The bobbleheads ain’t coming. But the Yanks are in Boston for a three-game set against the Red Sox, who need these wins more than the New Yorkers. Be interesting to see if Alex gets any swings this week. I expect he might, just to give him some burn in a big league game.

Never mind the boo-birds:

Let’s Go Yank-ees!

Women's soccer game is on, US up 2-1 on Columbia

2 rbj   ~  Aug 9, 2016 6:30 pm

Yay, a run

3 rbj   ~  Aug 9, 2016 6:49 pm

Columbia has tied it up

4 rbj   ~  Aug 9, 2016 6:52 pm

Second run

5 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Aug 9, 2016 6:53 pm

Why isn't A-Rod playing??

6 rbj   ~  Aug 9, 2016 7:06 pm

I hate My Little Pony

7 rbj   ~  Aug 9, 2016 7:40 pm

Crap

8 rbj   ~  Aug 9, 2016 7:42 pm

Kinda feel bad for the kid. Almost

9 rbj   ~  Aug 9, 2016 7:49 pm

Scores anyway

10 Boatzilla   ~  Aug 9, 2016 7:49 pm

[5] You still have to ask that? Who would the fans rather watch DH McCann or A-Rod? ;>)

G.I. Joe apparently never got the memo about how bad the Yankees suck with or without A-Rod in the lineup. The knucklehead thinks they have a chance at the playoffs.

Apparently Alex is playing in the last game of this series and then Friday at the Stadium.

11 rbj   ~  Aug 9, 2016 7:49 pm

Short hook by Joe

12 Boatzilla   ~  Aug 9, 2016 7:52 pm

Despite occasionally making spectacular plays, Hicks is a shit-ass fielder. I usually see him running after the ball rather than to it.

13 Boatzilla   ~  Aug 9, 2016 7:53 pm

Big Poopi. This is where I A-xit, stage left.

14 rbj   ~  Aug 9, 2016 8:17 pm

That's our Headley, turning a lead off double into an out at third.

15 rbj   ~  Aug 9, 2016 8:25 pm

Jeez, Hicks

16 rbj   ~  Aug 9, 2016 8:26 pm

Of course. Night all, just need to turn the iPad off

17 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Aug 9, 2016 8:34 pm

What exactly does Hicks do well on a baseball field?

18 thelarmis   ~  Aug 10, 2016 12:16 am

Fuck GI Joe and fuck Hicks. Fuck 'em all!!!

A-Rod should be playing. He might get to pinch hit in a no-win situation tomorrow. Then, he's slated to start against a knuckleballer? That's a bunch o' fuckin' bollocks right there!!! Start him Wednesday, let him pinch hit Thursday after the floater has floated into the bullpen, and bat him leadoff at home on Friday.

easy peasy.

19 Boatzilla   ~  Aug 10, 2016 1:14 am

[18] There is something very unpleasant and ugly going on with the management of this team and A-Rod's exit.

G.I. Joke suggesting this team can make the playoffs is an absurdity that eclipses the most outlandish Trumpism.

I've been a fan for more than 45 years and I'm fed up. This might be my breaking point.

Al Davis' treatment of Marcus Allen drove me away from the Raiders and pretty much away from the NFL. This might end my ankee affair.

20 MSM35   ~  Aug 10, 2016 6:17 pm

Maybe because I'm an older fan but the overdone coverage of Alex's exit moves me not at all. I don't care. It is time for him to go and $27 million is a nice exit. Follow the team. Say good-bye to this wonderful talent who unfortunately leaves with a mixed record. He could have been a contender.

21 rbj   ~  Aug 10, 2016 6:28 pm

Teixeira, Alex and now Prince Fielder. Strange year

22 rbj   ~  Aug 10, 2016 6:36 pm

Win games, yeah, you aren't fooling anyone, Joe.

23 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Aug 10, 2016 6:39 pm

What's wrong with EVo?

24 rbj   ~  Aug 10, 2016 6:40 pm

Hmm, Chasen in the game.

25 rbj   ~  Aug 10, 2016 6:51 pm

I'd never pinch run Tanaka, he's the ace

26 seamus   ~  Aug 10, 2016 6:57 pm

Any word on Evo? I didn't catch what's wrong.

27 rbj   ~  Aug 10, 2016 6:58 pm

Rush roh, right elbow discomfort for Eo.

28 seamus   ~  Aug 10, 2016 6:58 pm

Oh they just said, Eovaldi had right elbow discomfort. And Kenny noted the same thing happened this time last year.

29 rbj   ~  Aug 10, 2016 6:59 pm

Thanks for the out, Benny

30 seamus   ~  Aug 10, 2016 7:02 pm

I should watch Scranton instead.

31 rbj   ~  Aug 10, 2016 7:03 pm

Wow, the men defeated the Aussies by only 98-88

32 rbj   ~  Aug 10, 2016 7:07 pm

Damn not a DP

33 seamus   ~  Aug 10, 2016 7:08 pm

Only 1 run is actually not bad.

34 rbj   ~  Aug 10, 2016 7:12 pm

Flipped over to boxing for a minute. I thought head gear was mandatory, but they aren't wearing them

35 MSM35   ~  Aug 10, 2016 7:36 pm

{34} Not anymore. Too bad.

36 rbj   ~  Aug 10, 2016 7:42 pm

Yay, Didi!

37 seamus   ~  Aug 10, 2016 7:42 pm

DIDI!

38 rbj   ~  Aug 10, 2016 7:43 pm

Any reason why they got rid of the head gear?

39 MSM35   ~  Aug 10, 2016 7:45 pm

[38] I think because pros. are in it.

40 rbj   ~  Aug 10, 2016 7:48 pm

Ah, makes sense. The 20 year old kid I saw looked like an amateur.

41 MSM35   ~  Aug 10, 2016 8:17 pm

Frazier has three hits, Judge hit his 18th homer and Enns is pitching a shutout. Better days ahead.

42 rbj   ~  Aug 10, 2016 8:21 pm

Johnny Allstaff pitching tonight. Who gets sent down?

43 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 10, 2016 8:54 pm

C'mon Alex!

44 seamus   ~  Aug 10, 2016 8:55 pm

[41] nice. I hadn't checked yet so i'm glad to hear they are having good nights.

45 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 10, 2016 8:58 pm

Oh well.

46 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 10, 2016 9:10 pm

That's HEADLEY!

47 seamus   ~  Aug 10, 2016 9:34 pm

I don't think i've seen this before.

48 seamus   ~  Aug 10, 2016 9:38 pm

wow nice snag Warren.

49 seamus   ~  Aug 10, 2016 9:41 pm

WOW. SANCHEZ CRUSHED THAT!

50 RIYank   ~  Aug 10, 2016 9:42 pm

I wasn't even watching this game -- then I happened to see the score.
And now I happen to see Gary Sanchez homer. Cool!

51 RIYank   ~  Aug 10, 2016 9:45 pm

Oh, wow. Just looked at the pitching line.
Good thing we have 19 pitchers on the roster.

52 seamus   ~  Aug 10, 2016 9:49 pm

Nice solid single from Refsnyder. More runs more runs more runs more runs!

53 RIYank   ~  Aug 10, 2016 9:50 pm

Was it foul? Wild pitch?
Oh, it hit the ump.

54 RIYank   ~  Aug 10, 2016 9:51 pm

So that's better than a bunt.
Opportunity, Brett!

55 RIYank   ~  Aug 10, 2016 9:53 pm

Boo.

56 RIYank   ~  Aug 10, 2016 9:54 pm

Your turn, Jake.

57 RIYank   ~  Aug 10, 2016 9:57 pm

This is a very ugly game. Fun, but ugly.

58 knuckles   ~  Aug 10, 2016 9:58 pm

I am calling it a season (maybe, probably) after Alex's last game. The guy performed, took all the shit heaped onto him, and (eventually) accepted the fact that he was the (much too belated) scapegoat for Bud's steroid era after the recent witch hunt.

I was pissed when the Yankes didn't dump Joe when Mattingly was available, and he can ride off into the sunset on his high horse this winter for all I care. I sincerely hope the next iteration of winning Yankee teams has someone else at the helm and that their key bat that year benefits from some of Alex's under appreciated baseball intelligence.

59 RIYank   ~  Aug 10, 2016 9:59 pm

Aw my gawd.
Let's just get attah heah, while the Green Line is still running.

60 RIYank   ~  Aug 10, 2016 10:02 pm

Is Ross wearing a blindfold? WTF is going on?

61 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 10, 2016 10:04 pm

That'll do (I hope).

62 cult of basebaal   ~  Aug 10, 2016 10:19 pm

Nice game from Sanchez.

About time he got a chance.

63 seamus   ~  Aug 10, 2016 10:28 pm

nice. i'll take that.

64 thelarmis   ~  Aug 11, 2016 12:31 am

GI Joe is a fucking tool. And it's ridiculous that A-Rod will be facing a knckler tomorrow. He'll be even more outta whack on Friday.

At this point, I kinda want Girardi to be fired and Alex to hop on with another team, and also play next season. I mean, why the fuck not...

65 thelarmis   ~  Aug 11, 2016 12:41 am

oh, hey! i just saw that steven wright isn't starting tomorrow. it's a lefty. i hope alex bats leadoff.

i expect the yankee crowd to boo GI Joe mercilessly on friday. i'll be disappointed if they don't...

66 seamus   ~  Aug 11, 2016 7:58 am

I have to admit, I don't at all get the Joe G hate. I'm with Joe G on this one. Completely.
