horror of the series so far)
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.

ReplyDeleteThe dog woke me
Delete"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@ 13 bit....Berti isn't a young guy-he's 34!
ReplyDeleteFor the record,
ReplyDeleteLunch 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
