And it's martini night. No schlitz for me.

AboveAverage said...

I’ll take one please

Rufus T. Firefly said...

I'll remind you that delivery charges are enormous, so you'll have to come pick it up.

AboveAverage said...

Fair enough….just provide the proper coordinates, Mr Rufus, Sir.

Carl J. Weitz said...

Martinis for me as well. Extra dry with olives and a twist. I hear Cashman drinks martinis, too. But instead of olives, he uses Hal's balls. It's his version of a dirty martini.

Carl,

I DO NOT AND WILL NOT drink one of those martinis.

Sterling does not like the first inning

I bring some good news from Syracuse. Spencer Jones bashed a home run for the RailRiders.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

The chiefs look good this year. They play hard nosed hockey.

Jones just needs a few more years of seasoning, while they break his spirits, then either call him up to be a platoon player, or trade him for a middle reliever with a 6.50 era who walks a lot of guys.

Vodka Martini with Vermouth and Olives…

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Hendrick went to the jizz school of game awareness. Looking to throw home with 2 outs, no force out, and easy throw to first.

Wells bailed him out. Runner probably would have been safe at home.

Great coaching, ANALists!

I bring some bad news from the Bronx. Grisham is still batting leadoff in spite of his .145 BA

AboveAverage said...

The Martini just arrived Rufus.

Nicely shaken.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

A year ago we switched to grey goose because the gin had been knocking us on our old asses.

Tonight is our last Friday of the season on the extreme left coast and we're reverting to Bombay sapphire, for a special limited, return engagement.

Wish us luck and thank yahweh for uber.

Ever notice he is a Lionel Ritchie look-alike?

Doval is a piece of shit…

Apologize to pieces of shit, sir!

DFA him already.

Carl J. Weitz said...

A big one! Another inoportune turd served up by a great deadline deal from the dirty martini drinker.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Gee, is. There anyone else that they could play in center?

Scottish Yankee fan said...

Doval is indeed a dumpling but he

A. Didn't trade for himself

B. Keep putting himself in to pitch the 8th innings in a close game

PIGS ARE FLYING.

ranger_lp said...

McMahon? Really?

AboveAverage said...

Boone is a Genius !

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Now we will never see ed McMahon benched.

Carl J. Weitz said...

They should make a movie about McMahon's homer and call it " The Day The Earth Stood Still." Klaatu Barada Niktu!

Pocono Steve said...

Bednar is the opposite of the Sandman. He doesn't want anyone going to bed, so he refuses to close games out. More like Bednot or Bed? Nah!

Pocono Steve said...

Never mind, then. Woo hoo!

ranger_lp said...

Yankees Win!!!

Rufus T. Firefly said...

A win is a win.

Boone is an idiot.
Ca$hole is scum.
HAL is a spoiled rich kid and that his good points.

Martinis help numb the numbskull pain
