Rufus T. Firefly said...: MLB.tv is $23 for the rest of the season. Trying to decide between that or LevelUp IPTV. I f***ing hate giving mlb money, but...

Oh, and the Yankees kinda started the game out ok.; August 28, 2025 at 8:17 PM
13bit said...: Does that include the post season, aka "the extended season for all"?; August 28, 2025 at 8:19 PM
Pocono Steve said...: Volpe's such an asshole.; August 28, 2025 at 8:19 PM
AboveAverage said...: Oh and the blacksox kinda started the game out ok too; August 28, 2025 at 8:31 PM
Carl J. Weitz said...: Rufus...I'd go with Apollogroup.tv
I've had it for 6 years. No buffering and pretty much the same as the other one except no porn, LOL.; August 28, 2025 at 8:32 PM
BTR999 said...: Struggling with the White Sox; August 28, 2025 at 8:38 PM
BTR999 said...: Volpe with a hit. With 2 out, of course; August 28, 2025 at 8:47 PM
BTR999 said...: Also need to comment what a terrible hitter McMahon is.; August 28, 2025 at 8:48 PM
BernBabyBern said...: So, Mark Teixeira is running for Congress in Texas as a MAGA guy. Says he wants to end “radical woke indoctrination.” Which I assume means the whole runner-on-second-in-the-10th-inning thing.; August 28, 2025 at 9:05 PM
BTR999 said...: I always thought he was an asshole. Now he’s confirmed it.; August 28, 2025 at 9:06 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: Carl,

Went to sign up to apollo. They wanted a photo ID and said my McLovin ID was not readable. Plus they want bitcoin, which to this luddite is a non-starter. That's why I was looking at LevelUp.; August 28, 2025 at 9:09 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: Hey, it was only one grand slam. I can hear Boonie-head saying he pitched well except for one pitch.; August 28, 2025 at 9:11 PM
AboveAverage said...: The I Ching says that the Yankees need three more runs to win this game.

Please plan accordingly . . .; August 28, 2025 at 9:13 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: They *claim* it does. Your results may vary.; August 28, 2025 at 9:14 PM
AboveAverage said...: Second toss:

When a bird flies too high, its song is lost.
Rather than push upward now, it is best to remain below.
This will bring surprising good fortune, if you keep to your course.

in other words, demote Volpe and the team will win the division; August 28, 2025 at 9:19 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: May the bluebird of happiness not take a shit on your windshield.; August 28, 2025 at 9:26 PM
BernBabyBern said...: Apparently Melky Cabrera and CC Sabathia have had some not-so-nice things to say about Tex.; August 28, 2025 at 9:35 PM
AboveAverage said...: Too late; August 28, 2025 at 9:50 PM
BTR999 said...: I know, right? And he’ll be praising Volpe like he was the second coming of christ; August 28, 2025 at 9:55 PM
ranger_lp said...: Tomato Can Week continues…; August 28, 2025 at 10:04 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: Melky had very nice things to say about Mary Carey.; August 28, 2025 at 10:09 PM
ranger_lp said...: Yankees Win!!!; August 28, 2025 at 10:27 PM
AboveAverage said...: Won; August 28, 2025 at 10:28 PM
BTR999 said...: Happy to get any win, but let’s face it - this a low bar among low bars.

Teams like the gnats and chisox are a sad commentary on the modern game.; August 28, 2025 at 10:48 PM
AboveAverage said...: Exactly; August 28, 2025 at 11:29 PM
JM said...: How many runs, how many extra pitches will Volpe cost us in the stretch? Just terrible. This is not the time to help a guy "work out his problems."; August 29, 2025 at 4:07 AM
