Even though the Braves are on a hot streak, I have a feeling the Yankees win tonite. You gotta think these bastards will score some runs against this lousy pitcher the Braves are starting. They're due. Overdue. And I don't believe in the Braves bullpen - they blow leads like Boone blows bubbles. Prediction: Yankees probably win tonite, then get killed in the next two games.
This here is another one where the search for the most ineffective reliever turned out splendidly. Four relievers, two gave up a run a piece. I long for the days of one reliever who finished the game. Those days are gone....
Braves blow a lot of games. Their bullpen sucks. I don't know how they've won so many games. Every time I look at the scoreboard, they're blowing a game in the 9th.
In case you’re wondering, and you probably aren’t, both Volpe & Dominguez’ homered tonight in the SWB loss, although Volpe also struck out 3x just for shits & giggles
Though of course the Red Sox won. Saw the whole game in a bar—very rare for me—with Hinkey Haines' cousin, who accompanied us on our Stadium sojourn. What a miraculous turnaround.
Will file a full report tomorrow—but then going to Old-Timers' Day with another friend. Can't wait to see the widows Ruth and Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio introduced last...

How could we possibly lose now that The Intern has signed a 35-yo catcher whose last good season was seven years ago?
He's the Kei Igawa of catchers.
HA
Once again, the offense is stinking up the joint. three innings in the books & nary a hit.
Spencer Jones wuz robbed
But once again, the team that cannot score unless it's home run derby
Watching paint dry is more interesting…
Waitin' for rain in the Sahara
You’ll need Jeannie for that!
Blah. Blah, Blah, Meredith
I'd like to nail that wench Meredith
I guess the humidifier wasn't workin' tonite. And they've run out of those super hard wound balls.
And there goes the ball game!
With the Yanks, 1-0 is like 13-0…
Fernando Cruz hasn't been pitching well lately. The splitter not splittin'
Of course, that don't have any effect whatsoever on Boone's usage of Cruz.
Seems like the offense is even worse since the trade deadline moves. We usually weren't gettin' shut out.
Amazing, Boone is pinch hitting for Grisham
Must've been gut wrenching for Boone to remove Grisham
Didn't make any diff. Our pinch hitters never hit
Maybe somebody should tell Ben Rice that the object is to hit the ball, not whiff at it.
Goldschmidt in to pinch hit. Boone just can't wait to throw him in there.
Another K. Do you get the feelin' that this just ain't our night?
Been a long time since a new Yankee Classic…
2-0 Braves. That sure takes the starch out of the bottom of the 9th.
Good Bye
Cruel World
They’re leaving us tonight
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
“Well, they’re heading for the exits Jiggs…”
Boone didn’t even react to that home run - he just tossed in a few more pacifying seeds into his pie hole.
I LOVE this team

Jones will soon be joining Dominguez in Scranton.
At least Lombard got a knock. Wasn't much of a knock, (using my best pirate voice) but it'll look like a line drive in the box score....
Told ya the Braves bullpen sucks....
At least the bastards got Rice up there for a last chance.
Yes but what will happen
It's official: the Braves bullpen sucks!
Just missed a 3 run homer
Rice came through…
Got interesting all of a sudden
The Nats were ok with trading Garcia because….
Uh oh extra innings!
Free Baseball
he can’t hit LH pitching
Bonus Cantos…
Bednar held them. So can these bastards score a fucking run and end this thing?
That was fucking stupid
WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?
Awful AB by Caballero. He is a 26th man, but can’t do the little things
Bases loaded. You know the Yankees are incapable of getting a hit. So gotta hope for a wild pitch, hit by pitch
Best bunt attempt that I’ve seen in decades
stick your forearm out, get nicked
the Yankees WinnY
Bastards finally got a sac fly!
Yankees Win!!!
Now, that wasn’t so hard, was it?
An instant Yankee Classic…

Good golly Suzyn has still got some electric energy
In case you’re wondering, and you probably aren’t, both Volpe & Dominguez’ homered tonight in the SWB loss, although Volpe also struck out 3x just for shits & giggles
This is a double win for us: the fucking Dodgers blew their game in the 9th (Edwin Diaz). Fucking Dodgers lose!!!!
Whenever Volpe homered, I always cringed because that meant he would start swinging for the fences for weeks on end.
Though of course the Red Sox won. Saw the whole game in a bar—very rare for me—with Hinkey Haines' cousin, who accompanied us on our Stadium sojourn. What a miraculous turnaround.

Remember: Follow the Knicks!
