If the Yankees want to make the playoffs, they better win tonite.

The Hammer of God said...

Well, that was quick! There goes the old ball game! They'll never catch up, right?

The Hammer of God said...

Warren sure picked a lousy time to pitch like shit.

It all started with the fucking shift. Why do the Yankees shift? Other teams always hit 'em in the holes.

The Hammer of God said...

A parachutin' dyin' quail drops into short centerfield. With the slowest centerfielder in baseball patroling out there.

JM said...

Fatass Raleigh is batting.159? Isn't that worse than Wells?

JM said...

Bullpen for Warren coming up.

The Hammer of God said...

The Big Dumper is not having a good year. Maybe last year was a fluke? Lot of homers, but the low batting average was kind of a bad sign for him. I'm sure Cashman will trade for him at some point. Can't have enough .159 hitters, eh?

The Hammer of God said...

Well, Warren threw up a scoreless inning. Progress....

The Hammer of God said...

We ain't gettin' shut out tonite. Amazing!

The Hammer of God said...

You can usually tell early with Will Warren. No exception tonite. He doesn't have it.

The Hammer of God said...

I checked their stats. Cal Raleigh has a worse batting average and a worse OPS than our designated whipping boy Austin Wells.

The Hammer of God said...

Cashman must be drooling over the thought of gettin' Cal Raleigh.

The Hammer of God said...

Meanwhile, our former whipping boy Gary Sanchez is hitting .224 and .820 OPS. Having a pretty decent year, for him.

Exciting times out in right field in the Bronx tonight.

More action than provided by the Yankees lineup.

Hinkey Haines said...

Well. How about that.

AboveAverage said...

Golly - sure looks like that excitement out there in right field ignited the Yankee Offense to uhm, uh, tie up the game.

ranger_lp said...

Jones is starting to figure it out…

Hinkey Haines said...

The Volpe Curse lives.

AboveAverage said...

Well - I think Lombard just broke that curse.....

Hinkey Haines said...

So he’s fine if he doesn’t lead off, is that it?

The Hammer of God said...

Yankees actually getting some clutch hits, RISP hits. Amazing! Mariners must really suck.

BTR999 said...

Mariners are…not good

The Hammer of God said...

Jazz with a good at-bat!

The Hammer of God said...

Sir Anthony Dominguez, Knight of the Table Round, on to pitch for the M's.

Hinkey Haines said...

Aye.

The Hammer of God said...

What you like about Lombard as a batter is that he'll take those pitches away to the opposite field and up the middle.

The Hammer of God said...

The slowest centerfielder in baseball - when he hits 'em out, he don't have to run fast.

Hinkey Haines said...

Who are these guys?

The Hammer of God said...

Seattle Mariners pitching has provided an ample feast for Yankee hitters tonite.

ranger_lp said...

Grish!!!

Pocono Steve said...

We'll never be rid of Grisham now.

The Hammer of God said...

If there is baseball next year, you know Cashman will re-sign Grisham to a 7 year, 140 mil contract.

The Hammer of God said...

Two crappy teams beating each other senseless with steel maces, morning stars.

The Hammer of God said...

And this shitty affair ain't over yet.

The Hammer of God said...

A bit hairy at the end, but a happy ending!

ranger_lp said...

Yankees Win!!!

Pocono Steve said...

Woo hoo
