So, we now know that Schlittsky is possibly the equivalent of the Manchurian Candidate and that he may, in fact, have a Musk-installed controller chip in his head that is controlled by a joystick in the Red Sox dugout. Dark times, my friends...

Ceeja said...

Schlittler is an editor's dream. Can you imagine the headlines in the Post if he falls on his face?

AboveAverage said...

Or . . . controlled by Valentine from Kingsman The Secret Service
(look for the scare near his ear on the side of his neck)

Parson Tom said...

I'm hiding under the covers with the pillow over my head. The thought of losing to those guys is revolting, worse than the 5th inning last year.

AboveAverage said...

Make sure there's enough air under there

TheWinWarblist said...

LIES!! ALL LIES!!

13bit said...

or if he walks into a fan...

13bit said...

You keep us all honest, Winnie.

13bit said...

Leave room for the rest of us. We're on the way over.

Local Bargain Jerk said...

It's the bottom of the 2ns oand I have more butterflies in my stomach than the two teenage boys on the mound..

TheWinWarblist said...

Big G? They're calling Giancarlo Big G in the Yankee booth.

BernBabyBern said...

Don't stare at your dame hits, Stanton -- run!

13bit said...

See ya, Rosie! Time to go lie down in the back of the car.

13bit said...

So, what's the prevailing sentiment towards Jazz these days? Can someone tell me how I'm supposed to feel?

13bit said...

I'll tell you what - if these assholes advance to the next round, I say we do a zoom watch party.

Local Bargain Jerk said...

That's a brilliant idea Mr. Bit

Rufus T. Firefly said...

After the earlier conversation about Catwoman, I can understand.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Can we all be drunk?

(rhetorical question, obviously)

Rufus T. Firefly said...

I can't help but think of Cheech and Chong's skit about Basketball Jones: sponsored by budweiser. Just remember when you're out of beer -- tough Schlitz!

13bit said...

Drunk, crazy, screams puking - you name it. Let's dream big dreams. I could totally set up the Zoom part. For this game, though, I recall the words of Colonel Ruppert, Who said something along the lines of "I like it when they score 7 runs early and then slowly pull away." I'm sure that Hoss could correct me, but I feel like I read once that he said that when he was asked his idea of a perfect game.

AboveAverage said...

ZooM pArTy !

Hinkey Haines said...

There’s one.

BernBabyBern said...

These fuckers better hang on to get that Zoom party.

(And Amed Rosario of all people is the guy to drive in the run?)

Hinkey Haines said...

There’s another one.

BernBabyBern said...

Wait a minute ... the Yankees had the bases loaded ... and DIDN'T hit a weak pop-up? What the hell is going on here?

13bit said...

Sweet Jesus...

13bit said...

We need 10 more runs

Hinkey Haines said...

Is Aaron Judge finally gonna have a post-season moment?

Pocono Steve said...

Typical station-to-station Yankee offense right there!

Hinkey Haines said...

Need a quick shutdown inning & then another crooked number.

TheWinWarblist said...

Do not believe what you are seeing. Do not.

Hinkey Haines said...

Not quite quick but … another zero.

Hinkey Haines said...

Way to go Jazz. C’mon.

AboveAverage said...

Six - one for each finger

Hinkey Haines said...

Steal second, Jazz. Now.

BernBabyBern said...

The little info boxes on Schlitter says he's throwing a 100-mph sinker.

I mean ... what???

Hinkey Haines said...

I think I’m in love.

TheWinWarblist said...

Criminy. Schlittler is dealing.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

That is some tough schlitz

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Trust me, just lust.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Blotter?

TheWinWarblist said...

11 K no runs through 7. The bullpen has got their work cut out for them if their gonna blow this game. But I have faith.

ranger_lp said...

I love the Jomboy reference…

13bit said...

It's really never over until it's over with these guys.

Pocono Steve said...

Judge just doesn't playoff, does he?

13bit said...

I love Judge, but he needs either a shrink or an exorcist. One good hit could cure him, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

ranger_lp said...

We actually developed a pitcher…

Hinkey Haines said...

WOW

Joe of AZ said...

Bruh Did Aaron Boone's body get taken over by the ghost of Joe Torre what is THIS going with his gut

BTR999 said...

Mc-Man!

BernBabyBern said...

Ryan Fucking McMahon!!!!

TheWinWarblist said...

I will not believe. I will not believe. IwillnotbelieveIwillnotbelieveIwillnotbelieveIwillnotbelieveIwillnotbelieveIwillnotbelieve ...

Mildred Lopez said...

Boone gettin' ready to fuck this up! Leave the man in.

BernBabyBern said...

If they throw Luke Weaver out there in the ninth I will throw a brick through my TV ....

13bit said...

We need to leave Shlitz in.

BTR999 said...

Schlit-Faced

13bit said...

please god let Chapo crapo the bed

13bit said...

We need some insurance runs.

BTR999 said...

Looked like he was done

Doug K. said...

Boone should let Cole pitch the 9th

13bit said...

sigh

Hinkey Haines said...

Unless they score 52 runs this inning, it’ll be Bednar.

13bit said...

Remember what it was like when we had Mariano? I know you do...

ranger_lp said...

Not out of the woods yet…

BernBabyBern said...

You'd think -- but remember it's Boone in our dugout, so ........

TheWinWarblist said...

The Panamanian Destructicon.

13bit said...

Can someone tell me how many pitches Shlitz had? Was it under 120? How many ways can I hate Boone anew?

TheWinWarblist said...

Walks the lead off hitter.

TheWinWarblist said...

108 pitches.

BTR999 said...

One more

13bit said...

HOLY SHIT
Next game, we zoom...

TheWinWarblist said...

The UH UH UH UH UH ... ?????

ranger_lp said...

Yankees Win!!!

TheWinWarblist said...

THE-UH-UH-UH-UH AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YANKEES WINNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hinkey Haines said...

2 down, 11 to go.

TheWinWarblist said...

ZZZZZZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BTR999 said...

Holy Schlit!

13bit said...

I'm going to go and meditate on life and try to enjoy this moment. As we said in Olde Yonkers, where i great up - EAT SHIT AND DIE, RED SOX...

Pocono Steve said...

Woo hoo!

Rufus T. Firefly said...

I predicted Yankees in 2.

Just wasn't the first 2.

BernBabyBern said...

You know, there's nothing quite like ending the Red Sox season.

And Cam Schlittler might just have become a star.

BernBabyBern said...

NY Post headline tomorrow?

Doug K. said...

Great win!!!!!

DickAllen said...

Miraculous game by the kid

Rufus T. Firefly said...

From the interwebs:

"On July 2nd, Cam Schlittler gave up 7 runs in 2 1/3 innings against the Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs. Life comes at you pretty fast."

DickAllen said...

That was one ace performance

Publius said...

Incredible.

BernBabyBern said...

I envy the people in the stands right now. As someone who was at game 6 of the 2009 ALCS, I can say that there are few places as fun to be at than Yankee Stadium after winning a clincher. EVERYONE sings along with Sinatra, and high-fives everyone within their field of vision. I high-fived so many people my hand was sore, and it was great.

BTR999 said...

Katie Sharp:

Cam Schlitter is the 1st pitcher in MLB history with 8+ IP, 12+ K, 0 R and 0 BB in any Postseason game.

AboveAverage said...

And who’s the best managers in baseball ?

Parson Tom said...

Joe of AZ said...

Aaron Fuckin Boone....jk 😂

TheWinWarblist said...

AAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

13bit said...

Shlitz became a Yankee tonight. I'm happy for the guy. Can we put Boone in a sealed Airstream for the next few weeks?

TheWinWarblist said...

Number 31. Cam (Cammm) Schlittler (Schlittleerrr).

AboveAverage said...

Yes please

Ken of Brooklyn said...

How sweet it is, All Hail King Schlittler!

TheWinWarblist said...

What was Cam's game score?

AboveAverage said...

Cam famously is a CAT owner
