Derek Jeter Day came and went with the usual pomp (Andy and Paulie O looked trim and happy, Tino and Jorge, pinched, possibly furious, Bernie, plump like a Buddha). The Yanks split a double-header, coming from behind in the afternoon game (featuring yes another bomb from that man Judge) and getting smoked in the nightcap.
This much we know—the Astros are formidable.
Now, the fellas are out in K.C. to face the Roy-ales with Cheese.
Never mind the brisket:
Let’s Go Yank-ees!

Growing up in Franklin Lakes in a cul de sac, there was an Esso station. Jarring when it switched to Exxon
Hope CC can right the ship against the light hitting Royales.
Big props to Adam Jones for his response to Curt Shillbag, well done!
Good CC to start
Nice steal, Chase
Hey, we gots a starter who can make it to the third
Better hold onto this guy...
Gary!
Sanchez!!!
Damn. Judge crushed that.
Now the fourth? What is this witchery?
The Sheriff is back! I missed it, crushed to CF?
Great at bat from Didi
I thought that was gonna be a routine fly out. Carter!
Dang, fun game, pitching and offense
Jazz - yeah crushed to center for Sanchez.
Back to being fun! Easy for CC. Chris Carter is always chill, it's sometimes infuriating, that HR looked like anything but off the bat, lazy 420 foot pop.
I looked at some old threads to catch up. rbj, I'm sorry about your employment set back. Many of us have been there. It's not what you do, but who you are that defines you. Good luck, it's also an opportunity.
Cy CC
Rats.
[16] Thanks. Yeah if things could work out I'd wind up a hour away from my parents, who are in their 80s. But things rarely work out
Man Escobar made a nice play there.
Yanks schedule over the next few weeks looks favroable, can they open up a bit of lead in the division?
Interesting point jazz. We've actually played a tough schedule to date and have still managed to do quite well. This next phase will tell us a lot.
[21] Can't believe I'm even considering it, given that all the pre-season projections had them as a .500 team..
Good call, Joe
Phew
Oh man, that was caught. Gotta have independent review there
Can only go by ruling on the field
Well, I've got to put job applications in in the morning, night all
[27] G'night rbk, good luck with the search.
7-0, I may bail now to get some lunch.
G'night lads. Watching the final outs here. What an enjoyable game!
And by g'night j mean enjoy lunch!
Holder making this interesting. Which is annoying.
Boo! Oh well. I wanted that shut out.
Alright. Game over. Now it's good night for me!
