Well, starting off right…

BTR999 said...

Judge just set the all-time record for most 1st inning homers in a single season (19)

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Finally found the game on the Kazakstani sports network

AboveAverage said...

How’s the reception ?

BTR999 said...

Rice is an awful 1B man. Of course, having infielders who can reach first base would help.

Publius said...

It's a well-known story, but its great, so in honor of Joe D-

When the missus returned from a USO trip to Korea, Joe asked her how it went.

"Oh Joe, they were so excited, it was so loud, enormous crowds, they were ecstatic. You never heard anything like it."

"Yes I have"

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Finally got rid of the snow after adjusting the rabbit ears. Your show of shows is being promoted as the postgame lineup.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Guy Cabellero didn't look happy, but maybe he shouldn't have sidearmed it. I was actually starting to like him. Less so now. Own your errors and move on.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Jizz Chasm is this decade's Curtis Granderson. Just with a lot more screwups. If I'd have heard 39 hrs and 47 SB over a year, I'd say hell yeah. Yet somehow, he seems disappointing.

Well, at least he's not Gleyber.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

There was an ad giving a promo rate for Borat's sister. Half off if you placed a bet on tonights goat polo.

Parson Tom said...

they all suck. every single one of them. except for when they don't. then they're great.
case in point: Stanton sucks. strikes out too much, can't field, can't run and he gets hurt all the time. but then he hits a monster home run and he's great.

HoraceClarke66 said...

Yes, Granderson had his limitations. But he generally performed up to them, and gave us one truly great year. Jazz...is a histrionic ballplayer who is always all over the place. A good manager might calm him down. Where do we find one of them?

BTR999 said...

Let me state the obvious and say 2 runs won’t be enough to win this,

Publius said...

There are no routine double play balls, not for the 2025 Yankees

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Check outside the Yankees organization

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Comes with free bleach

BTR999 said...

Baseball!

Hinkey Haines said...

Guess the Yankees were due to get away with it one when they actively tried to run themselves out of an inning.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

OK, Gil was on pitch count and is not a big guy. B-b-b-b-b-but, who the fork would be better now? I'm going with no one.

BTR999 said...

No lead safe with this bullpen

TheWinWarblist said...

This is how it starts.

Hinkey Haines said...

At least it was only a solo shot.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Okay that's better somehow

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Granderson was also a really nice guy - especially to kids looking for an autograph (my daughter, not me dressed up as a man child, but thanks for asking)

Hinkey Haines said...

And the Devin Williams Experience is now on center stage!

DickAllen said...

Boone is insane. He keeps going to Williams expecting different results.

Hinkey Haines said...

Phew. Got away with it tonight…

BTR999 said...

Love Dat Bunt

Hinkey Haines said...

A bunt there, & they tried a squeeze play with Cabellero. Nice to see.

And Boston is fielding even worse than the Yankees. What a world.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

AA, just remember, -- I still have the negatives. Not your daughter (that's sick), but you in the man child outfit. Delivering pizza. To Ron Jeremy.

Kevin said...

Don't know why, but I was thinking about that story not even five minutes before I read your post. Nobody will ever convince me that there isn't something sqquueey going on behind the curtains.

Hinkey Haines said...

33 winning seasons in a row! Does that come with some kind of prize?

BTR999 said...

I’m satisfied…for tonight

Rufus T. Firefly said...

The P.T. Barnum prize. On us.

Or maybe the Lucy with the football prize. Take your pick.

And remember if it's not a booger then it's snot.

AboveAverage said...

Sleep tight, Commentarians.

Remember to be kind to everyone you meet overnight in your dreams . . .

(unless they're dreamworld ass holes . . . )

AboveAverage said...

Rufus went to a place I could never go to . . . . . . (Ron Jeremy....ewwww)

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Ok, we're even then. For all those disturbing visuals from game threads a few weeks back.

Not for the martinis you said you'd mix for me
