No deals, no peace!!!
They want us to shut up down here, in the bottom of the ship, in steerage, in the 4th Class Fecal Rat suits? They want us to shut up on this noble blog? They had better the fuck DO something - spend money, make a good decision for a change, hire someone who is NOT an imbecile. THEN, and only then will be shut up. Can we call a snap election and vote Hal off the ship? Fuck. We doomed.
Breath in
Breath out
Breath in
Breath out
Breath in
Now hold that breath in
Close your eyes and
Visualize a better Yankees team
A Yankees team
Of your dreams
Continue to hold in that breath
And with your eyes still closed
Slowly smile and
Wish away everything that keeps
Your Dream Yankees team from
Becoming Real
Now on three, open your eyes and
Exhale
One
hurtling downwards through the chasm, upside down, arms flailing, a soundless scream....every day I wake up to the same Yankee team...
Duque's entire list is bad news. Except 2. 2 is good news. You never know, it might even get better.
Miggy still available:
"Andujar hit .318 with a .470 slugging percentage. He did that in just 94 games. He missed over a month due to an oblique strain.
"Andujar destroyed southpaws in 2025. He posted a .389/.409/.578 line against them. His wRC+ against lefties was a staggering 171."

1. No Carlos Rodon until May. (We'll live.)
2. No Anthony Volpe until June. (Good.)
3. No Gerrit Cole until July. (and he will be marginal at best.)
4. No Devin Williams and Luke Weaver. Period. (Good and meh)
5. No replacements for Devin Williams and Luke Weaver. (Therein lies the rub.)
6. The ghost of Paul Goldschmidt is wandering Earth. (The Flailing Dutchman)
7. Clarke Schmidt might return in September. (Probably October where he can be brought into a tie playoff game with the bases loaded and facing the opponents best hitter and throw his first pitch of the year. Nah! That will never happen. I mean what kind of idiot manager would do something like that?)
8. To round out the rotation, we have David Weathers' kid and a Rule 5 pitcher. (It is balloon! )
9. Everybody is a year older. (And 15 members of our 40-man roster are over 30.) Worse than that, WE are a year older!
10. Greenland hates us. Leif Erikson was a wuss.
11. Canada hates us. Tim Horton was a wuss.
12. Europe, Venezuela - hell - everybody hates us. (Everybody hated Chris and he turned out OK)
13. Except for Putin. He loves us. (Uh oh!)
14. The Giants have a new head coach. (This is good.)
15. Aaron Boone likes what he sees. (Aaron Boone is a wuss.)
Yeah! What about that. Bring back Miggy Two-Bags!
Ofcourse Boone likes what he sees. He would stand outside a burning building and like what he sees.
Three
This just in from the Glass Half-Full Dept.: the Jets.
Am I right??? If not them...the Nets.
Remember: in Loser City, things can ALWAYS be worse.

Yankees Trade for Reliever Angel Chivilli from Rockies
Last updated
42 minutes ago
New York acquired 23-year-old Angel Chivilli from Colorado in exchange for minor league first baseman T.J. Rumfield, a swap of a blocked prospect for raw pitching talent. Chivilli posted a 7.06 ERA last season but brings elite velocity—a 97.1 mph fastball and 90 mph slider—plus a strong winter ball showing with a 0.96 ERA. Rumfield, the Yankees' No. 22 prospect, heads to Coors Field where his power-hitting could shine. Fans shared mixed views, with some excited about the stuff and others wary of the surface numbers.
Relativism will get you nowhere - unless, of course, you look at something else...
May I be the first to say FUCK ELITE VELOCITY and don't even talk to me until your ERA goes below 3.0. What a mountain of stinking horse shit. ELITE VELOCITY. The game has turned into an elite shithole.
Pitch speed and bat speed.
Shaking-my-head emoji.
Well, the good news is that poor Rumfield can finally get his shot.
The bad news is that, yes, obviously Chivilli is just one more magic bean. To echo Bitty, fuck your elite velocity. What that, his stats, and his age mean is that Colorado just could not get him to harness his talent, and finally gave up on him.
The hope here is the 1-in-a-thousand chance that the Yanks can finally do so...
