Longest Day game thread

  1. Birds jump right on our best pitcher as we are victimized by an ex-Yankee, as per usual.

  2. The interpreter is covering his mouth.

    Are our lipreading Japanese spies that good?

  3. Stanton had plenty of hittable pitches. Didn’t hit ‘em. Now come the dregs of the lineup.

  4. Seems to me that all Japanese pitchers have very similar deliveries

  5. The John Sterling blog is now devoid of any threads but this one.

    Be verrrrrrrrrryyyyyy afraid.

  6. So disappointed looking at the YES pregame. Had an old clip of Ken Singleton. Thought they might have him as guest announcer with the Orioles in town

  7. Volpe is such a fucking, rally-killing asshole

  8. And now Boooooone is trying to squeeze another out with Fried. And as usual, it’s costly and foolish hope

  9. He always manages to lose a couple of runs every time he tries to leave pitcher in just a little too long, hoping to steal an out or two.

  10. Rufus, you should be watching the Orioles' feed on MASN with Jim Palmer. Better commentary than on YES.

    1. Carl, thanks. Just switched it on. Reminded me that I miss Gary Thorne. He use to do the Orioles games when I would occasionally work in Baltimore/DC. His audio was always in the backhalls of Camden Yards.
      Jim Palmer is an underappreciated pitcher and broadcaster. Male model, not so much...

  11. Rufus, Sir. Your Longest Day post might have awakened an anti-IIIHIIFIIC Sleeper Cell.

    1. No one has asked who was in the pic.

      Almost as disappointed about that.

  12. Volpe is unwatchable. They have Judge a day off but not him?!

  13. Easy picture to recognize if you're an old geezer like me: Paul Anka.

    1. Ooops! I think you’re right Carl.

    2. Picture from the movie.
      What a career, mostly forgotten.

      He did it his way.

  14. No rehab for Weaver. Hey, a month off, he's ready for MLB hitters. Why wouldn't he be? Of course Boonie immediately puts him in a high leverage situation, in the midst of a lost 7 of 8 streak when the offense simply isn't functioning. Why wouldnt he? What an organization.

    1. My thoughts exactly. They need REAL baseball people, not the current group of poseurs.

  15. It is very sad. Very sad, but not unexpected.

  16. As usual, the team goes down without a peep in the 7th, 8th, 9th

  17. Methinks the June Swoon is not over so soon

  18. Hey Rufus. . .

    Who’s that in the picture?

    (Asking for a friend)

  19. Yankees so bad they couldn't even keep their "no runs" streak going.

    Remember the era of "Yo Mama" jokes?
