"A New York Treasure" --Village Voice

Who Says You Can’t Win ’em All?

The Yanks coughed one up last night—couldn’t cash in on all those men they put on base—and well, sometimes, that’s just gonna happen. Doesn’t mean we have to like it. And hey, at least Belgium won, and seeing how my Ma is Belgian, that made up for it.

Here’s hoping the Yanks can snap back to it and still take this series.

Never mind the rain drops:

Let’s Go Yank-ees!

ENGLAND WON A PK SHOOTOUT ... DOGS AND CATS LIVING TOGETHER, MASS HYSTERIA!

I don't know where I'm going with that ...

2 rbj   ~  Jul 3, 2018 6:13 pm

Congrats to Belgium then.

3 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 3, 2018 6:16 pm

Luckily, Belgium and England are my two sentimental favorites this tourney, since they both feature multiple players from Spurs ...

4 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 3, 2018 6:21 pm

Nice first inning from Ze German!

5 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 3, 2018 6:29 pm

Hicks!!!

6 rbj   ~  Jul 3, 2018 6:29 pm

Hicks with the stcks

7 thelarmis   ~  Jul 3, 2018 6:37 pm

I love Hicks! I’m in NYC, so I have a blackout restriction on my mlb phone app. Hope the game is on where we’re headed to dinner, but I’m guessing no...

8 thelarmis   ~  Jul 3, 2018 6:38 pm

cult - Herman Ze German is the original drummer from The Scorpions! \m/

9 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 3, 2018 6:43 pm

ZE GERMAN!

10 rbj   ~  Jul 3, 2018 6:48 pm

Higgy!

11 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 3, 2018 6:49 pm

HIGGY!!!

12 thelarmis   ~  Jul 3, 2018 6:54 pm

Hicks & Higgs!!

13 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 3, 2018 7:12 pm

Damn, that's some serious sweat!

14 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 3, 2018 7:19 pm

C'mon Drury, don't make this dreary!

15 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 3, 2018 7:21 pm

Wasn't sexy, but I'll take it.

16 rbj   ~  Jul 3, 2018 7:28 pm

Gift runs are always appreciated

17 rbj   ~  Jul 3, 2018 8:00 pm

Aw crap

18 rbj   ~  Jul 3, 2018 8:04 pm

We’ll that escalated quickly

19 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Jul 3, 2018 8:46 pm

[14] 'Cult's good tonight, innt he?'

The bottom of the lineup though..nice to see 東が丘 finally get an MLC hit, two taters is nice!

20 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Jul 3, 2018 8:47 pm

[19] Oops, should be 東岡 I think..anyways, congrats, kid!

21 rbj   ~  Jul 3, 2018 8:56 pm

Didi with the leather

22 rbj   ~  Jul 3, 2018 9:04 pm

Oy vey

23 rbj   ~  Jul 3, 2018 9:04 pm

And Stanton broke the stadium

24 rbj   ~  Jul 3, 2018 9:07 pm

Phew. Need some insurance. Lots and lots of insurance

25 rbj   ~  Jul 3, 2018 9:25 pm

Shreve? Shreve? Shreve? Why in hell is Shreve doing up in the bullpen.

26 rbj   ~  Jul 3, 2018 9:34 pm

Phew, Shreve!

27 rbj   ~  Jul 3, 2018 9:40 pm

I remember Flip Wilson. Heck I remember Laugh-in

28 rbj   ~  Jul 3, 2018 9:43 pm

Thank you Giancarlo

29 rbj   ~  Jul 3, 2018 9:46 pm

F.U. Blue. Outside

30 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Jul 3, 2018 9:46 pm

[27] That's random! I know of both but slightly before my time, broadcast years..maybe caught Laugh-In on re-runs?

31 rbj   ~  Jul 3, 2018 9:52 pm

One down.

32 rbj   ~  Jul 3, 2018 9:52 pm

One down.

33 Southern Yankee   ~  Jul 3, 2018 9:55 pm

Wasn’t Flip Wilson.

Was Sammy Davis!!!!

34 rbj   ~  Jul 3, 2018 9:55 pm

[30] caught it in the original. Mom went to night college, dad let us stay up and watch it. But as soon as her car came into the driveway we had to scramble for bed. But she knew what was going on.

35 rbj   ~  Jul 3, 2018 9:57 pm

How come I get duplicate comments all the time, except tonight?

Three down

36 rbj   ~  Jul 3, 2018 9:57 pm

Night all

37 Boatzilla   ~  Jul 3, 2018 10:24 pm

[20] Dude that counts as a "back translation," which in my business is a shit-ass job. ;>)

38 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Jul 3, 2018 11:06 pm

[37] Wait, I thought being a native English speaker qualifies me for any and all translation jobs in Japan??

39 rbj   ~  Jul 4, 2018 12:16 pm

Shut up, crybaby. CC didn’t hit you on purpose

40 rbj   ~  Jul 4, 2018 12:21 pm

Shaky start for CC

41 rbj   ~  Jul 4, 2018 12:46 pm

Good job, Bird

42 rbj   ~  Jul 4, 2018 1:07 pm

Excellent job, Stanton!

43 rbj   ~  Jul 4, 2018 1:23 pm

Tommy John is one.

44 rbj   ~  Jul 4, 2018 1:27 pm

Three hits, three homers for Higgy! Who else has started a career like this.

45 RIYank   ~  Jul 4, 2018 1:29 pm

RIYank is here to say
(To everyone... uh... rbj)
Happy Independence Day.

46 rbj   ~  Jul 4, 2018 1:31 pm

Thanks for nothing, Nationals.

47 rbj   ~  Jul 4, 2018 1:32 pm

[45] Happy 4th of July, RIY. Yankees busting out the fireworks early.

48 rbj   ~  Jul 4, 2018 1:47 pm

Damage limited.

49 RIYank   ~  Jul 4, 2018 1:50 pm

I'm gonna shoot off to a classic barbecue Fourth party soon... host is a die-hard Sox fan. But I guess we'll both be happy with the season this Fourth.

50 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jul 4, 2018 2:10 pm

caught an indy league game last night. Sussex County Miners vs. Jersey Jackels. Fun. just tuned in here. Frigging Nats are soooooooo disappointing. Let's go Yankees.

51 rbj   ~  Jul 4, 2018 2:14 pm

Good job, CC. Now have some ice cream.

52 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jul 4, 2018 2:36 pm

thank you, your honor

53 rbj   ~  Jul 4, 2018 2:37 pm

Pheeeew!

54 rbj   ~  Jul 4, 2018 2:43 pm

Judge joins the party

55 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jul 4, 2018 2:44 pm

first d, now the o for the Judge

56 rbj   ~  Jul 4, 2018 3:13 pm

One more out to go

57 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jul 4, 2018 3:17 pm

nice win. Happy birthday America, happy birthday to John Stirling.

58 rbj   ~  Jul 4, 2018 6:05 pm

Shoot, Gleyber to the DL

59 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jul 6, 2018 6:08 pm

This guy has been pretty tough against the Yanks.

60 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jul 6, 2018 6:10 pm

lead off hit is always acceptable.

61 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jul 6, 2018 6:13 pm

interesting that Hicks is hitting 3rd

62 rbj   ~  Jul 6, 2018 6:14 pm

Dammit, how did he get to that ball

63 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 6, 2018 6:16 pm

Damn shift ... doesn't feel fair ...

64 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 6, 2018 6:20 pm

That sucked.

65 rbj   ~  Jul 6, 2018 6:31 pm

Yeah, don’t run on the long arm of the Judge

66 rbj   ~  Jul 6, 2018 6:31 pm

That’s a strike, blue

67 rbj   ~  Jul 6, 2018 6:38 pm

Boo, not nice to steal from Bird

68 mhoward120   ~  Jul 6, 2018 6:54 pm

It’s time to deep-six Sonny Whitson.

69 thelarmis   ~  Jul 6, 2018 6:58 pm

Damn you, Sonny. And Sale is throwing against the Royales tonight.

70 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 6, 2018 7:01 pm

FUCK Sonny Gray.

71 rbj   ~  Jul 6, 2018 7:02 pm

Can we just leave Sonny Gray in Canada.

72 rbj   ~  Jul 6, 2018 7:11 pm

Hicks!

73 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 6, 2018 7:28 pm

The Bird is the turd ...

74 rbj   ~  Jul 6, 2018 7:34 pm

Sometimes you just have to eat the ball.

75 rbj   ~  Jul 6, 2018 7:52 pm

I’ll take that

76 rbj   ~  Jul 6, 2018 7:56 pm

Oh, the soft underbelly that is the Blue Jays bullpen

77 rbj   ~  Jul 6, 2018 8:00 pm

Modammit

78 rbj   ~  Jul 6, 2018 8:18 pm

I say start Hale and send Sonny to the pen.

79 Boatzilla   ~  Jul 6, 2018 8:22 pm

When does the Sonny Gray Experiment end?

80 Boatzilla   ~  Jul 6, 2018 8:25 pm

[78] That would be OK if he could be trusted out of the pen. Mop up in a blow out, maybe?

81 rbj   ~  Jul 6, 2018 8:30 pm

[80] Yup. I don’t think he has any trade value right now. Maybe NL teams that are out of it, but what’s the return?

82 rbj   ~  Jul 6, 2018 8:35 pm

Per RAB, the Yankees have until Tuesday to demote Sonny under service time. That might be best.

83 Boatzilla   ~  Jul 6, 2018 8:44 pm

[83] Please, please, please. [But I don't see it happening.]

84 rbj   ~  Jul 6, 2018 8:45 pm

I’m out

85 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jul 6, 2018 8:46 pm

Gray is just one of those guys who can't pitch in pinstripes. A not so short list. Say goodbye sooner than later

86 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jul 6, 2018 9:03 pm

yech. but Hale showing some possibility. of course Effing Shreve is coming in now. Expect a HR.

87 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jul 6, 2018 9:05 pm

DD from his knees!

88 rbj   ~  Jul 7, 2018 3:07 pm

At least we’ve got Sevy today

89 rbj   ~  Jul 7, 2018 3:08 pm

Lead off homers always appreciated

90 rbj   ~  Jul 7, 2018 3:20 pm

Belly to belly even better

91 rbj   ~  Jul 7, 2018 3:22 pm

Thanks, Pillar

92 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 7, 2018 3:56 pm

Looks like it's you and me, rbj ... happy Saturday.

Ugh ... no thanks Pillar!

93 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jul 7, 2018 3:57 pm

just joined in. Sevi gives up a 2 run homer.... and his ERA goes up.

94 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jul 7, 2018 4:01 pm

watching the Toronto feed. like watching Canadian commercials. Btw, Hamels getting hammered.

95 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jul 7, 2018 4:09 pm

Was that CC getting tossed?

96 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 7, 2018 4:10 pm

Yup

97 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jul 7, 2018 4:11 pm

Happ would not look good in pinstripes

98 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jul 7, 2018 4:15 pm

Gardi! needs a double and a single for the cycle

99 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 7, 2018 4:16 pm

GREAT baserunning from everyone there.

100 rbj   ~  Jul 7, 2018 4:16 pm

Brett’s got the hard part of the cycle out of the way

101 rbj   ~  Jul 7, 2018 4:22 pm

Happ and Hamels both lowered their trade value today.

102 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jul 7, 2018 4:23 pm

Fuck off, Curtis.
Respectfully,
-me

103 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 7, 2018 4:27 pm

Not so sharp from Sevy today ...

104 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jul 7, 2018 4:27 pm

strike zone is squeezed way too far.

105 rbj   ~  Jul 7, 2018 4:35 pm

Nice, Sevy!

106 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jul 7, 2018 4:41 pm

These Torontos don't seem to play great D

107 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jul 7, 2018 4:43 pm

otoh....

108 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jul 7, 2018 4:47 pm

I fucking hate the blue jays.

109 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 7, 2018 4:47 pm

Still not so sharp from Sevy ... another shiite slider.

Grrrrr.

110 rbj   ~  Jul 7, 2018 4:58 pm

Oh good Croatia beat the Russkies.

111 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jul 7, 2018 4:59 pm

Bird really looks like he doesn't have a clue.

112 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jul 7, 2018 5:00 pm

never thought I'd say yeah Croatia

113 rbj   ~  Jul 7, 2018 5:03 pm

97 pitches, I'd go five and fly. Save those bullets for October.

114 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jul 7, 2018 5:03 pm

think that's it for Sevi?

115 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jul 7, 2018 5:04 pm

I'm with you rbj, provided of course that Shreve is not brought in.

116 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 7, 2018 5:05 pm

With a 4 run lead?

Probably ...

117 rbj   ~  Jul 7, 2018 5:07 pm

Looks like Boone agrees with us. Ah, Holder.

118 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jul 7, 2018 5:11 pm

Holder is..... surprisingly adequate

119 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jul 7, 2018 5:13 pm

I'm thinking they're showcasing Frazer as trade bait.

120 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 7, 2018 5:18 pm

Well ... poop.

121 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 7, 2018 5:19 pm

Nice to see Dave Stieb get some love.

122 rbj   ~  Jul 7, 2018 5:19 pm

I don't like Holder doing an impression of Shreve.

123 rbj   ~  Jul 7, 2018 5:44 pm

Higgy hits a single

124 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jul 7, 2018 5:45 pm

Higa gets a hit thats not a HR.

125 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jul 7, 2018 5:58 pm

too many LOB

126 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 7, 2018 5:58 pm

Time for some dancin'

127 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jul 7, 2018 6:09 pm

nice inning for DB

128 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 7, 2018 6:19 pm

That's a TERRIBLE fucking call.

129 rbj   ~  Jul 7, 2018 6:31 pm

One down.

Uh oh

130 rbj   ~  Jul 7, 2018 6:32 pm

Oh noes!

Phew.

134 rbj   ~  Jul 8, 2018 12:14 pm

Well, have to settle for one

135 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jul 8, 2018 12:54 pm

close so far. wonder who will be closing?

136 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jul 8, 2018 1:10 pm

uh oh

137 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jul 8, 2018 1:11 pm

Yikes! C’mon, German. One more nasty pitch.

138 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jul 8, 2018 1:11 pm

strike zone is very inconsistent today. long foul ...phew.

139 rbj   ~  Jul 8, 2018 1:12 pm

Wriggles out of danger

140 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jul 8, 2018 1:12 pm

in and out of trouble

141 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jul 8, 2018 1:16 pm

lead off single is good. Cmon Gardi.

142 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jul 8, 2018 1:22 pm

killer DP

143 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 8, 2018 1:22 pm

Grrrrr ... should would be nice if guys starting hitting with RISP ...

144 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jul 8, 2018 1:31 pm

out of trouble. German looks so easy throwing heat.now if him and Bird can decide who covers 1st....

145 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jul 8, 2018 1:34 pm

little Miggy needs to cut down on his swing, esp. with 2 strikes

146 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jul 8, 2018 1:35 pm

nice to see DD go the other way

147 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 8, 2018 1:38 pm

This game is making me stabby.

As is the fact that MLB.tv is playing this fucking Keytruda ad ... over and Over and OVER again.

148 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 8, 2018 1:41 pm

This one's on the hitters.

149 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jul 8, 2018 1:41 pm

150 rbj   ~  Jul 8, 2018 1:42 pm

Crud

Miggy! Thought he'd be safe.

little Miggy shows the canon

153 rbj   ~  Jul 8, 2018 1:55 pm

Bad time for the bats to take a nap

154 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 8, 2018 1:55 pm

We're going to get URP'd today, aren't we.

This one's on the hitters ...

155 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jul 8, 2018 1:55 pm

I thought I was the one taking a nap

156 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jul 8, 2018 2:01 pm

nice start again

163 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 8, 2018 2:12 pm

C'mon Stanton, stop rolling over the outside pitch.

FUCK.

164 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jul 8, 2018 2:13 pm

bad enough when Stanton strikes out 5 times in a game. but 2 DPS in a row really sucks

165 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jul 8, 2018 2:14 pm

yuck

166 rbj   ~  Jul 8, 2018 2:15 pm

Infuriating

SOME FUCKING RUNS ... please?

169 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 8, 2018 2:32 pm

What a shit show.

170 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jul 8, 2018 2:34 pm

Yankees must be thinking about the double header tomorrow ... certainly don't have their heads into this one

171 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 8, 2018 2:37 pm

[170]

They've been absolutely horrible with RISP since the beginning of June.

Ugh.

172 rbj   ~  Jul 8, 2018 2:38 pm

Doubleheader tomorrow, so why not extra innings?

173 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jul 8, 2018 2:38 pm

nice inning Chad

174 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 8, 2018 2:41 pm

[172] Have to imagine a roster move after today's game ...

175 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 8, 2018 2:43 pm

Oh, joy ... a bunt.

176 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jul 8, 2018 2:44 pm

that's one way to stay out of the DP

177 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jul 8, 2018 2:45 pm

Cult.. Probably need an arm or 2 with 4 games in 3 days.

178 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 8, 2018 2:46 pm

Potentially "dry humping" The Hammer because ... a "save situation"?

Like Chad Green isn't good enough for another inning???

I hate this stupidity

179 rbj   ~  Jul 8, 2018 2:46 pm

Thank you Brett!

180 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jul 8, 2018 2:46 pm

Gardi! the sac bunt works

181 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 8, 2018 2:47 pm

[177] That's what I meant, need somebody to fill the ranks for the next couple of days ...

182 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 8, 2018 2:49 pm

That was a Plessy vs Ferguson level of fail there, Aaron ...

183 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jul 8, 2018 2:55 pm

Guess Robby is the closer till Chappie comes back.

184 rbj   ~  Jul 8, 2018 2:56 pm

There's one

185 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jul 8, 2018 2:56 pm

that's one.

186 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jul 8, 2018 2:59 pm

dos

187 rbj   ~  Jul 8, 2018 2:59 pm

That's two

188 rbj   ~  Jul 8, 2018 3:00 pm

And three!

189 Ara Just Fair   ~  Jul 8, 2018 3:00 pm

I like it. Cheers, y'all.

190 cult of basebaal   ~  Jul 8, 2018 3:00 pm

FUGLY ... but I'll take it.

191 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Jul 8, 2018 3:02 pm

ballgame. not the most elegant game, but a W nevertheless. Now, we get 4 against the hapless, hopeless O's. Should feel like home games there with more Yankee fans than o's rooters
