"A New York Treasure" --Village Voice

Take Two

Wow, the Rays showed some stellar pitching in Game 1. So did the Yanks, though they came up short.

Tonight gives Cam.

Never mind the dome—Let’s Go Yankees!

Oh good, we’re gonna give Tampa five outs this inning.

Posted this on the last thread, but I'll add it here too: Hey, y'all, long time no see. This web server was running into some memory problems today, so I've played around with tweaking some settings and stuff to make it more resilient. It may need a memory upgrade eventually, but until then, I've added some monitoring stuff so if the site gets stuck, it should restart the web server automatically within a minute or so. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Yanks need to be tweaked

5 jaynek   ~  Oct 5, 2026 7:44 pm

oh new thread!

6 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2026 7:45 pm

I hate the trop. I hate the rays. I hate our defense in the first inning. This sucks.

7 jaynek   ~  Oct 5, 2026 7:46 pm

good play!

8 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2026 7:46 pm

[3] Hey, Ken! Thank you so much! Can you please help with the Yankees’ infield defense, hitting skills, and baserunning? ; )

9 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2026 7:49 pm

What the fuck was that? Can’t believe they didn’t score. Yikes

10 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2026 7:52 pm

C’mon, Cam - get it together. The body language on the Yankees is fucking awful.

11 jaynek   ~  Oct 5, 2026 7:55 pm

ok, as these things could go that's lucky to get out with one run still.

12 jaynek   ~  Oct 5, 2026 7:55 pm

I remain concerned about the limit of swing and miss. Not a lot of that so far.

13 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2026 7:56 pm

I was lamenting the same thing. He’s not putting anyone away…

14 jaynek   ~  Oct 5, 2026 7:58 pm

[13] he threw a lot of pitches last outing so I went into tonight a bit worried he wouldn't be at his best.

15 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2026 8:04 pm

Absolutely fucking pathetic. Cabby should have been playing 3rd tonight…

16 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2026 8:07 pm

Of course they get the leadoff man on. FUCK!

17 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2026 8:09 pm

Base hits? What are those?

18 stormer   ~  Oct 5, 2026 8:12 pm

Let's gooooooo!

19 jaynek   ~  Oct 5, 2026 8:13 pm

alright! got out of another jam. He ain't pitching deep into this game.

20 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2026 8:16 pm

We’ve had one base hit in 15 innings, which yielded us ZERO baserunners.

21 jaynek   ~  Oct 5, 2026 8:18 pm

RICE!!

22 knuckles   ~  Oct 5, 2026 8:18 pm

Tie ballgame. LFG.

23 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2026 8:18 pm

FUCK YEAH, BENNY BABY!!! Now, Trop Is LOUD! I knew there had to be a ton of Yankee fans there.

24 jaynek   ~  Oct 5, 2026 8:18 pm

I was definitely guilty of celebrating long before that landed

25 jaynek   ~  Oct 5, 2026 8:19 pm

and another hit!

26 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2026 8:19 pm

The asshole trumper couldn’t catch that Belli liner!

27 jaynek   ~  Oct 5, 2026 8:20 pm

[26] glad you are up on everyone's politics haha. Gosh I hate MAGA.

28 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2026 8:22 pm

I love how Spencer is (somehow) a speed demon!

29 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2026 8:23 pm

[27] Unfortunately, Wells & Weathers are too… (vomit emoji)

30 Ken Arneson   ~  Oct 5, 2026 8:23 pm

These days, since I now work for Weather Applied Metrics, which provides weather data to MLB, I really only can help with weather-related stuff. That's hard to do at the Trop, unfortunately. Although DeLuca's double in the 2nd that hit the wall would have been a homer if it had been 3 degrees Fahrenheit warmer inside the dome, so maybe I helped there, since he didn't end up scoring.

31 stormer   ~  Oct 5, 2026 8:23 pm

HR by Big Ben and Spencer legging it out. I like our chances in this one. Hopefully the energy has shifted.

32 Ken Arneson   ~  Oct 5, 2026 8:24 pm

Should have added a [8] to that last comment, oops, I'm out of practice here.

33 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2026 8:27 pm

No worries! I can’t do the numbering system when I’m on my phone. Last week was about the first time I was back here all season. So glad the lights are still on - thank you!

34 jaynek   ~  Oct 5, 2026 8:28 pm

Yes thanks for keeping the lights on for sure!

35 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2026 8:28 pm

That looks like Cam!

36 jaynek   ~  Oct 5, 2026 8:28 pm

hmm, some swing and miss in back to back at bats. Hope that's a sign...

37 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2026 8:29 pm

1-2-3 frame!

38 stormer   ~  Oct 5, 2026 8:29 pm

Exactly. Don't think I've been here since the early 2000s. Give it up to the banter boys! Can't believe it's still going.

39 jaynek   ~  Oct 5, 2026 8:29 pm

[38] and girl... :)

40 jaynek   ~  Oct 5, 2026 8:29 pm

Nice to see you stormer!

41 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2026 8:31 pm

I remember when you were Stormer Sports!

42 stormer   ~  Oct 5, 2026 8:33 pm

(39) if you knew what I do for a living you would know how embarrassed I am. Sorry.

43 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2026 8:33 pm

Stormer - the last thread was a lot busier and more tag names you’d recognize. I figured it’d be packed here today. I’ll be teaching Wed night and won’t make it until the last hour or so…

44 stormer   ~  Oct 5, 2026 8:34 pm

(40) you too! And I see names here I saw in 2004, nice!

45 jaynek   ~  Oct 5, 2026 8:34 pm

[42] no worries. just a reminder I'm here too!

46 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2026 8:35 pm

STAY AT SECOND!!

47 jaynek   ~  Oct 5, 2026 8:35 pm

[46] haha I yelled that out loud!

48 stormer   ~  Oct 5, 2026 8:36 pm

Thelarmis - I think it was Stormer Sports. I believe the email I used was long gone and had to create a new profile.

49 stormer   ~  Oct 5, 2026 8:36 pm

I remember jaynek!

50 jaynek   ~  Oct 5, 2026 8:37 pm

That hit the bat anyhow

51 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2026 8:38 pm

Time to atone

52 stormer   ~  Oct 5, 2026 8:38 pm

Peralta..... Getting tired .... Let's go!

53 knuckles   ~  Oct 5, 2026 8:40 pm

The home team pitcher getting booed in his own ballpark for stepping off and looking at the baserunner is terrific.

54 jaynek   ~  Oct 5, 2026 8:40 pm

all of that pitch count info on Peralta was meaningless when they pull him with 60 pitches.

55 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2026 8:40 pm

I thought the same thing, knuckles!
