Above Average, great idea and photos. What more can be said. I was at a concert and got to watch the travesty on my DVR. Spent Grishom (22.5 million,) Mr. %0-50 Chishom and Austin Smells, cannot hit lefties. Ryan McFan, also has his difficulties. He got to watch the game from the bench.

BTR999 said...

aaaaand another RISP failure from Chisolm

ranger_lp said...

Spencer has to lay off that shit…

JM said...

Ricccccce

ranger_lp said...

Uncle Ben!!!

Pocono Steve said...

Early 1-0 Yankees lead = we lose.

JM said...

Peralta starting to look like Rodon.

BTR999 said...

McMahon looks like he’s doing us a favor by jogging to first.

ranger_lp said...

Jones strikes out on the same fucking pitch…

AboveAverage said...

Elmer………
Dud

ranger_lp said...

Name that Yankee has to be Marv Throneberry…

JM said...

Was he in a Lite beer commercial?

JM said...

Volpe?

Rufus T. Firefly said...

An actual clutch hit?

And his average is over the Mendoza line?

JM said...

Holy shit. He dropped it.

ranger_lp said...

HE DROPPED THE BALL!!!

JM said...

Wtf is going on with Bichette?

Rufus T. Firefly said...

I just got the game back on tv.

That means they'll lose.

Better go do some yard work.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Yankees dodged a bullet in not signing him.

JM said...

Our crack bullpen, at it again.

Or is that smoking crack?

ranger_lp said...

Volpe has had a nice game…

JM said...

Walks. Pitchers get really wild when they get wild.

JM said...

Wells is very bad.

ranger_lp said...

Bednar good for giving up a run or two…

JM said...

Brenda in heart attack form.

JM said...

Vientos swinging wild.

JM said...

Pineapple.

ranger_lp said...

FUCKING BEDNAR

BernBabyBern said...

I miss Mariano Rivera

Pocono Steve said...

Bednar's a worthless piece of shit.

Pocono Steve said...

Now how long will it take the brain trust to figure out that he isn't a closer?

JM said...

Only his second blown save.

BTR999 said...

Are we having fun yet?

JM said...

But too much reliance on off speed stuff for a closer.

BTR999 said...

X inning on road guaranteed loss

AboveAverage said...

A turd in flushing is in the right place

ranger_lp said...

They got to revisit this Bednar thing…

BTR999 said...

OMFG a minor league hitter up

Hinkey Haines said...

Just bring up 4-5 guys from the minors. Can’t be any worse than this shitshow. .

BTR999 said...

He’s not a closer

ranger_lp said...

Bring up Lagrange…

AboveAverage said...

Great Bunting decision there by AI'ron Boone

Scottish Yankee fan said...

Is there any point watching the extra inning we all know what will happen Yankees try to hit a 5 run homer Mets bunt

BTR999 said...

Wells swings at the first fucking pitch, doesn’t give Volpe a chance to run

BernBabyBern said...

Well, that was a brilliant inning.

BTR999 said...

If this team had any balls, Wells would be gone tonight.

JM said...

Wells is very bad.

Pocono Steve said...

I'm not watching, that's for sure. They couldn't even hold any one-run lead they might take.

AboveAverage said...

This just gets better and better the worse it gets !

BTR999 said...

Get it over with

JM said...

Genius defensive formation.

BTR999 said...

And a fitting clown show end

Scottish Yankee fan said...

Laurel and Hardy fielding up the middle there

JM said...

Oh that Volpe. Wiped out his very good night.

JM said...

Very.

AboveAverage said...

Start spreading the news

Scottish Yankee fan said...

Stan and Ollie are funny that wasn't that is the difference

Hinkey Haines said...

Instead of the June Swoon, we get the May Decay.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

We all do.

Carl J. Weitz said...

The Yankees don't have an MLB-ready catcher who can hit at least .210 and not strike out 40% of the time like Wells? There's a reason why Escarra was a truck driver until age 29. This organization is fucking horrible. Cashman is right at the top. Bring up ZZ Top Lagrange already!

BTR999 said...

The team cannot be criticized enough over this loss

13bit said...

Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose...

Rufus T. Firefly said...

A metaphor for the Yankees organization.

Jeez, would be nice to have a serviceable closer, like say one of the guys jettisoned by the Yankees that are on the Mets? Nah!

ANYONE left to pinch hit for Wells? Nah!

Any clue as to what to actually do with 5 infielders? After all that was the brilliant move by the puppet? Nah!

Fuck them all.

Rufus T. Firefly said...

Remember a view short years ago, they were supposed to be overloaded with catchers in the minors?

BTR999 said...

Cashman’s roster construction with a $300M payroll is nothing short of criminal. Yet he has a job for life.

Fuck cashman
Fuck Steinbrenner
Fuck boone

Rufus T. Firefly said...

More keystone kops.

Really not the players fault though, since I'm sure it was never discussed, let alone practiced.

Want to hear something cool? We were on the F train coming into Manhattan a few hours ago when we saw a ballplayer in full uniform sitting on the train. An actual Coney Island Cyclone taking the subway to Coney Island. He was on for two stops before transferring to a Coney Island bound train while we continued into Gotham. His name was Vargas - I believe a shortstop - yes, I looked him up - and he actually got up to give his seat to the mother of a kid wearing a Mets cap. When was the last time you saw an actual pro or semi-pro get on the train to go to a game? I wish the Staten Island Yankees still existed, but they are gone, probably at Hal's directive. The Cyclones are fun, though, and their stadium is small and intime, as we say in gay Paris.

BTR999 said...

boone was gone from the post game presser in about 45 secs. Not sure if YES edited it.

Carl J. Weitz said...

So, in 7 games, the team will hit the 1/3 mark of the season. Between Wells and Escarra, they have a combined 27hits. 27 HITS!!!
Tampa, with 1/3 the Yankees' payroll, complete with no-name players, leads the AL in batting and the East by 3 games. Is there no sense of shame by Cashman, Hal, or anyone in this bloated and inept organization? Too bad this team doesn't play in the Nippon Professional Baseball League, because just maybe these guys would consider Hari-Kari.
