Yes! We Are NOT Alone! Oh, wait a minute...

I got to run and listen to The Master today for the first time in who knows how long, and was ecstatic to hear the minor rebellion that erupted when one Reese McGuire dumped a run-scoring, pop double into left field for Toronto in the third inning.

The Master and Suzie-Q went on for a good ten minutes about the importance of making contact and situational hitting, citing all the Yankees failures in such spots on Saturday.

"Just put it in play!" Suzyn, in particular, kept saying, though The Master actually kicked it off.  "Just put it in play!  Who knows what will happen?!"

I then became a little apprehensive because a few minutes before, Suzyn had made a snarky remark about one of the Yanks upcoming "giveaway" days.  It was, if memory serves me right, for a 2019 schedule mousepad to the first 15,000 suckers customers.

"When does this team ever give anything away?" she suddenly burst out, flummoxing The Master, and when the Great Contact Rebellion subsequently broke out, I thought, 'Uh-oh, that's it!  They both got their pink slips already.  You finally really did it.  You maniacs!  You blew it up!'

But no.  The next half inning they were back to talking about really long this lineup is—"I mean, Voit is batting 8th, Brett Gardner batting 9th!"—and then about what a great, great job Cashman had done in coming up with replacements for injured players:  "He picked up Happ, he picked up Lynn, he got McCutcheon, Zach Britton...'

I sighed, not altogether unhappily.  At least our favorite duo is still employed.

Notice the microphone debacle not too long after their little mini-rebellion? A coincidence?

6 pitches to Torres and Sanchez in 9th. 6 pitches. 6 strikes. No contact at all.

Indeed, Publius. I heard that problem with the mics—at the same time, both The Master and Suzyn were passed a handwritten note: "DO NOT ADJUST YOUR SETS. WE CONTROL THE VERTICAL. WE CONTROL THE HORIZONTAL. IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW YOUR IMPLIED CRITICISM OF OUR ULTIMATE LEADER WITH LAVISH PRAISE, YOU WILL BOTH BE TERMINATED. THANK YOU AND HAVE A GOOD DAY."
