Rufus: “Nadsat is a fictional register or argot used by the teenage gang members in Anthony Burgess's dystopian novel A Clockwork Orange. Burgess was a linguist and he used this background to depict his characters as speaking a form of Russian-influenced English.” Kubrick used as much of Nadsat as he could when he wrote the adaptation for his film. “Yarbles” in Nadsat is often used to mean genitals. Tonight’s pitcher for the Yankees has a last name that sounds similar to Yarbles SO I decided to use Alex from Clockwork Orange again for the game thread photo illustration. If you ever find a bowler hat with a Yankees pin on it like the one little Alex is wearing PLEASE buy it for me and I will reimburse you for your outta pocket. Now let’s get on with the game!
Very nice outing by Yarborough. Volpe had the big hit! Peraza and Vivas continue to struggle against MLB pitching. We need another infielder, waiting for Chisolm is not working. Jizz was only batting .181 while striking out 35% of the time, so he is no savior.
Incidentally, whatever happened to The Dystopia? I mean, the Dystopia that we were promised? The one Anthony Burgess assured us would be full of leering Teddy boys spouting pidgin Russian? Or that New York that Frank Miller and his many droogies continue to guarantee us will be overrun by deranged villains requiring a Dark Batman?
How come all these fascist fantasies kept coming, hot and heavy, even as the crime rate plummeted, and our cities were overrun with...real estate agents?
Funny how we never got the Dystopia, just the Reaction.

Now let’s get on with the game!
Kevin usually pops in when I reference A Clockwork Orange…
DeleteAA,
ReplyDeleteI found Bo Peep. She seems to have settled down in you area.

Although I think this article may be as realistic as Duque's expose on Little Peggy.
We all know she was a dwarf in the bowery dwarf throwing contests. Remarkable talent but different.
*your* area.
ReplyDeleteToo lazy to repost.

ReplyDeleteRooting for the starting pitcher.
Now, back to the moonshine.
YES’ audio was messed up there for a bit
ReplyDeleteCan’t stand these WC games. This is gonna be a rough week.
ReplyDeleteMake that a rough 2 weeks.
They have a lot of those games out here.
DeletePoor JM must be unconscious.
Vivas is better than Gleyber.
I wonder……..
ReplyDeleteIs El Duque watching the game?
Is he monitoring the blog?
Is he getting enough Carvel ice cream in his daily diet?
ONLY heCAN TELL US
Stang has also been silent.
ReplyDeleteIs Stang OK?
Is he still alive?
How many fingers am I holding up? *
* I am holding up a number of fingers
THREE shhhhhhhhh
ReplyDeleteVolpe is still terrible.
ReplyDeleteCan you smell Volpe where you are, VonWinny?
DeleteI have fucking human granulocytic anaplasmosis. Which blows.
ReplyDeleteAnd Bites . . . .were you bitten by a tick?
DeleteThe symptoms sound remarkably similar to those experienced when watching Aaron Boone try to manage a close game. Hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteGood Evening Hinkey Haines
DeleteLeiter is our savior
ReplyDeleteWhy is Weaver in this game? So typical.
ReplyDeleteWeaver again. With a 4 run lead Boone is burning him out.
ReplyDeleteDidnt i just read this? When Boone latches onto a pitcher, he ruins the guy.
ReplyDeleteIt hasnt happened yet but he has to be wearing down
Boone is an Idiot
ReplyDeleteWeaver IS showing fatigue
ReplyDeleteED you could open on this point in the AM on Tuesday
When Kay is criticizing the managerial strategy, you know it’s bad.
DeleteBoone is too busy feasting on seeds to be concerned with his actions having any impact on future games.
ReplyDeleteIt had been a wonderful evening and what I needed now to give it the perfect ending was a bit of the old Ludwig van.
ReplyDeleteThank you Publius.
DeleteDid Weaver NEED to pitch today... good god
ReplyDeleteNope. As JM would say - BOONE IS AN IDIOT
DeleteThe Yankees won

ReplyDeleteI was cured all right.
ReplyDeleteIncidentally, whatever happened to The Dystopia? I mean, the Dystopia that we were promised? The one Anthony Burgess assured us would be full of leering Teddy boys spouting pidgin Russian?

That made me smile, Hoss.
DeleteThere's still time.
And there's still entertainment.
(for a few more months at least)
Real Horror Show
Boone is a Professional Idiot.
