Publius said...: As the kids say, Let's F-----g Go!; September 26, 2021 at 6:11 PM
The Bri-man said...: What is best in life…; September 26, 2021 at 6:58 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: This is going to be terrible. You watch. Watch and behold.; September 26, 2021 at 7:13 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: Double play, you say? Yes, double play.; September 26, 2021 at 7:16 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: The Yankees are tied with Tampa Bay for best ERA in the AL, tied with Houston for second in ERA+, and third in the AL in FIP. Despite that, they are 5th in runs allowed/game.

AND 9th IN RUNS SCORED/GAME. They are not good. The sucking flows strong in these our 2021 Suckees.; September 26, 2021 at 7:32 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: Remember. You heard it here first.; September 26, 2021 at 7:33 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: I miss the urine stains.; September 26, 2021 at 7:36 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: At least they have ICS in for his defense.; September 26, 2021 at 7:51 PM
ZacharyA said...: Eduardo Rodriguez this season:

vs Yankees 3.00 ERA
vs everyone else 5.25 ERA; September 26, 2021 at 7:52 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: Joe West needs a short break from umpiring. Say two or three centuries.

And he needs to be tortured for the entire time.

A drunk child could call a better game.; September 26, 2021 at 7:58 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: Herr, Herr!; September 26, 2021 at 8:27 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: Monty pitching a good game. Annnnnd we have no runs.

Fuckers.; September 26, 2021 at 8:38 PM
Pocono Steve said...: Bases loaded. Nobody out. What do we do to disappoint here?; September 26, 2021 at 8:40 PM
JM said...: That's how.; September 26, 2021 at 8:44 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: Gardner, who really should retire, is never going to be a 3 to 5 WAR a year player anymore. that is obvious, but he still has a positive bWAR, 1.0, for this year. He might maybe could kinda be a 5th outfielder next year?

No. No. Nope! NOOOOOO!! I've lost my fucking mind.; September 26, 2021 at 8:44 PM
JM said...: "So A-Rod, you were crucified for using steroids, but when Papi tested positive, we didn't hear a peep about it. How do feel about that?"; September 26, 2021 at 8:44 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: JM, I shall quote from earlier:

TheWinWarblist said...

Double play, you say? Yes, double play.

September 26, 2021 at 7:16 PM; September 26, 2021 at 8:45 PM
JM said...: Yep.; September 26, 2021 at 8:46 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: It was a tainted milkshake. Only available in the DR.; September 26, 2021 at 8:49 PM
JM said...: DJ plays a nice third.; September 26, 2021 at 8:52 PM
JM said...: Monty losing it.; September 26, 2021 at 8:55 PM
Pocono Steve said...: Everybody knew it except for Boone.; September 26, 2021 at 8:59 PM
Pocono Steve said...: Holmes, man.; September 26, 2021 at 9:13 PM
JM said...: He got amazingly good.; September 26, 2021 at 9:16 PM
DickAllen said...: The Yankees are hanging on like a snot; September 26, 2021 at 9:20 PM
JM said...: ICS swings at three straight lousy pitches. Looked like shit.; September 26, 2021 at 9:20 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: JM, how could you tell the difference?; September 26, 2021 at 9:26 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: I'm listening of radio. Did ICS take those swings on one knee?; September 26, 2021 at 9:27 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: Joe West is an alien.

I figured out what species he is:

https://meninblack.fandom.com/wiki/Ballchinian; September 26, 2021 at 9:27 PM
Pocono Steve said...: It would have killed them to leave Holmes in a little longer?; September 26, 2021 at 9:30 PM
JM said...: The bad Wanda.; September 26, 2021 at 9:31 PM
Leinstery said...: Why bring Joely Rodriguez in... and I mean ever?; September 26, 2021 at 9:32 PM
Pocono Steve said...: Cora pinch hits, and Boone overreacts.; September 26, 2021 at 9:33 PM
JM said...: Imploding.; September 26, 2021 at 9:33 PM
JM said...: Boone is an idiot.; September 26, 2021 at 9:34 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: Sooo, The Adverb is stinking up the joint, but who exactly do we go to now?; September 26, 2021 at 9:35 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: And we called Girardi "Binders". Bonehead does nothing without the command from the puppeteers.

John and Suzyn both think Holmes would be out of the inning by now.; September 26, 2021 at 9:35 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: ICS can't catch the curve in the dirt, but he can sure bat down the one-hopper from the outfield.

Now, to just get him a glove to wear instead of that cinderblock he tries to field with.; September 26, 2021 at 9:37 PM
Pocono Steve said...: Boone didn't take Holmes out. Cora did.; September 26, 2021 at 9:38 PM
Platoni said...: Suzyn just asked this but I gotta ask it too, given my fucking limited - proven and professed - lack of goddamn baseball knowledge: why the fuck do you take out a relief pitcher that just ended an inning in 11 fucking pitches?! Fuck!; September 26, 2021 at 9:38 PM
JM said...: Day off tomorrow. Why not use Holmes for another inning? Because of the meaningless lefty-righty bullshit?

What a lousy manager. Incredible.; September 26, 2021 at 9:38 PM
JM said...: Now poor overused Green.

Jesus Christ.; September 26, 2021 at 9:39 PM
Pocono Steve said...: That's all it was: lefty-righty bullshit. Cora baited Boone, and Boone fell for it.; September 26, 2021 at 9:39 PM
JM said...: Called out on the outside pitch.

Joe West is retiring, but he's at least one year late.; September 26, 2021 at 9:42 PM
JM said...: DJ blows one. Wow.; September 26, 2021 at 9:43 PM
Leinstery said...: Analytics Aaron always makes the right move, for the other team.; September 26, 2021 at 9:43 PM
RagsandPags said...: A stunning pitching decision. Clay Holmes is a good pitcher. Jolie Rodriguez is not a good pitcher. I'm amazed that Jolie Rodriguez was brought into the 7th inning of a Yankees-Red Sox game with the season on the line. If you go down, you must go down with your best. Jolie Rodriguez is the worst pitcher in the Yankees bullpen.; September 26, 2021 at 9:44 PM
Platoni said...: You know what that dropped ball means, right? RIGHT?; September 26, 2021 at 9:44 PM
Platoni said...: And there it fucking is!; September 26, 2021 at 9:45 PM
DickAllen said...: What a fucking mess; September 26, 2021 at 9:45 PM
JM said...: Wtf? Gallo dropped it?; September 26, 2021 at 9:45 PM
DickAllen said...: The Yankees are back; September 26, 2021 at 9:45 PM
JM said...: Holy fuck.; September 26, 2021 at 9:46 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: This is what I was getting at earlier. Pitching numbers look good, but still giving up a lot of runs. I think the defense might not be good. I think it might be bad.; September 26, 2021 at 9:46 PM
JM said...: Sorry, Wanda. I thought you were pitching before when it was Joely Richardson.; September 26, 2021 at 9:47 PM
BernBabyBern said...: This is unreal ....

Once again, it's not the number of losses that is so frustrating about this team, it's HOW THEY LOSE.; September 26, 2021 at 9:47 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: Also, and I think we all agree on this, and I cannot stress this enough, Boone is a fucking idiot.; September 26, 2021 at 9:48 PM
DickAllen said...: Oh, you think that highly of him, do you Win?; September 26, 2021 at 9:49 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: You leave Wanda out of this, JM. Wanda still has plenty of time left in the season to fuck up for real.; September 26, 2021 at 9:50 PM
JM said...: West is an embarrassment.; September 26, 2021 at 9:50 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: I'm coming around DickAllen, I'm coming around.; September 26, 2021 at 9:51 PM
JM said...: Why not slide?

Why?; September 26, 2021 at 9:55 PM
DickAllen said...: Boooooone is a miserable useless cunt.

What would it cost him to challenge that call?; September 26, 2021 at 9:56 PM
JM said...: I think Wade beat the tag anyway. Of course, no challenge.; September 26, 2021 at 9:56 PM
ranger_lp said...: Here it is one of the biggest games of the year and the Yanks are playing like a little league team....FFS....; September 26, 2021 at 9:58 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: Did Wade really NOT slide? Didn't slide? Really? What a fucking idiot.

Did he LEARN THAT FROM BOOOOOOOONE!?!?!

Fuckers!; September 26, 2021 at 9:59 PM
DickAllen said...: This team playing like little leaguers should come as a surprise to no one paying attention; September 26, 2021 at 10:00 PM
Pocono Steve said...: Tee the fuck off on Ovaltino.; September 26, 2021 at 10:02 PM
JM said...: Judge not looking too good.; September 26, 2021 at 10:04 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: Yankees got one bad fielding play back.; September 26, 2021 at 10:04 PM
JM said...: This is like the Bad News Bears vs the Bad News Bears II.; September 26, 2021 at 10:05 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: Quite a few urine stained uniforms in the stands. They'll all meet at Playland after the game.; September 26, 2021 at 10:06 PM
JM said...: West blows another.; September 26, 2021 at 10:07 PM
JM said...: Judge!!!; September 26, 2021 at 10:07 PM
ranger_lp said...: Unfucking believable...; September 26, 2021 at 10:08 PM
Leinstery said...: I love John, but I swear he called Judge out 3 or 4 times in that at-bat. Might be time to hang it up.; September 26, 2021 at 10:08 PM
ranger_lp said...: What a bizarre fucking game...; September 26, 2021 at 10:08 PM
Pocono Steve said...: Joe Fucking West.; September 26, 2021 at 10:08 PM
DickAllen said...: How about a FUCK YEAH!; September 26, 2021 at 10:08 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: West just blows.

Judge takes advantage.

Ottovino was a made man Yankee until he spit the bit, then turned traitor. He deserves it and whatever other humiliation is to come.; September 26, 2021 at 10:09 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: What is happening? What is this? Cut it out! I will never let you hurt me again!

I should've changed that stupid lock! I should've made you leave your key!!; September 26, 2021 at 10:09 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: Just a pinkie,

At least it's not an oblique strain (for the next 18 months).; September 26, 2021 at 10:10 PM
JM said...: Holy fuck!!!!; September 26, 2021 at 10:11 PM
ranger_lp said...: Holy fucking shit again!!!; September 26, 2021 at 10:11 PM
DickAllen said...: FUCK YEAH AGAIN!!!; September 26, 2021 at 10:11 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: IF I THOUGHT FOR JUST ONE MINUTE YOU"D BE BACK TO BOTHER ME!!!; September 26, 2021 at 10:11 PM
JM said...: Stantonian.; September 26, 2021 at 10:11 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: Wait. What?

HOLY CRAP A-MIGHTY.

Who is that man and what did they do with Stanton?; September 26, 2021 at 10:12 PM
Pocono Steve said...: FUCK YOU, OVALTINO!!; September 26, 2021 at 10:13 PM
DickAllen said...: So many long faces in the stands. It brings joy to my heart; September 26, 2021 at 10:13 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: Double O hits Rizzo. That's real Boston class there.; September 26, 2021 at 10:14 PM
Leinstery said...: Gallo deserved that plunking.; September 26, 2021 at 10:14 PM
JM said...: Why is Ottavino still in there?; September 26, 2021 at 10:14 PM
JM said...: Oh. He's gone.; September 26, 2021 at 10:15 PM
ranger_lp said...: NY Otto showed up again...LOL; September 26, 2021 at 10:16 PM
BernBabyBern said...: This has been a bizarre game, that's for sure.

Stanton has has a weekend, hasn't he?; September 26, 2021 at 10:16 PM
JM said...: Welcome to Bowie's Glass Yankee tour.; September 26, 2021 at 10:19 PM
JM said...: Stanton has had a Reggie worthy weekend. Maybe better.; September 26, 2021 at 10:21 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: Any time the urine stains are embarrassed is good.

Since the black swan is lurking, I'll quote our own Dick (don't call me Richie) Allen from earlier today:

"And while we’re on the subject, let’s not be rolling around in our joy just yet. This team has done absolutely nothing. They are like a cheating girlfriend who comes by one morning still damp from the night before and fixes your pancakes. Oh joy! She’s come back! ... Remember: it’s the hope that kills you."

September 26, 2021 at 9:53 AM

These Yankees are still sloppy damp.; September 26, 2021 at 10:22 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: The Old Yankees saved the damp slop for us in the Canyon of Heroes. What the fuck is wrong with the 2021 Suckees?; September 26, 2021 at 10:25 PM
DickAllen said...: Thank you Rufus.

What’s that puddle on the floor?

It’s Dalbec wimping out on yet another foul ball that allowed Judge to stay alive. He wet his pants once again.

Thanks little Bobby.; September 26, 2021 at 10:27 PM
JM said...: Imploding again.; September 26, 2021 at 10:30 PM
Pocono Steve said...: Holmes comes out, but Greene stays in. Gotcha.; September 26, 2021 at 10:30 PM
JM said...: Dalbec with the Golden Sombrero.; September 26, 2021 at 10:31 PM
Local Bargain Jerk said...: When did A-Rod become such a fucking traitor? It's one thing to feign objectivity while hosting a national broadcast, it's quite another to favor the Yankees' opponent. Says A-Rod at the bottom of the 8th, just after STanton's home run: "Let's bear in mind that the Yankee pitchers need to get 6 more outs. Anything can happen."

What is his objective in saying that?

What a friggin' dick.; September 26, 2021 at 10:31 PM
JM said...: Forget it, Steve. It's Boonietown.; September 26, 2021 at 10:32 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: LBJ,

A-roid was a dick when he played for the Yankees. He was barely tolerable then in the times that he hit, which was not often enough for those ridiculous contracts.

He's just not trying to hide it anymore.

Pocono Steve

"Holmes comes out, but Greene stays in."

It's bonehead anti-logic in the anti universe. Only Dragonflyman knows why.; September 26, 2021 at 10:36 PM
Pocono Steve said...: A-roid was complaining earlier on the stupid ESPN broadcast about Yankees fans booing him while Redsocks fans cheer Ortiz. I dunno, maybe one fan base is a little more principled than the other one? Just a wild guess.; September 26, 2021 at 10:38 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: Even with a 3 run lead, Wade just gotta get thrown out twice.; September 26, 2021 at 10:41 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: Oh, also: Fuck Arod.; September 26, 2021 at 10:42 PM
JM said...: Ty, Ty, Ty. Tsk tsk.; September 26, 2021 at 10:42 PM
JM said...: Here comes sweatball.; September 26, 2021 at 10:43 PM
Pocono Steve said...: Alex Verdugo: A Portrait of Santa Claus as a Young Man.; September 26, 2021 at 10:45 PM
JM said...: What? A ball?; September 26, 2021 at 10:45 PM
JM said...: West has cataracts or something.; September 26, 2021 at 10:46 PM
JM said...: That was an incredible missed call.; September 26, 2021 at 10:46 PM
JM said...: Biting nails. A walk.; September 26, 2021 at 10:53 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: West does that shit intentionally, his vision is said to better than a Golden eagle. He's just a giant fat fuckface dick.; September 26, 2021 at 10:54 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: Go FlopSweat Go!; September 26, 2021 at 10:55 PM
JM said...: Ta da.; September 26, 2021 at 10:57 PM
JM said...: Sweep, baby.; September 26, 2021 at 10:57 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: The Master is happy. I fell like a battered intimate partner who was taken out for ice cream.; September 26, 2021 at 10:58 PM
Rufus T. Firefly said...: Winnie, you have too high of an opinion of Joe West.

Everyone knows the fans go to the game because he's umpiring.; September 26, 2021 at 10:58 PM
TheWinWarblist said...: Okay, I have nothing further to add tonight. I can only screw stuff up at this point. G'night all.; September 26, 2021 at 11:02 PM
Kevin said...: Tyler Wade, the cornerstone of every championship club. In spite of his speed... And in spite of Boone's best efforts to lose the game... We won.; September 26, 2021 at 11:06 PM
Pocono Steve said...: Top performer of the game for the Yanks? Joe West.; September 26, 2021 at 11:07 PM
Lemon Flavor Whooosh said...: SCHWEEEEEEEEP!!!!!; September 26, 2021 at 11:07 PM
Pocono Steve said...: After the LeMahieu and Gallo business? We had no right to win this game.; September 26, 2021 at 11:08 PM
Anonymous said...: Look at the rest of the schedule for NY, TOR, and BOS. The Yankees are likely to go 2-4 and Toronto and Boston are likely to go 4-2 or 5-1 against the last-place clubs they will be facing.; September 26, 2021 at 11:33 PM
JM said...: Toronto is stumbling and Tampa is resting up for the WS run. We could do fine.; September 26, 2021 at 11:53 PM
Kevin said...: Pocono Steve, absolutely right. And Joe West shouldn't be allowed to drive a car. He has SUCKED for at least fifteen years. And Wade, who in the HELL taught him how to steal?

Umm, I have noticed that the vitriol for Stanton has eased up a bit since sometime in July. And who did Voit piss off?; September 27, 2021 at 12:18 AM
The Archangel said...: Nothing says satisfaction like the second night of a honeymoon [you really need a day to recharge after a Midwest all day and night wedding]
and a weekend sweep of the Red Sucks, whether the Yanks will end up blowing or not.[Which based upon logic , returns me to my first point.]

The Devilish Archangel; September 27, 2021 at 5:45 AM
Ceeja said...: Stanton cleared the wall with a line drive. The Mick would have been proud of that one.

Judge pops his dislocated pinky back in while on second base and refuses to come out. None of these guys need any "resting." Keep playing the same fucking lineup; September 27, 2021 at 8:12 AM
