The celebration are out of hand (even though the Washington one is pretty funny). <br /><br />I think what gets me most is how these guys all do the same celebration no matter what's going on in the game.<br /><br />Down 10-0, ninth inning, someone hits a solo home run? He still runs around the bases pointing with his forefinger. You're number 1? In what? What does that mean?

Also, how about having a mix of both HRs and singles? And how about putting a line-up out there that's not a collection of glorified wind machines?!<br /><br />Last night's game made me angry because our analytical approach (Ks don't matter!) will never win us a WS.

Fun as hell to write.<br /><br />and now Happy Yankee Thought #4 <br /><br />And no, it's not that Joey Binders is the Philly manager now. As a side note: Harpy? Brycey?

Suck on it, Jose." <br /><br />While it is far from over... <br /><br />I still remember being out to dinner when the TV in bar gave Florida to Gore and, in terms of baseball when we lost Games One and Two to Atlanta at the Stadium. Not to mention that past results are not a guarantee of future earnings. <br /><br />But... <br /><br />At my rapidly advancing age I have learned to take joy where I can find it. Watching them get pummeled, watching the growing despair on the faces of the Houston fans, as the Nationals did their overly choreographed celebration dances. <br /><br />As a side note: Seriously, this needs to stop. It's getting WAY too over the top. I kept expecting to read that June Taylor was hired as a dancing coach for the Marlins. She came cheap because she's dead. I hear Gene Gene "The Dancing Machine" just interviewed with the Angles. (Because he's dead too.) I think. <br /><br />Where was I? Oh yeah, schadenfreude.

Two things:
—No...Great analysis Duque, and Bitty.<br /><br />Two things:<br /><br />—No. 13 is a classic way to lie with statistics. Sure, teams that hit home runs do well in the postseason...because who doesn't hit home runs these days? Statistically, there is really little difference between the Yanks' 306 and the Astros' 288. Or the Nats' 231, in a league where the pitchers still bat.<br /><br />ALSO, once you ring up a bunch of singles and doubles, you'll usually hit more home runs because a) pitchers are always having to pitch with men on base and b) pitchers know they can't get you to swing from the heels at pitches hopelessly out of the strike zone, so they'll be forced to come across more often.<br /><br />—Bitty, I completely agree with you on the pitching. Though it also strikes me that we lost the ALCS because of how completely undisciplined our hitting was. And, yes, not to mention playing it with a handicap, stuffing about 1/6 of our roster with guys who could not play or pitchers who would only pitch in case of a blowout. Ridiculous.<br /><br />But you're right, Bitty: we're no longer THE YANKEES. Sigh.HoraceClarke66https://www.blogger.com/profile/16965472730239358589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-48643075049824789222019-10-24T10:53:08.627-04:002019-10-24T10:53:08.627-04:00OH HOW I WOULD LOVE FOR TRUMP TO BUY THE YANKEES.

I hop...I'm happy the Nats are winning - so far. I hope they bury the Astros, but we have to take this a day at a time.<br /><br />MY reaction? In addition to the happiness mentioned in the previous sentence, I'll add this:<br /><br />1. Both teams have good pitching. It makes a difference. Our pitching was dogshit - aside from Tanaka, and Paxton doesn't count for me - and it showed. Over and over, I think "if we had only gotten some pitching when we had the chance, as EVERY LAST PERSON ON THIS BLOG WANTED AT THE TIME. So, there's that...<br /><br />2. The Yankees are no longer the "Yankees." It feels a bit like the Yankees of my youth, in the mid to late 60s, but we have far stronger ghosts then. These guys seem like lightweights, led by a lightweight coach, and run by a hollow-headed GM. Compared to the Astros and Nats, we don't have as much - to use a word that Dick(head) Cheney loved to drop - "gravitas." The young guys gave me hope this year. That was taken away when, with a drumroll, the Yankees brought the Big Guns and the veterans back from the I.L. in September to the Church of the Highly Paid. We promptly started tanking, losing home field advantage, getting listless, losing our fire, edge and desire. That, combined with shitty pitching, was the end of us.<br /><br />3. I pray every moment for El Chapo to opt out and for us to let him. He probably won't and, despite Cashman's occasional good pickups - Hi, DJ! - the team carries FAR more dead shit weight than it can sustain due to his AWFUL acquisitions. Chap is one of them. I frankly don't care any more if Didi returns. I'd like to see Betances get another shot, but Randy so thoroughly shat on and humiliated him that I would be surprised to see him not pursue another team. The Yankees now are guilty of the worst trope - we are arrogant with no just cause for arrogant. Empty bluster and bullshit.<br /><br />4. Numbers 7, 8 and 12 - all a hearty "YES."<br /><br />5. Speaking of YES, they will always peddle bullshit. It's in their articles of incorporation.<br /><br />6. The cigar-shaped UFOs are actually avatars of A-Rod's shlong, holographically projected to remind us of his mighty presence.<br /><br />7. In truth, watching these games makes me think of everything we all discussed ad-nauseum all year and confirmed the essential truth of what we thought - not nearly enough pitching, bad coaching, bad managing, and bed front office. These two games have only strengthened my opinions on that.13bithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02704750226699235013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-13948170566990213032019-10-24T09:50:17.483-04:002019-10-24T09:50:17.483-04:00Yes, the Nats have amazing starting pitching that ...Yes, the Nats have amazing starting pitching that doesn't fold in the 2nd-3rd inning.

Probably because the Astros faced the Yanks about a dozen times this year and learned how to beat them. I don't think they ever faced the Nats or certainly not enough to know how to beat them. Either way, I've not been watching the WS. Don't care about either team enough to watch. But I am glad the Astros is loosing. I so wanted the Sux to loose last year in the same fashion. <br /><br />I'm personally already sick about the media trying to drum up hype about the Yanks off season. Getting this player, loosing that player. It's not even a week and I'm already tired of it all because it's all such meaningless babble. And we still have months of inactivity and the constant daily nothing articles to sit though. A rough winter ahead.Vampifellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02082319225683920606noreply@blogger.com
