Every bottle in my closet is empty. Even those with caps still on them.
As a borderline sober person this morning, I am relieved and out of breath.
Guys showed up last night whom I thought I had seen on a cruise ship in the Bahamas only two days earlier.
If I survive this series, and the Yankees win this series, I will have aged 4 years. And I don't have that much of a longevity cap remaining. But I'll take it.
There still remains one, accessible, juicy Ju-Ju fruit. ( from which the juice is derived, for those of who who are knowledgeable )
But it is at the very top of the tree and my ladder is made of bamboo. As are my arms.
Here we go, gents.
" Once more, into the breach."
This is what we live for, bamboo arms and all. I’d feel a whole hell of a lot worse if we had lost that miserable game last night. So, man up Alphonso, the Yankees are the best of the worst. Win tonight and they get to rest and reset.
ReplyDelete"That's what the Yankees do; they run the bases like drunks."
ReplyDeleteThe Master is our shepherd. He brings light into the darkness and warmth to the cold. He calms and soothes our pains. May His Truth sustain and rejuvenate.
Quite the article on The Athletic today about Giancarlo. A couple player quotes:
ReplyDelete“He cares about winning maybe more than anyone in our clubhouse,” Wells said. “That’s something that might tell you more than any other words. ”
“Every time you watch G go about his business,” Cole said, “there’s an opportunity to remind yourself, ‘Well, this is probably the right way to go about it.'”
“He cares a lot,” LeMahieu said. “He cares a lot about the team. He cares a lot about how he plays and how he prepares. … He does a lot around here and has everyone’s respect.”
For Stanton, there’s no title. There’s something perhaps deeper. “Reverence,” Boone said.
A different article:
ReplyDelete"...when you look at what Stanton has produced, when healthy, in the regular and postseasons, it’s starting to look like the kind of stuff you etch on a plaque."
Now there is some hyperbole for you. I will refrain from dissing Glassman for the immediate future. But if we're going to put his name on a plaque, it should be in a mausoleum. Two weeks pales in comparison to seven years of bad luck.
DeleteAlso seems like a lot of writers are finally talking about short starts and overuse of tired relievers. Us, Cleveland, LA, Mets...everyone is afflicted.
ReplyDeleteIs it to simple to say, develop starters who can go 7 innings fairly consistently?
DeleteBring back the knuckleballers 🤔🤔🤔!
DeleteYa idk...this team has...... chemistry I saw it when The team look liked they were bout all go to jail defending Volpe against the Royals....The team has also commented how Boone always has their back...perhaps the style as much as we all hate it comes with some proa.....if only one of them was TEACHING THEM TO RUN THE DAM BASES
ReplyDeleteWell, is suppose instead of trying to be the players best friend Boone COULD ACTUALLY TRYING COACHING THEM!!!

ReplyDeleteWTF! Does Booooone think he's Jesus and can somehow resurrect the dead bat of Jazz? Good god, the guy has simply disappeared altogether. Could Cabrera be any worse?
ReplyDeleteI'd rather see Rizzo cleanup and Stanton behind him.
ReplyDeleteI don’t even know why we’re gonna play because we’re definitely going to win. I guess we have to show up.
