  1. Is "unforgivable" too strong a word to describe how I feel about Stanton's return for this series?

  3. Can’t wait to see him strikeout as a PH, can you?

    ReplyDelete
  4. Schlittler has to work more efficiently if he's to pitch the full-game shutout we probably need from him to eke out a 1-0 win.

    ReplyDelete
  5. We’ll need at least three runs….

    ReplyDelete
  6. Schlitter takes the pitch clock right to the end every time.

    ReplyDelete
  7. Everything is wonderful. Only score one run. Find a way to cough up the lead despite Cam's truly magnificent effort. Lose pathetically tonight. ColAce gets shelled tomorrow.

  8. Rice clobbered that one. And it was so great to see him do that after they’d spent the previous minute or two explaining what a great matchup for the Sox that was because Rice doesn’t hit sinkers and this guy had a great sinker. Or not.

  9. Gonna need more runs…boone time is coming

    ReplyDelete
  10. Gonna need 3 innings out of the bullpen.

    ReplyDelete
  11. You know, this Schlittler kid ain’t half bad …..

    ReplyDelete
  12. How many guys have we left on base so far, 4?

    ReplyDelete
  13. Girardi is up in the booth thinking about two innings ahead of Boooooone. What a waste of talent. The guy belongs in a dugout

    ReplyDelete
  14. And Booooone belongs in a booth. As usual, he tried to squeeze one out too many from a pitcher

    ReplyDelete
  15. Cam's numbers against Boston are preposterous.

    ReplyDelete
  16. we need to get one or both of these guys home

    ReplyDelete
  17. why not a bunt here down the first base line?

    ReplyDelete
  18. Wow. That’s optimistic that you believe these filly’s know how to bunt

    1. I know, but I was trying to channel the Scooter.

  19. Bases loaded, none out. This is a worst-case scenario for the Yankees.

  20. What was Miguel Cairo's lifetime BA?

    ReplyDelete
  21. Good old fashioned station-to- station baseball. I didn’t think they had it in them

    ReplyDelete
  22. bases loaded, no outs, one run. sorry, but I want to scream "assholes." lucky for me there's a cultured woman in the house and I should probably behave.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Crap. But it was a helluva nice play.

    ReplyDelete
  24. I actually cannot handle this and think I'm going to get into bed and peek at the phone in 20 minutes

    ReplyDelete
  25. When did Girardi become a carmines fan?

    And Rizzo????

    1. I got some of the old agita. can't seem to get up and get into bed

    2. To be fair, it wouldn’t be a good look for him to be rooting for the Yankees on national tv

      Delete
  26. They MUST get one of these guys in.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Another run & it might be Hill instead of Bednar.

    ReplyDelete
  28. wow, did I see a sac bunt? did some old LSD molecules from the 1970s break loose?

    1. You paid for the flashbacks. Only fair that you get them.

    2. I hear Oscar Gamble is in the on deck circle as a pinch hitter.

    3. Love how Rufus always chimes in on the Acid

      Delete
  29. Golf clap.

    Will Boone bench him for bunting?

    ReplyDelete
  30. Pass me the ether rag, grandma...

    ReplyDelete
  31. Meanwhile Michael King has gone 7 in San Diego tonight. Sigh.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Ok, a productive out. Was expecting a DP.

    1. What did they say, Rufus? I'm watching an odd version of this here.

    2. Been rooting for the carmines the whole game

      Delete
    3. Ah. Okay. I have the sound off. That has been the case since time began. Always amazes me how that goes.

      Delete
  35. Key to the game: take boone out of the process.

    1. Was that Boone in the ball gag and bondage mask under the bench?

      Delete
  36. I think it was just a lot of bubble gum.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Theeeee uh uh uh uh uhhhhhhhhhh YANKEES WIN!!!1

    ReplyDelete
  38. Ok, I hope they don't let it go to their heads. Nice to see some runs on small ball, too.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Time to get back into my pool of Yankee negativity. Day at a time. Got to pace myself. Good to see all of you gentlemen. Now, I must get home.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Let’s do this again tomorrow night

    ReplyDelete
  41. Two Massachusetts natives got the job done tonight.

  42. I enjoyed that
    Didn't want to post during game in case I jinxed it.
    I will keep doing that during the playoffs
    Going to bed properly now alarm will be going off for work in 3 hours gulp

  43. As my friend Tommy Shirts just said - Schlitt, Rice, Lombard and Jones. It was the kids.

    1. Where the hell have you been? It was the greatest Yankee victory of the year!

    2. Here.
      It was a test.
      And so far - you have passed.

  45. We cannot beat the Red Sox. Cole is going to SUCK tomorrow. And then more losing. And what does it matter if we win? So what. We certainly cannot beat the Tampa Rays or whatever the fuck they're called.

    Does Tampa still wear teal?

    Fuck.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Isn't Max Fried going tomorrow? And are you saying the Yankees won?

    ReplyDelete
  47. A perfect win. Which could easily be followed by two awful losses. Buuuut...good to see Boston looking so non-competitive. And Roman Anthony go out.

    Which doesn't mean we can do anything at all vs. TB.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Also, sticking Stanton and Grisham on the roster is still insane. Grisham has been awful all year and always awful in the postseason. Stanton, they are convinced is clutch, and he is...but I have never seen him hit right away when coming off the DL. And can he run at all?

    Oh, well. And what can you say? Knicks in five!—that's what!

    ReplyDelete
  49. Looking way too far ahead, I know, but good to see the ChiSox knock off the Cheatin' Stros. We want Houston out as soon as possible.

    1. Agreed. Still would love to see our Yankees play in the WS.

      Yeah I know….

      Sue me

  50. Rice from Consohosset and Schlittler from Walpole. Dartmouth and Northeastern grad, respectively. All wins against the Red Sox are equal, but some are more equal than others.

    ReplyDelete
  51. And Boone puts in Grisham for defensive purposes.

    LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Ramos blows. DFA him. And Boone, while you're at it.
