Or is it like a big wad of Dubble Bubble someone carelessly spat out on a hot summer sidewalk?
Yes, he's back...we're stuck with him.
Buena suerte, amigos.

As I (and several others here have stated) THIS NOW IS FOR LIFE, or until Boone steps down for health reasons.
ReplyDeleteThe Deep Bronx geneticists working on "Project Pettingly" (revealed earlier on this blog) also have a Boone replacement in development. Coded named simply "Boone #2".
There was no information available whether Boone #2 would incorporate any genetic material from other Yankees managers that samples were collected from (specifically Torre and Giradi) as everyone remains unsurprisingly tight lipped about the program.
This is really cool, AA. It means that there is room for improvement. Little known fun factoid: Casey Stengel's cock and one testicle, in a jar with formaldehyde, sit on top of the first locker as you enter the locker room at the Stadium. There were two testicles, but Jason Giambi accidentally ate one when he was out of it one day and mistook it for a pork snack. He had to climb on a box and apologize to the whole team afterwards. From then on, they put some duct tape on the jar lid and all is good. PERHAPS, they can use some of Casey's DNA to improve Boone's replicant brain. The model number could be Boone # 3 (Dickhead Variant).

ReplyDeleteBitty, I believe, had a good point about Gleyber: why, once again, could Brian Cashman not get a player or two for the guy? Last year, or the year before? I guess it's that whole "thinking ahead" problem again.
ReplyDeleteI have no problem with taking a shot with The Martian in center. Why not? I think re-signing Soto is worth the risk of trying unproven kids at other positions; it's about time we tried that, anyway. And even if we don't sign Soto, it's not like we're going to beat the bushes and come up with terrific players to fill those other holes (though our resident holes, Hal & Pal, will pretend that we're going to do just that).
ReplyDeleteI hope the Martian is camped in Tampa working on his fielding all winter, because he's far from ready to field center in the MLB. He'd be an exciting DH, but, well, you know...
ReplyDeleteIf there's one thing in life, it's that the word "fail" is the subtext of 'try." Cashman will "try" to sign Soto.
As for cloning Boone, why bother? You could tie him to a horse like El Cid and run him out every game. It's not like he actually makes any decisions. AI can manufacture his voice to give us the usual banalities, like
"If we don't score, it's tough to win."
"As human beings, we all fall down and all fall short."
"Spring training entails trying to get individuals ready."
"I've learned, but we're constantly trying to learn and evaluate from every situation I've been in."
"We want to go out and be a champion, and it adds for a lot of motivation when you know what that prize is."
"Look, I think everyone that goes in the playoffs, there's pressure in these games. There's a lot on the line, there's a lot to play for, you want to do well, and you're going up against the best of the best and great opponents."
"Sometimes it takes time to reach your potential."
"I've had a good career."
Boone is going to "try" and win ball games. But it takes time to reach your potential, ya know?
