Alas, here we are again. Opening Day. Yanks vs. Giants.

Funski.

Never mind the long winter: Let’s Go Yank-ees!

Yanks rallied after being down 6-1 last night with the season on the line. Aaron Judge had a great game, the game we’ve been wanting him to have in October for years. They came back and won and it was a jumping joy for Yankee fans.

They’re back at it tonight with the Kid on the mound. Figure he’s got to do better than Fried and Rodón—who knows? Big ask on his shoulders but heck, this is October, and the dude seems to be pretty cool-headed.

Let’s hope Judge and the boys have another strong night.

I loved how Trent Grisham bowed his head and turned to the side when he led off last night’s game with a home run. Good styling.

Many more homers followed. The kid Ben Rice looks so boyish—he must be walking on air, a highly perishable state for sure, but still.

I have to say, the Cone-Girardi-Kay is the smartest and more enjoyable Yankee announcer pairing. .

More tonight.

Git ’em, boys.

Let’s Go Yankees!

Yanks in Pittsburgh this weekend. Started with a “W.” How bout another?

Never mind the drizzle: Let’s Go Yankees!

Cole. Done for the season.

Yow.

Well, the Yanks were sloppy all season and it came back to bite them in agonizing, burn-in-your-brain-forever misery last night.

Surely, this was a Yankee series created by the fantasies of all true Yankee-haters. But our Bombers found cruel and unusual ways to lose this thing. You could call them chokers, but they’ve been sloppy like this all year. They weren’t in Game 6 or Game 7—their mistakes cost them them that chance. We’re left with 4 loses that could have all gone the other way, particularly Game 1 and Game 5.

Yup, nothing but pain and disgust for us Yankee fans.

Dag.

Congrats the Dodgers.

Could be the last game of the year, period. But at least the Yanks have lived to see another day, even if it is tonight.

I couldn’t believe Volpe’s base running gaffe last night. I bellowed and moaned and threw myself off the couch in despair. And then he goes and hits that homer, turns a single into a (lucky) double, steals third, and then beats a throw home on a grounder to second. I’d say a good way to make up for that mistake. Happy for the kid.

Hoping for more good things tonight.

Never mind oblivion:

Let’s Go Yank-ees!

And the hits just kept coming in Game Three. More mistakes, all born of desperation, all too painful to recount here.

Now the Yanks are down 3-0 in this series of sadness.

Nothing to lose now. Go git ’em, boys.

Let’s Go Yank-ees!

Well, that sucked. Did it suck as much as Game 1? No, but it sucked all the same.

They’ve been down 2-0 before. Tonight in the Bronx will have us root-root-rooting for the home team.

Never mind the writing on the wall:

Let’s Go Yank-ees!

Game One was a kick to the crotch loss if there ever was one; much will be forgiven if they manage to swipe a win today and leave L.A. with a split.

Lots to be pissed about but today is a new day.

Never mind the moaning’:

Let’s Go Yank-eees!

Yanks-Dodgers.

Hell, yes.

Yanks arrive in Cleveland up 2-0.

Wonder how they’ll leave town?

Never mind the memory of those little bugs:

Let’s Go Yank-ees!

Alas, here we are again. The Yanks fighting for a pennant. Cleveland looking to get to the Whirled Serious and bring home their first title since 1948.

Never mind nuthin:

Let’s Go Yank-ees!

The Orioles are the team to beat in the AL East. What a difference a few years make, eh?

Let’s Go Yankees!

All’s been relatively quiet on the Hot Stove front. But at least pitchers and catchers report next week.

Youse guys stink. Or some variation is prolly what you’re thinking of our boys these days. And who could blame you?

What we’re seeing right now is depressing, ain’t it?

What with all the activity in December, January is a decidedly less dramatic month for the Hot Stove.

What’s keeping you warm?

The Hot Stove is simmering.

Tonight gives the 2022 MVP awards…

Rizzo returns.
