Another big game. Rooting hard for The Big Fella.
Never mind the boids:
Let’s Go Yankees
Picture by Philipp Banken.
This is where CC has to step up and gut it out.
Come on big man. Do it for Tex, do it for Eovaldi, do it for Gardy, do it for Scooter. (You have to throw Rizutto in there, as he has the perfect "do it for" name.)
Let's take the skin boat to tuna town, and knock those O's d..ks in the dirt?
Whose with me?
Nice hands, Drew.
If Drew can't field what good is he. With the shift he can't get hit unless he hits it out.
Just let the dogs out and come back and we're down a run already?
Carlos! Makes up for the top of the inning
Nice.
Damn. Sweet catch.
CC at 91. Is that enough?
Good steal, me.
Carlos again!
The anti-shutdown inning?
Phew
Didi dazzles. Zip!
Papi homers 4-0
Short bottom. Rats.
Warren up? Hmmm
He really doesnt't have much.
Short leash
Oh for fuck's sake
OH, GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!
Give both those fucking clowns an error. Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
So drew goes even more negative WAR. I was starting to think he had something to offer. I can't imagine him in pinstripes next year.
Know how the Sox refer to bucky effing dent? We have Steven effing Drew. Am I overboard on this? Especially with the Sox beating the Jays now.
[23] I want to take him into the woods, leaving only a trail of bread crumbs.
No Refsnyder?
Steven Drew having a nightmare. Us too. The only thing that can be said is that he has been responsible for a few comeback wins that if didn't happen would have possibly buried the Yankees.
The team must pick it up, and win this game.
Oh why did Cano opt for oblivian and mediocrity? Whatever the Mariners paid him over the Yankees offer, he would have doubled it staying in NY with endorsements. He would have been the #1 face nationally in the Latin market, and probably #1 in NY overall.
He used to be considered as one of the best position players in the game. Anyone talking about him now?
[26] Cano would've made that play every time.
[27] more than that, this team would be cruising in first place with Cano.
[28] he's probably thinking the same thing.
I think we have seen the last of Mr. Drew. Joe always played him for his defense. If that goes what's left?
Booooooooo.
(For the IBB.)
Steady Eddie Warren! (That was Eddie Lopat's nickname).
Anyone else hold their breath when DiDi's throw went to Drew?
[32] Lefty, couldn't break a pane of glass.
Yay, Dustin!
[34] Eddie threw "stuff," as Mel Allen would say. Closest thing to a knuckleballer.
I hate wasted doubles.
Modammit
Fuck
Put it on a fucking tee.
Adam Ant steady enough.
This game is one ugly feeling right now.
Bird's play at least a positive...
Wake up Yankees, the opportunity is NOW.
Yanks hold leads but rarely come back in the late frames. Hope this on is different.
Holy shit, the Red Sox are beating the tar out of the Blue Jays.
I'm not looking forward to our next trip to Fenway, honestly.
Drew took a Sunday hop off the face and fucked up a catch the average little leaguer makes. That'll be my last thought before bed.
Shaping up to be a great divisional race. Hate playing from behind though
Oy.
Shutting the iPad down, night all.
Ugh
That was a disgrace.
2 straight nights of nut punch losses. Fucking Bollocks!
