The exploding bullpen. Three LH catchers. The rise of Grisham. The fall of Volpe. The voice of the Yankees, David Sims. Another great - but wasted? - season for Aaron Judge. Another lost year for The Martian...
We could go on. Let's not. Life is too short. That's Chinatown, Jake. That's baseball, Suzyn.
After tonight, it's the season of whatabouts.
Whatabout Jazz? Whatabout Stanton? Whatabout Cole, Trump's ballroom, Katy Perry, the oceanic UAPs, the looming storms... whataboutchermama?
After tonight, baseball belongs to the Dodgers' checkbook or Canadian pride.
After tonight, the looming question of NYC becomes whether Trump will invade or just cut the food supplies - where's Snake Plisken? - if Mamdani, a Mets fan, wins.
After tonight, we return to the sad, tiresome continuum of watching Brian Cashman remake the roster, via an algorithm.
After tonight No... wait... today... it's November, the month of bacon fat skies and cold rain. Never does opening day feel farther away.

All the leaves are brown, and the sky is gray.
Stanton and Judge are ours forever. Volpe will return. Jazz and Grish, probably not. Cole will not be the Cole that used to be. Spencer and Jasson and JT will continue to wilt, then rot, on the vine.
I do not recognize the bullpen at all anymore. Luke was the thread I could follow, but he's likely heading elsewhere. Cole, Fried, Gil, Schlittler, and Warren...maybe. It might work. Rodon should be sent to more hospitable climes.
Remember the 2008-9 offseason? I wonder if the ever more loudly clamoring by the fans and a sliver of the press will lead to Hal and Cashman opening the vault and signing some big names, so we have a real chance of winning it all in 2026. After eight seasons of ringlessness from 2001-8, I think they were a little embarrassed. Now, it's been, what, 16?
Can they still be embarrassed, or has that ship sailed after all these years? They sure don't seem to care. It's all about the Benjamins. And I don't mean Rice.
Riddle me this, true believers.
When is the off season in season ?
Stunning to watch the BJs kick away that 9th inning last night. All they needed was the situational hitting to score two runs by making good outs. Instead, they looked just like the Yankees, popping the ball up and running the bases like drunken sailors.
No one ?
Ok…..
When it’s the Yankees’ season.
That Yamamoto sure is going to go places
Hoss, I'ze thinking that they should get Ernie Clement to be the 3B for the next ten years. He'll come here and hit .220 and, yes, pop up on the first pitch with the bags jammed. Perfect Yankee hitter! Dr. Frankensteen couldn't manufacture a more perfect Yankee stiff!
AA, HAL & Brain Dead Cashman should've made a humungous offer to Yamamoto, even if the Japanese battleship was secretly going to sign with the pickpockets. At least drive up their price to sign him by another 150 million.
All of a sudden, Dumbbell Dave Roberts can do no wrong, eh? I thought for sure that the ceiling was going to collapse when he took out Roki Sasaki and brought in Tyler Glasnow. Something like TWO FUCKING PITCHES and he gets 3 outs! I can only shake my head. The fucking Artful Dodgers seem to live charmed lives. When they finish off the Blow Jobs tonight, Dodgers will star in their own goddamned fairy tale.
Everybody knows the Dodgers buy their championships. Big deal.
(I just wanted to know what it feels like to say that. It's not exactly satisfying.)
Did the Blow Jobs get robbed last night in the 9th inning on that ball in the wall play? Ball lodges at the bottom of the wall, although probably not really stuck. Dodger CF stands pointing at it, (just like Knoblauch, and little bit like Gerrit Cole), Blow Jobs are running around the bases, and the umpires recall everybody by calling it a ground rule double. So 2nd and 3rd, instead of a run in and man on third.
I'm thinking the Yankees have got robbed on many a play like that. Both ways. As the batting team and as the defending team. If the Yankees had been defending last night, for instance, I'm thinking the umps would've said the runner from 1st scores because it's in their discretion to send him home, since "he would have scored anyway". And the ball was not really stuck in the wall. Dodger outfielder had no trouble picking it up afterwards.
Once again, Dodgers getting help from the umpires.
Yeah, if they win tonight, they'll have bought two in a row. Fucking bastards!
You've got to pick a pocket or two!
Why should we break our backs
Stupidly paying tax?
Better get some untaxed income
Better to pick-a-pocket or two.
Robin Hood, what a crook!
Gave away, what he took.
Charity's fine, subscribe to mine.
Get out and pick-a-pocket or two
Take a tip from Bill Sikes
He can whip what he likes.
I recall, he started small
He had to pick-a-pocket or two.
