2. Verdugo & Soto may have finally lifted the Yankee LH bat curse. Soto should soon hear "MVP" chants. You can sense Verdugo thriving in NYC.
3. Luis Gil's ERA now 2.92 (not far from Gerrit Cole's 2.63 last year.)
4. Signs of primordial life - 6 for 19, 6 RBIs - in Yankee Zone of Death (yellow.)
5. Garbage can lids banging on Justin Verlander's career. (Also, Li'l Jose 0-for 3 with two Ks, lifted in late innings.)
6. Fun to watch Astros writhe after driving fouls into their legs.
7. Yanks now 5-0 this year against their biggest modern era nemesis.
8. No Yankees participated in Met Gala. (Did Cashman go undercover as Zendala?)
9. Astros now 2nd worst record in AL (after White Sox abomination.) Will they return to successful tanking strategy? (If so, Verlander will be cheap at deadline.)
10. Rangers/Flyers Bruins and Knicks/Celtics could boil NYC-Boston rivalry before Yanks/Redsocks finally face each other (June 14.)

Did you mean the Bruins?
Ca$h went as RuPaul
11. Hal went as Bad Bunny
12. No atomic bombs were detonated
13. I miss Mariano
and skipping to joyful, affirmative takeaway #100 -
100. They did not sell the naming rights to the Stadium, even though they could have, as Hal reminded us, and made a ton of moolah.
bitty, It"s only a matter of time before we watch the Starr Insurance Yankees play on Crazy Eddie Field at The Money Store Stadium.
...unless HAL dies in a (not at all) tragic private jet crash beforehand.
My world has turned upside down. The Yankees are 11 games over and the Asstros are 11 games under.
Am I living in a contorted parallel universe?
Bruins probably, but I can say as a phormer Philadelphian, phuck the Phlyers
Dick, it's Bizarro baseball.
Rufus, I could live with the New York Ham Fighters.
Speaking of outrages, why does The New Yorker have a cartoon of Ohtani on the cover? I'm so old, I remember when they had a drawing of Judge on the cover. And why not Soto instead of that...that...Dodger?
Rufus....playing on Crazy Eddie Field would just be INSANE!
El Duque must mean the Bruins. But I'm afraid the FL Panthers will do them in.
JM,
Playing on Hebrew National Field at Manischewitz Stadium?
The tie in possibilities are many.
That win yesterday was so delicious that I listened to the entire broadcast, delayed my weight training just to soak it in. 10-1 closeout would have been so great, but that idiot in the 9th let in two runs.
Too bad Altuve and the evil dwarf didn't break their legs with those foul balls. That would've been a measure of comeuppance. Effing Cheatros at it again, trying to delay the game, pretending that they're hurt. Be a man, stop rollin' around on the ground screamin' and cryin', putzes!
Emmanuel Berbari has a much better voice than Justin Shakil and is a lot less annoying. In fact, I thought Berbari did a great job last night. Good, strong baritone voice. No running words together, no mumbling, no forced register changes going up and down to try to make his voice sound more interesting. Good contrast with Suzyn Waldman's voice, so there is no mistaking the two. He's just easier on the ear than Shakil.
I'm starting to figure out why Shakil is so annoying. There is not enough tonal difference between Shakil's voice and Suzyn Waldman's voice. Sometimes you can't even make out what they're saying, when they're talking over each other. Sometimes Shakil talks too quickly, runs words together, and kind of mumbles, especially in his replies to Waldman's comments. Shakil has a sing-song quality to his voice that makes you cringe sometimes. I understand that you don't want to sound like a monotone but this is ridiculous.
Verfluffel finally got his butt handed to him by the Yankees. This guy is so annoying. He's the one I love to hate. There is no one else who I'd rather see get taken to the woodshed. When he's going good, he just flings fastballs right down the middle, all over the zone upstairs, and batters can't hit him. And his cocksure attitude and stupid beard always rub me the wrong way.
Duque, he might be available at the deadline? Cashman should be crucified, drawn, and burned at the stake if he gets this guy. Verfluffel should RETIRE. He probably should've retired after last year. (It feels good to say that about someone other than a Yankee!) It was great to see the shellshock on his stupid bloated face as those shots were flyin' out. Hope the artillery barrages keep on happening for him, all the way to the retirement home.
Hammer, I think you're right. Berbari is the man if they can't get Ricky.
"For sperm whales, bursts of clicks known as a codas come in different varieties and form the building blocks of speech...The whales shape these codas into some 300 types by varying their duration, rhythm and tempo, and sometimes by adding an extra click."
That extra click got Judge tossed out of the game the other day. Be careful how you use it.
