This unmitigated bullshit about Manfred's "Golden At-Bat" got me thinking about something that is actually real and critical:
It's time again for the Golden Snowball, the annual battle of upstate NY cities to be christened the Blizzard Backwaters, the citadel of slush.
Of course, you figure Buffalo has charged out to an impossible lead, right? Nope. For all its ballyhooed Monday Night Football storm, Buffalo has whiffed. Its airport, where the National Weather Service takes its readings, was not in the snow band.
It's as if they loaded the bases with no outs and didn't score. Remind you of anybody?
As for Soto, I'm not gonna say nuthin.' No locker room quotes. Nothing. But by now, he knows exactly where he's going. It's time to end this auction. It's time he reveals his plans. Now.
In the meantime, here are the standings...

Should we discuss the Royal golden shower or leave that for another day?
I think we can leave Royal and/or Presidential golden showers undiscussed.
If the Mets were smart they would sign Gleyber to play second and trade McNeil. Why? Gleyber is Soto's best friend on the Yankees. Much how the Yankees signed Rizzo FIRST to try to keep Judge in the fold.
TBH, I’m beyond bored with the whole Soto decision. One thing the pundits all agree on is the decision is forthcoming within a week. Hope so, there’s a lot of heavy lifting for the team to do.
Please allow me to be the first the broach a topic that will get bigger and bigger as time goes on: a strike or lockout in 2027. Owners are not going to tolerate the current system ad infinitum. The first storm clouds can already be seen with the current flux over local broadcast rights. It all may seem insignificant for the Yankees and their fans right now, but I do believe there will be a significant work stoppage in 2027, perhaps even cancelling the entire season.
MLB's executive suite: lame.
The Yankees executive suite: lame.
Elvis' 1957 tour suit: lamé.
Binghamton is going to be hard to beat with that early lead. But with the Lake Effect and three months minimum of winter to go, it's not a lock.
Albany? A pisher. Watertown--now you're talking.
One good blizzard can change everything for Syracuse. It’s kind of like the golden at bat…
C'mon, 'Cuse!
I've looked at this thing six ways to Sunday, as we used to say, and there is absolutely no way that the New York Yankees are going to re-sign Juan Soto. None, zero, zilch, nada, uh-uh.
The worst part about this? They are deliberately pretending that there IS a chance, so they can oblige Boras by driving the money up for his client—and because they don't have the guts to come out and say, "We think we should go a different way." (In good part, because they don't KNOW a different way.)
It is such an act of casual sadism. The Yankees never stick the knife into their fan base without giving it a good, long twist. No Soto, the Golden At-Bat, AND a work stoppage through 2027? That is going to be one mighty empty Stadium by 2028.
@Hoss, it's the opposite thinking...Boros is using the Yankees to drive up the Mets price...
So, who lives at the airport?.
Severino to the A’s for $22M per yr, 3 years…the A’s biggest contract in their history and it goes to…Luis Severino? MLB will truly eat itself.
I give up. Who lives at the airport?
$22 million sure doesn't buy what it used to.
And in other news...
The end of a New York sports radio era will conclude as “The Michael Kay Show” will soon broadcast its last program in the afternoon time slot on ESPN New York.
Funny thing is, Cash will trade for Sevy (and his contract) at the deadline. Sevy'll be 5-6 with a 3.85 ERA. Cash will give up the Yanks second best prospect, and two raw lottery tickets for him. Cash will brag that they have their game 2 starter.
Publius, I assume you mean game 2 of the 2026 season, since it’s not like the 2025 Yankees are making it to the playoffs.
That won't stop Cash from bragging
I'm with you, Hoss. I have it on good authority that Soto has already said "NYET" to comrades Hal and Brian. We should all be getting ready for the golden butt plug or, in more polite company, for the golden pineapple.
The signing of Sevy triggered a 7.3 earthquake off the coast of Eureka, CA resulting in urgent tsunami alerts along the coast. Authorities are investigating…
LOL
Why. Just fucking why. Is it too soon to hope that HAL and CashBrain get United Health Cared?
You really need to add Watertown to your race. Or is that a bridge too far?
