"A New York Treasure" --Village Voice

Break Up the Yankees

Jeez, this is a better start than many of us anticipated—winning close games (Aaron Judge with a walk-off homer last night against a cement-mixer; Gleyber Torres with 5 RBI this afternoon) and giving a promising and exciting Mets team a run for the town’s attention. Something good for the time being in this cockamamie world.

Didn't see any of today's game. Let the good times roll.

2 rbj   ~  May 11, 2022 7:00 pm

Napped during Gleyber’s homer, walked the terrorists during his other knock.

It's kind of strange. Since we, as a group, always seem to look for the worst in our beloved Yanks, it's hard to feel any confidence. OTOH, as pointed out in the WashPo this AM, every time the Yanks have started with the record they now have, they've gone on to hoist the WS trophy! Of course, for most of those times, the only round of playoffs was the WS itself. Nevertheless, it is encouraging to see them excel in virtually all elements of the game. (I would love to see them squeeze bunt, especially against the shift!).

4 Hank Waddles   ~  May 12, 2022 11:22 am

Who are these "Mets" that you speak of?

5 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 12, 2022 7:04 pm

Evening, Team.

6 RIYank   ~  May 12, 2022 7:20 pm

I accept the two-run homer!

7 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 12, 2022 7:21 pm

[6] I accept it too.

8 RIYank   ~  May 12, 2022 7:25 pm

Okay, I think that's sufficient: it counts.

9 RIYank   ~  May 12, 2022 7:47 pm

Hmm.

10 RIYank   ~  May 12, 2022 7:52 pm

The Louis Gill Experiment.

11 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 12, 2022 8:00 pm

Home just in time to see a 2 run lead vanish in 5 minutes. Sigh.

12 RIYank   ~  May 12, 2022 8:08 pm

I am definitely accepting the triple.

13 RIYank   ~  May 12, 2022 8:09 pm

Holy shit.

14 RIYank   ~  May 12, 2022 8:11 pm

Although it seems like kind of a waste to homer right after a triple.
Still, I'm going to accept it!

15 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 12, 2022 8:11 pm

Just needed to wait another 5 minutes. Unsigh. Whoo--hoo!

16 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 12, 2022 8:12 pm

Stanton was all arms with that dinger.
Amazing.

17 knuckles   ~  May 12, 2022 9:21 pm

I’m really starting to enjoy this season, despite some of the players on the team. Is Gallo at all tradeable? I like him as a person, but he seems like a definite Javy V type who’d excel more easily elsewhere.
Donaldson not impressing much to date, but the D is solid.

18 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 12, 2022 9:40 pm

Booooooooooooooo! Catch the Fucking pop up. Little leaguers do it!

19 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 12, 2022 9:46 pm

Kboooooom!

20 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 12, 2022 10:03 pm

Bullpen fail.

21 knuckles   ~  May 12, 2022 10:14 pm

[20] to be fair, they were due. It’s basically a 1.5 inning game right now. Or free baseball.

Jeez, pitchers are just going at Gallo right now.

22 OldYanksFan   ~  May 12, 2022 10:26 pm

WWWOOOWWW!!!

23 knuckles   ~  May 12, 2022 10:27 pm

Two run IF single! Amazing.

24 knuckles   ~  May 12, 2022 10:27 pm

A Rizzo bomb would ice this cake.

25 OldYanksFan   ~  May 12, 2022 10:33 pm

There's the icing!

26 OldYanksFan   ~  May 12, 2022 10:35 pm

Wow! Chapman proof.

27 knuckles   ~  May 12, 2022 10:36 pm

Woooo!

That YES shot of the home crowd leaving in a hurry was savage/priceless.

28 Hank Waddles   ~  May 12, 2022 10:45 pm

Yes, that shot was brutal!

29 OldYanksFan   ~  May 12, 2022 10:50 pm

I love that overhead shot.

30 OldYanksFan   ~  May 12, 2022 10:52 pm

I say trade Hicks, and bring back Gritner...

31 knuckles   ~  May 12, 2022 10:53 pm

Glad to see Gallo dink in that single. Every little bit helps.

32 knuckles   ~  May 12, 2022 10:55 pm

[30] please no. Gardner earned every minute of his retirement.
That said, the fact that the only reliable OF we have are two tight end sized sluggers does give pause.

33 OldYanksFan   ~  May 12, 2022 10:59 pm

O'Neill is actually turning into a good broadcaster.

34 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 13, 2022 7:20 pm

[33] Yeah, Paulie's all right.

35 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 13, 2022 7:23 pm

Stanton's in monster mode.

36 rbj   ~  May 13, 2022 7:26 pm

I approve of Stanton hitting two run homers.

37 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 13, 2022 7:30 pm

[36] I won't even call City Hall to complain.

38 knuckles   ~  May 13, 2022 7:44 pm

That first inning was a whole novel.
Just bummed this was an 8pm start because I’m coaching six year old twins soccer at 8am tomorrow.

39 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 13, 2022 7:45 pm

I know! That's exactly what it was.

40 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 13, 2022 8:37 pm

Both this motherfuckers routinely hit monster shots the other way.

Breathtaking to behold.

41 knuckles   ~  May 13, 2022 8:55 pm

Judge and Stanton locked in at the same time feels a bit like the old description of the Ruth/Gehrig teams: Score four in the first and then gradually pull away.

Apologies if I’m not typing that old bromide with complete accuracy.

42 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 13, 2022 9:46 pm

[41] The tack-on runs just make me so happy.

43 rob_smith_51   ~  May 14, 2022 6:38 am

Got tickets for Sunday's game. Last Yankee game that I went to, Nick Swisher (and 2 others) hit a homer at the stadium to beat the Phillies.

44 rbj   ~  May 14, 2022 6:30 pm

Great, Yankees going to lose 1-0

45 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 14, 2022 7:04 pm

Paul O'Neill casually talking about hitting 500 in HS and then getting drafted. I wish. Lol...

46 Boatzilla   ~  May 14, 2022 7:16 pm

This game is going slow AF.

47 Boatzilla   ~  May 14, 2022 7:19 pm

I wish someone would do a study on why certain pitchers get little-to-no run support.

Monty has suffered this in other seasons as well.

48 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 14, 2022 7:24 pm

Straight up shit luck. Or maybe nobody likes Jordan. ; )

49 Boatzilla   ~  May 14, 2022 7:34 pm

[48] I was thinking it could have something to do with a pitcher's pacing. If they work slower, the guys are standing around longer and it's longer between at-bats, etc.

50 rbj   ~  May 14, 2022 8:26 pm

25 runs the last two games, tonight, bupkus.

51 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 14, 2022 9:21 pm

Very interesting.

52 OldYanksFan   ~  May 14, 2022 9:37 pm

I hate Chapman.

53 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 14, 2022 9:39 pm

Fucking Bollocks!

54 OldYanksFan   ~  May 14, 2022 9:42 pm

Terrible terrible AB by Donaldson.

55 rbj   ~  May 15, 2022 1:13 pm

So double digit runs today?

56 rbj   ~  May 15, 2022 1:43 pm

I’ll take that.

57 rbj   ~  May 15, 2022 1:45 pm

And that.

58 rbj   ~  May 15, 2022 1:46 pm

That as well.

59 rbj   ~  May 15, 2022 3:14 pm

Rats, shutout gone.

60 rbj   ~  May 15, 2022 3:33 pm

Gallo with the insurance!

61 rbj   ~  May 15, 2022 3:43 pm

Yay, nice win!

62 RIYank   ~  May 15, 2022 3:49 pm

Nice and easy!

63 rob_smith_51   ~  May 15, 2022 5:47 pm

That was an interesting game to attend. We got to our seats at the end of the first inning. The Yankees only had base runners in the 2nd inning and 9th inning. Their pitchers looked really good. Fortunately Nestor was on fire and had a few nice plays by Donaldson. He looked a bit shaky in the eighth, but got through it. We left with 2 outs in the 9th but stopped to watch Gallo's ab. Glad we got to see that before we took off.

64 rbj   ~  May 16, 2022 6:07 pm

Stuck with the Orioles broadcast.

65 rbj   ~  May 16, 2022 6:08 pm

We better get that low strike too, Blue.

66 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 16, 2022 6:13 pm

Evening, Team!
Let's kick some ass in Baltimore now.

67 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 16, 2022 6:14 pm

[63] Donaldson was on fire yesterday, to be sure.

68 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 16, 2022 6:20 pm

Bal'more hasn't been as as awful as predicted, certainly several other worse teams out there (hello Reds!). Always like games at Camden Yards, most beautiful place to watch a game alongside Dodger Stadium.

69 rbj   ~  May 16, 2022 6:22 pm

Nerts

70 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 16, 2022 6:24 pm

You know what I love about playing Bal'more?
Ok, I'll tell you!
I've been rewatching The Wire so it's nice to see the two worlds coming together. :)

71 Boatzilla   ~  May 16, 2022 6:28 pm

Joey!

72 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 16, 2022 6:29 pm

I could see that happening in slow motion the way he was bumbling towards that ball.

sigh

73 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 16, 2022 6:32 pm

[70] I watched The Wire for the first time just a couple months ago! It finally hit the streaming services here in Japan, was incredible! (except season 5, that was big mistake..)

74 Boatzilla   ~  May 16, 2022 6:32 pm

Gleyber! Noice.

75 rbj   ~  May 16, 2022 6:35 pm

Wow, not even a run.

76 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 16, 2022 6:36 pm

[73] Yeah, it's amazing. The writing is just incredibly tight. And it's so funny.

Season 5 was the newspaper season, right? Yeah, that was the weak link, for sure.

77 Boatzilla   ~  May 16, 2022 6:36 pm

[73] The whole season? Frankly, I can't remember...the all run together to me.

Omar Little was the best character, IMHO.

78 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 16, 2022 6:36 pm

[75] Not even a run.

79 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 16, 2022 6:37 pm

[77] RIP

80 OldYanksFan   ~  May 16, 2022 6:37 pm

Wowza! What getting out of that inning scoreless just lucky?
(or good Karma?)

81 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 16, 2022 6:38 pm

Hicks is just awful.

82 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 16, 2022 6:43 pm

Huzzah to The Wire.
Go Yankees!

83 OldYanksFan   ~  May 16, 2022 6:49 pm

[81] Should I call Gritner?

84 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 16, 2022 6:53 pm

Why did the O's make that huge change to LF?? Looks strange.

85 Boatzilla   ~  May 16, 2022 6:54 pm

[84] They thought the juiced ball was here to stay.

86 Boatzilla   ~  May 16, 2022 6:55 pm

Giancarlo!
...but learn how to run the bases.

87 OldYanksFan   ~  May 16, 2022 6:56 pm

Anyone else notice that Stanton was running with his eyes closed?

88 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 16, 2022 7:11 pm

Check out Trevino!!

HA!

89 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 16, 2022 7:16 pm

(laughing--remember back in the olden days? When Alex yelled "HA!"? those were fun times.)

90 Boatzilla   ~  May 16, 2022 7:18 pm

Cameron needs to talk a little less, IMHO. He has insightful nuggets, but he blathers on about each point until it's worn out.

91 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 16, 2022 7:19 pm

[90] He'll learn. :)

92 Boatzilla   ~  May 16, 2022 7:21 pm

[89] Ha! I remember it well. The zaniest narrative from that scenario was that he somehow interfered with the player. Imagine an NBA player suggesting something similar.

93 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 16, 2022 7:24 pm

5-30-2007 lol...
https://youtu.be/x9NSSCzrnRw

94 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 16, 2022 7:30 pm

[89] In retrospect, everyone was way too hard on A-Rod. Guess he brought some of it on himself, but still..

95 Boatzilla   ~  May 16, 2022 7:33 pm

[93] Thanks for sharing. He probably said more but so what? Own your fuck up.

96 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 16, 2022 7:34 pm

The Yankees don't win the 2009 Serious without Alex. He is, was, and will always be a goof. Doesn't bother me any. : )

97 Boatzilla   ~  May 16, 2022 7:36 pm

[94] He tried to glean his image too carefully and it came across as affected, and that irked people.

98 rbj   ~  May 16, 2022 7:40 pm

Harold Reynolds when he started at ESPN was awful. But he’s turned into a very good in studios analyst. Not very good in the broadcast booth.

99 Boatzilla   ~  May 16, 2022 7:45 pm

Joey Gallo is not very good at baseball.

I guarantee you, next time he hits a homer, everyone at YES will talk about it like it's the second coming and he's turned a corner, blah, blah, blah....

100 Boatzilla   ~  May 16, 2022 7:52 pm

Question to Banterites.

Jose Trevino.
In the booth they are pronouncing it "Treviño" but I haven't seen a tilde over the "n" in print.

What gives?

Show/Hide Comments 101-200
101 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 16, 2022 7:53 pm

Batters looking for heat on 3-2 and he's dropping hooks. No chance.

102 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 16, 2022 7:58 pm

[93] Omg, it's as funny as the day it happened.
God, that was so fucking funny!

And hats off to Kenny! How the hell did he know what happened?

103 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 16, 2022 8:00 pm

[94] Commission a portrait of yourself as a centaur and people are going to get the creeps a little bit maybe. :)

104 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 16, 2022 8:02 pm

[100] I'd tell you but I'd have to kill you.

105 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 16, 2022 8:23 pm

Oh no, the 'running out the ground ball is real hustle' BS...really hate when the announcers go on about that.

106 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 16, 2022 8:31 pm

Hahahahahahahah!

107 Boatzilla   ~  May 16, 2022 8:33 pm

[105] That's a Kay Trope.
They'll never touch the real Charlie Hustle. Pete used to sprint to first on walks.

108 Boatzilla   ~  May 16, 2022 8:35 pm

[104] This is the kinda stuff that keeps me up at night.

109 OldYanksFan   ~  May 16, 2022 8:38 pm

Damn! Rizzo is good!

110 Boatzilla   ~  May 16, 2022 8:45 pm

Cameron is kindly saying, "anyone but Chapman."

111 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 16, 2022 8:48 pm

Hey Weeping, David Simon has a current show on HBO titled, "We Own this City." It's no "The Wire" but it's damn good. Catch it in 10 years!
; )

112 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 16, 2022 8:48 pm

Yaayyyyy!!!

Donaldson en fuego!

[109] That was a nice, short swing.

[11] I know! I'm looking forward to watching it! (In ten years. Hahahahah!)

115 Boatzilla   ~  May 16, 2022 8:55 pm

Chapman proof?

116 Boatzilla   ~  May 16, 2022 8:55 pm

[113] Great stuff.

117 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 16, 2022 9:07 pm

Another great win, Team!

118 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 16, 2022 9:17 pm

Yankees - Angels ALCS? Then a Subway Series? Sox in last place at home with management counting their Liverpool FC trophies?

119 rbj   ~  May 17, 2022 6:08 pm

Alright, let’s win tonight.

120 rbj   ~  May 17, 2022 6:11 pm

I don’t mind trying to stretch that to a triple.

121 OldYanksFan   ~  May 17, 2022 6:13 pm

No one on Baltimore can even reach the warning track, so why not move the fences back so the opponents have a harder time.

122 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  May 17, 2022 6:32 pm

[120] I mind. You do that with one out, not no outs.

123 rbj   ~  May 17, 2022 6:37 pm

He was only out because he overslid.

124 rbj   ~  May 17, 2022 6:42 pm

Dammit.

125 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 17, 2022 6:42 pm

Evening, Team.

Damn. Nice hitting, Urias.

Don't worry. We'll get it back.

126 rbj   ~  May 17, 2022 6:51 pm

Much better, Judge.

127 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 17, 2022 7:26 pm

Amazing. Kabooooom!

134 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 17, 2022 7:37 pm

Omg, Judge.

Can you believe this fucking guy?

135 rbj   ~  May 17, 2022 7:57 pm

I’ll take that

136 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 17, 2022 8:00 pm

Me too.

We have the lead.

137 OldYanksFan   ~  May 17, 2022 8:22 pm

Back in the day, infielders got in front of the ball, and if there was a bad hop, took it off the chest. These days, it seems guys are afraid of getting in front of the ball, even when they have time.

138 OldYanksFan   ~  May 17, 2022 9:10 pm

I hate Chapman!

139 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 17, 2022 9:11 pm

JFC, Chapman! Get it it over with already. Hang another slider since you don't know where the fastball Is going.

140 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 17, 2022 9:12 pm

Had it all the way. Lol....

141 rbj   ~  May 18, 2022 1:57 pm

Interwebs problems today.

142 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 18, 2022 6:14 pm

Evening, Team.

It's going to be a good night.

143 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 18, 2022 6:16 pm

Ya don't see that every day.

144 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 18, 2022 6:20 pm

No. You don't.

145 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 18, 2022 6:57 pm

It's really really fun to watch so many of our guys going up there and actually hitting. Bringing the hands in, going down and getting the ball, hitting it the other way...

They're not just swinging wildly hoping to run into one. They're actually hitting up there. And it's beautiful.

146 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 18, 2022 7:45 pm

Lame. 3-2 game in 6th with Cole on the bump. Blech.

147 knuckles   ~  May 18, 2022 7:54 pm

Cole looked sharp heading into the sixth, struggled a bit.

This is basically a four man lineup for the Yankees tonight (2-5) with Hicks at the top and then Gallo, IKF, Marwin, and Trevino to round it out.

148 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 18, 2022 8:42 pm

Another win.

Unearned, but a win nonetheless.

The juggernaut keeps rollin' on.

149 Hank Waddles   ~  May 19, 2022 1:55 pm

At this point I'm always surprised when the bullpen falters, but I'm never surprised when Chad Green falters.

150 Hank Waddles   ~  May 19, 2022 3:40 pm

Wow. Maybe it's not a bad thing for multiple relievers to struggle in the same game. At least it's only one loss.

151 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 21, 2022 10:14 am

I just decided I'm going to zip on over to the Stadium to check out Nestor today. I haven't been to a game in years and I'm excited!

152 rbj   ~  May 21, 2022 10:57 am

Going to be a scorcher out there. I was already sick yesterday from the heat.

153 rbj   ~  May 21, 2022 12:11 pm

Ah, Armed Forces Day.

154 rbj   ~  May 21, 2022 12:47 pm

Yay, Falafel!

155 rbj   ~  May 21, 2022 12:55 pm

Le Machine!

156 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 21, 2022 1:01 pm

At the Stadium. That salami was awesome. The crowd went nuts!

157 rbj   ~  May 21, 2022 1:09 pm

Boo

158 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 21, 2022 1:55 pm

Nestor’s off-speed pitch looks sweet from up here.

159 rbj   ~  May 21, 2022 1:59 pm

Uh oh, no need for that

160 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 21, 2022 2:36 pm

Man.
Somehow we still have the lead, though.
It’s suddenly a ballgame.

161 OldYanksFan   ~  May 21, 2022 2:47 pm

I had a thought:
Next year, they may implement automated Strike/Ball calls.
If so, the whole concept of 'Catcher framing pitches' goes out the window. Certain guys will lose value,and certain guys (like Gary Sanchez) will be on equal footing. Is this a big change to the game... and does that render our Catchers useless????

162 rbj   ~  May 21, 2022 2:57 pm

Wanted more than one there.

163 rbj   ~  May 21, 2022 2:58 pm

[161] interesting thought.

164 rbj   ~  May 21, 2022 3:46 pm

My, how Chapman has fallen.

165 rbj   ~  May 21, 2022 3:50 pm

Nice!

166 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 21, 2022 5:06 pm

[161] I heard someone on MLB radio yesterday talking about the problems with robo calls in the minors. Pitches in the dirt and head high being called strikes because they crossed over the plate. Yikes. I always think about the amazing technology tennis utilizes on close line calls. It happens instantaneously and leaves no doubt as to whether a ball was in or out. WTF can't baseball have something like that?

167 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 21, 2022 6:15 pm

[151] Weeping, I've never been to the NYS, what did you think of it?
[152] When isn't it in MLB?

Catching up on the Josh Donaldson - Tim Anderson kerfuffle. Like to give people fair hearings always, but JD does seem to get into a lot of isht with opposing players..

I'm going full out crazy here.
Hicks has 3.8/$38m left on his contact.
Let some team have him for 3.8/$8m.
He can be moved to a shit team for that.
THEN BRING BACK GARDY.
Even if he has a .600 OPS, his still well above average
speed and defense, and clubhouse presence, make him a better choice than Hicks.
PLUS... I love the guy.
YANKEE FOR LIFE!
Doesn't happen often these days.

169 knuckles   ~  May 21, 2022 10:58 pm

Hicks has been a black hole thus far, but I would far rather have him on the roster for the next 3.75 years than see one more Gardner at bat in pinstripes. Gardner, much as he contributed and spanned Yankee eras, was DONE. He overstayed by a year but thankfully given the Yanks lack of real challenge for a WS, it was not super apparent/important that BG was not a contributor anymore.

Afternoon, Team.

171 rob_smith_51   ~  May 22, 2022 2:42 pm

I am with knuckles, Gardner was a good Yankee for a long time, but having him on the roster makes Boone do stupid things like batting him 1st or 2nd. He was fine when he was batting 9th and playing 1/3rd of games, but he was often batting much earlier and playing a lot more.

172 knuckles   ~  May 22, 2022 4:44 pm

Not impressed by Donaldson if what Anderson says is true.
Green going down is no bueno.

Judge is locked in. Let’s snag this win and the nightcap.

Crazy finish to the English soccer season today. Not sure if anyone here are following.
I root for Man City (Pep is the most inspirational coach I’ve ever seen) and Leeds (my wife is from York), so today was a wild one.

173 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 22, 2022 5:01 pm

Gary Lives! Wtf! Chapman is toast.

174 rob_smith_51   ~  May 22, 2022 5:04 pm

Bad Chapman today. I liked our chances going into the ninth tied.

175 rbj   ~  May 22, 2022 6:13 pm

Good start, Sevy.

176 rbj   ~  May 22, 2022 6:18 pm

Give Judge the money, just not the years. 8 max.

177 rob_smith_51   ~  May 22, 2022 6:46 pm

They can't challenge that?

178 rbj   ~  May 22, 2022 6:48 pm

I guess not.

179 rbj   ~  May 22, 2022 7:02 pm

Hmm, possible Achilles injury for Chapman.

180 rbj   ~  May 22, 2022 7:20 pm

Nasty Sevy!

181 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 22, 2022 7:25 pm

[172] Followed in and off in years past but not recently. Man City with the miracle comeback today is what you mean? Was all over BBC news this morning.

Is Kopeck going to through and perfect game tonight??

182 rbj   ~  May 22, 2022 7:37 pm

Houdiniesque.

How about some runs?

183 rbj   ~  May 22, 2022 7:44 pm

A hit! And now I have to go walk the terrorists.

184 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 22, 2022 7:49 pm

Rbj, me too, my little dauchs has a loose stomach last few days

185 rbj   ~  May 22, 2022 8:05 pm

[184] Ugh. They got some filet mingion tidbits and broccoli a long with their Sunday dinner kibble. Hannah puked three times, on good oriental rugs. Steam cleaning should get the stains out, but I think the heat got to her. I was nauseous all day Friday. 90+ isn’t pleasant.

186 rbj   ~  May 22, 2022 8:27 pm

Le sigh.

187 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 22, 2022 8:27 pm

2 great pitching performances going up in smoke today due to offense going into hibernation mode. Fucking Bollocks!

188 rob_smith_51   ~  May 22, 2022 8:29 pm

12 base runners is bound to blow up at some point.

189 rob_smith_51   ~  May 22, 2022 8:31 pm

Now the number of runs matches up with the base runners.

190 rbj   ~  May 22, 2022 8:32 pm

Well, it’s over. Night all.

191 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 23, 2022 6:15 pm

Evening, Team!

192 rbj   ~  May 23, 2022 6:20 pm

All rise

193 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 23, 2022 6:34 pm

It's amazing how fluid that motherfucker's swing is. And it's like all upper body.

194 rbj   ~  May 23, 2022 7:00 pm

Well, there goes that lead

195 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 23, 2022 7:03 pm

Not a fan of that inning. Yeesh.

196 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 23, 2022 7:05 pm

Brutal.

Truly brutal.

197 rbj   ~  May 23, 2022 7:45 pm

Beautiful, Judge.

198 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 23, 2022 7:45 pm

Here comes The Judge! X2

199 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 23, 2022 7:46 pm

Un-fucking-believable.

Cole is killing us tonight.

Killing us.

203 Boatzilla   ~  May 23, 2022 8:55 pm

Why bring up Andujar and not let him it in this situation? It's mind-numbing.

204 Boatzilla   ~  May 23, 2022 8:59 pm

Bullshit

Gleyber joins the party. Psst, have some guys on base next time

This is all such horse shit.

210 rbj   ~  May 24, 2022 8:31 pm

Um, taking the terrorists out for their last walk shouldn’t invoke a jinx.

211 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 24, 2022 9:05 pm

Oh, goodie. Hix with a chance to win it.

212 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 24, 2022 9:07 pm

He looks like complete garbage swinging right handed. Egads.
