I hate those two so very very much.

AboveAverage said...

How long does it take you to earn Trent Coinage ?

The WinWarblist said...

So long Suck-stros!

The WinWarblist said...

TG earned 22 million this year. I would have to sell my medical practice under favorable terms to a gullible party or parties several times over, I think.

AboveAverage said...

Fair enough

Maybe Cashman will bite….

Hinkey Haines said...

After thinking it over, I wish to offer this for your consideration: Fuck Sonny Gray.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

For the good of the country, I think he should.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Thank you sir, may I have another?

Rufus T. Firefly said...

I'm so pleased that the announcers aren't actively rooting for the carmines.

Wait, what? Late breaking news-- they are.

The WinWarblist said...

Sonny Gray has amassed a proper Major League career, 37.6 bWAR. He's only had two bad years. 2016 for Oakland and 2018 for the Yankees. He made $35 million this year.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Na na na na, hey, hey, HEY, GOODBYE

The WinWarblist said...

He's from Tennessee, the inbred mutant monger freak.

Hinkey Haines said...

Allow me to add, after additional cogitation: Fuck Trent Grisham.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Grisham should not be on the roster, let alone starting.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

You say that like it's a bad thing.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Double fuck, yeah.

Carl J. Weitz said...

LOLOL.But, I heard he screwed Dolly Parton

Carl J. Weitz said...

Fuck BaBoone for putting him there instead of Jones

AboveAverage said...

But what of his blinding speed and cat-like reflexes ?

Pocono Steve said...

Well, Game 3 it is because we're not scoring any runs tonight.

DickAllen said...

This is the second night in a row that Girardi, up in the booth, can see when a pitcher is going away from his strengths and is losing command of his pitches.

While Booooone and Matt Blake are staring blankly at the moon.

The WinWarblist said...

WFAN is running ads for leak proof adult diapers. I'm glad they want the best for us, but it doesn't bode well for the demographics following MLB.

DickAllen said...

BOOM!!

DickAllen said...

And just a moment ago, one of the announcers suggested that Babe Ruth would have trouble hitting Sonny Gray

The WinWarblist said...

It's still too close. The Imbecile can easily blow a 1 run lead. Even a 4 run lead isn't safe from The Imbecile.

Hinkey Haines said...

Another deep thought: Fuck the third base coach, whatever his name is. Jesus F Christ, how do you wave a catcher home on a short single to left? Fucking moron.

DickAllen said...

Who is that 3B coach? Rice was dead out by five feet.

Carl J. Weitz said...

Very bad decision to send Rice home with a shallow single and Rice being a slow runner. He was out by a mile.

Hinkey Haines said...

Yankees must lead the world in guys thrown out at home. So goddamned stupid.

Hinkey Haines said...

THAT was a nice catch.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

On a positive note, the announcers have said that they'll still blow the carmines if they can swallow.

Hinkey Haines said...

Grisham actually ran one down. Things are looking up.

Carl J. Weitz said...

Grisham looks like he's running with shit in his pants.

The WinWarblist said...

Late innings of a one run game. These are situations where The Imbecile shines at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

AboveAverage said...

You’re on a ROLL. Mr Firefly

Carl J. Weitz said...

I thought they preferred facials.

The WinWarblist said...

The Imbecile is the Ambrose Burnside of the American League.

The WinWarblist said...

JONES!!! STOP IT!!! YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO RUN THE BASES LIKE A DRUNKEN SAILOR!!!

Hinkey Haines said...

The rookies!

The WinWarblist said...

LOMBARD!!! GEORGE JR!!! GOING THE OTHER WAY!!! HITTING BEHIND THE RUNNER!!! WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING!!!!???????????

DickAllen said...

I thought Adley was supposed to be an all-star catcher. That throw was awful

Hinkey Haines said...

Jazz didn’t hack wildly & look what happened.

DickAllen said...

And Grisham showing bunt!!!!

DickAllen said...

Who are these guys?

Hinkey Haines said...

I, too, would like to know.

Pocono Steve said...

Verrrrry interesting

BernBabyBern said...

I would love to see a grand slam here, and have all the Yankees do an extra-slow stroll around the bases like Contreras did.

Carl J. Weitz said...

Garrett Crochett looked more like Bob Cratchit.

Carl J. Weitz said...

They should pull a JimmyPiersal and run backwards.

The WinWarblist said...

Try to slip a new Garrett in on us, will yah!?

The WinWarblist said...

BELLI BELLI BELLI BELLI BELLI BELLI BELLI BELLI BELLI BELLI BELLI BELLI BELLI BELLI BELLI BELLI BELLI BELLI BELLI BELLI BELLI BELLI BELLI BELLI BELLI BELLI BELLI BELLI BELLI BELLI BELLI BELLI BELLI BELLI BELLI BELLI BELLI BELLI BELLI BELLI BELLI BELLI BELLI BELLI BELLI BELLI BELLI BELLI BELLI BELLI BELLI BELLI BELLI BELLI BELLI BELLI BELLI BELLI BELLI BELLI !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DickAllen said...

I can’t believe what I’m seeing from this team

Hinkey Haines said...

What a great inning.

Pocono Steve said...

Wowie Zowie!

DickAllen said...

What’s even more amazing is that they’ve only struck out six times tonight

Rufus T. Firefly said...

The announcers will still say that the carmines have a shot, because they're a good comeback team.

Hinkey Haines said...

It’s a time-tested baseball truth that striking out to lead off an inning is a recipe for success.

DickAllen said...

Yes, and they’ll likely come back next year

Carl J. Weitz said...

Amazing what happens when you bunt, move up runners, and make contact with the baseball

DickAllen said...

The good news is that the bats have taken Boooooone out of the game

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Carl, creampies are their favorite happy endings.

Not sure if time restraints will allow that.

Hinkey Haines said...

Hopefully Warren won’t bring him back.

DickAllen said...

Piling on

AboveAverage said...

We have enough runs to win this game.
Congratulations everyone.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

You sure?

Rufus T. Firefly said...

I mean, Boone is still managing

DickAllen said...

Somebody wearing Wells uniform has an 875 OPS with three ribbies - any idea who he is?

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Can anyone splain to me why wells has been ABSENT the last two fricking years, and now PORNSTASHE guy shows up this month?

DickAllen said...

It’s not really him

Baboone4eva said...

Spot on 🙏

AboveAverage said...

I reviewed the documents.

We win tonight’s game.

Please celebrate responsibility.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

He's that adult film star: "Pornstache Guy". Kinda like pizza delivery guy.

ranger_lp said...

Just got home from concert…listened since 5th inning. Looks like done deal…

AboveAverage said...

Why was Boone sipping on a coffee and eating a Pepperidge Farm Milano cookie in the dugout?

WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE !?!

AboveAverage said...

Chapstick in to hit a few batters…..

Hinkey Haines said...

Mop up duty for the waterfall. Nice.

Hinkey Haines said...

Watching for that trademark smirk.

Hinkey Haines said...

Ah, screw you anyway, Chapman.

DickAllen said...

Chapman struck out the side and nobody cared

13bit said...

Are we being teed up for total destruction? Asking for a paranoid friend.

Hinkey Haines said...

Yes.

ranger_lp said...

Yankees Win!!!

BTR999 said...

Yanks in two!

Hinkey Haines said...

On to Tampa!

AboveAverage said...

Oh absolutely !

The WinWarblist said...

Boston Sux.

AboveAverage said...

They sure did tonight

Carl J. Weitz said...

He's the W.B. Mason guy.

BTR999 said...

So pleased to be sharing this with you!

The WinWarblist said...

Good thing I had my leak proof adult undergarments. I was very excited!

HoraceClarke66 said...

Echoing DickAllen, who are these guys, and what have they done with the New York Yankees? Aliens, maybe? Not that I'm complaining...

HoraceClarke66 said...

...All we ask is that you don't hurt the Yankees, wherever you have them. All right, you can hurt them. Just not bad. Okay, you can hurt them bad. Whatever. Just don't let them go until October is over, okay? Whatever is left of them?

The WinWarblist said...

I may have to limber up my Battle Pants for Tampa.

Joe of AZ now in WA said...

Do the Yankees... actually have a 2-strike approach 👀

HoraceClarke66 said...

To me, anything else is gravy. I know, I know, my standards have fallen. But beating Boston was great, humiliating Boston, even better. I don't expect us to continue on, so anything more will be a pleasant surprise...

HoraceClarke66 said...

And WERE the Sox even trying all that hard? Those two quick hooks really made me wonder if they realized they didn't have it, and just wanted to make sure they didn't overwork their top starters. Maybe it was just stupidity—if it had been Boone, we'd know for sure—but it was weird.

However, gift horses can all attest that I never, ever look them in the mouth.
