There should be a fire sale at Yankee Stadium tonight & tomorrow. Trying to fill in the blanks & make a run this year is a fool’s errand. Of course, they have just the right fools for the job…
That could be the stupidest baseball play I have ever seen (and I am officially eligible to play in the Super Seniors event at the World Series of Poker).
How da fuqq did Wells think that was the third out? It was a FUKKING BUNT? Does he really think it was a sacrifice bunt with 2 outs?
I mean, I know Boone is the manager, but I don’t think that even he could call for that.
—Good to see that Volpe at least seems to have found his balls. —I know Williams had great success in Milwaukee. But I've said it before and I'll say it again: I don't understand a closer whose big pitch is a change-up. A change-up only works off a great fastball. Which he doesn't have. —Great catch by The Martian. There is no reason, period, to bench him again this season. —Saying on the postgame that Wells will "have to answer some questions" about forgetting how many outs there were. Horseshit. Questions, nothing. He should have to answer to his manager's tirade, followed by a hefty fine and a benching. Instead, asked about it at the postgame presser, Boone told the gentlemen of the press: "Whattaya say? Can't happen."
WHATTAYA SAY??? You say it to Wells and Wells alone, sure. But you should say PLENTY.

Sorry, Kevin, the Mets scooped them up today. Supposedly two of the best relievers in the game—gone to Flushing, for a whole lotta nothing. Unless you mean all the relievers Cashman was going to sign after the 2023 season? Or was it 2022? The years go by, and the Cashman promises all run together, like a great river to the sea.
So we as Yankees fans are doomed to having our guts eaten by vultures, yet given time in the off-season to heal and have hope. Possibly for Eternity. This then is what Fate has in store for us, a ship.of fools already dead without the realization of our fate. You're right, Horace, I have felt now for sometime now a feeling of dread that seemed a bit overwrought. Now I see how the sailors of the Flying Dutchman are in their eternal anguish. We jumped aboard the ship that the accursed Red Sox sailed, unwittingly with eyes wide shut and took seats next to Bill Lee, Tony C, and a centuries worth of players with the choke gene. There's a signpost up ahead. We have now entered "The Red Sox Zone"...
The Miseducation of Anthony Volpe will go down as the textbook case on how to ruin a young player's development. 1) Failure to teach fundamentals (like all Yankee prospects) 2) Failure to teach situational hitting (like all Yankee prospects) 3) bring him up before he's finished his development 4) overhype him as the second coming of Derek Jeter 5) Playing him EVERY FRIGGIN' DAY no matter how much he screws up, even when he's obviously hurt 6) Never discipline him for boneheaded fielding decisions 7) No back up shortstop
Given all this, I'm not ready to put it all on Volpe. His underdevelopment, sleepwalking performances and terrible mismanagement is an organizational problem we've seen repeated endlessly by this team.

Whatever happened to all those savages in the box?
ReplyDeleteBoooooone is not only an idiot, he’s also blind.
ReplyDeleteThey're all right there in front of Volpe.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a lottery drawing, where we all lose.
He’s starting to bring back memories of Chuck Knoblauch
ReplyDeleteHe's really, REALLY good out there.
ReplyDeleteBest yet.
Really.
Elite.
Get over it.
Happy birthday AA!
DeleteI'll ask the question my brother used to ask my mother on her birthday: are you wearing your birthday suit? And do you need bail money?
Yes and Yes, please. They require mixed currency-no bills over hundreds.
DeleteI'll see what's in the sofa cushions and get back to you.
DeleteDick Allen - show some respect. Boone is a PROFESSIONAL idiot.
ReplyDeleteI’d like to apologize, but truthfully there’s nothing
Deleteabout Booooone that I’d call professional. Except maybe his expertise at kissing ass.
Wasn’t expecting a comeback…
ReplyDeleteStill time to lose.
DeleteLong ball coming . . . ?
ReplyDeleteThat’s more like it…
ReplyDeleteYepperz!
ReplyDeleteWilliams is such an unbelievable piece of shit
ReplyDeleteFor fuck’s sake.
ReplyDeleteSSDD.
ReplyDeleteFUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!FUCKERS!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are the fastest typist I have ever seen, Winny
DeleteI love these Yankees.
ReplyDelete‘Love them a lot !
I love Boone !
I love Hal !
I love Pal !
So much Love !
Ahem. How the fuck did they find someone equally bad to replace Clay "Blown Save" Holmes as closer? It bogles.
ReplyDeleteWilliams just gave me a w o n d e r f u l birthday gift.
ReplyDeleteThere should be a fire sale at Yankee Stadium tonight & tomorrow. Trying to fill in the blanks & make a run this year is a fool’s errand. Of course, they have just the right fools for the job…
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday from the New York Yankees! 🥳 Sending warm wishes on your special day!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday (non-Yankees version), AA.
ReplyDeleteCaptains Log, stardate 7 3 25. My hemorrhoids have bursted like cheese filled bratwursts.
ReplyDeleteI hope there's no rat feces in that bratwurst.
DeleteVolpe?
ReplyDeleteVolpe responds to my ….. editorial.
ReplyDeleteFirst the Sweathog, then Holmes, and now this guy. At least he makes us forget all about our fucking elite shirtstop
ReplyDeleteSo, does Volpe finish the season with more errors or HRs? Right now it’s even.
ReplyDeleteAnother day, another VOLPE-6 (#16) throw.
ReplyDeleteWilliams must change his last name to Dole for obvious reasons.
WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED?
ReplyDeleteErrors. He collects those in bunches when he goes on a tear.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you Hinkey. A really smart GM could probably deal Bellinger, Grisham, Williams, Wells, Rice, and Volpe, and get a lot.
ReplyDeleteOops, I'm sorry. I said a really smart GM. Too bad we don't have one of those.
IS NO ONE PAYING ATTENTION?
ReplyDeleteMore exciting base running by the home team.
ReplyDeleteIT WAS TWO FUCKING OUTS!
ReplyDeleteBunting into a sacrifice double play is a new one.
ReplyDeleteAt least this team has originality
DeleteThat could be the stupidest baseball play I have ever seen (and I am officially eligible to play in the Super Seniors event at the World Series of Poker).
ReplyDeleteHow da fuqq did Wells think that was the third out? It was a FUKKING BUNT? Does he really think it was a sacrifice bunt with 2 outs?
I mean, I know Boone is the manager, but I don’t think that even he could call for that.
Boone most certainly could have. Boone is a professional idiot.
ReplyDeleteYou can’t make this shit up
ReplyDeleteThe Yankees continue to play great fundamental baseball. Their coaching staff is indeed elite.
ReplyDeleteSorry, we're out of mango sorbet. I hope everyone likes pineapple.
ReplyDeleteIs there a word that is the opposite of "heroics" in English?
ReplyDelete“We’ve got to find a way to get better,’’ Boone said. “…we’re gonna find out if we’re the team we think we are.”
ReplyDeleteThey are not the team they think they are.
Love pineapple. Not usually rectal administration, but yeah, I like pineapple.
ReplyDeleteAmazing how pineapple tastes differently in Jamaica…not as sweet..
ReplyDeleteThat's the spliff talking.🙃
DeleteI thought Guy Caballero died last year?
ReplyDeleteGuy Lombardo Rufus?
ReplyDeleteaka Joe Flaherty
Deleteaka Sammy Maudlin and Floyd Robertson. Flaherty was so great. I loved the old SCTV show.
DeleteOh, and happy birthday, AA!
ReplyDeleteWhy can’t we fucking bunt?
ReplyDeleteYes Happy B’day AA…
ReplyDeleteHuge failure by Goldschmidt there
ReplyDeleteAdvancing the runner with a sacrifice is unheroic!!
ReplyDeleteBells comes through…
ReplyDeleteBelli Bomber
ReplyDeleteOr impossible when you have diminishing skills and can no longer hit a RHP. Only a Truly Professional IDIOT won't pinch hit for you.
ReplyDeleteKeep those pineapples on ice for now…
ReplyDeleteCody Bellinger is IIH’s official “Happy Birthday” player (he had 3 HRs on my birthday and the clutch triple on AA’s birthday tonight)
ReplyDeleteOf course, this being the Yankees, Bellinger will probably get caught trying to steal second.
ReplyDeleteStanton ruining my parlay…
ReplyDeleteWhat was your other leg, Ranger?
DeleteTaylor Ward over 0.5 RBIs. Stanton over 1.5 total bases
DeleteStanton is now 100% guess hitter. He guessed wrong there
ReplyDeleteCould Stanton have had a worse AB?
ReplyDeleteThere’s still plenty of ABs left in him…
DeleteThis is fcking torture
ReplyDeleteSomeone get the nylon thread for Hill's arm and shoulder.
ReplyDeleteThis is NOT helping the bullpen budget…
ReplyDeleteWin or lose--and it's probably lose--there is just no joy in any of this.
ReplyDeleteHoly shit. Volpe caught the ball. And threw it to the first baseman without bouncing it …. ON THE SAME PLAY!!
ReplyDeleteWoo-hoo!
The Martian will get doused by the bucket tonight!
ReplyDeleteso much for that prediction
ReplyDeleteYankees Win!!!
ReplyDeleteWoo hoo, I think.
ReplyDeleteWow
ReplyDeleteNever in doubt.
ReplyDeleteThat was some game
ReplyDeleteInstant Yankee Classic…
ReplyDeleteThe suckage. The suckage.
ReplyDeleteYou guys brought it home!
ReplyDeleteCouldn't find where the game was—just streaming?—but when it seemed to go better, I figured I'd better not put it on, even if I could find it.
ReplyDeleteWednesdays are always Amazon Prime games…
DeleteAlright!
ReplyDeleteJack Curry is not wearing any pants in the post game show
Okay, just saw the highlights:
ReplyDelete—Good to see that Volpe at least seems to have found his balls.
—I know Williams had great success in Milwaukee. But I've said it before and I'll say it again: I don't understand a closer whose big pitch is a change-up. A change-up only works off a great fastball. Which he doesn't have.
—Great catch by The Martian. There is no reason, period, to bench him again this season.
—Saying on the postgame that Wells will "have to answer some questions" about forgetting how many outs there were. Horseshit. Questions, nothing. He should have to answer to his manager's tirade, followed by a hefty fine and a benching. Instead, asked about it at the postgame presser, Boone told the gentlemen of the press: "Whattaya say? Can't happen."
WHATTAYA SAY??? You say it to Wells and Wells alone, sure. But you should say PLENTY.

ReplyDeleteA candy-colored clown they call the sandman
Tiptoes to my room every night
Just to sprinkle stardust and to whisper
Go to sleep, everything is alright
I close my eyes then I drift away
Into the magic night, I softly say
A silent prayer like dreamers do
Then I fall asleep to dream my dreams of you
In dreams I walk with you
In dreams I talk to you
In dreams you're mine all of the time
We're together in dreams, in dreams
But just before the dawn
I awake and find you gone
I can't help it
I can't help it
If I cry
I remember that you said goodbye
It's too bad that all these things
Can only happen in my dreams
Only in dreams
In beautiful dreams
And with that it's time for a Pabst Blue Ribbon!
Jasson saved the day
ReplyDeleteBtw, where is that stable of stud pitchers that The Brain was dreaming of bringing in?
ReplyDeleteSorry, Kevin, the Mets scooped them up today. Supposedly two of the best relievers in the game—gone to Flushing, for a whole lotta nothing. Unless you mean all the relievers Cashman was going to sign after the 2023 season? Or was it 2022? The years go by, and the Cashman promises all run together, like a great river to the sea.
ReplyDeleteSo we as Yankees fans are doomed to having our guts eaten by vultures, yet given time in the off-season to heal and have hope. Possibly for Eternity. This then is what Fate has in store for us, a ship.of fools already dead without the realization of our fate. You're right, Horace, I have felt now for sometime now a feeling of dread that seemed a bit overwrought. Now I see how the sailors of the Flying Dutchman are in their eternal anguish. We jumped aboard the ship that the accursed Red Sox sailed, unwittingly with eyes wide shut and took seats next to Bill Lee, Tony C, and a centuries worth of players with the choke gene. There's a signpost up ahead. We have now entered "The Red Sox Zone"...
DeleteAnd Mariners got Suarez. We're in it to not win it.
ReplyDeleteThe Miseducation of Anthony Volpe will go down as the textbook case on how to ruin a young player's development.
ReplyDelete1) Failure to teach fundamentals (like all Yankee prospects)
2) Failure to teach situational hitting (like all Yankee prospects)
3) bring him up before he's finished his development
4) overhype him as the second coming of Derek Jeter
5) Playing him EVERY FRIGGIN' DAY no matter how much he screws up, even when he's obviously hurt
6) Never discipline him for boneheaded fielding decisions
7) No back up shortstop
Given all this, I'm not ready to put it all on Volpe. His underdevelopment, sleepwalking performances and terrible mismanagement is an organizational problem we've seen repeated endlessly by this team.
