Six kids!

Well, I thought sure Booooone would bat the Martian cleanup, but given that he’s on diaper duty today, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised he’s third.

DickAllen said...

Giancarlo made it home from third on a hit!!

TheWinWarblist said...

Hey! The Big Hamburger and the Kids generated a rally and scored two runs! That's amazing. And then Sevy coughed them right up!. That's predictable.

TheWinWarblist said...

All Rise! All Rise!

DickAllen said...

65 pitches in two innings. Say goodnight Sevy

DickAllen said...

Shoot. My feed is about two minutes behind live!

DickAllen said...

That was some shot

TheWinWarblist said...

Suzyn says today's line up is the youngest fielded by the Yankees since 1969. Mercer was in that line up.

GO GO LITTLE TONY!! GO!!

Volpe's wRC+ is up into the low 90s.

Dick,

Not watching, but impressed that Stanton made it home from third on less than a triple.

I wish that he would have ruptured his achilles doing it. Or maybe a career ending head-first slide. Or maybe trip down the dugout steps and rupture both MCLs, ACLs, and UCLs.

I mean a guy can dream, can't he?

Yankees Run on Duncan*



* except Stanton

DickAllen said...

And Sevy gets out of the fourth with 104 pitches. What is wrong with this kid?

DickAllen said...

Coming to a stadium near you:

Judge and the seven dwarves

Because Stanton is the invisible man

TheWinWarblist said...

Another rally?? Double steal??? Retaking the lead??

HOW THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO ROOT AGAINST THIS!!???

Pocono Steve said...

Who are these guys? This is too fun. It needs to stop!

DickAllen said...

What a stiff

TheWinWarblist said...

Gary Sanchez has 19 home runs? How? Where? A beer league?

TheWinWarblist said...

Brito didn't give up a run. What is going on?

What? The? Unholy? Fuckedy? Fuck? Is? Going? On?

DickAllen said...

You know, this could actually make September YANKEES baseball required watching. Instead of old and stiff, we got kids.

Think of it: No Hicks (remember him?), no Donaldson (how quickly can we forget?), no Bader, and, well, we still have that big expensive stuff.

But this is hopeful. Even just a little bit hopeful is better than what we started out with. Maybe we can call up a new GM?

Harkey was just signaling that Mr Holmes needed a drink before heading into the game.

I'm trying to determine what they poured in his cup?

Strawberry Quick?

Bourbon?

Castor Oil?

DickAllen said...

Doesn’t anybody choke up on the bat with two strikes anymore?

BTR999 said...

Holmes might be the worst fielding pitcher in the bigs

Yankees win…

ranger_lp said...

Tank has been put on hold…

DickAllen said...

Sweet. First time I’ve enjoyed a game in…

Kevin said...

Kinda nice to see some inspired baseball being played by the Yankees. It's almost as if they think (in some multi-verse) that they are playing for something. Forgive me, it seems like years since...

AboveAverage said...

"this will give all those damn, cry baby fans a sense of hope - that is until I destroy everything during the off season"

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Don't lose your heads people.

Remember, the goal for the season is Ca$hole is fired.

Hinkey Haines said...

Nu-uh. I am NOT falling for this. NO.

DickAllen said...

Hoping The Intern gets fired is akin to waiting for Godot.

Ain’t happening. We’re stuck with the incompetent weasel and his equally incompetent owner.

JM said...

If we win every game from now on, we'll end up with 93 wins.

That would be hysterical. Impossible, but hysterical.

We can only imagine what this season would have been like if Judge didn't stub his toe on the stupid concrete in LA. Can we sue them? It looks like he might have equaled or bettered last year's home run total.
