So normally I wear the cap of whatever team is in-season. Today, for the first summer in I don’t know how long, I left my Yankee cap on the dresser & wore a random, non-team hat. This is serious. I’m in Doug K territory.
The big question, though, is, should I keep drinking? My wife has stopped, but (a) I’m lightly injured & can’t run for a few days, (b) the idiotic Big Dumbass Bill has passed, & (c) the Yankees suck. So … seems like another drink is in order.
Knowing this group, I think I know the answer, but input is welcome.
AA: when I drink, I start calling people i haven’t spoken to in a while. So I’ve bern bust not paying attention to you, my estimable fellow travelers. My last bottle was something called Rye on Rye - beer aged in rue barrels, or something like that.
The last few seasons have been like preliminary tremors around Vesuvius. The earth rocks a little bit, the peasants stop ploughing and tending the vineyards for a few minutes, looking up in trepidation...
Nope. Everything still intact. The team goes on to still win the division even after blowing 15 games off a 15 1/2-game lead. They win a couple division titles, make a couple ALC Series. They make the World Series!
Another good start this year. What could possibly go wrong? Surely, Vesuvius is extinct, and what we heard is its death rattle. Right? No need to go move a few hundred miles down the coast, or maybe head for Rome. Right?
Was that another rumble? Why is everything shaking? Hey, it'll be all right. Always has been before...

Have one stiff one, and chase it down with a cool one. That’s my four cents.
DeleteDid you take an arrow to the clavicle during archery training?
DeleteUnfortunate incident loading the trebuchet.
ReplyDeleteMust of really hurt
DeleteHopefully not an orchiectomy. Those are very painful without anesthesia.
DeleteI'm not even watching the game between dinner courses. Just reading the comments here. Much more entertaining.
ReplyDeleteIs there a rain delay? No one seems to be posting about the game.
Or... is it that bad?
What's in the box?!?!?!?
In the box…..oh that’s a pamphlet on what to do if you suffer a torsion
DeleteMichael Kay’s brain must be really REALLY big
ReplyDeleteThe Martian 👽 is raking
ReplyDeleteBurn the bed. Burn it.
ReplyDeleteMy Favorite Martian 3 for 3 so far today. That can only mean one thing: Boooooone will sit him tomorrow
ReplyDeleteBrooming in progress.,.
ReplyDeleteNever let a hot hitter keep playing. They need their rest.
ReplyDeleteThe Blue Jay radio booth says Schmidt left the game with forearm "tightness."
ReplyDeleteAll the good news here.
ReplyDeleteI'll go back to Dobie Gillis reruns.
There ARE better things to watch
DeleteAll I can say is Tuesday Weld-- rowr!!!! Humina humina!

AA, Are there? Tuesday was juicer than a freshwater clam!
DeleteI’ll compile a list…..
DeleteI am NOT watching. I AM drinking.
ReplyDeleteWhat did you decide on consuming?
DeleteChad Green sighting! Chad Green sighting!
ReplyDeleteLEITER SIGHTING!
ReplyDelete1-0
ReplyDeleteWow, I see that they've clawed to within a run. Woohoo! So much hopiness.
ReplyDeleteMust be time for this:

Scoreless inning from Leiter…..
ReplyDeleteGolly - did not think it was a possibility

ReplyDeleteFeel bettah
DeleteBern bust not? Or “haven’t been”.
ReplyDeleteI hope there’ll be another meet-up this summer where we can ignore the Yankees.
ReplyDeleteI recommend hudson valley as others have suggested.
DeleteWe can watch the future stars of the Yankees that will win the world series after we're all dead
Plus, we could probably get away with a bunch of signs that shit on management.
Sweep warning…
ReplyDeleteBAHAHAHAHAHAHAHWAWAWAWAHWAHWAH
ReplyDeleteThis just i: the Yankees suck.
ReplyDeleteThe pitching staff is suddenly falling apar Schmidt left game with forearm tightness, normally a precursor for TJ surgery.
ReplyDeleteIt’s all right behind them. Bye-Bye July rocks on.
ReplyDeleteIt's not what you want...

Worse, injured again and Schmidt might meet the surgeon. We got to see the overrated player Genius Cashman got for the great Joey Gallo.
ReplyDeleteSaw an astounding stat.
ReplyDeleteIn 2025, the Yankees are 8-52 (.154) with a runner on second an none out. The league average is .263.
Here's the over/under line on how many RBI resulted from those 8 hits: .5.
Place your bets.
