The good kind of booing. Where you're booing as loud as you can and half laughing at the same time.
When his name is announced, we'll let loose a boisterous, clamorous, noisy, strident, uninterrupted BOOOOO, with our boo/laugh fueled by the sheer pleasure of it.
Yes, boys and girls, Sonny Gray has been traded to the Red Sox which means we'll likely see him in the Bronx a few times next summer.
If the son-of-a-bitch shuts us down, it'll be ok to for our booing to take on a concerned tone. A booing sound made by fans who are thinking "Please tell me he's not going to be another Yankee killer."
But then Judge will step in and take Gray deep and we we'll all laugh again.
Here's hoping he sucks for the Socks as much as he did for us.
But LBJ look on the bright side... Sonny Gray is infinitely rhyme-able
ReplyDeleteWe get to bring back oldies but goodies like
With apologies to James Taylor, the song Sunny Skies, and anyone who ever read me advocating trading for this guy.
Sonny Gray
Sonny Gray throws for the Yankees
He doesn't know how to pitch.
He serves it over the plate or far away
We’re all in mourning
Throwing his whole career away.
He doesn’t let us down slowly.
We know we’re gonna lose in the end.
And Austin Romine non withstanding
Sonny Gray hasn't a friend.
Sonny Gray’s pitches are soaring
Over the wall in right.
I guess he just has to cry from time to time.
Everyone's scoring.
And it’s hard to win when you’re behind.
(I skipped to the end)
Looking at the baseball standings
in the morning
Looking at the trades that got away.
Wondering if where we are is worth
The things we’ve been through
Ending with a putz named Sonny Gray.
Don’t bet on him sucking. The Sux now have two pitchers who struck out over 200 last season - and with the Yankees love for the Three True Outcomes, they are going to be toast next summer. That is one murderous lefty/righty combo.
ReplyDeleteI suppose that's the theory but then there's this: Sonny Gray has the highest career ERA at Yankee Stadium among pitchers with at least 100 innings pitched, with an ERA of 6.06.
DeleteOld Sasha can eat shit and die.
ReplyDeleteBut I thought that Sonny really loved Broadway musicals . . . .
ReplyDeleteMaybe they turn him around. Maybe he comes back and spanks us repeatedly. Maybe he's the next Bostonian Yankee Killer. Maybe or maybe not. I don't care. Just seeing him gives me PTSD and I don't care what he does as long as he's not playing for us.
ReplyDeleteThe Jays signed Dylan Cease. Seven years.
ReplyDeleteWe're doomed.
Doug, do not ever, ever, EVER apologize to James Taylor. He should be apologizing to us.
Whenever he pitches in the Bronx, it's always a cloudy day for Sonny Gray.
