Rooting for the Bombers: Henry Kissinger. (Until it's explained that they don't actually bomb anyone.)

TheWinWarblist said...: There is no way this team can score 3 runs two nights in a row.; April 21, 2021 at 8:30 PM
Celerino Sanchez said...: A solid 4 2/3 innings, almost as impressive as Jack Morris in game 7 of the 1991 WS; April 21, 2021 at 8:41 PM
Scottish Yankee fan said...: It is nearly 2am here in Scotland

I can't take any more of this game I'm away to bed

Expect to see an 8-0 score when I get up in the morning

This team top to bottom sucks at every single level possible

Looking at the score, I feel fortunate.; April 21, 2021 at 9:33 PM
Publius said...: Tonight cinched it for me. These are non competitive at bats, up and down the lineup. They're completely clueless. They're bad hitters. So, not long ago, they were cheating, Astros style. And now they can't. They don't know what's coming now, and therefore can't hit. There were whispers the Astros, and Red Sox, weren't alone. Covid probably delayed/sidetracked whatever guardrails were put in place to prevent, but those guardrails are in full force this year. I think we need to face it...our heroes were cheating.; April 21, 2021 at 9:50 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: I have been following this team since 1966. I have never seen it play this bad, for this long.; April 21, 2021 at 9:53 PM
Anonymous said...: OK--there's the .200 Mendoza Line. But what's name for the line below that--the .100 line, which Stanton, Hicks, and half the starting lineup seem poised to breach in their unstoppable freefall?; April 22, 2021 at 12:06 AM
Kevin said...: Worse even than their limp bats, the seeming lack of effort. Maybe that look of helpless shocked look on their faces, as though Godzilla just parachuted in and flattened the Bronx. I've been watching them since 1974, this isn't close to when Thurman........ but you guys know what I mean.; April 22, 2021 at 12:26 AM
Kevin said...: BTW, Cashman needs to stop treating these guys like physical and mental weaklings. Get Stanton's ass out in left field, bench players who aren't doing their jobs, and ride the hot hand (easy with the bullpen). If players are treated like babies during the season, how in the Hell will they have IT for the playoffs? Yeah, I know that guys need some rest, but at this point I wouldn't mind if Great Caesar's Ghost was pushing them.; April 22, 2021 at 12:40 AM
Anonymous said...: "Ride the hot hand"--otherwise known as "recency bias," one of the idiocies already in practice by Cashman and Boone that has destroyed the team.; April 22, 2021 at 2:58 AM
Anonymous said...: My first baseball memory is the 1962 WS watching the 7th game with my extended family. Through the haze of time, I believe that that was the game where Tony Kubek got hit in the throat with the ball and was choking. [Full disclaimer the memory loop is about 10 seconds long and consists in some part as my Aunts thinking Kubek was dead.]

My life has gone full circle as my latest memory is of the Yanks choking.

Beauregard Jackson Pickett Burnside said...: The Kissinger/Bombers thing made me snicker yesterday when I saw it. Today it caused a snort. Pretty good when you can laugh at the same joke twice. Very creative. Excellent really. Amazing how in this April of Yankees Despair, a bomb joke brightens the mode.; April 22, 2021 at 8:36 AM
Anonymous said...: Archangel--Kubek was struck in the throat in game 7 of the 1960 World Series, not the 1962 World Series. Here's a kinescope of the complete original NBC broadcast of that game. Go to 1:45:40 for the Kubek incident. Mel Allen, the true voice of the Yankees despite the arrogation of that title by the odious Sterling, is at the mic.
