Suit up Derek!

Sprinkle your Magic Captain Dust on all of the players and coaches and the Bubbleliscous Boonester.


TRUE STORY ALERT!!!!

My older iPhone use to auto correct Derek Jeter into Derek Heterosexual.

It was bizarre - I can tell you.

JM said...

Suzyn says there's a lot of number 2s going on.

Ewwww.

Joe of AZ said...

Lineup is comically sad on Jeter day no less.... If I wer him I'd be absent

JM said...

I can't watch. The litany of his greatness, the increasingly annoying bray of Michael Kay, the unappealing personality of Jeter himself (imo)...yuck.

AboveAverage said...

JM - How's your wife doing?

JM said...

Wait and see mode. Scan Monday, oncologist end of the week, with recommendation for chemo or to wait on it. She still hurts from the operation, but managing okay.

Thanks for asking, AA!

AboveAverage said...

No problem JM.

Doug K. said...

JM - keep us posted.

Nice booing of Hal and Brain. Can't imagine what the dugout felt like after watching Jeter make good Yankee history and knowing that they are part of the biggest collapse in baseball history.

JM said...

I'm only sorry I missed the booing.

DickAllen said...


Montas is really good at bouncing balls in front of the plate

JM said...

I missed the top of the first. Home run?

JM said...

Shit, Clank is playing first again.

Stang said...

Top1st: pair of doubles, JM. Franco and Arozarena.

DickAllen said...

I’m sorry. I can’t watch this. Once Judge is back in the dugout, all is lost. Though I will attend the funeral.

AboveAverage said...

Montas sure is a big game pitcher, isn't he

BTR999 said...

Enjoyed the booing of Steinbrenner and Cashman. DJ seemed a bit taken aback by it - maybe he should stick around more. He did say we’d be seeing a lot more of him “real soon”. Hopefully in the GM office?

Beauregard Jackson Pickett Burnside said...

Next, Union Carbide should sponsor a bhopal disaster at the Cashman house.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Way back in the wayback machine, I took reaction kinetics from a Sikh professor (complete with braided beard), the year after Bhopal. It was quite interesting in a non-sarcastic way (unusual for me, I know), but very informative. At least 40 different safety mechanisms that fail -- either by human or human induced failure.

I don't know why I think of Yankees management right now.

I did like that professor though. One of the best I had in Kolledge.

Doug K. said...

They really are terrible aren't they?

JM said...

Good to see Montas is back on track. Just dandy.

ranger_lp said...

@Beauregard…there is a song named that…

Judge struck out swinging. Again.

Doug K. said...

They really are bad aren't they

Hazel Motes said...

It's not enough that Hicks was pulled from the game. He should be DFA'ed as soon as the game ends. And someone in the management hierarchy is going to have to explain why one of the consistently worst players in baseball not only started this crucial game but was batting third.

Beauregard Jackson Pickett Burnside said...

Quick Beau, think of something kind to say about the song Ranger_IP linked… its only polite…

Ranger, the lyrics were very easy to memorize.

Hazel Motes said...

Boone is just not that bright. If you were going to pull Hicks from the game--and he shouldn't have even started--then if you wanted to optimized your defense, you should put Florial in center, Judge in right, and Cabrera in left. The guy just doesn't THINK.

ranger_lp said...

@Beau...LOL...I know...it's not exactly Lou Monte...

BTR999 said...

Not sure what to say about the Hicks kerfuffle. Don’t be surprised if we hear some bullshit from Boone about a Hick’s injury after the game.

Stanton PH?

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Stanton roundly booed.

For.
Good.
Reason.

BTR999 said...

Weak GO by Stanton.

I can’t take anymore of this, I gotta step away.

Doug K. said...

Earlier Michael Kay was talking about the Yankees getting through this period till their starters return from injury...

Like they will be better with Stanton and Donaldson.

Yeeeech.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

They just don't want to win.

The Ghost of Spider Lockhart said...

Now we know what 1978 felt like on the other side.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Gleyber trying to one-up Judge with the three run HR.

With one on...

JM said...

Bronx cheers all around.

TheWinWarblist said...

What went on with Hicks? Why does there have to be more. As if this finely engineered CAshBrain disaster of a season wasn't enough? Now there Hicks nonsense on Jeter Day.

Publius said...

Two of the worst defensive plays you've seen in a while, accompanied...or perhaps created...by as near an on field nervous breakdown as you'll ever see by a professional athlete.

JM said...

Gooseman.

Doug K. said...

And Publius is being kind.

TheWinWarblist said...

Good to see we are losing all classy like.

JM said...

Higgy hit one. Good for him.

Bye bye division.

BTR999 said...

It was an obvious lack of effort by Hicks, his head totally a million miles away.
Will Boone start him tomorrow?

Hazel Motes said...

Not lack of effort--lack of ability. He's old. He's done.
