Today, maybe an earthquake? Or the asteroid?
Meanwhile, the state of hitting in the AL is pathetic.
Four batters over .300.
The top 10 extends all the way down to .279
And the Death Barge can't even tank properly.
Fortunately, NYC has the Jets and Giants...

It's basically going to rain all afternoon, so we won't be skinning any Diamondbacks today.
Why don't they just call the season here, forfeit the few games we have left, send our fearsome lineup home for the winter, and not sign Severino again.
I’m ready for it to be over as well, JM.
3 games in KC next weekend. That’ll give the team a winning record and provide enough cover to bring back the whole rotten gang…ugh!😞😞😞😞
Another botched execution on death row. Put us out of our misery now. I used to look forward to the hot stove season, but now it’s just a world of pain, extending as far as the eye can see.
Tragic number is 1...
Regrettably, the Yankees stadium grounds crew have just completed stretching a large sheet of Saran Wrap across the top of the stadium.
There will be “baseball” in the Bronx today.
Well, it's supposed to rain pretty much all afternoon. My weasel there is "supposed."
They are playing, and Rodan has given up two runs already. In the first.
What a joke.
Mothra must have got the tank memo.
One run was due to a ball Florial kicked. But of course, we're doing our usual, anti-hitting.
Great day for the fans.
Very close to the big E today. Will These Our 2023 New York Yankees do it all themselves or will they get help from their obvious betters.
Hoss,
You realize today is "fan appreciation day", don't you?
Somehow appropriate that it is an all around miserable experience for everyone there.
This is the way to get eliminated…by not being competitive…
Hey, how about them Packers?
Yankees Eliminated…
I liked the end. When it was over. I liked that. When it wasn't on anymore.
switched to pandora after the game. appropriate song came up. Talking Heads, road to nowhere.
Until Ca$hole is fired.
I think that Hoss touched on an incredibly important concept up above. As with the notion of anti-matter or "anti-grav" - from the Buck Rodgers strips - the idea of ANTI-HITTING.
It could be that, after 2004, the rules of the universe, the basic laws of Yankee physics, were reversed and we became a team that excels in ANTI-HITTING, ANTI-PITCHING, ANTI-FIELDING, ANTI-MANAGING, ANTI-TRAINING.
Even reverse JUJU WILL NOT WORK. I don't think we can reverse this course in some ordinary way. It's much more subtle and complex than that. It would involve any one of a number of the following factors: Hal dying or selling the team, Brian dying or being fired, a nuclear weapon hitting New York City or the pope doing a human sacrifice in the Vatican and sending up a special curse to Gregory Peck, Linda Blair and Bela Lugosi, begging for an intercession.
I must go and meditate more on anti-hitting. Hoss has, as usual, given me much to mull on...
mr. bit,
The Vatican has been specializing in human sacrifice for many centuries. They prefer to outsource, though, keeping it outside the hallowed walls.
🎶 E-liminated and it feels so gooood…🎶
The barge snapped it's moorings. HELP ME MISTER WIZARD!
BTR999, great job, I instantly knew the song!
Is this how VE day felt?
Death By One Thousand Strikeouts! *

Miss strikes hard!
I believe she shared a website with Doris the Dominatrix.
Aaron Boone reacts to the #Yankees being officially eliminated from the playoff race:
“It sucks. That’s what you work hard towards all year round … the reality of that not being in play sucks.”
Would Cashman have been fired if he still had hair?
You guys are, as always, the best!
(The Yankees are not.)
Thanks, Bitty. Yeah, "anti-hitting" does have a sort of Buck Rodgers quality to it. Also, something very French and existential, like something Andre Malraux would say. "The Yankees are ze greatest in the world at ze anti-hitting."
And no, I didn't realize it was fan appreciation day. Man!
@ Rufus, Ms. Strikes Hard & Doris Dominatrix sound like my kinda gals. Might look 'em up. I've been hanging with Viscount Victoria a lot lately. A little variety would add some hot sauce to the mix, eh?
@ 13bit, I think the idea of anti-matter and a parallel universe were explored in a Star Trek episode. Nazi Captain Kirk showed up on our Enterprise & our Captain Kirk showed up on the Nazi Version Enterprise. Fortunately, both our Lt. Spock and Nazi Lt. Spock knew exactly what to do to get them reversed. Logic & know-how are so cool. But what to do here with our New York Yankees? We need Lt. Spock, badly. Very badly.
Hammer, I've never met Ms. Strikes Hard, but Doris was in an underrated film back in the 80s:
