If we toss a ball and hit him, does he drop into a tank of water?

AboveAverage said...

Absolutely!

One just needs to replace the recessed ball holder with a plastic tank filled with water !

What a revoltin' development.

The Dodger HR, not Ron Hunt. I have no memory of Ron Hunt. I had to look him up. And read Bitty's link.

Dumb. Only 1 out. Dumb.

Grisham looked like he was in one of those slow-motion clips for the old “$6 Million Man” TV show.

Hinkey Haines said...

Yup, that too. Just a dumb-ass call by the coach.

Another substandard hitting performance. A sweep in the offing?

The WinWarblist said...

There's always a good chance of a sweep when These Our 2026 New York Yankees are playing a good team.

The Yankees GRIM

As someone pointed out, how the hell is Volpe not pinch-running for Grisham there? Idiots.

Saw the game replay this morning and was thinking the same thing. Wtf? He wasn't even running hard a chunk of the time.

The Yankees have been Lucy and the football for a long time. We are simply Charlie Brown here.
