  1. Aaron Boone, aka "Hairy Bone" in the Corsican underworld, plots his batting order in silence. "Brains" Cashman sent him his marching orders, but Bone has decided that enough is enough. HE is going to call the shots from now on. He will show Brains who's who.

    1. I seem to recall an actor named Hairy Bone in a movie called "Caligula's Bacchanalia 6". It was popular in Cannes in the 70s. Not at the movie festival. Just in the alley off the main drag that had all the wares on display after dark.

      Or so a friend tells me.

  2. Fucking Williams in a close game. Boone is a stubborn man.

    1. Stubbornness implies a certain base line level of intelligence that our manager may not pO . . . .

      Nevermind

  5. Has there ever been a more mindless base runner uh, uh since Gleybor than Wells? Totally incapable of corrective action.

  8. Doval's refrain: "I'm getting closer to Clay Holmes."

      ...and a general manager.
      ...and a new owner.

  11. I'm really starting to dislike Mr. Doval. This would have been a really miserable game to have lost. But the lads are starting to show that they just might want this THANG.

  12. I’m old enough to remember when the sox were called the Pale Hose…you know they’re bad when they can’t beat the Yankees in x innings in their own park!

    But anyway:
    ⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️

  14. I’m old enough to remember when the owner cared, the GM & scouts recognized talent, the manager understood the game & the Yankees played in a stadium that wasn’t a corporate mausoleum.

  15. Boone licks the Analytics Putz Yankee organization ass very deep. I would tell them to fire me. I am doing it my way. However, he does get outmanaged too often.
