Fixed?

JM said...

Balk boy. Doesn't matter why, you balk, you balk.

The Hammer of God said...

Amazing, he got out of it.

The Hammer of God said...

I was expectin' a cave-in there.

The Hammer of God said...

Looks like it ain't gonna matter. The bastards are gettin' shut out in game 1.

JM said...

Just what Cole needed, a stupid, meaningless distraction courtesy of Caballero and his idiot pitch clock games.

The Hammer of God said...

Lights out in da Bronks!

JM said...

Mr Meatball strikes again.

The Hammer of God said...

Pirates are a great hitting team now. Cole did a reasonably good job. Though the two homer was a killer. Obviously, mathematically zero chance of winning when you never score a run.

The Hammer of God said...

Cole is starting to pitch really well. Except for these pesky gofer balls. When you can't score runs, these home runs are killers.

JM said...

Rice!!!!!

The Hammer of God said...

Ben Rice cooks up some fried rice!

JM said...

The Kernel!

The Hammer of God said...

If the Buccos had to do it over again, I think they'd rather let Rice walk. Then go after Jones. I never could figure out why pitchers do that. They pitch around a guy for the first three pitches and it's 3 balls, no strikes. Then they throw two straight hittable pitches. What the fuck?

JM said...

I read a book about Tom Parker and Elvis. Hence, the kernel.

JM said...

You'd think Boone was managing.

The Hammer of God said...

We're caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because I love you too much, baby

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Klink?

JM said...

Hoooooogannnnn!

The Hammer of God said...

Wiki says Col. Tom Parker was an illegal alien. Is that true?

Dunderhead Trump missed out on a golden opportunity this World Cup. He could've arrested everyone in the World Cup tournament final. Claim they were all illegal aliens. Shake down their governments for $500 mil a pop. Steal the trophy and claim it's his by default. Straight out of an Austin Powers movie.

Bednar crapping the bed.

The Hammer of God said...

Ceiling once again lookin' like its bowing in.

The Hammer of God said...

They escape catastrophe, by the skin of their teeth.

The Hammer of God said...

Battlin' Bronx Bastards better score in the 9th. They suck extra special at extra inning games.

JM said...

Rice, nice play.

The Hammer of God said...

One thing Grisham does besides the home runs, he does draw walks. Another reason why Brainless Cashman is ga-ga for Grisham.

The Hammer of God said...

Man alive, the Yankees suck at hitting. Here come extra innings. A real long shot for the Yankees. they suck at extra innings.

JM said...

Cruz doesn't look good.

JM said...

Good night, Irene.

The Hammer of God said...

Bucs did something Yanks could never do. They got a single with a runner in scoring position.

The Hammer of God said...

And there goes the game!

The Hammer of God said...

Pretty long leash for a guy who's struggling, eh?

JM said...

Who the heck is Castro?

BTR999 said...

Boone.

BTR999 said...

This one’s as good as over.

BTR999 said...

Just up from SWB

AboveAverage said...

They're crapping the bed
They lost the first game
What a shame, a shame, a shame
In the Bronx, New York

The Hammer of God said...

1-6 now in extras

The Hammer of God said...

These little town blues
Are draining my brain
I'm gonna make a brand new start of it
Ex-com-mu-ni-ca-ting Ba-Boone

BTR999 said...

They couldn’t even get the meaningless x-runner in.

Typical Yankee offense. All runs scored on one swing, the other AB’s were mostly weak, to the point of being non-competitive.

This is such an easy to hate. I’m like Robby the Robot when asked to shoot someone. My circuits are all crossed and I don’t know what to do,

BTR999 said...

1-10 with RISP

Pocono Steve said...

The Yankees get what they deserve.

The Hammer of God said...

Yeah, no surprises in this one. They're so predictable. If the Bucs had just pitched more carefully to Rice, Yankees probably get shut out or lose 3-1 in 9 innings. Rice only prolonged the agony.

13bit said...

The bed we done crapped
I still got the trots
Because we love you so much Brian…

Pocono Steve said...

Not a great throw but certainly nothing you could expect Volpe to come up with.

Publius said...

Volpe is unplayable. This must stop.

The Hammer of God said...

Da Battlin' Bronx Bastards finally score a run

Hinkey Haines said...

Amazing what can happen when you run hard the whole way instead of jogging.

The Hammer of God said...

Bellinger proves he can score on a double

The Hammer of God said...

+1
