And by dumb ass I am thinking mostly of Kendrys Morales, who couldn’t get out of the baseline the other day when Didi Gregorius crashed into him. Didi shot the big oaf a quick look when he first hit the ground, the same look you shoot at the dumb ass in the middle of Costco who cuts you off blindly. There was no bad blood between them but Didi is now on the DL and he might be there awhile.
Dumb asses.
Otherwise a good weekend as the ’98 team was feted at the Stadium. Oh but don’t it make you feel old. Ha.
But the Yanks won all three games. They are down in dumb Jeterville, Miami for a pair and then up to Baltimore for the weekend. The games they are expected to win.
We’ll be watchin’—and rootin’!
Never mind the beach:
Let’s Go Yank-ees!
Picture by Bags
Nice ovation for Stanton
Phew, Tanaka makes an out. I hate pitchers hitting.
What's story down in Miami? Tanaka looking good? Just checking in to Gameday app now..
Well, #obligatoryhomer. Sigh.
[3] Tanaka good, bats, not so much.
[5] He's been real good for the most part. Not sure when the O is going to return, and now with Didi out..
Aw jeez, walk off coming up
Losing to the Orioles and the Marlins. Why?
Come on, Chad
Phew!
Phew!
[10] Boom! :)
[12] Heh
Pathetic offense
Now batting, Magneuris Sierra..imagine Bob Sheppard saying that.
And this one goes to eleven
I was going to hate on Greg Bird but why bother. I still don’t get what anyone sees in him. Pathetic batting average, poor skills at first…am I missing something?
[17] Potential for left handed power in YSIII. Potential. At some point results matter.
Cash man should have packaged him and Sunny/Gray for someone with a heartbeat.
Well I’ve gotta take the now only dog back to the vet in the morning. Cushings disease, which is serious. Night.
Rbj, there’s good treatments for Cushings for dogs. Good luck.
Lose a game with Cole without using Chapman. Lovely.
[20] Oh no, best of luck at the vet.
Well, A.J. Cole was a merry ol' soul. What a tense game. The question is will Chappie be Aroldis?
[24] Boat! Back and enjoying the humidity again? I'm off to Toyama this weekend for the music festival.
[26] Dang. I don't know how you do music festivals in this heat. I am too old for that shit. I hope most of the venues are in doors. We went to a string concert in Venice in a beautiful, but un-air-conditioned church. Thankfully, the music was fantastic enough to get me through it, there was even an encore.
[26] You're more sensitive to the heat than I am I think. This festival in the countryside too so not quite as oppressive.
Uh-Oh..Chapman hurt??
Where the hell is Robertson!?
Come on Big Daddy Kahnle!
Close but no cigar, the Yankees WIN!
With no D-Rob or Chapman? That's worth a Cohiba.
So who goes on the DL after today’s game?
Walker!
Please strikeout, Lance
Thank you. I hate pitchers hitting
I also hate Boston
The Marlins are bad at fundamentals.
And I hate the new IBB rule.
I do like another Yankee run
I absolutely loathe Marlin three run dingers
That figures.
Bird is the turd.
I’ll take that
This is going well.
Wheels off. Night
Fucking Bollocks. No Chance.
Ah, players weekend
Try being a fielder, not an entertainer
Shit
Nice bounce back inning for Dub
Double shit
Voit!
Come on, get a lead for Dub
Rats
Fuck
Night.
The First 5 seconds I get to hear tonight on the radio is Robertson giving up a 2 run job. Sweet. Home to see Gleyber with the bases juiced.
That'll do.
I like it!
A win. Phew.
Nice to start off with a lead
An-duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-jar!
Gritner!!
Stanton got robbed!
Gleyber didn't.
double digits.
Ballgame. Now sweep the DH.
Rispsuccess!
I hoped being demoted has taught Sonny not to suck.
Nice start for Pickles
Now we just need for Bird to stop sucking
Wow, the Orioles suck
Buckball!
Stanton hit the snot out of that one ... for a GiDP.
LOL ... baseball.
Good day for Hicks!
Well, that was Ball Saxbury.
Chris Carter flashback.
Stanton is hitting it too hard
Gio!
#78 Stanton just hits the fuck out of the ball ... and JUDGE is on this team!
GLEYBER!
With the leather!!!
Two CS. Stop running tonight
Great job, Sonny.
Wow, Aaron sending Sonny back out. I wouldn’t push it.
Holdy? They need to get more creative with nicknames
Phew
More runs please. C'mon, Bird. Ferfuck's sake!
Nope. 2 1st and 3rd chances with 1 out and zero runs.
Bird is not the word
That waa a nice bomb from Romine.
I appreciate insurance. Surprised no insurance company has a tie in with a team about insurance runs.
That’s one
There’s two
Damn, shut out gone
Happy Saturday, y'all. The Gas Face!
And there’s three. DH sweep. Night, ara and cult.
Once more unto the breach
Tonight would be a fine time for Vintage Luis.
Damn, nice catch.
Voit!
like me some Louis.
Sevy looking good early
An-duuuuuuuuuuuu-jar!
I approve of more runs
Jeez, ESPN., I didn’t know the Yankees have a captain now. Thank you for pointing that out.
Looks out of the batters box. Now a DP
This is interesting.
Phew.
Sevi struggling a bit, lots of pitches, but gets out of it.
Phew. That was fortunate.
thanks, 4 letter network, for reminding us that Bird has been awful thus summer.
Rats, there goes the shutout
[110] I'd get upset, but Bird keeps reminding us that Bird has been awful this summer ...
Gotta take my one remaining dog in for all day blood work first thing in the morning, Morning, then four hours later and another four hours later.
Night
Luke Volt with the jolt!
Good luke rbj, hope it goes well!
Ugh, Sevy still not right at all.
[115] thanks. It might be Cushing’s disease. Because he drinks too much water and his blood sugar level is fine. It’s still a mystery.
Ok, shutting down for real.
Arrrrgh ... stabby!
That sucks,RBJ. After a year without a hound I'm picking up a puppy in 6 weeks. Both for me and my little daughter. :)
damn 4 letter Sunday nites, can't stay up much more. maybe need to slow down on the bourbon.
Walks are never good.
Sweeeeeeeeep!
6 back!
Howdy!
Evening, Cult
Back to school tomorrow. : / Go Yankees!
Seems like good Tanaka has shown up tonight ... let's hope it continues.
Also, Higgy is REALLY slow.
Hmm, might be safe
Nope
Yeah, think we got away with one there, thought he was safe.
TOE!
Well, that inning was a pathetic.
Not good
Phew, phew, phew!
Phew. That was impressive. And very Yankees-like.
Haven't seen that in a while. Gleyberday!
Woohoo!
Hey Hey! Away a couple days and now we're back in the division race?
[137] He joined the 20-hr club!
[139] I'll just settle for more at bats like that ...
I do like the players weekend. Just wish they’d get more creative with the names.
[141] Yeah, real real gap between the clever names and the 'subtract a few letters and add a Y at the end' ones.
C'mon Tanaka!
Nice snag.
Seems Tanaka is a five inning pitcher. Loads of that in MLB these days.
This blows.
[142] Death to Flying Things.
Ugh. Worser
Yeah, this is feeling like one of "those games".
Gah.
Dammit
Popping out on 3 and 1. Fuuuuuuuck!
You take that pitch.
Just fucking awesome.
What a hideous display.
What a hideous display.
Un-fucking-real
I hope we can get more than two runs tonight
Take Bird out right now. He'll get over it.
Lead off error gets stranded
Nice try, Stanton
At least Bird hit it well
Yeesh, two errors so far
3 hits and 3 errors last night. 2 errors and 1 hit thus far tonight. Good times.
And now a bobble. Bunch of lollygaggers.
Bird is snakebit
Sweeping the o’s was exhausting, apparently.
Apparently pastadivingjeter has been replaced on the menu with pastadivingandujar.
I can understand yesterday against Rodon, but isn't James Shields way past washed-up??
A lead off triple. A guaranteed run!
Miggy Jr.!
That was a beaut.
Miggy goes AnduFAR! (I'm ready to try out for Pa Sterling's gig if/when he retires)
Rats!
Jace Fry..?
I like it! Hell yeah, Hicks!
Woo hoo!!!
BOOM! All tied up, now let's put them away.
How many guys up to 20 taters now, that's 5?
Lean into one, Stein!
Betances dances. Now, walk off, please
WALKER-OFF!!!
Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet! Cheers, y’all. Fuck yeah! Via YES.
Walker-off!
Night, all.
[178] Glad I'm not the only one who heard that ...
Sayonara!! Now let's hope the Fish can get to Kimbrel..
Nice win but can someone tell me why Greg Bird is still in the Majors?
Come on Bigg Man
1-2-3!
Not 1-2-3
Biiiiiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrdddddddd!
After last night's game the booth and studio said at least 5x that the Yankees need to hit homers to score. And there is another 2 out hit from this junk team to go up 3-0. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Hard hit outs
Hicks lays out for that
How about 7 more singles in a row.
Oh, boy. Flip a coin. Hit or shit.
Hit!
Oy, Brett
Modammit
Jesus Fucking Christ!
Torres has a secondary lead of about 2 feet. Terrible every which way.
Sigh
Ouch!
Bird's Player's Day nickname should be Do-Do.
Oh, so that’s a hit
How bad do you have to be that Voit is pinch hitting for you
Horseshit offense
Fucking Bollocks.
If you can't score at least 4 run, you can't win in the American League. I bet there's a stat for that. Maybe it's 3.5.
Didi, Gary, please come back. PULEEEEEEEZE.
So Yanks vs. A's in the Wild Card game. I like our chances.
I’m 5 minutes late and we’re already trailing a crappy teamg
Oh goody, another error.
Jesus. Brett watched him get the ball and he hadn't even reached 2nd Fucking base!
300. Finally.
Hot diggity, Giancarlo
I love a good shut down inning.
Sigh.
Gleyber!
Wow., nasty.
Home run night
What has happened to our fielding of late
Hey, you can score on a non home run?
Hicks-y!
Phew phew
Good to see Gleyber! start to come around ...
Oy vey, Brett
Well, at least "Shitty Shane Robinson" only made one out this time ...
Voit!!
A Voit Volt!
Well, not what Gleyber! needed ... but at least another hard hit ball.
Loooooooooooooooooou! He's a keeper.
They still need another bat.
Shitty Shane Robinson!
Meh ...
Come on, Dellin.
There’s one
Fuck!
There's two. Tied game.
Motherfucker.
Oy, gevelt
Fuckitty fuck fuck.
Double Fuck!
There's three.
Fuck this game.
JAY-sus!
Nice time for a melt down Dellin.
JFC!
You'd like to think the bullpen is this team's strength. If we don't have that we don't have dick.
Next the Sawks will come from behind.
A.J. Cole is up. White flag.
Brett needs a day off
Take. The. Hit.
Fucking pathetic. Just awful in so many ways.
My optimism for the division just died.
The wild card game is going to be pins and needles.
This game ... and the last week or so has riled the humours ... ugh.
[246] It looks close in the standings, 1 and 2 in the Majors and all, but Boston is in a whole 'nother league.
I like to dream and stay optimistic, but if I was betting...well, that's why I don't bet.
I could see the Yankees losing all 6 remaining games against the Sux.
Yanks get some outfield help: Andrew McCutheon http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/24528314/new-york-yankees-acquire-andrew-mccutchen-trade-giants
This is not a pennant race. It’s hang onto the wild card time.
The Yanks haven’t got starters that get them past the 5th.
The bullpen is running on fumes.
Maybe they find a gem in Sept call ups?
Severino, has looked mortal.
Maybe they catch lightning in a bottle and Sheffield steps into the rotation?
If they don’t further exhaust the BP arms, they can ride 2 effective starters in the playoffs and hope to outslug everyone but I don’t see CC and Tanaka as playoff ready and Severino almost lost the Wild card game last year in the first. Maybe Sheffield comes up and dominates and that energizes CC, Tanaka and Sevy?
