Hilarious starts at the beginning of the show, about how the Yanks had 274 homers in the regular seasons—3, so far, in the postseason—and led the majors in slugging and homes.
Playoffs? They're down several hundred slugging points. Perfect illustration of how Cashie's philosophy fails every time in the playoffs. I have the sound off in my hotel room, but that bastard Smoltz is smiling like the Cheshire cat. Smile away, Johnny baby. But you didn't get to face those Yankee teams, ha-ha.
I have a question….if someone grabbed Ken Rosenthal by his bow tie and swung him around really fast like a hammer toss in the Olympics, how far would he go when they let go ?
Yeah, feed him that big meatball on 2-0. No point in putting him on, and having the next hitter beat that DP grounder to the third baseman. Holy shit, this is a stupid team.
Yeah, these are comically bad at-bats. They have no sense of the strike zone. Also, Wells seemed surprised that Rodon's last pitch last inning was even being thrown. May have got lucky there.
Beyond words. Bellinger acts as though he's never played LF before. And as for Boone, it looks like a replay of last year. He sits in his corner, silent, while his team falls apart.
In Game 5 of last year’s World Series, the Yankees completely crumbled. LA exposed all their weaknesses and mocked them openly. A year later, nothing seems to have changed—they’re still the same uninspired, leaderless, and lifeless team. If humiliation and ridicule can’t spark change, what will?
Yankees are not only losing, but are being embarrassed on national TV in a three-game sweep. Heads should roll but won't because management and ownership have no shame or pride.
Oh my god ... Boone just had the nerve to say that the Yankees were "putting good at-bats on 'em." George would fire him by the end of the game if he was still alive.

Hey !
ReplyDeleteI have a question….if someone grabbed Ken Rosenthal by his bow tie and swung him around really fast like a hammer toss in the Olympics, how far would he go when they let go ?
Not for enough
DeleteLove the look of almost open terror in Rodon's eyes. Oh, this bodes well!
ReplyDeleteRodon 1-3 with a 6.66 ERA against Toronto. Ruh-roh. Sounds like the end times. But you knew that.
ReplyDeleteAnd … we’re done.
ReplyDeleteHello? Hello? Anybody there? Mayday! Mayday! Anyone out there? This is the Titanic calling...
ReplyDeleteWell, it will be fun to see someone polish off these loathsome goons. I'm hoping for Seattle, but I'd settle for the Dodgers doing it.
ReplyDeleteYeah, feed him that big meatball on 2-0. No point in putting him on, and having the next hitter beat that DP grounder to the third baseman. Holy shit, this is a stupid team.
ReplyDeleteV La d.
ReplyDeleteThey did not walk him.
(Just in case you didn’t notice)
Guess I’m a Brewers fan for at least a few days.
ReplyDeleteWHY THE FUCK DO THEY CONTINUE TO PITCH TO FUCKIN VLAD.....ALL FUCKIN YEAR...NO ADJUSTMENT
ReplyDeleteMichael Kay said today on his radio show that he sees no need to pitch around Vlad!
DeleteAaron hit a single !
ReplyDeleteAnd just to twist the knife a bit - an Ohtani ad was on the green screen behind home plate during Judge’s at-bat.
ReplyDeleteIncredible. The same play at first. This team is actually retarded. (And I know we're not supposed to use the "r" word. But still.)
ReplyDelete‘Mentally Challenged’
DeleteAlso, half the team swinging merrily away at the first pitch. As usual.
ReplyDeleteRodon does look like he shat himself AND has stopped breathing
ReplyDeleteNice of Toronto to give us a run with that error. So glad to see, too, that we are once again refusing to hit Judge and Stanton, back-to-back.
ReplyDeleteAmazing. Rodon struggling to put away Felafel.
ReplyDeleteHoly shit. And now he hit Gimenez, their .210 hitter.
ReplyDeleteThat pitch never hit him
ReplyDeleteNo. It didn't.
DeleteBut John schmuck said it did.
Good enough for mlb
I know. Makes you wonder if the ump's betting on the game.
DeleteSurvival food kit commercials.
ReplyDeleteYay
1 pitch. 1 out. Savages?
ReplyDeleteLavages
DeleteYeah, these are comically bad at-bats. They have no sense of the strike zone.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Wells seemed surprised that Rodon's last pitch last inning was even being thrown. May have got lucky there.
Tough to watch the awful approach of the Yankee hitters, swinging early, often, and wildly.
ReplyDeleteThey finally walked Vlad
ReplyDeleteA walk and a line double to a guy hit .234 for them this year. Rodon is amazing.
ReplyDeleteYankee Stadium: Farewell to Mystique and Aura
ReplyDeleteAnd now Chisholm doesn't seem to understand the defensive alignment. Stupid of Toronto not to run on Judge there, though.
ReplyDeleteStoopid
ReplyDeleteStoopid
Stoopid
This team continues to play with an unparalleled lack of urgency or instinct.
ReplyDeleteStooopid
ReplyDeleteBeyond words. Bellinger acts as though he's never played LF before. And as for Boone, it looks like a replay of last year. He sits in his corner, silent, while his team falls apart.
ReplyDeleteIn the medical field, that's known as "Torre and the Midges Syndrome."
DeleteVery well put, Hinkey, That's exactly it. They seem barely involved.
ReplyDeleteFace it, the team knows it’s over, and they’re playing like it.
ReplyDeleteIf the bulk of their pay were dependent on wins in a bonus-based system, you'd see a lot more focus and engagement.
DeleteBut after all isn’t this Cashman’s plan ?
ReplyDeleteThey are all playing in slo motion with zero urgency. Even Bellinger to forever to get that ball in on that throw from third. -- burn it all down.
ReplyDeleteAnd I've changed my mind about next year. Let Grisham AND Bellinger go. At least give Dominguez and Jones a chance.
ReplyDeleteYes.
DeleteI just had the same thought. Bellinger's lack of hustle with the season on the line.
DeleteFire Blake and Boone
ReplyDeleteIt's like what the announcers used to say about the Jets during the 80s and 90s - "mental problems."
ReplyDeleteHere is asshole boone, one of the architects of this disaster.
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely pathetic.
ReplyDeleteAre the fans booing yet. They should start a fire Cashman chant.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea.
DeleteIn Game 5 of last year’s World Series, the Yankees completely crumbled. LA exposed all their weaknesses and mocked them openly. A year later, nothing seems to have changed—they’re still the same uninspired, leaderless, and lifeless team. If humiliation and ridicule can’t spark change, what will?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the laughs, guys. Best part of this predictably disastrous game.
ReplyDeleteYankees are not only losing, but are being embarrassed on national TV in a three-game sweep. Heads should roll but won't because management and ownership have no shame or pride.
ReplyDeleteOwnership has neither shame nor pride, but they do have money. Apparently, that seems to be enough.
ReplyDeleteBuck Martinez was right…
ReplyDeleteCC looks like he needs a drink.
ReplyDeleteEvery Yankee fan needs a drink…
ReplyDeleteWell, they steadied the ship—at least for a moment. It's still sinking, but they steadied it...
ReplyDeleteOh my god ... Boone just had the nerve to say that the Yankees were "putting good at-bats on 'em." George would fire him by the end of the game if he was still alive.
ReplyDeleteI can see Boone saying "it's all right there in front of us" after this game. He's and idiot.
DeleteCruz at least seems fired up. I hope he hits Laddie in the head.
ReplyDeleteThat's supposed to be, "Vladdie," fucking spellcheck.
ReplyDeleteLet's split the difference and just start calling him "Lassie"
DeleteActually a good move, pinch-hitting Rosario, even if it did not pay off...
ReplyDelete...On the other hand, I do not understand the Yanks' righty-lefty-lefty-righty, 2-5 order. What's that about? Anyone?
ReplyDeleteThanks, I thought that it was just me😱
DeleteEl Duque started a new thread. Not that it will help.
ReplyDeleteAaron Boone is a Professional Idiot. He’s playing 4-dimensional chess in the multiverse.
ReplyDeleteCharlie Sheen: 'Life all comes down to a few moments. This is one of them.' Charlie said it but Judge will be living it after this commercial break...
ReplyDeleteHE DID IT
ReplyDeleteSo, all 6 runs driven in by Stanton (2) and Judge (4). Thanks for showing up, everyone else.
ReplyDeleteI can deal with losing, but having to listen to the "Judge is a choker" narrative again would have been brutal.
DeleteExactly, Kevin! And even a loss here, now, would MAYBE force some of the media to focus on the major dysfunction with the rest of this team.
DeleteAnd in the field! But...we are now on our 4th pitcher in the 5th inning.
ReplyDeleteOut of it! And I sense...a UVM coming up.
ReplyDeleteIt would seem that the pressure is somehow on fucking Toronto!
