...with this, but that pitcher we brought up to start yesterday looked good.
I will probably call him Shitlist for a while, just because I am bad with names.
And because that is a document upon which my name was often included. Just ask the principal of PS number 8 in Yonkers , NY, or many of the coaches whose team I was trying to make.
Seriously, the dude looked like he can pitch. It was one of the few times in memory that a touted prospect ( although his touting....minor league pitcher of the year ... was unbeknownst to me) has delivered, so to speak.
I would pencil him in for a start every fifth day right now.
Praise be to someone.
At least we are transparent about our Yonkers roots, Alphonso, although I won't put the PS number I attended in Yonkers on the web because they are still looking for me....
ReplyDeleteAs for Los Yanquis, I remember when Joba was the new phenom. I remember the Three Amigos. I remember a lot of stuff. Let's see how much of this pancake sticks to the wall.
Back in the day, I went to P.S. 24 near the race track...
ReplyDeleteIn my case, they wont find anything on me...
ReplyDeleteWe were not far apart - back in the day...
DeleteI'm not from Yonkers but my family was inordinately fond of
ReplyDeleteBo Sun - for Chinese
Carlos - for Italian
and Adventurers for everything else.
We used to go to Luigi's on Central Avenue for Italian...
DeleteAnd for Chinese Hunan Villiage...
DeleteCarlos...we didn't eat out much, but I remember the existence of Carlos. I was more familiar with the local pizza places and the delis.
DeleteLet's not forget Patricia Murphy's on central Avenue . For the big events.

ReplyDeleteAdventurers before Nathan's took it over.
I remember going there...
DeleteI lost many quarters and years of my troubled youth to Adventurers and then Nathans.
DeleteWho knows where the threads go?
ReplyDeleteBo Sun was near the library. All three on Central Ave
ReplyDeleteThis has all the making of a no-hitter tonight.
ReplyDeleteThe 3B platoon of Vivas/Peraza might be the worst hitting one in the history of baseball.
ReplyDeleteGame.
ReplyDeleteYou know, the Yankees weren’t no-hit once this season when DJ LeMahieu was on the team ….
ReplyDeleteJust sayin’
I’ll be at the stadium tomorrow. Someone on this team better hit something tomorrow night.
ReplyDeleteIs this a comeback or a tease?
ReplyDeleteThis team loves to tease.
DeleteAnd the real question is … how early do I have to get to the stadium tomorrow to get a Billy Joel bobblehead?
ReplyDeleteIt’s a comeback!
ReplyDeleteOh well. Volpe falls short & now they’ll lose in extra innings.
ReplyDeleteThe Scooter is looking down from Yankee heaven disgusted at that bunt.
ReplyDeleteYankees Win!!!
ReplyDeleteIt’s a Yankee Classic…
ReplyDeleteWhat’s the opposite of a pineapple?
ReplyDelete…. but he’s thrilled at that slide by Volpe
ReplyDeleteI thought he was a dead duck - it was a nice slide.
ReplyDeleteThis would have been an impressive WinWarble from The Master tonight.
ReplyDeleteOh, absolutely. Would’ve shown up on the Richter-scale.
ReplyDeleteThis old NY lotto commercial reminds me of BaBoone making excuses for Peraza and the team.

I remember that commercial! It was a good one.
DeleteA real comebacker, just like they used to do…and in x innings!
ReplyDeleteBig props to Volpe on that slide. Pro play!
