13bit said...: The cool thing is that this is an actual photo - unaltered, unadulterated and unvarnished - and it really captures a moment of truth and beauty. I hear that the photographer was named Godzilla and he had time to get off this one snap before Mothra flew up behind him and stole the camera. Luckily, Mothra took it to a Fotomat and the snapshot endured.; June 12, 2026 at 7:43 PM

Hinkey Haines said...: If the Yankees were Knicks-like, being down 5-0 after 2 wouldn’t seem problematic. But the Yankees aren’t Knicks-like. They’re the Yankees. So … guess it’s a World Cup night.; June 12, 2026 at 8:16 PM
Pocono Steve said...: I was going to say: remember in the distant, late 2010s, when five runs could easily be made up?; June 12, 2026 at 8:19 PM
Pocono Steve said...: I hate high camera views of the game as in Toronto. They add to my feelings of futility as if the fence were half a mile away. But only for the Yankees.; June 12, 2026 at 8:21 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: Yankees 1 HIT. BJs 5 runs.

A metaphor or something.; June 12, 2026 at 8:43 PM
AboveAverage said...: BJs; June 12, 2026 at 8:56 PM
Pocono Steve said...: Piece of shit bullpen doesn't even allow you half an inning of hope.; June 12, 2026 at 9:06 PM
Doug K. said...: "Jake Bird pitching nowhere near the ninth.
Hoping to command electric stuff.
All your life…
We are all still waiting for an outing that’s not rough."

Sigh. I feel like Nostradougmas.; June 12, 2026 at 9:06 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: The only BJs I don't like; June 12, 2026 at 9:30 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: Be the ball...; June 12, 2026 at 9:30 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: WTF? Just realized it's the 6th?; June 12, 2026 at 9:31 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: This comment has been removed by the author.; June 12, 2026 at 9:31 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: Because googly decided to post twice.

Is there an echo in here?; June 12, 2026 at 9:33 PM
