Gerrit Cole got the Yankees back on track in virtual baseball today, ending a second-half mini-slump as he pitched seven innings of two-hit, shutout baseball against the St. Louis Cardinals.
With the Yanks already holding a big lead, Manager Ma Boone gave King Cole the rest of the afternoon off. Adam Ottavino and Chad Green had no trouble bringing home a 9-0 win.
Feeding the Cole Train's engine, in an inexcusably tortured metaphor, were the big wood of Miguel Andujar, Mike Ford, and The Gleyber, all of whom homered. Aaron Judge went 4-4 with a pair of two-baggers, and was still elated by how the good doctors at Columbia-Presbyterian managed to detect and remove a nine-inch nail from his foot. Judge promised that if he were ever forced to confront the doctors in a coliseum during some sort of gladiatorial games, he would not kill them.
The Yanks, now 67-31, head home having lost a game to the TB Rays, who they now trail by 3.
"They're persistent little buggers," conceded Boone. "But we'll get them in the end."

Hoss, what will happen to the virtual season when the real season starts? Will it disappear into a parallel universe?
I am greatly preferring the virtual season. I prefer it to the FAKE "real" season. I prefer it to the news of unidentified stormtroopers being sent in to police American cities. I prefer it to news of the pandemic burning its way across the country, I prefer it to the cancel culture follies being played out in the arts, academia and other public arenas. I prefer it to the morons sitting on their wooden restaurant parking spot barges all over the west village. I prefer it to the memories of the swimming in my local city pool that float back to my consciousness while I wish I could swim. I prefer it to most things now. In virtual baseball, the virtual IIHIIF contingent is due to "go to the game," I believe this Thursday. I hope that the virtual Yankees come through with a win, but I am used to being disappointed - in real, as well as virtual, life...
