Whatever happened to all those savages in the box?

DickAllen said...

Boooooone is not only an idiot, he’s also blind.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

They're all right there in front of Volpe.

Looks like a lottery drawing, where we all lose.

DickAllen said...

He’s starting to bring back memories of Chuck Knoblauch

AboveAverage said...

He's really, REALLY good out there.

Best yet.

Really.

Elite.

Get over it.

Hinkey Haines said...

Dick Allen - show some respect. Boone is a PROFESSIONAL idiot.

ranger_lp said...

Wasn’t expecting a comeback…

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Still time to lose.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Happy birthday AA!

I'll ask the question my brother used to ask my mother on her birthday: are you wearing your birthday suit? And do you need bail money?

AboveAverage said...

Long ball coming . . . ?

AboveAverage said...

Yes and Yes, please. They require mixed currency-no bills over hundreds.

ranger_lp said...

That’s more like it…

AboveAverage said...

Yepperz!

Pocono Steve said...

Williams is such an unbelievable piece of shit

Hinkey Haines said...

For fuck’s sake.

DickAllen said...

I’d like to apologize, but truthfully there’s nothing
about Booooone that I’d call professional. Except maybe his expertise at kissing ass.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

SSDD.

AboveAverage said...

I love these Yankees.

‘Love them a lot !

I love Boone !

I love Hal !

I love Pal !

So much Love !

TheWinWarblist said...

Ahem. How the fuck did they find someone equally bad to replace Clay "Blown Save" Holmes as closer? It bogles.

AboveAverage said...

Williams just gave me a w o n d e r f u l birthday gift.

AboveAverage said...

You are the fastest typist I have ever seen, Winny

Hinkey Haines said...

There should be a fire sale at Yankee Stadium tonight & tomorrow. Trying to fill in the blanks & make a run this year is a fool’s errand. Of course, they have just the right fools for the job…

AboveAverage said...

Happy Birthday from the New York Yankees! 🥳 Sending warm wishes on your special day!

Hinkey Haines said...

Happy birthday (non-Yankees version), AA.

TheWinWarblist said...

Captains Log, stardate 7 3 25. My hemorrhoids have bursted like cheese filled bratwursts.

ranger_lp said...

Volpe?

AboveAverage said...

Volpe responds to my ….. editorial.

DickAllen said...

First the Sweathog, then Holmes, and now this guy. At least he makes us forget all about our fucking elite shirtstop

BernBabyBern said...

So, does Volpe finish the season with more errors or HRs? Right now it’s even.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

I'll see what's in the sofa cushions and get back to you.

Carl J. Weitz said...

Another day, another VOLPE-6 (#16) throw.
Williams must change his last name to Dole for obvious reasons.

ranger_lp said...

WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED?

TheWinWarblist said...

Errors. He collects those in bunches when he goes on a tear.

HoraceClarke66 said...

I'm with you Hinkey. A really smart GM could probably deal Bellinger, Grisham, Williams, Wells, Rice, and Volpe, and get a lot.

Oops, I'm sorry. I said a really smart GM. Too bad we don't have one of those.

ranger_lp said...

IS NO ONE PAYING ATTENTION?

Hinkey Haines said...

More exciting base running by the home team.

Carl J. Weitz said...

I hope there's no rat feces in that bratwurst.

ranger_lp said...

IT WAS TWO FUCKING OUTS!

TheWinWarblist said...

Bunting into a sacrifice double play is a new one.

BernBabyBern said...

That could be the stupidest baseball play I have ever seen (and I am officially eligible to play in the Super Seniors event at the World Series of Poker).

How da fuqq did Wells think that was the third out? It was a FUKKING BUNT? Does he really think it was a sacrifice bunt with 2 outs?

I mean, I know Boone is the manager, but I don’t think that even he could call for that.

BernBabyBern said...

At least this team has originality

TheWinWarblist said...

Boone most certainly could have. Boone is a professional idiot.

DickAllen said...

You can’t make this shit up

Rufus T. Firefly said...

The Yankees continue to play great fundamental baseball. Their coaching staff is indeed elite.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Sorry, we're out of mango sorbet. I hope everyone likes pineapple.

TheWinWarblist said...

Is there a word that is the opposite of "heroics" in English?

DickAllen said...

“We’ve got to find a way to get better,’’ Boone said. “…we’re gonna find out if we’re the team we think we are.”

They are not the team they think they are.

TheWinWarblist said...

Love pineapple. Not usually rectal administration, but yeah, I like pineapple.

ranger_lp said...

Amazing how pineapple tastes differently in Jamaica…not as sweet..

Rufus T. Firefly said...

I thought Guy Caballero died last year?

ranger_lp said...

Guy Lombardo Rufus?

BernBabyBern said...

Oh, and happy birthday, AA!

ranger_lp said...

Why can’t we fucking bunt?

Rufus T. Firefly said...

That's the spliff talking.🙃

ranger_lp said...

Yes Happy B’day AA…

BTR999 said...

Huge failure by Goldschmidt there

TheWinWarblist said...

Advancing the runner with a sacrifice is unheroic!!

Rufus T. Firefly said...

aka Joe Flaherty

ranger_lp said...

Bells comes through…

BTR999 said...

Belli Bomber

TheWinWarblist said...

Or impossible when you have diminishing skills and can no longer hit a RHP. Only a Truly Professional IDIOT won't pinch hit for you.

Hinkey Haines said...

Keep those pineapples on ice for now…

BernBabyBern said...

Cody Bellinger is IIH’s official “Happy Birthday” player (he had 3 HRs on my birthday and the clutch triple on AA’s birthday tonight)

Hinkey Haines said...

Of course, this being the Yankees, Bellinger will probably get caught trying to steal second.

ranger_lp said...

Stanton ruining my parlay…

BTR999 said...

Stanton is now 100% guess hitter. He guessed wrong there

Pocono Steve said...

Could Stanton have had a worse AB?

Carl J. Weitz said...

What was your other leg, Ranger?

Rufus T. Firefly said...

This is fcking torture

DickAllen said...

There’s still plenty of ABs left in him…

Carl J. Weitz said...

Someone get the nylon thread for Hill's arm and shoulder.

ranger_lp said...

This is NOT helping the bullpen budget…

Pocono Steve said...

Win or lose--and it's probably lose--there is just no joy in any of this.

BernBabyBern said...

aka Sammy Maudlin and Floyd Robertson. Flaherty was so great. I loved the old SCTV show.

BernBabyBern said...

Holy shit. Volpe caught the ball. And threw it to the first baseman without bouncing it …. ON THE SAME PLAY!!

Woo-hoo!

Carl J. Weitz said...

The Martian will get doused by the bucket tonight!

ranger_lp said...

Taylor Ward over 0.5 RBIs. Stanton over 1.5 total bases

Carl J. Weitz said...

so much for that prediction

ranger_lp said...

Yankees Win!!!

Pocono Steve said...

Woo hoo, I think.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Wow

Hinkey Haines said...

Never in doubt.

DickAllen said...

That was some game

ranger_lp said...

Instant Yankee Classic…

TheWinWarblist said...

The suckage. The suckage.

HoraceClarke66 said...

You guys brought it home!

HoraceClarke66 said...

Couldn't find where the game was—just streaming?—but when it seemed to go better, I figured I'd better not put it on, even if I could find it.

BTR999 said...

Alright!

Jack Curry is not wearing any pants in the post game show

ranger_lp said...

Wednesdays are always Amazon Prime games…

HoraceClarke66 said...

Okay, just saw the highlights:

—Good to see that Volpe at least seems to have found his balls.
—I know Williams had great success in Milwaukee. But I've said it before and I'll say it again: I don't understand a closer whose big pitch is a change-up. A change-up only works off a great fastball. Which he doesn't have.
—Great catch by The Martian. There is no reason, period, to bench him again this season.
—Saying on the postgame that Wells will "have to answer some questions" about forgetting how many outs there were. Horseshit. Questions, nothing. He should have to answer to his manager's tirade, followed by a hefty fine and a benching. Instead, asked about it at the postgame presser, Boone told the gentlemen of the press: "Whattaya say? Can't happen."

WHATTAYA SAY??? You say it to Wells and Wells alone, sure. But you should say PLENTY.

Kevin said...


A candy-colored clown they call the sandman
Tiptoes to my room every night
Just to sprinkle stardust and to whisper
Go to sleep, everything is alright
I close my eyes then I drift away
Into the magic night, I softly say
A silent prayer like dreamers do
Then I fall asleep to dream my dreams of you
In dreams I walk with you
In dreams I talk to you
In dreams you're mine all of the time
We're together in dreams, in dreams
But just before the dawn
I awake and find you gone
I can't help it
I can't help it
If I cry
I remember that you said goodbye
It's too bad that all these things
Can only happen in my dreams
Only in dreams
In beautiful dreams

And with that it's time for a Pabst Blue Ribbon!

DickAllen said...

Jasson saved the day

Kevin said...

Btw, where is that stable of stud pitchers that The Brain was dreaming of bringing in?

HoraceClarke66 said...

Sorry, Kevin, the Mets scooped them up today. Supposedly two of the best relievers in the game—gone to Flushing, for a whole lotta nothing. Unless you mean all the relievers Cashman was going to sign after the 2023 season? Or was it 2022? The years go by, and the Cashman promises all run together, like a great river to the sea.

JM said...

And Mariners got Suarez. We're in it to not win it.

Kevin said...

So we as Yankees fans are doomed to having our guts eaten by vultures, yet given time in the off-season to heal and have hope. Possibly for Eternity. This then is what Fate has in store for us, a ship.of fools already dead without the realization of our fate. You're right, Horace, I have felt now for sometime now a feeling of dread that seemed a bit overwrought. Now I see how the sailors of the Flying Dutchman are in their eternal anguish. We jumped aboard the ship that the accursed Red Sox sailed, unwittingly with eyes wide shut and took seats next to Bill Lee, Tony C, and a centuries worth of players with the choke gene. There's a signpost up ahead. We have now entered "The Red Sox Zone"...
