Actually, it is.

Publius said...

These Yankees don't just lose. They figure out new and exciting ways, year after year, to be humiliated. It's remarkable.

Doug K. said...

I'm hoping that next year Volpe and Boone are together on another team. Also, Bring Michael King home.

Doug K. said...

Also, Jazz really needs to go. Wells ability to frame pitches becomes moot next year and Bellinger not being agressive in left tells me he can go too.

13bit said...

The baseball gods want us to suffer.

Doug K. said...

Volpe's strikeout rate in the playoff is over 50%. Can we stop now?

13bit said...

Volpe is the hill that Cashman has chosen to die on. I'll never understand the loyalty in that relationship.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Duque, wake up!

DUQUE, WAKE UP!

mik said...

Cashman said about Volpe. “I think he’s a good player. I think he’s got a lot of abilities that are positive."

Doug K. said...

oh look it's Aaron Judge in a big moment. I wonder how this will go?

HoraceClarke66 said...

Amazing how bad the bottom of our order is. Fluharty was in there throwing basically the same, 91-mph pitch every time, and we could not hit him. Got a break with their error, though—which Judge is about to give back.

HoraceClarke66 said...

Nice that went foul. It had 5-4-3 DP written all over it.

Doug K. said...

so DP?

Doug K. said...

:)

Hinkey Haines said...

It … happened!

Doug K. said...

Reverse JUJU baby!

AboveAverage said...

Yes!

ranger_lp said...

Who would have thunk that?

BTR999 said...

Christ in a sidecar, didja see that blast!

BernBabyBern said...

Uh ... you might want to wake up now.

13bit said...

The gods want us to suffer. We are being fed before being led to the slaughter.

HoraceClarke66 said...

Wow. Thought it had to be foul.

HoraceClarke66 said...

And we're only through four.

Hinkey Haines said...

Maybe Judge IS ready to put them on his back. Doing it in the field, too.

13bit said...

How do we get to the finish line vis-a-vis, uh, you know...the bullpen?

Doug K. said...

At least Judge is redeeming himself both at bat and in the field. Good. He's a fine person and a great ballplayer. Next is he has to inspire them to shake off the Boone cobwebs and kick some butt.

AboveAverage said...

Awesomeness

13bit said...

We need 12 more outs.

13bit said...

and more if we don't score a run.

HoraceClarke66 said...

All right, gonna try to stick here, now. We got two threads going. And...

HoraceClarke66 said...

I sense a UVM approaching.

Hinkey Haines said...

Well.

HoraceClarke66 said...

Oops. It was an UCM, instead. My bad.

AboveAverage said...

Jazz E.D. Magic !

BTR999 said...

A shot of Jism

Doug K. said...

I guess Jazz woke up

BernBabyBern said...

And so we have a ballgame ....

13bit said...

The Master might say, "ALL THAT JAZZZZZZZ"

Doctor T said...

Who lit the fire under these guys? I see why you switched threads. This is a different ballgame.

13bit said...

NOW we need lockdown pitching and 12 outs of it. This has been my worry all year.

13bit said...

meh...

BTR999 said...

This just in: Volpe still can’t hit.

AboveAverage said...

Imagine if we had a …

CHALLENGE LEFT !

Hinkey Haines said...

So THAT was the solution all along? New threads when the score is upside down?

Doug K. said...

what we need is six more runs

13bit said...

Yep. Exactamundo.

Hinkey Haines said...

There’s one.

13bit said...

Sweet Jesus

AboveAverage said...

Please o Please

13bit said...

Williams??

HoraceClarke66 said...

Yeah, I thought I sensed an Unexpected Volpe Moment coming on. But it was just a burp.

HoraceClarke66 said...

Well, we knew we had to see this inning...

HoraceClarke66 said...

Yeah, you know everything's going all right when that didn't go sideways.

HoraceClarke66 said...

Or that.

13bit said...

I'm hiding in the closet under some boxes

13bit said...

Wow

AboveAverage said...

We should score some more, uh, like you know…. RUNS !

Doctor T said...

I think that's how we fool the Ju-Ju gods. Leave the bar and go to another thread.

HoraceClarke66 said...

Or that. Glad to see—but I don't want that guy back next year. Who for the 8th? And where can we purchase 6 more runs?

AboveAverage said...

Think Weaver is coming in for the eight ?

AboveAverage said...

I know a guy …

HoraceClarke66 said...

I mean, better than Weaver. But this is pushing it.

Doug K. said...

uh oh. Williams for more than one inning

HoraceClarke66 said...

Oh, John Smoltz sounds like he's going to cry.

Doug K. said...

maybe it's just one batter

Doug K. said...

He needs to get aDP

Doug K. said...

fucking williams

13bit said...

Get him out

13bit said...

Of the game

HoraceClarke66 said...

Key out.

Hinkey Haines said...

Good comeback in that AB. Thought he was going to create a shitstorm.

13bit said...

Should have gotten a run out of that.

HoraceClarke66 said...

Yep. Stanton should not have been first-pitch swinging. But now we need to hold.

HoraceClarke66 said...

Nice. But scaring the hell out of me with some of these...

HoraceClarke66 said...

Thank you, Mr. Umpire. Nice make-up.

Hinkey Haines said...

Stop overthrowing.

HoraceClarke66 said...

Don't walk this fucker

AboveAverage said...

YESSSSSSSSSSS !

Hinkey Haines said...

Nice. Very very nice.

13bit said...

The House of Pain remains open..,

ranger_lp said...

Yankees Win!!!

HoraceClarke66 said...

Nice. Far from out of the woods. But...thuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhuuuuhhhhh...

Ken of Brooklyn said...

Thhuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!! FINALLY

Hinkey Haines said...

Mystique & Aura were in the Stadium tonight.

BernBabyBern said...

"At this performance, the role of Jim Leyritz will be played by Aaron Judge"

Hinkey Haines said...

Good one.

13bit said...

Yes

AboveAverage said...

Now Kirk should insult Schlittler’s Massachusetts family.

Just to get him iced up .
