"A New York Treasure" --Village Voice

White Heat

The Red Sox keep reminding the Yanks that the Baby Bombers are not yet ready for Prime Time. The bullpen rightfully gets the blame for blowing a 6-3 lead but watching it live, I got the sense that the Yanks blew it when Aaron Judge whiffed with the bases loaded and just one out in the 7th. He had a couple of good pitches to hit, put good swings on them, but fouled the balls off instead of putting them in play. Because that’s the way it goes and that’s the way it’s been going for Judge, who has now whiffed in more consecutive games than just about anybody ever.

Then the pen was horseshit, too—Aroldis Chapman looked especially mortal again.

9-6 was the sorry-ass final.

Tonight gives Chris Sale, aka Dr. Doom.

Yanks have their work cut out for them. Let’s see what they got.

Never mind the pressure:

Let’s Go Yank-ees!

So ... last night was the latest contestant for "Worst Loss of the Season".

I don't expect tonight to be a competitor ... I expect us to get trounced.

But ... that's why we play the games ... LET'S GO YANKEES!!!

Oh,my ... that's a tight zone.

3 rbj   ~  Aug 19, 2017 6:17 pm

Chapman out as closer for the time being. Right move by Joe

4 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 19, 2017 6:20 pm

With this zone ... I have bad feelings about a CC start ... we'll see.

5 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 19, 2017 6:24 pm

ICE CREAM MAN!!!

6 rbj   ~  Aug 19, 2017 6:26 pm

Good start for CC

7 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 19, 2017 6:28 pm

Grrrrr ... not bunting on Schilling in 2004 STILL pisses me the FUCK off.

8 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 19, 2017 6:30 pm

I'd bunt on my dead grandmother ... and I'd have bunted Curt's fat ass all over the field for the 1st two innings.

ANGRY RED FACED EMOJI!

9 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 19, 2017 6:31 pm

Ah ... shit ... I thought was gone from Didi.

10 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 19, 2017 6:32 pm

19 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 19, 2017 7:20 pm

Judge is just pathetic right now.

STOP SWINGING AT BALLS!!!

20 rbj   ~  Aug 19, 2017 7:20 pm

Dubious record for Judge

21 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 19, 2017 7:24 pm

Can we say ... OVERRULED!?!?!?

Sad.

22 rbj   ~  Aug 19, 2017 7:35 pm

Damn shut out gone

23 rbj   ~  Aug 19, 2017 7:36 pm

Lead in jeopardy now

24 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 19, 2017 7:36 pm

What a horrible throw from Gardner.

Sigh.

Seriously???

FUCK!

25 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 19, 2017 7:37 pm

Could somebody please sneak up and hit me in the back of the head with a brick???

Un-fucking-real.

26 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 19, 2017 7:38 pm

Hurray. I got home just in time for the wheels to come off. That was a shite throw from Gardner.

27 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 19, 2017 7:38 pm

FUCKING AWFUL.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

28 rbj   ~  Aug 19, 2017 7:40 pm

Thank you Todd

30 thelarmis   ~  Aug 19, 2017 7:46 pm

Todfather!

cult - you're en fuego, my friend. I loves it!

31 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 19, 2017 7:48 pm

NOSTRA!

We need your MOJO tonight ... I know it!

32 thelarmis   ~  Aug 19, 2017 7:51 pm

Fuck you, Markus.

33 thelarmis   ~  Aug 19, 2017 7:55 pm

Nice catch, Todfather!

I am not a fan of Eck in the booth. Not awful, I just don't dig him there...

34 thelarmis   ~  Aug 19, 2017 7:56 pm

Yay!

I hope they send CC out for the 7th. Eck disagrees...

35 rbj   ~  Aug 19, 2017 7:57 pm

Well done, CC

36 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 19, 2017 7:58 pm

Phew!

37 rbj   ~  Aug 19, 2017 7:59 pm

[33] watched the Dodgers Tigers game on FS1 today.
Dick Enberg puts me to sleep, and Kirk Gibson is a monotone, most colorless color guy out there.

38 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 19, 2017 8:08 pm

Fugh

39 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 19, 2017 8:08 pm

Can I call a K here?

40 rbj   ~  Aug 19, 2017 8:10 pm

Oy, Judge

41 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 19, 2017 8:11 pm

#39 ... Yup.

Sigh.

42 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 19, 2017 8:14 pm

This is about that time when things get intrersesting.

43 rbj   ~  Aug 19, 2017 8:17 pm

I'm beginning to hate Devers

44 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 19, 2017 8:18 pm

Jebus ... this is going to be the Boston un-massacre, isn't it???

45 rbj   ~  Aug 19, 2017 8:19 pm

Wait, what, upheld?

46 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 19, 2017 8:25 pm

That kid homered again? Just fucking great.

47 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 19, 2017 8:46 pm

Time for another 2 out killer hit.

48 Alex Belth   ~  Aug 19, 2017 8:46 pm

Good lord, Sanchez, BLOCK THE DAMN BALL. You can see where this is headed...

49 Alex Belth   ~  Aug 19, 2017 8:49 pm

Nice job by Robertson there. What a heart attack this game is.

50 rbj   ~  Aug 19, 2017 8:53 pm

Glad I had to misss the blood pressure killer. My meds are going to get used up before I have a new job

51 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 19, 2017 8:53 pm

Good. More runs, please.

52 rbj   ~  Aug 19, 2017 8:54 pm

Need to plate this run

53 rbj   ~  Aug 19, 2017 8:57 pm

Now that's how you bunt

/Scooter

54 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 19, 2017 9:01 pm

Of course.

55 Start Spreading the News   ~  Aug 19, 2017 9:04 pm

Weird swing by Gardner. It's almost like he had no idea that a fly ball could score the run.

56 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 19, 2017 9:13 pm

I sense complete doom upcoming.

57 rbj   ~  Aug 19, 2017 9:15 pm

One down

58 rbj   ~  Aug 19, 2017 9:18 pm

Uh oh

59 rbj   ~  Aug 19, 2017 9:20 pm

Sheriff!

60 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 19, 2017 9:21 pm

Get the fucking batter. Great throw! With a foot assist gym Didi.

61 Ara Just Fair   ~  Aug 19, 2017 9:21 pm

Amazing!

62 rbj   ~  Aug 19, 2017 9:21 pm

Three down!

Night all.

63 Alex Belth   ~  Aug 19, 2017 9:24 pm

Wow. What a heart attack. Great job by Dellin. And also by Sanchez for redeeming himself with that throw!

64 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Aug 20, 2017 1:24 am
