AboveAverage said...: I'm AA and I do not approve the formatting of the Yarbrough text on some mobile browsers. Tried to fix it but could not (however the formatting is ACES on lap and desk top browsers); May 3, 2025 at 1:01 PM
AboveAverage said...: Well played, Sir!; May 3, 2025 at 1:01 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: ALL RISE!; May 3, 2025 at 1:21 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: That was quick.; May 3, 2025 at 1:21 PM
Kevin said...: AA, there's been a bit of naaastiness, a bit of an extreme naastiness yesssss. Your name was mentioned along with some of your friends, yesss. Oh nothing can be proved oan anybody, as usual.... Time for some of the old Moloko plus, that'll sharpen you up for the old ballgame, yessss.; May 3, 2025 at 1:25 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: So I turn on the game, watch Bellinger fly out. Judge is up. I tell myself, I have time to walk into the next room and get a Coke Zero.

Nope. .434. They're saying that, among the Yankees, only Paul O'Neill has a higher average after 32 games (.473, in 1994, a year in which he remained above .400 until June 17th.; May 3, 2025 at 1:26 PM
AboveAverage said...: Perfection, Kevin; May 3, 2025 at 1:26 PM
AboveAverage said...: It is incredible; May 3, 2025 at 1:27 PM
JM said...: I missed it, too. Shut off the radio coverage because it's getting very close to dinnertime. So much for being polite.; May 3, 2025 at 1:41 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: In the "Nothing to See Here" category: Schmidt scratched from this afternoon's start because of "left side soreness"...and had an MRI last night. YES reports he expected to start today, but Boone wanted to "air on the side of caution" (as opposed to his usual airing on the side of stupidity), and that he will pitch on Tuesday.

Or, you know, next August.; May 3, 2025 at 1:49 PM
BTR999 said...: Is it me or have the Yankees used a different lineup in every game this season? Why in the actual fuck i#cBellinger leading off?; May 3, 2025 at 2:02 PM
AboveAverage said...: August 2026 I presume . . .; May 3, 2025 at 2:24 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: Judge with a single. 17 multi-hit games, 13-game hitting streak, up to .435. Incredible. Too bad no one else on the team can hit...; May 3, 2025 at 2:50 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: Can't complain about how well Goldschmidt is playing; great play in the field today. But if they had signed Alonso, who could have been had for a song—and who is only 30—then they would have the option to trade Rice or someone for a good pitcher.; May 3, 2025 at 2:52 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: Meant to say, too, that if they had signed Alonso, they would have had the Players of the Month in both leagues in their lineup. Bozos.; May 3, 2025 at 2:52 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: Oh, no. Leiter fils is warming up.; May 3, 2025 at 2:54 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: Amazing what a destructive entity Leiter Junior is. One pitch—ONE PITCH—and TB not only gets a runner on but Volpe is injured.

Not that great a loss—Volpe is a bad player, who Pal is utterly addicted to—but again, why is Leiter still on the damned team? Why is he pitching in the 8th? This guy just has a dark cloud over his head, like Joe Shlobotnick, or whoever that character was called in L'il Abner.; May 3, 2025 at 3:10 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: Two pitches—TWO PITCHES!—and TB has the tying run on second. It seems Leiter has a big leg kick and is slow to home. Perfect for a reliever.; May 3, 2025 at 3:11 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: A walk. TEN PITCHES...Here comes the big blast...; May 3, 2025 at 3:14 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: Double steal...; May 3, 2025 at 3:16 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: Bloop hit into left-center. Tie game.; May 3, 2025 at 3:20 PM
JM said...: Leiter fluid.; May 3, 2025 at 3:21 PM
JM said...: Why wasn't Blake out talking to Leiter to buy time for Weaver to warm up? What kind of amateur hour is this?; May 3, 2025 at 3:22 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: Double-play ball up the middle...which the un-replaced Volpe kicks.

And guess what? Boone is pulling Leiter!; May 3, 2025 at 3:23 PM
JM said...: Volpe bobbles it. E6. Of course. That play was important.

Choke artist.; May 3, 2025 at 3:24 PM
JM said...: Jesus, Boone is an idiot.; May 3, 2025 at 3:24 PM
JM said...: Hill? What?; May 3, 2025 at 3:25 PM
JM said...: Fucking moron.; May 3, 2025 at 3:26 PM
JM said...: Bellinger! Nice; May 3, 2025 at 3:26 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: It's the usual amateur hour, JM. What was so bad about Williams in the 8th, Weaver in the 9th? Seemed to work yesterday. Or...anybody but Leiter?

Holy shit, but this is a badly run team. I long ago gave up on Cashie's Designated Jeter Replacement. But how about protecting your player, Manger Asshat, and taking him out when he gets hurt?; May 3, 2025 at 3:27 PM
JM said...: Another game lost by our manager for life.; May 3, 2025 at 3:27 PM
Hinkey Haines said...: I wasn’t watching but I got an alert that TB scored on an error & immediately assumed, since it’s late in a close game, it must have been by Volpe. I’m so utterly done expecting anything good from him.; May 3, 2025 at 3:33 PM
JM said...: I've had it with Volpe, too. What a stupid organization.; May 3, 2025 at 3:34 PM
BTR999 said...: LOL @ Reyes hitting in a clutch situation; May 3, 2025 at 3:36 PM
JM said...: Reyes is the best choice to pinch hit? Fucking fuckhead Boone.; May 3, 2025 at 3:36 PM
JM said...: Uh oh. Judge in a pressure situation. Not a good recipe.; May 3, 2025 at 3:38 PM
JM said...: Annnddd, nada.; May 3, 2025 at 3:42 PM
BTR999 said...: Of course he whiffed; May 3, 2025 at 3:44 PM
JM said...: So it's not a save situation, meaning no Weaver.

Idiot.; May 3, 2025 at 3:45 PM
BTR999 said...: He did hit the ball hard, but now the game effectively over.; May 3, 2025 at 3:45 PM
JM said...: My apologies to Hill. Pretty nicely done.; May 3, 2025 at 3:48 PM
AboveAverage said...: The Yankees lose…..; May 3, 2025 at 3:53 PM
JM said...: Boone cuts out dollar-sized stacks of paper to make sure a million will fit in his suitcase, but doesn't realize he's only inheriting a parrot.; May 3, 2025 at 3:54 PM
BTR999 said...: …aaaand the ball never even leaves the INF in the bottom of the ninth.

Outside of Judge, the lineup is completely limp-dicked.; May 3, 2025 at 3:55 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: Leo Durocher: "Never save a pitcher for tomorrow. Tomorrow, it might rain."

Leo was a thoroughgoing dick, but he knew exponentially more about baseball than Mgr. A.H.. Holy shit, that was stupid!...; May 3, 2025 at 4:27 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: ...Once again, we're into the weird Yankees mindset where spring training really lasts until about August, and the important thing is NOT to steal games against bad team when you're not playing that well, but to just get everything lined up for the playoffs.

It's nonsense. Of course it should have been Williams, Weaver today. Which wouldn't guarantee anything, but at least would have been a sincere effort TO WIN THE GAME.

No, instead it's most important to get Leiter the Lesser "right." So, you know, he can continue on his 12-24, 4.48, 8 saves in 6 seasons record. Don't know what we'd do without Mark Leiter.; May 3, 2025 at 4:31 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: By the way, tomorrow...it's scheduled to rain. Or the Yanks will be up/down 8 runs by the third.; May 3, 2025 at 4:32 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: All right, gotta calm down. Sure, I lost all our savings on Leiter having a clean inning. But...I borrowed big from Bruno, down the street, with a heavy vig, and put it all on Rodriguez in the Derby. What could possibly go wrong? What?...Well, maybe Admire Daytona...; May 3, 2025 at 4:36 PM
