"Anthony (Volpe) is going to be a frontline shortstop in this league. Everyone’s path isn’t linear."

Boone just keeps talking...

And talking...

And talking...

One week until pitchers and catchers.

Sixteen days until the first spring training game. 

And Boone keeps going.

Well then I suppose that Bubbles Boone is saying that Volpe is going to be keeping the clubhouse and dugout free of fleas and ticks all season long.
Amazingly valuable teammate to have around then.

They have too much invested - psychologically and in terms of propaganda - to back down. They'll repeat the lie forever about Volpe being Major League quality. He's a AAAA guy at best. Much like a national death cult that has us by the balls at the moment, they have too much to lose by admitting he's a failure. Boone and Cash's motto is: JUST KEEP DOUBLING DOWN ON THE BULLSHIT. My own personal motto that has evolved over the past year regarding Los Yanquis? I JUST DON'T GIVE A FUCK.

Also, what did we do as a fan base to deserve having to imbibe Boone's drivel every day? When does the penance end? This world is so upside down that I'm now rooting for Philly, simply because of Donnie. I never thought I'd do that.

I was just looking at photos of Boone and it struck me that he could be a double for John Wayne in dimly-lit scenes.

In the rest of Boone's WFAN appearance, he said that although he thought that VolpE-6 would eventually be a frontline SS, he seemed to concede it might be on another team. And that he has a time limit to prove it as a Yankee.

Never really was a fan of the Osmonds, Bitty. And Marie’s brow ridge was way too suspect to be taken in by her charms. However, I’m in on everything else. Good golly gosh I do wish that one day I can sit in on one of Cash and Boone’s double down meetings. Might be all that’s left for this franchise in terms of pure entertainment

I think you meant John Wayne Gacy, that friendly Chicago area clown.

AboveAverage said...

oh wait – you were talking about Donnie Mattingly - NEVERMIND !

13bit said...

That freaked me out, man...the Osmonds are the spawn of Satan.

13bit said...

Oh, snap! He drew a line in the sand! Way to go, Bonnie, you tough guy. When are you going to put some of these other lard-asses up to wall and deliver an ultimatum???

HoraceClarke66 said...

What was it that Boone USED to say about Volpe? "Superior" or something?

JM said...

Effete...elite...smth

13bit said...

“Elite “rhymes with “defeat“

HoraceClarke66 said...

Oh, yeah.

Did I just hear a call for Don Ho?

And Bitty, please join me in singing that great Air Supply hit:

"I'm all out of fucks
I'm tired of these fools
I don't care
What they say anymore.
I'm all out of fucks..."

13bit said...

I'd like to insert a huge heart emoji here, but I'm all out of fucks to give, so I'll leave it there...

One Bad Apple don't
Spoil the whole team, Girl
Unless its Brian Cashman
Then I don't care what you heard

One Bad Apple don't
Spoil the whole team, Girl
Unless its Aaron Bøøne
Then I don't care what you heard

One Bad Apple don't
Spoil the whole team, Girl
Unless its Hal Steinbrenner
Then I don't care what you heard

Man, I'm so glad I stepped away as I see nothing has changed. Yanks just trying to stay relevant and aging. Last year I didn't watch a single pitch, sint check for a single score, I might stay away completely until MLB fixes the entire salary cap situation.
