Seven magical ...LBJ, I was at that game, of course. Seven magical Yankees wins over the Sox that month, and I had tickets for the one loss.<br /><br />It happened the year before, too. Sizzling, 4-2 and 2-0 wins at the Stadium, with Reggie not only homering but making a great catch...and I went to the Torrez blowout the next night. Sigh.<br /><br />Joe FOB, yeah, I was fooled by this team, too—and I, too, still love the distraction it provides.<br /><br />The thing with Gardy? He has really, ALWAYS been a fourth outfielder, due to his inability to last a whole year. He often gets hurt in the second half, and no matter what, his numbers plunge. Here they are lifetime:<br /><br />First half: .274/.356/.415/.771<br />Second half: .245/.333/.358/.690<br /><br />Any reasonably bright front office would have noticed this years ago and accepted Gardy for what he is: a dynamite fourth outfielder or maybe platoon player.<br /><br />Not the Yankees. They must go on doing the exact same thing in the same way, and expecting different results.HoraceClarke66https://www.blogger.com/profile/16965472730239358589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-16210517538119382302018-08-05T10:43:06.314-04:002018-08-05T10:43:06.314-04:00...one crowning defeat may be awaiting us tonight:...<br><i>...one crowning defeat may be awaiting us tonight: The winnable game blown in the ninth.</i><br /><br />I don't know. We might be more like the 1978 Red Sox who, upon being pounded in the 4-game "Boston Massacre", and then the first two of their final 3-game series with the Yanks, came back and won the last game, 7-3. I.e., after they'd had the shit kicked out of them by a better team, they came roaring back and played like world-beaters when it no longer mattered. That's almost more embarrassing.<br /><br />Regardless of tonight's outcome, we've got issues my friends.<br><br>Local Bargain Jerkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11777702960645118146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-8736027519499929972018-08-05T08:05:16.080-04:002018-08-05T08:05:16.080-04:00I'm not optimistic, not generally -- 3 of my 4...<br />I'm not optimistic, not generally -- 3 of my 4 grandparents were Sicilian, and those folks just did not believe the Sun would actually rise the next day. <br /><br />But I do try to learn from Life, even Baseball -- which can be an enjoyable, it-don't-matter, gimme-another-beer part of Life.<br /><br />Things I've learned -- I think -- since just b4 the All-Star break, thsnks to the Yankees, include:<br /><br />1 -- my assessment of the 2018 team was in error. They really were NOT that good, except for a very short time. I was wrong, big-time. Thank the goddess Fortuna that I don't bet basebsll!<br /><br />2 -- I thought they had enough pitching. I really did. Well, they didn't. Maybe they will when they have Justus + Chance as starters.....or maybe one or both of them will blow out their arms in 2019 (see what I mean about that Sicilian thing?). <br /><br />3 -- I like a lot of the players on the current team (including Gardy, Didi, Miggy, and Gleyber). I enjoy it when they succeed! BUT: There is a difference between my reasons for liking them and their relative performance (relative to the rest of the league). I don't think Didi is the long-term solution at SS (maybe Gleyber is?). I really hope the team doesn't offer Gardy a 2019 contract, as much as I like him. <br /><br />4 -- I didn't think GSanchez would be a superstar. I thought he would be at least Above Adequate. Even eliminating the recent injury/lack-of-hustle/whatever-it-was, and even if he's NOT a headcase......he's had a really bad year. In his favor: All of that BS about the fact that Sonny Gray couldn't throw to him seems like a heaping helping of dung, don't it? Did that dung emanate from Larry R? <br /><br />5 -- I didn't remember the thing about Injuries. We could use Montgomery right now, couldn't we? NOT AN EXCUSE. Just another reminder that you can't ever have enough pitching. Or anything else -- as in,, keep Red Thunder away from walls in the future, please. <br /><br />All of this, you'll notice, does not reference Cashmoney or Ma Boone. All of the above are my problems. <br /><br />Among my other problems: I really enjoy Yankees basebsll as a distraction. I have not paid attention to "the news" (fake or otherwise) since Spring Training -- I've been on this site, and tried to keep up with newspaper reports on the team via the Internet. I'm not a footbsll fan; haven't rooted for the Knicks since Pat Riley became coach; and while I once actually worked as a sportswriter covering minor-league hockey games, I can't stand the sport. <br /><br />On the other hand, I do like women's gymnastics......Joe Formerlyof Brooklynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16970448525840486063noreply@blogger.com
