"A New York Treasure" --Village Voice

Up Jump the Boogie

What do you need to know about a 2-1 playoff loss other than it was a kick in the cubes? Second straight 2-1 game, this time, a walk-off, with none other than Jose Altuve—who else?—scoring the winning run. Justin Verlander did his teammate Keuchel one better and stuck it up the Yankees’ ass for 9 innings. During Game 1, I winced the few times the Yankees’ missed their pitch but in Game 2 Verlander just flat threw it past guys all day long—Didi, Judge, Sanchez. The pitches were in the zone, fat part of the plate, but they just had too much zip and the Yankees could not catch up. His breaking stuff just as good and Verlander wasn’t going to take his first L in Houston on this night: 9 innings, 5 hits, a walk, and 13 strikeouts.

Frustrating, no doubt. A play here, a play there, but it was not to be.

And so the Yanks return home and turn to old reliable C.C. Sabathia once again. I keep expecting him to pitch his age and just get ripped, and perhaps the Astros offense will go off on him, but we certainly won’t be surprised if C.C. pitches well either. He sure could use some help from the bats.

Never mind the stakes:

Let’s Go Yank-ees!

Wife and I are getting a NY Style pizza with pepperoni and anchovies for luck. (She got the Chicago style last year for luck for her Cubs).

Yanks need a win tonight.

2 rbj   ~  Oct 16, 2017 7:03 pm

Big man gonna step up and have a big game.

3 iyasu   ~  Oct 16, 2017 7:14 pm

Yes

4 iyasu   ~  Oct 16, 2017 7:15 pm

Sweet

5 rbj   ~  Oct 16, 2017 7:16 pm

Nice, CC

6 Evil Empire   ~  Oct 16, 2017 7:22 pm

Good inning by CC.

7 rbj   ~  Oct 16, 2017 7:24 pm

Good idea, Didi

8 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 7:25 pm

oh, didi.

yay, then, boo.

9 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 16, 2017 7:25 pm

Sweet.

10 rbj   ~  Oct 16, 2017 7:25 pm

That, however, not so much

11 51cq24   ~  Oct 16, 2017 7:26 pm

will anything go right for us this series?

12 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 7:31 pm

hell yeah, cc!!

13 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 7:31 pm

whew.

14 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 16, 2017 7:35 pm

I'm late. Judge K and bad baserunning by the Yanks? So business as usual then?

15 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 16, 2017 7:37 pm

Nasty.

16 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 7:37 pm

beautiful fucking pitching, carsten charles!!!

17 rbj   ~  Oct 16, 2017 7:37 pm

Good morning, good afternoon, good night!

18 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 16, 2017 7:40 pm

Evening all ... What happened to Didi?

19 51cq24   ~  Oct 16, 2017 7:42 pm

this guy looks unhittable

20 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 16, 2017 7:42 pm

Jesus Fucking Christ! Yankee lineup giving every stro starter Siper Powers. Let's go!

21 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 7:44 pm

2-run homer, hicks. do it, dude.

22 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 7:44 pm

that's inside, (ch)ump.

23 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 7:45 pm

[18] beautiful bunt down the 3rd base line to beat the shift. got picked off before the first pitch to the next batter. dove back and got stuck in the mud. no reason to review.

24 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 7:45 pm

nice, hicks. but that scored zero runs. i was hoping for 2 runs from your AB.

let's go, todfather!

25 rbj   ~  Oct 16, 2017 7:46 pm

Come on, Todd

26 iyasu   ~  Oct 16, 2017 7:47 pm

Wow!

27 rbj   ~  Oct 16, 2017 7:47 pm

Thank you Toddfather!

28 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 16, 2017 7:47 pm

BOOM!!!! Thumbs Down!

29 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 16, 2017 7:47 pm

Hell Yeah!

30 51cq24   ~  Oct 16, 2017 7:48 pm

i seriously thought that was a medium fly ball even in ys

31 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 16, 2017 7:48 pm

I heard ift ffs!

32 51cq24   ~  Oct 16, 2017 7:49 pm

with this guy's stuff i'd rather have matt holliday in than headley. the 2 seamer looks like a wiffle ball pitch.

33 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 7:51 pm

i don't think it hit him...

34 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 7:51 pm

i went wild here in my den when the Toddfather whacked the ball!

35 51cq24   ~  Oct 16, 2017 7:52 pm

i mean his pants definitely moved a tiny bit but come on

36 knuckles   ~  Oct 16, 2017 7:52 pm

Not the hill to die on with two outs in the second inning.

37 iyasu   ~  Oct 16, 2017 7:53 pm

Great start.

38 Evil Empire   ~  Oct 16, 2017 7:53 pm

In Todd we trust.

39 rbj   ~  Oct 16, 2017 7:53 pm

Yeah not enough to over turn

40 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 16, 2017 7:57 pm

The TODDFATHER!!!!!!!

41 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 7:57 pm

all-starlin!

42 iyasu   ~  Oct 16, 2017 7:57 pm

Nice swing, nicer catch.

43 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 7:58 pm

all-starlin, again!

44 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 7:59 pm

catch the damn ball, gary.

45 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:00 pm

dammit. had gary caught that pitch, it may have been called a strike. now, another 2-out walk.

46 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:01 pm

Every pitch counts and Gary is dropping pitches That would've been strikes! Oi
,

47 51cq24   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:01 pm

umpires suck. you have to catch that pitch but it's down the middle of the plate. yankees have consistently gotten less strike calls than the opponent all postseason.

48 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:01 pm

crap. PLEASE keep the shutout intact.

49 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:02 pm

This little shit. Of course.

50 rbj   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:03 pm

Hmmm

51 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:03 pm

This is not going well.

52 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:05 pm

jesus.

53 rbj   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:05 pm

Ruh roh

54 iyasu   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:05 pm

phew

55 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:06 pm

Oh no, young A-Rod is up with a full deck..

56 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:06 pm

Thank Mo!

57 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:06 pm

FUCK YEAH!!!

58 iyasu   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:06 pm

Intact.

59 rbj   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:07 pm

Phew

60 yankintexas   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:09 pm

If CC and Correa got stuck in a repeating time loop I think he hits a grand slam 90% of the time.

61 51cq24   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:11 pm

seriously, strike zone against judge is beyond anything he saw even early in the regular season. it's just not fair.

62 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:11 pm

Get a walk at least.

63 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:12 pm

finally. they didn't ring him up on the low pitch.

64 rbj   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:12 pm

I’ll take that

65 51cq24   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:12 pm

[61] haha wow, the first time he's gotten a call

66 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:12 pm

yeah! definitely safe.

67 rbj   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:12 pm

That as well

68 iyasu   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:13 pm

Altuve is a vacuum cleaner.

69 iyasu   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:13 pm

Nice replays.

70 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:13 pm

he's safe.

71 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:14 pm

Just as close as Headley's hit in the pants.

72 51cq24   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:14 pm

is there clear evidence that he was on the bag? i don't think so.

73 iyasu   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:14 pm

No way.

74 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:14 pm

oh, FUCK YOU!!

75 rbj   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:14 pm

Boo!

76 iyasu   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:15 pm

Terrible replay call.

77 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:15 pm

MOTHERFUCKER!

78 iyasu   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:15 pm

Replay is not supposed to change a correct call to a wrong one. WTF

79 51cq24   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:16 pm

unbelievable. show us the replay that is conclusive. every single close call has gone against us, even when the call on the field went our way. absolutely ridiculous.

80 seamus   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:16 pm

The shot behind first showed he was off the bag. Mystifying.

81 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:16 pm

Maybe they'll eventually show a replay with the dude's foot definitely on the bag at some point tonight.

82 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:17 pm

he is definitely NOT a joy to watch. fuck you, joe fuck.

83 seamus   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:17 pm

[82] pretty much my thought

84 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:18 pm

Need another quick inning from The Big Fella.

85 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:18 pm

there's NO way there was conclusive evidence to overturn that. total fucking bollocks.

86 iyasu   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:18 pm

[80] Exactly. Makes you wonder about stuff you shouldn't have to.

87 rbj   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:19 pm

Is there a conspiracy by game officials to hose NY teams this week?

88 51cq24   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:20 pm

[87] not specifically

89 iyasu   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:20 pm

Oof. What a catch.

90 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:21 pm

Ouch.

All Rise!

91 seamus   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:21 pm

All I could do was hold my breath. He hit the wall hard

92 51cq24   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:21 pm

he's hitting a hr next time up, guaranteed

93 51cq24   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:23 pm

honestly, if altuve were on the yankees he'd probably be my favorite player since bernie. he's freaking awesome. but by the numbers judge had a better season. so why do the announcers keep talking about altuve as the presumptive mvp?

94 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:23 pm

I predict Joe Buck will give Altuve a blow job on-camera before the end of the game.

95 seamus   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:23 pm

Nice work C.C. (and Judge)!

96 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:26 pm

[93] coz he's little and he's not a yankee and judge is already guaranteed a post season award. oh, and he was more consistent. it's just dumb. judge should be mvp!

97 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:28 pm

Butcher job.

98 51cq24   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:28 pm

[96] i totally get the altuve for mvp argument. i just don't get why they're talking about it like it's obvious.

99 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:28 pm

THE WORD!!!

100 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:28 pm

wtf happened there? i'll take it!

I accept that double

102 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:28 pm

Gardner makes that catch methinks.

103 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:29 pm

if we wanna score bird, bruno has to go yard.

104 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:29 pm

That was a weird route.

105 51cq24   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:29 pm

wait, where did cameron maybin come from? and how did he not catch that? i could have caught that.

106 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:29 pm

[102] no doubt.

i'm a little surprised altuve didn't make that catch...

107 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:29 pm

[103] Even then, Castro might lap him.

108 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:30 pm

[98] yeah, i'm with you. i was ticked when joe fuck said the "likely" mvp, or whatever bollocks he was spewing.

109 51cq24   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:31 pm

that was a little balk-y

110 rbj   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:32 pm

[105] maybe he was part of the JV trade? Played for the Mud Hens last year. Didn’t get to a game this year

111 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:32 pm

[107] oh, no doubt. sooo stoopid of morton to check back at second. pitch the damn ball.

dammit, castro. you had a good eye for those 3 balls, then swung at ball 4.

112 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:33 pm

[110] i think he came over from the halos around the deadline.

113 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:35 pm

He knows he just missed it.

114 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:36 pm

Everybody is having good ABs now, except Judge and Sanchez.

115 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:36 pm

gave it a ride...

116 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:37 pm

gattis just dropped a would be strike

117 51cq24   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:37 pm

this guy morton looked electric at the beginning of the game. his stuff all looks flat now, we should be taking advantage.

118 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:38 pm

Maybin: Tigers, Marlins, Padres, Braves, Tigers, Angels, acquired by strops on waivers.

119 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:39 pm

get a fucking hit outta this spot already.

120 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:40 pm

[118] Maybin was part of the Miguel Cabrera deal, right? Marlins should be contracted just on that trade alone.

121 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:40 pm

They just said Frazier was at ALDS G2 in 1995... at age nine. Christ I feel old now

122 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:42 pm

miggy is a piece o' shit. apparently, he has two kids with a mistress. his wife knows about it. the lady is suing for more monthly payments or something...

123 rbj   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:42 pm

Ha!

124 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:42 pm

haha!!! suck it.

125 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:42 pm

Huge hit, Chase!

126 seamus   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:42 pm

MVP! Haha.

Nice Headley!

127 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:43 pm

Did I just see Saint Altuve bobble a ball? Fake news!

128 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:43 pm

[121] i felt the same way and i'm a coupla years older than you! i started doing the math, then said: fuck that noise...

129 51cq24   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:43 pm

what a way to break the ohfer. i gotta be honest, part of me was rooting for an 0/the playoffs from the DH spot.

130 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:43 pm

[122] Well, he wouldn't be the first superstar athlete (or musician!) to do that..and I doubt Florida traded him for moral reasons :)

Break it open now guys!

131 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:43 pm

Go to right, Judge!

132 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:43 pm

there we go.

i'm guessing that fucking hurt.

133 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:43 pm

1st hit for a Yankees DH.

Well, it sure would be a good time for Judge to get his shit together.

134 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:44 pm

alright, judge. this is your fucking moment.

crush the motherfucking baseball. destroy it.

135 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:44 pm

If he thinks big RBI knock, Judge fails.

If he thinks BB, anything could happen.

136 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:45 pm

Good move by Hinch, can't let Morton face the Judge here

137 seamus   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:45 pm

Smoltz is so stupid. They were obviously delaying to let their guy warm up and he’s all “McCann is out there to strategize.”

138 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:46 pm

[128] Never had to go to the bathroom worse in my life than in the upper deck at the end of that 95 game. When would you leave?

139 51cq24   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:46 pm

definitely getting a hit after that catch last inning. still think a hr, but at least a double.

140 51cq24   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:47 pm

[137] still have a soft spot for smoltz after his comments after the 1999 world series. always wanted him on the yanks

141 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:47 pm

[130] or business man or Hollywood mogul or plumber...

142 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:47 pm

[137] yeah, it was like joe buck before: i bet they're having this meeting to discuss how to pitch frazier since he homered before and a couple of other times off morton.

um, ya think?

143 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:48 pm

We'll take it!

Free run!

148 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:48 pm

gary sanchez is the ONLY catcher who sucks. right, baseball announcers and writers?

149 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:49 pm

it was not a strike. good call.

Up and in and he hit it masterfully.

159 seamus   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:51 pm

[152] that’s an interesting observation. And fits the institutional racist stereotype of Latin persons.

160 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:51 pm

that was waaaaay outside, blue.

and, that's not torreyes, joe buck.

Aaaah

[165] you did!

fuck that little fucker. didi is slower than he should be...

169 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:54 pm

I'm sending Buck a pair of knee pads.

170 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:54 pm

I'd like Didi to pop Altuve right in the nose.

171 Evil Empire   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:54 pm

It would be nice to see Judge go on a hot streak now. 3 weeks would be fine.

172 rbj   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:55 pm

Joe’s fellating Altuve on live tv

173 51cq24   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:55 pm

ok, that's a pretty nice play. we can be so objective when we're up 8-0

174 seamus   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:55 pm

[171] maybe this game gets him going. He is a rookie so him struggling with a loose strike zone in Cleveland isn’t shocking.

175 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:56 pm

Hope Betances sees some action today now to get back throwing strikes.

176 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:56 pm

[152] I thought they were all "rapists and criminals"

177 seamus   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:58 pm

Ball? Huh?

178 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:59 pm

i hate leadoff walks (when we issue them)...

179 seamus   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:59 pm

How does C.C. throw a pitch well in their strike zone box and they make no comment when they call it a ball?

180 yankintexas   ~  Oct 16, 2017 8:59 pm

[152] 3 time gold glove winner, Lance Parrish had more passed balls in a season than Sanchez this year.

181 seamus   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:00 pm

I’ll take that make up strike

182 51cq24   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:00 pm

[175] ehh, let's get a few insurance runs before that

183 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:00 pm

GOLD FUCKING GLOVE!!!

184 seamus   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:01 pm

Case closed!

185 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:01 pm

oh, and if the yanks were at the dish and they appealed on that checked swing, they would've charged us with *two* strikes. : /

186 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:01 pm

Now he's the Executioner.

187 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:01 pm

Awesome.

188 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:02 pm

High strike.

189 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:02 pm

[180] wow. i have his rookie card!

190 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:03 pm

yeah, judge!

191 iyasu   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:03 pm

[175] Would be good to see him find the zone again.

192 rbj   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:04 pm

I guess we can let CC go for the win

193 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:04 pm

You the Man, CC!

194 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:04 pm

excellent job, big fella!

195 seamus   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:04 pm

And out!

196 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:05 pm

Solid 5

197 rbj   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:05 pm

There ya go. Send him out to start the sixth, save the pen for the next two days

198 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:08 pm

[197] i'm good with that

199 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:11 pm

203 seamus   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:16 pm

[202] easily a triple play

204 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:17 pm

Dude is criticizing Didi's jump. Fuck off, Smoltz.

205 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:18 pm

[203] i think you're right.

206 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:18 pm

Fatigue is setting in

207 seamus   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:18 pm

[204] what would smoltz know about diving for a ball?

208 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:19 pm

why not talk about the tanking???

209 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:19 pm

[207] he's an "athlete" and competitive

210 seamus   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:19 pm

Listening to Buck and Smoltz I think the Astros must be winning 8-0.

211 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:22 pm

iirc from his atlanta days, gattis struggled with substance abuse. why not mention him getting past that? inspirational...

212 rbj   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:22 pm

Chad up. I guess he’s for the 7th, not Warren

213 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:24 pm

keep apologizing for the poor astros. fuck you, smoltz.

TALK YANKS!!!

214 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:24 pm

Let's all say a prayer for Charlie Morton.

215 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:24 pm

wow, didi. now cc might not be able to get thru 6.

216 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:24 pm

would be nice if these effing announcers would suggest that CC is doing a fine Verlander like performance.

217 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:25 pm

Fucking Bollocks! Seriously!

218 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:25 pm

didi slipped. having a tough night on the dirt.

219 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:25 pm

ok, cc. get outta this unscathed. i want 6 shutout innings for/from you!

220 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:25 pm

Phew! C.C.! C.C.!

225 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:26 pm

I wonder what CC was saying as he walked off the mound.

226 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:27 pm

i won't get to watch tomorrow or wednesday.

friday, i have a rehearsal at night and saturday i have a gig. i really hope this isn't the last yankees game i can watch in full this season...

227 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:27 pm

[225] me too

228 seamus   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:28 pm

[225] probably just telling Smoltz to shut up.

229 mhoward120   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:28 pm

I really believe that the Big Fella should be named Captain Emeritus.

230 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:30 pm

we're outscoring them 10-2 so far this series.

231 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:30 pm

[229] No doubt.

232 seamus   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:31 pm

[230] only 10-4 unfortunately haha

233 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:32 pm

this booth is insufferable.

234 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:33 pm

Bold fashion by Buck. Shit-ass Jersey accent attempt by Smoltzie.

235 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:33 pm

"These guys are assclowns" says my wife as they show the booth.

236 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:33 pm

[232] oh, yeah. i was told there'd be no math.

drummers... normally we can count to 4!

240 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:37 pm

CC can be captain CC next year. we gotta resign him!

241 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:37 pm

Yanks' twirling has been amazing this series. They should be up 2-1 :(

242 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:37 pm

[239] i've already taught and practiced today. then again, i still have some pad work to do and charts to go over...

but, the snare pieces are in 2 and 3!

243 seamus   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:38 pm

They finally reacted to a strike called a ball. And blamed Sanchez...

244 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:38 pm

Boatzilla, a Joisey accent? Don't know from that..

245 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:39 pm

[236] thelarmis, as long as you can count to (the) ONE..

246 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:39 pm

I usually don't complain about the announcers, but WTF! Sanchez blows a frame, then gets a make up.For Christ's sake!

247 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:39 pm

Don't do that.

248 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:39 pm

leadoff walk. grumble grumble grumble.

249 seamus   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:39 pm

[242] nice! Hence 4 is a high number today!

250 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:40 pm

[249] and we've doubled it up in runs!

251 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:40 pm

Why green? It's 8 zip.

252 seamus   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:41 pm

Who is the worst bullpen arm on the ALCS roster?

[251] was he up warming earlier?

[252] our roster? jaime garcia?

257 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:43 pm

mvp fooled on that pitch.

258 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:43 pm

so Smoltz says you need 2 hot pitchers. Tanaka and CC, oh, and Sevy makes 3. he counts like some drummers I know

259 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:43 pm

mvp a baseball god for letting his runner not to advance on that ball in the dirt.

260 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:44 pm

[258] hahaha!!! :)

261 seamus   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:44 pm

[256] yeah that’s a good call though obviously we’d save him for a long outing. Shreveport isn’t on the roster right? So no one who totally sucks...?

262 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:44 pm

3 down.

263 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:44 pm

If Dellin pitches unsuccessfully he will be beyond the pale.

269 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:50 pm

how 'bout also showing the long run for a ball by the wall?

270 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:50 pm

[267] Oh, you saw that! I've really enjoyed diving into that huge set, even with some misgivings.

What was CC saying to Reddick?

271 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:50 pm

Honor her birthday by not talking.

272 rbj   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:51 pm

[265] I may have related this before, but when I lived in Columbia, South Carolina, at Capital City Bombers games they’d play YMCA. People would get into it, especially Baptist church groups. Um, didn’t they know what the song was about?

273 thelarmis   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:53 pm

ugh. another one. that was ball 4.

274 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 16, 2017 9:55 pm

Off the WS roster, if we get that far, traded or eleased in the off season.make Dellin someneelses rehab project.

if betances cannot be trusted to throw strikes no matter the situation, he is wasting a roster spot. i'd much rather have frazier or andujar than him. and it's not even close. he must have some "injury" they can find.

little baby mvp tonight: 0-4, with a strikeout and game ending double play. also bobbled a ball. greatest non shit-sox player in the history of the game!

Wow. I laid down for a quick nap, had a really intense bad dream about shitting my pants with diarrhea and missed the Bentances shit storm. Great win otherwise. See y'll tomorrow.
