JM said...: Gardner just dropped a ball at the LF wall. Right in his mitt, bounced off, 2 runs.

6-0 now. If we had a shot at the Rays' bullpen, that pretty much killed it.

But ya know, he bats leftie, so he's important to have in the lineup. Hits .190, but he's important.; July 29, 2021 at 3:01 PM
JM said...: Gardner should be let go. Stanton should be let go, eat the money. He's not worth clogging up the batting order, in any spot.

These are things that should happen, but won't. Of course.; July 29, 2021 at 3:04 PM
Anonymous said...: Guess today's game is payback for first two games of the series. Ugly.; July 29, 2021 at 3:09 PM
JM said...: Somehow, I can't see us coming up with 10 runs in the last three innings.

Why is Abreu ever brought up from the minors? He's pretty consistently awful. We got rid of Nelson and Kriske (we did, right?). Abreu is just as bad.; July 29, 2021 at 3:10 PM
JM said...: My time with this game is done.

We can now look forward to Clank in LF in Miami. Because, you know, a guy who can't hit anymore is important to have in the lineup when there's no DH.

Wonder how many games we'll see Gardy.; July 29, 2021 at 3:12 PM
Anonymous said...: Today may have killed whatever hopes Cole still had for Cy Young. And now Abreu gets his turn as human sacrifice for the greater good of preserving the bullpen.; July 29, 2021 at 3:13 PM
Anonymous Bosch said...: Ya know, this is almost worth watching so you can tell the grandkids you witnessed the ritual public suicide of the once-mighty Yankees.; July 29, 2021 at 3:22 PM
Anonymous said...: Big milestone: The team now has a negative run-differential on the year.; July 29, 2021 at 3:27 PM
Carl J. Weitz said...: "Abreu is untouchable"....yeah in a Yankee trade but not by MLB hitters.
0.0 IP 3 HR
No wonder we won't consider trading him. He's another Cashman "power arm".
And so it goes.; July 29, 2021 at 3:47 PM
ZacharyA said...: Abreu entered the game with 1.88 ERA on the season.

Now has a 5.65 ERA.; July 29, 2021 at 3:48 PM
Unsustainable BABIP said...: Can Gallo pitch?; July 29, 2021 at 4:09 PM

Fuck each and every body. Salt the earth.

I love you all.; July 29, 2021 at 4:14 PM
ZacharyA said...: Since the All Star Break:

Giancarlo Stanton
8-46 (.174) with 1 HR, 4 RBI, 7 BB/21 K

Joey Gallo
3-34 (.088) with 1 HR, 3 RBI, 2 BB/17 K; July 29, 2021 at 4:29 PM
Anonymous said...: Cashman is insane. He covets .200 hitters the way some people covet Honus Wagner's original baseball card. So how does the Yankee lineup of regulars stack up right now? Let's see: the disintegrating Gardner; Odor; Sanchez; and now Gallo. Sure batting average is a junk, outmoded stat, and a few of these guys will pop an occasional homerun to ease the sting of all the strikeouts. But not one of them would have even sniffed the starting squad on the Yankees of the late 1970s or late 1990s. Nevertheless, Cashman hoards this rusted junk like rare precious metals, unable to part with the trash already on hand (Gardner) and zealously snapping up any that happens to float by; he's become the Texas Rangers' official trash collector. Now you can kiss good-bye to any future for Allen, Florial, Andujar, or Frazier (not to mention the prospects surrendered in this latest folly)--to make way for one of Cashman's prized collectible turds.

This team is not going to compete for anything but the brass ring of MAYBE finishing a game or two over .500, if everything goes right--which it won't.

And how's that 129-pitch outing for Cole looking right now, Boonie?

Here's the final word on this trade, courtesy of the ever-unlistenable Michael Kay, forgetting that he's doing TV, not radio: "SWING and a miss!"

TIme to move on. When will you be shutting down this blog, duque?; July 29, 2021 at 4:45 PM
Anonymous said...: Cheer up everyone

Ender Incaiarte has been released.
LH OF who will only be paid MLB minimum when Cashy Bear scoops him up.
Fits payroll perfectly. Hal will get a woody and go tell his soccer buddies
.215 average and a 24.7 % K rate.

He can play patty cake with Odor.

It will be "Ender Bobblehead Day" to the last 10,000 fans who attend the last game of the year.
There could be a never Ender amount of frivolity on this blog.
WE MUST HAVE HIM.
Give Gallo back

THE SEASON WILL BE SAVED.

13bit said...: Today's game brought to you courtesy of Brian Cashman's hand-picked team.

It's not like 20 years ago, Brian, when you got to grab a lot of glory for Stick and Bob's team.

You own this mess.; July 29, 2021 at 4:47 PM
ranger_lp said...: Abreu is another overrated player touted by the Yankees. Now we're hoping that Kluber and Severino come back to make the playoffs. We all need to pack it in...; July 29, 2021 at 4:56 PM

The Yankees are moving closer to acquiring Anthony Rizzo from the Cubs. #yankees; July 29, 2021 at 6:39 PM

It's Cash's world and we're just living in it.

Fuck it all. We're doomed.; July 29, 2021 at 6:44 PM

The Yankees are trading Alcantara and Vizcaino for Rizzo. The Cubs are picking up all of Rizzo’s remaining salary.; July 29, 2021 at 6:48 PM

Holy Joe Pepitone.

My Grandpa must be pulling some strings from upstairs.

Anonymous said...: What!!. Two super good young prospects for a 32-year old rental!! [I know that they are a long way from MLB. I get that]
Hasn't anyone in this fucking operation learned anything in the last 15 years.
Money paid by Cubs. Hal got another woody.
Another money driven deal.

FUCK HAL , FUCK CASHMAN, FUCK THE HORSES THEY RODE IN ON. AND I GENERALLY AM NON-VIOLENT WITH ANIMALS.

BOYCOTT

TheWinWarblist said...: The trade deadline.; July 29, 2021 at 7:14 PM
Dantes said...: And now we get Rizzo, who i think will play really well for the next two months courtesy of the short porch and play it into a big contract from some other team next year while the Yankees grab some
Even older retread to play first. I look forward to drinking heavily opening day 2022 as Pujols limps put to first in a Yankee uniform; July 29, 2021 at 7:31 PM
ranger_lp said...: Sounds like they are going to move Luke Voit next....; July 29, 2021 at 7:33 PM
Joe Formerlyof Brooklyn said...: He's a free agent next year. A lot to pay for a short-term rental. Would make sense if the pitching had become "lights out" -- but it ain't. Would work (maybe) if the bullpen could successfully end a game -- but it can't.

I'm fairly certain Rizzo can become a Cub (or join any other team) in 2022.

Also, the Spotrac.com notes on his contract claim that it calls for him to get "hotel suite on the road.'; July 29, 2021 at 7:40 PM
13bit said...: Kill me now. La plus qui change…; July 29, 2021 at 7:41 PM
Oasisdave said...: Well, we all should have Hal and Coop would do this to the farm system. Maybe, hopefully they play even worse than they have this far and we will be rid of Cashman; July 29, 2021 at 7:44 PM

Kevin said...: Abreu is now "overrated"??? By who? Some of you guys really need to lay off the wood alcohol.; July 29, 2021 at 10:47 PM
Anonymous said...: And you need to lay off the kiddie porn. Tell us the one again about how Hoy Park could have been claimed by any team. That's one of my favorite Kevin stupidities!; July 29, 2021 at 11:11 PM
EDB said...: A typical Yankee. Loads of strikeouts. Even worse, very poor at getting runners in from third and less than two outs. The Yankees have master this. He does play all three outfield positions, first and third to be fair.; July 30, 2021 at 1:01 AM
