Aaron Boone, aka "Hairy Bone" in the Corsican underworld, plots his batting order in silence. "Brains" Cashman sent him his marching orders, but Bone has decided that enough is enough. HE is going to call the shots from now on. He will show Brains who's who.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

I seem to recall an actor named Hairy Bone in a movie called "Caligula's Bacchanalia 6". It was popular in Cannes in the 70s. Not at the movie festival. Just in the alley off the main drag that had all the wares on display after dark.

Or so a friend tells me.

Pocono Steve said...

Williams is such an asshole.

Kevin said...

Fucking Williams in a close game. Boone is a stubborn man.

AboveAverage said...

Stubbornness implies a certain base line level of intelligence that our manager may not pO . . . .

Nevermind

AboveAverage said...

That was sure a mouthful . . .

ranger_lp said...

@Kevin…Cashman is making those decisions…Boone is just the Press Secretary…

ranger_lp said...

Was that a bunt?

Pocono Steve said...

FFS

ranger_lp said...

I hate this running on contact bullshit…

Kevin said...

Yep

Kevin said...

Has there ever been a more mindless base runner uh, uh since Gleybor than Wells? Totally incapable of corrective action.

Kevin said...

WOW!

AboveAverage said...

Nice half of an inning there

Kevin said...

Especially when you don't have too!

Kevin said...

Holy frijole!

AboveAverage said...

Manager of the YEAR !

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Okay, can they hold the lead?

Pocono Steve said...

Three runs, alas, will not be enough.

Kevin said...

Am I in bed and dreaming
Or is The Brain really scheming
To take my Friday joy away?

Pocono Steve said...

Doval's refrain: "I'm getting closer to Clay Holmes."

Rufus T. Firefly said...

(that's what she said)
Ba-Da-Boom

Sammy, get Dino a drink!

AboveAverage said...

Just win, Baby!

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Dear Mr. Fantasy, send me a manager....

...and a general manager.
...and a new owner.

AboveAverage said...

WooT WooT

Yankees Win!!!

Hinkey Haines said...

That was a big Yankee win.

Pocono Steve said...

Woo hoo!

Kevin said...

LMAO!

Kevin said...

Rufus, well played! This blog knows its classic music!

Rufus T. Firefly said...

I think the Yankees, um, well...

Beat a bad team, um, er, sorta...
like needed, um, extra, ya know innings. 'cause, ya know, it's all, ya know, right in front of the back.

Kevin said...

I'm really starting to dislike Mr. Doval. This would have been a really miserable game to have lost. But the lads are starting to show that they just might want this THANG.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

...goin' down the road, feellin' mad!

BTR999 said...

I’m old enough to remember when the sox were called the Pale Hose…you know they’re bad when they can’t beat the Yankees in x innings in their own park!

But anyway:
⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️

AboveAverage said...

I’m old enough not to remember much

Hinkey Haines said...

I’m old enough to remember when the owner cared, the GM & scouts recognized talent, the manager understood the game & the Yankees played in a stadium that wasn’t a corporate mausoleum.

AboveAverage said...

I’m old enough to remember EVERYTHING

AboveAverage said...

Oh boy - comments have stopped

Boone licks the Analytics Putz Yankee organization ass very deep. I would tell them to fire me. I am doing it my way. However, he does get outmanaged too often.
