I'd like to lower my total wins down to 72 - more like 1967, a year you can find photographic proof that I was at the stadium with one of those idiotic plastic horns, some kids sunglasses, and an idiotic smile on my face, along with my buddies' faces, because we just knew that we were sitting in the seat of empire and that our own dynasty, which we didn't know was already over, would prevail, just like a good run-on sentence that you only realize that lasts too long WEEEEELLLLL after it's too late.
I'm on record, although not as bleak as Hoss - for 72 wins
Thanks for the opportunity to be of service. I'm going to go polish up my crystal ball. And my crystal balls, for that matter...
Okay, I'm making the change.
Ah fuck it I'm goin with 88 wins/ 8 Rodon wins/ 44 hr for Soto
I'll stick. What do those guys at Baseball Reference know, anyway?
Screw baseball reference. Listen to Hoss. Listen to the howls of pain rolling down River Avenue on a dark evening. Listen to the ghosts of Yogi, Scooter, the Babe and Mickey. They carry on the wind and quietly keen, "We're fuuuuuuucked...."
79 was when I had an unexpected bout of optimism, like a sudden explosion of gas after the cabbage soup. 72 is my gut on pizza - slow and steady as she goes.
88 wins 9 Rodon wins 41 Soto HR
Perhaps getting Cole and The Martian back in the second half will be like trading for 2 stars and propel the Yankees toward a wild card run.
Oh, and may Cashman contract the Bubonic Plague from ingesting one of the stadium's notorious rodent-infested hot dogs. I wonder what those suckers are really made from. No beef, I'd wager. As they say in Texas about a fraud, "All rat and no cattle".
I'm adding the changes as we go.
Seriously, Baseball Reference? A 71 win season would mean a total collapse fueled by unending injuries and ignoring the fact that practically every other team is just as mediocre as the Yankees.
Nah. Other teams have things like pitchers and players under 30.
I actually know what Mustang has been drinking, and I still wouldn't go with his numbers.
Optimism ( even tongue in cheek...I want attention optimism ) just doesn't work for with this country.
Not now.
Not anymore.
I'll have another shot of Jim Beam, please.
91 wins/14 Rodon wins/43 Soto HR
