Dramatic win keeps Yanks from passing Toronto in Tankathon standings

It felt nice, but we've seen this before.

Not ready to buy into this team's comeback spirit.

Certainly the position of General Manager as Sinecure has been nailed down despite the all too obvious evidence there needs to be an impeachment clause in the corporate charter.; July 25, 2021 at 8:12 AM
Wezil1 said...: Oops- Mark is 58 now. Time flies! But think how much money he would save Hal! Platica!
Jack, on the other hand, will not.; July 25, 2021 at 8:18 AM

The definition of "mediocre" is: Of only moderate quality; not very good.; July 25, 2021 at 9:20 AM
13bit said...: "Banana Smirch" is an anagram for "Brian Cashman," but there are so many more if you see what our friends at the Internet Anagram Server present: https://new.wordsmith.org/anagram/anagram.cgi?anagram=briancashman&t=500&a=n

"Randy Levine" becomes "Lavender Yin" and Hal Steinbrenner becomes Herbal Sinner Net, among many others.

Life is too short to waste on another moment's thought about the moron, the loser and the idiot, though. I am off to get some shit done.; July 25, 2021 at 9:24 AM

And he didn't make it easy on himself, did he?; July 25, 2021 at 10:40 AM

JM said...: Gio's back. But Torres is still at short.; July 25, 2021 at 12:48 PM
ranger_lp said...: We finally homer…; July 25, 2021 at 2:35 PM
Ken of Brooklyn said...: BRAVO Bitty> I cannot unsee Banana Smirch, LOL!!!!!

And this has to be the sleepiest game I've listened too yet,,,,,, tho the Yanks are winning for now; July 25, 2021 at 2:41 PM
Ken of Brooklyn said...: PS> I hate Stanton so sooooOOOOOOoooooo much!; July 25, 2021 at 3:09 PM
JM said...: Why Boone doesn't sit him for a few games is yet another mystery of the incompetent.

Torres gets a few hits and gets cocky on the bases. Dumb, dumb, dumb. You can never have too many runs at Fenway.

Will Boone let German start the 8th? Probably. But on a very short leash. Great game by Sluggo.; July 25, 2021 at 3:31 PM
JM said...: Double. Yank him now. And hurry.; July 25, 2021 at 3:33 PM
JM said...: Oh, Lasagna.; July 25, 2021 at 3:37 PM
JM said...: TAKE OUT LASAGNA!!!!!!!; July 25, 2021 at 3:40 PM
JM said...: My God, they're doing it again. And Boone, as always, is not moving fast enough to keep up.

Motherfucking moron.; July 25, 2021 at 3:44 PM
JM said...: Oh, no, Britton.

We're doomed. And no outs.; July 25, 2021 at 3:46 PM
Leinstery said...: This asshole Boone doesn't belong coaching little leaguers.; July 25, 2021 at 3:51 PM
JM said...: Britton was actually very good, but inheriting guys on second and third with no outs is a deadly situation.

Boone, of course, brought Lasagna in for the second straight day after he's been on the Covid IL for almost two weeks. Great idea. Really smart. And then he leaves him in to get pasted for about three batters too many.

What a clown. They say the players win and lose the games, not the manager, but I think we can lay the blame for at least some of these late-inning disasters directly on Boone. He doesn't pull Chapman when he's getting killed--twice, right?--then does the same with Greene and now Lasagna.

How he keeps his job is a total mystery.; July 25, 2021 at 3:55 PM
JM said...: And we lose.

Thanks, Boonie, you schmuck.; July 25, 2021 at 4:02 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: W - Workman
L - Boone; July 25, 2021 at 4:03 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: That gives schmuck's a bad name.; July 25, 2021 at 4:04 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: Speaking of guys that know schmucks, RIP Jackie Mason.; July 25, 2021 at 4:05 PM
BernBabyBern said...: And the Anti-Jeters strike again

It's ridiculous how the losses get more and more jaw-droppingly crazy.

I mean, they couldn't script shit this unbelievably pathetic.; July 25, 2021 at 4:11 PM

Unknown said...: When it was runner on first and second, that’s when you bring a ground ball pitcher like Britton in. You don’t bring him in with runners on second and third - that’s when you bring in a guy that can get K’s.

Boone is so overmatched, it’s an absolute joke. I’m done watching baseball for a while after today. This was it; July 25, 2021 at 4:36 PM
BernBabyBern said...: Wile E. Coyote has a better decision-making success rate than Aaron Boone.; July 25, 2021 at 4:41 PM
