Game Thread and a Compromise

 OK, forget this Ryan McBroom stuff... 

He's a jinx.

How about this guy instead?

Pardon my (continued) ignorance, but what the hock was that?

Doug K. said...

I don't know. I searched for baseball and vacuum cleaners figuring it was like a McBroom but maybe a step up.

Baseball and vacuum cleaners got me a lot of links to Brooks Robinson who, apparently, was nicknamed, "The Human Vacuum Cleaner"

It also found the above graphic. So I went with it.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Okey dokey!

So now let's talk about the carmines' meter reader uniforms!

AboveAverage said...

Allow me to be the first to say - - - today - that those RED sox uniforms that the Red Sox players are wearing right now during this game that I am currently watching on my TV screen…..

I. Don’t. Like. Them.

Thank you for listening.

( oh and nice graphic, Doug )

AboveAverage said...

Two more outs, Please.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

You don't like meter readers?

Doug K. said...

Brigadoon Refsnyder sighting.

Also, Rodon doesn't look too good so far.

At least the Yankees made the Red Sox starter throw 20 something pitches in the first.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

I think the rodent used too much slippery elm today.

AboveAverage said...

. . .

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Rodent is going to be over 20 before the inning is over. This looks to be a five hour game.

Doug K. said...

Yeah...

Is it too late to change graphics?

AboveAverage said...

Rodunce has achieved his second oooot

AboveAverage said...

Ugh

The curse of the good humor ice cream uniforms

AboveAverage said...

DID YOU FEEL THAT TREMOR?

The Winny Watch Early Warning Shake Alert Team Has Been Activated.

Stay tuned for Seismic updates as they occur.

BTR999 said...

How about playing Trevino in a park favoring RH hitters instead of Wells?
It’s not like Wells has done anything to earn more playing time.

BTR999 said...

Volpe regressing to 2023 form.

Doug K. said...

As is Rodon

AboveAverage said...

Based on the Uniforms - I have renamed the Boston team:

The Puss Sox

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Don't you mean Pus?

AboveAverage said...

Rotton Rodon

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Who's ready in the bullpen???

Doug K. said...

The irony of the uniforms is, that if someone walked into a bar in Boston wearing that uniform he would get the shit beaten out of him.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

My win total prediction for the rodent is looking good right now.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Most of the players on the carmines would be attacked if they walked into most bars in bean town. Well, except the white, waspy guys. The rest would be treated to the racist townie asshole reception.

JM said...

Why is the Rodent still pitching?

Rufus T. Firefly said...

JM, because they're paying him a lot of money.

JM said...

Oh. Well, then.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Why do they have the stupid in-game interviews?

AboveAverage said...

Taking One for the Team - Carloss is

JM said...

And a fine third inning. So wtf were the first two?

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Not exactly Catfish Hunter though.

Just give a few scoreless innings rodent.

JM said...

Yankees having issues with the strike calls.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

The ump sucks for both sides.

Better swing at anything close.

Doug K. said...

Stanton is swinging at the low and away pitch again!

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Way to go Mikey!

Doug K. said...

He sucks!!!!!

We are going to lose.

Unless... I remove the graphic!

JM said...

Stantonesque swing at a pitch very low and very outside.

Hinkey Haines said...

News flash: Stanton still sucks.

Doug K. said...

The graphic is gone.

JM said...

Rodent made it through five. 109 pitches.

JM said...

Okay, Doug, now they can get going.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

waiting for that to happen...

JM said...

Soto!!!!!

JM said...

Bullshit review call.

DickAllen said...

It’s too late Doug. Duque flipped off the gods with hubris.

Doug K. said...

DickA - I tried but you may be right. Is there anything more powerful in the Yankeeverse than the negative consequences of invoking McBroom? Sadly, no.

Doug K. said...

Former Yank Greg Weissert

DickAllen said...

There he goes again: the King of Swing and Miss

BernBabyBern said...

I’m coming in to this game late. So, we’re losing to the Savannah Bananas?

JM said...

I fucking hate Boston crowds when they're winning. Just moronic and obnoxious.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

...and when they're losing, and when they're tied.

JM said...

Another bullshit review. What's the point of those if they get them wrong twice in one game?

JM said...

Plenty of chances tonight, not much out of them.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Bonehead has given up

ranger_lp said...

We’re not winning tonight…

Rufus T. Firefly said...

I haven't mentioned how much I loathe schmutz as an announcer.

JM said...

Ffs

JM said...

And so, tomorrow.

JM said...

Gonzales needs to go.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

This reliever is almost as annoying as the arrow guy

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Gnight

TheWinWarblist said...

Ryan McBroom? Bah!!

BTR999 said...

I was out and missed most of the game.
Doesn’t seem like I really missed anything though…
