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?
