Seventeen K's last night...
Seventeen K's... First AL team ever to fan 17 times in back-to-back - (and belly-to-belly!) - nine-inning games.
Seventeen K's... Franchise record over two games.
Seventeen K's... Most whiffs in baseball since June 18.
Seventeen K's... And not one walk.
Seventeen K's... At one point, Jose Caballero laid down his bat on a 3-2 payoff pitch and started jogging to first, well before the call. Strike three, of course. But points for style?
Seventeen K's... Against Koufax and Drysdale, right? Well, how about Garrett Clevenger, Ian Seymore, Bryan Baker, Cam Booze and Kevin Kelly. The greats...
Seventeen K's... And the K-Man himself, Spencer Jones, never touched a bat. (He's in Scranton, which won last night 18-3, though Jones somehow went 0-4 with two K's.)
Seventeen K's... Only two Golden Sombreros - Goldie and Cabby. The rest of the lineup chipped in. A team effort.
Seventeen K's... "A little bit of a funk," said manager Boonie. (One of these days, I swear he's going to give us a "Liberty-biberty.")
Seventeen K's... Mitch McConnell had a more sentient night.
Seventeen K's... Hey, ya can't win 'em all. right?
Seventeen K's. Five games behind Tampa in the loss column... seven above Boston.
Seventeen K's. And tonight, 17 more?

I learned the truth at seventeen
That wins were meant for baseball teams
Who get on base and score with smiles
Who hit like hell and then retired
The Series rings we never knew
The champion parades of youth
Were spent on ones more capable
At seventeen I learned the truth
And "el sombrero de oro" for Cabby. This team should be put on a nice cocktail of lithium and methamphetamine
I wonder, wonder, wonder if Janis Ian was ever a Yankees fan ?
One never knows, do one?
We got struck out 17, you know what I mean...
One could type:
we SUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
(but I will resist the temptation)
Boone should get an honorary sombrero; or maybe he should wear one in the dugout today and the Yankees laugh so hard and thus relax and score 20 runs hooray, maybe.
Liberty bibberty
The revenge of the Tampons against Cabellero, which will continue through the rest of this series.
How bad do the Battlin' Bronx Bastards get lit up today? Cole, who will struggle to find himself for the rest of this year after the elbow surgery. I'm thinkin' maybe 18-1.
And who's gonna hit that solo homer for the Yankees? I'll guess Rice.
How many strikeouts today by Yankee batters? Maybe 20. They could set an all time major league record for strikeouts in a four game series. Wouldn't that be grand?
Speaking to reporters after the Yankees' 6-4 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday, Boone said, "We don't want to lead in that number [strikeouts] clearly, but as far as approach, I'm confident in our approach. But we've gotta get some guys on track right now. Some really good players, obviously, that are going through a tough time right now. We're not gonna overhaul and change. But part of our approach is being a tough out and being situational, and we've gotta do a better job of that right now."
I'm confident that this gaslighting approach is not working...
The teams performance validates your point.
Goldschmidt is now 0-30, and swinging the bat like a 39 year old.
His expiration date was three weeks ago...
They are so fucking bad. Cam is the best starting pitcher in the AL and has 5 losses because the 25 other assholes and the manager all suck.
Michael Kay, ace reporter, making a bigger mess of Anthony Volpe's career than it already is. Volpe shouldn't be on the New York Yankees roster, and probably shouldn't be on a major league roster. But, Brian Cashman is a sneaky little worm who is trying to cover his ass and divert attention from his catastrophically poor talent evaluation and talent management by impugning Volpe's character in the media.
Plenty of talented players had terrible characters. Ty Cobb was a terrible, terrible human being, but that miserable cunt could play.
VolpE6 doesn't lack character. VolpE6 lack talent.
My assumption is Cashman authorized leaking to Kay to cover his ass, to add a dimension of poor character to the narrative, lest the Volpe era be remembered as yet another colossal front office fuck up. Cashman is exactly the type of pathetic careerist bureaucrat who does stuff like that. If the information about Volpe's insistence on playing short isn't true...as Kay said today...the leak is that much more appalling.
Kay mentioned today that they wanted to send Volpe down to AAA to work on second base and Volpe said no...he's a shortstop...
Can they please option Kay to Scranton?
I believe Kay is out of options, so they'd have to release him. They should do the same thing to Dave Sims as he's the worst radio announcer that they've ever had.
Dave's no Ricky. I've been trying to learn Spanish, just to listen to Ricky.
Can't we just put Volpe in a canoe and send him down the Harlem River with the current?
Man alive, what I wouldn't give for a few miserable cunts right about now. Like 9 of 'em.
The other day, I was listening to the radio broadcast. And I swear Dave Sims yells "PAWED!" After a couple of moments, I was able to discern that Goldschmidt had caught a line drive at first base. But I was scratchin' my head for awhile about "pawed". What the hell could that mean? Last I checked, there was no grizzly bear playing first base for the New York Yankees. Can grizzly bears play baseball? After a while, I concluded that the most likely explanation was that Dave Sims was shouting "PAUL! (Goldschmidt)" But he must have got tongue twisted and yelled "PAWED" instead. But why the hell do we have to put up with this bull shit? Why couldn't they get a normal announcer? Why the hell didn't they just make Emmanuel Berbari the play by play man? Berbari is really good, always enunciates loud and clear, doesn't make ridiculous errors. Please make Emmanuel the Barbarian the play by play announcer. Please. Please. I can't take it anymore with Sims.
Anyone is better than Dave Sims. Where the hell did they get this dude?
Can we put about six large holes in the canoe as well?
Uh oh, I knew it wasn't gonna be good for Volpe when he got that hot new flame of his. As long as he was playing with Cashman's daughter, he would've been safe. But dump her and go out with a hot model? Volpe better hire some private security detail, if he wants to keep his nuts intact.
Maybe a moustache too. And do a Mexican hat dance. Post game meal: tacos!
Ain't been payin' much attention. Didn't realize he was O for his last 30. Really, is he O for his last 30? Holy moly!
You're so bad
You're the best thing I ever had
In a world gone mad
You're so bad
Who needs talent when he's got that hot chick for a girlfriend? Some guys have all the luck, some guys get all the breaks....
And some cinder blocks…
