It was the 70’s, of which I dare no5 speak.

HoraceClarke66 said...

Great picture, 999!

I understand they traded yachts, too.

HoraceClarke66 said...

And Jackie Wilson said...

HoraceClarke66 said...

So Berti is hurt—don't worry, Jeeves seems to be all right—and the Yanks...brought up Kevin Smith (no, not the Silent Bob one).

Hey, bummer we don't have a terrific, all-around utility guy hitting. 386 in Triple-A. Oh, wait...


BTR999 said...

So Berti is Hurty…

Say Hoss, that pic is from JM. Unless you meant the mental image of the 70’s I referenced.

the early 1970s - when wife swapping was more in vogue

HoraceClarke66 said...

Oops, sorry, just a brain glitch. Great pic, JM!!

HoraceClarke66 said...

And hey, Berti being out will now force Ma Boone to do the thing he most loathes doing: play the guy with the hot hand.

Oh, the humanity!

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Hoss,

Said prospect is not on the 40 man (according to something I read on the interwebs, so it must be true). Plus, I believe the intern is sure he needs a little more seasoning, maybe ready in 2029.

They swingers swapped houses and dogs also. I'm guessing the road manager just changed the address cards after a road trip.

reposted from previous thread:


Off topic, but I'm normally off my rocker...

I count three (3) scheduled weekday day games this year if we want to do another outing.

Thursday Jun 20 vs. the toilet bowls (Mastercard Half-Price Games)
Forget the Master's Birthday. I'll celebrate at home.
Monday Jul 20 vs. the DEVILs (Mastercard Half-Price Games)
Thursday Aug 22 vs. the Cleveland Naps

I'd be interested in either spending the game at the watering hole, or buying the cheapest possible seats (can we all pretend we're the local boys and girls club?).

Rufus T. Firefly said...

AA,

My brother waited until the 90s.

HoraceClarke66 said...

Dogs are very loyal. They could not have been pleased.

HoraceClarke66 said...

Another missed opportunity.

Great at-bat by Torres. Up 2-0, no one out yet, their pitcher just walked in a run. Gleyber can't manage a flyball. He can't even manage a run-scoring DP.

I will not miss that guy when he walks.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Hoss,

Given the travel schedules, I'd guess the dogs were more loyal to the baby mamas.

...and I won't miss Joggy 2.0 either.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

I guess Bonehead won't have to agonize over taking PoPo out while pitching a no-hitter.

HoraceClarke66 said...

By the way, the "Name That Yankee" is Oscar Gamble

HoraceClarke66 said...

Joggy 2.0...with about one-tenth the talent. Granted, the juice probably helped Joggy 1.0. But at his best, he put up MVP seasons.

Gleyber never did fulfill anything like his potential. Another poor start this year, Game 15 with no homers, 2 ribbies. Always a mystery.

HoraceClarke66 said...

Volpe, Volpe, Volpe!

Great to see. Also, Cabrera ALMOST got hold of another one. The kids are all right.

HoraceClarke66 said...

And Soto! Nice. C'mon, HAL, we dare you. We dare you not to re-sign him!

HoraceClarke66 said...

Also, we have to give Boone his props for greenlighting him. What's going on???

JM said...

I'm watching Fallout, it's addicting. Recording the game to catch up in a bit.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

JM,

A friend just recommended Fallout to me. Next on the list.

Hoss,

The accountants will let the intern know if they can re-sign Soto.

aaaaaaaaand...
Tomorrow, I will finally be allowed to watch a game (without adding to HAL's pocketbook). Which means the Yankees will either be blown out, or worse, a pineapple loss. Almost afraid to watch.

AboveAverage said...

Fallout and The 3-Body Problem

Pocono Steve said...

Not bad, Poteet!

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Isn't PoPo a reliever?

I am so confused. Hopefully just alcohol and not alzheimer's (or as my mother used to say "old-timers")

(n.b., alzheimer's sPel cZek suggests altimeters)

Rufus T. Firefly said...

AA,

Don't have netflix. only xxxflix. and amazon. well not an amazon. Mrs. Teasdale is actually quite petite. And no, NOT poteet.

JM said...

That was a nice shot by Soto in the fourth.

BTR999 said...

Poteet shutting everybody’s mouths tonight (including mine)

Have to check out Fall Out
3 Body Problem was flat out great.

Want something different? Check out Midnight Diner. It’s Japanese, with subs and dubs available. Very short episodes that tell simple but affecting stories

JM said...

Three Body Chinese series or the new one?

Poteet was fantastic. Impressive.

BTR999 said...

How sweep it is!!

BTR999 said...

JM, The new one on Netflix…I jurist started the Chinese version on Prime

ranger_lp said...

Yankees Win!!!

TheWinWarblist said...

Working all day. Missed both games. But it's a good day: A Yankee sweep of a division leader and I paid my taxes with enough left over to pay off the mortgage.

Ahem ...

THE-uuhuhuhuhuhuhuh-AHAHAHAAAAAAAAHHHH-UHUHUH-UH-UH-UH-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH-uhuhuhuhUHH Yankees WIN!!!!!!!!!!!

And again: THE-uuhuhuhuhuhuhuh-AHAHAHAAAAAAAAHHHH-UHUHUH-UH-UH-UH-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH-uhuhuhuhUHH Yankees WIN!!!!!!!!!!!



Fuck Hal.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Winnie,

Nice about the mortgage payoff. It is an exhilarating moment.

Of course, after I retired I decided to ....

invest in property. Not bad so far, but now I want to get out and get back to zero debt.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Oh and fuck HAL with Ca$hole's bald head.

AboveAverage said...

JM - the new series from David Benioff.

I'm enjoying it so far although I do have some criticisms about certain elements and choices that were made.

My daughter is providing detailed feedback on Fallout - which I will likely begin tonight.

SWEEEEEEEEEEET Double Head SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP! btw

AboveAverage said...

Rue Fuss

You may need a lubricant if YOU are overseeing that unique twosome.

What would be your slickenizer of choice?

JM said...

AA, I won't watch the new series. I enjoyed the books, and the Chinese series was a more faithful adaptation. One thing I liked was the very Chineseness of it all. It worked for me. But I know a lot of people won't ever read the books or see the Chinese show, so whatever works.

TheWinWarblist said...

I feel you Rufus!

TheWinWarblist said...

AA, I would provide all the natural lubrication needed if I ever got to actually fuck any part of Hal with any part of CashBrain. I would be raging! My vagina would flood the sex dungeon from anger and joy!

Rufus T. Firefly said...

I'm feeling like I'm living on the Wrong Earth.

How in the fork is this poorly constructed and poorly coached team 12-3?

HoraceClarke66 said...

By playing, for the most part, even worse constructed and worse managed teams. Though it won't last.

AboveAverage said...

In addition - I ask - WHY THE HECK AREN’T THE YANKEES 15-0!!!

There can be no excuse for this underperformance!

Heads must roll.

What an embarrassment to all that is sacred!

I may not be able to sleep tonight…

Godzilla-sized pineapple is coming...
