  1. The 1978 team won the World Series. I'm perfectly fine with them blowing a 20 game lead if they win it all in the end.
  2. Sounds good!
  3. There should also be a 'hitting clock', or at least some kind of rule that stop hitters from messing with their batting gloves 697 times each time they step off. Get over yourselves and hit the damn ball!
  4. Phil Hughes was frustrating.
  5. It was one bad inning. He's been nothing short of reliable, and at a cheaper price than most starters out there.
  6. Are you alright man? This doesn't sound like you 😂
  7. "Guardians" 🤮
  8. Now that is truly annoying.
  9. Agree. And he's quietly been one of the more reliable starters the Yankees have had for the past years.
  10. I'm willing to bet that some sucker is going to give him the money he wants. I'm placing my bet on the Mets. Edit: I just checked. Only 13 more years of paying Bobby Bonilla over 1.2M a year.
  11. How would Paxton be an improvement?
  12. A pessimist thinks: 'This can't get any worse' An optimist thinks: 'Oh, yes it can' That's how I feel about the Yankees in times like these.
  13. Maybe they can bring Wade back. But he will surely have other teams interested.
  14. Thames was also the hitting coach when they had pretty good hitting seasons, just a couple of years ago. A bunch of players underperformed this year at the plate. I don't think that's all Thames' fault. It's either a panic move or an entire change in their hitting philosphy. I agree with letting Nevin go. They just sucked on the basepaths.
  15. When said cheating leads directly to World Series rings, I think that puts it in a different level than league-wide steroid abuse, which was sort of a worst kept secret by everyone involved, including MLB officials. You could argue and say that it's all cheating, but I don't think they're exactly the same thing.
  16. Meaning what?
  17. People who can't do basic math don't bother me.
  18. A few days ago the Yankees signed Sal Romano to a one-year contract. Now they release him? Am I the only one who finds this weird?
  19. I'm glad I'm rebuilding a house and I don't have the energy to stay up until midnight to watch this horror show of a season. I almost miss the days when Nix was a starter for the Yankees.
  20. I am so glad I have been dealing with moving to a different house and doing renovations this season. I haven't watched a game in ages. Instead of going to bed depressed, I only get depressed as I sip my morning coffee and see the scores from the previous night. I never thought I'd be thankful for all this rubble, dust and everything else that comes with rebuilding a house...
  21. Um... who?!
  22. Baseball is weird isn't it? 3 triple plays in one season!
  23. Great stuff as always. Regarding Jeter's 'Flip play', I read a bunch of times that Jeter was supposed to be where he was, and that he was actually late to get there. Supposedly that's how they played such a situation and they had practiced it all the way back to spring training of that year.
  24. A guy emigrated from Senegal to Portugal about a decade and a half ago, to become a soccer player. Because he was as good at soccer as I am at being a rocket scientist, he eventually focused on other things. He got scholarships, food and board from the Portuguese government. He, of course, became involved with politics. Naturally said politics are of the Marxist persuasion. Evidently, somewhere along the way, he got Portuguese citizenship and he became the leader and most outspoken person in an organization called 'SOS Racism', which is there to prevent and call out acts of racism. And of course he had numerous other political 'jobs' for which he is of course handsomely paid with taxpayer money. He makes it his mission to label my country as racist. Our monuments are racist. Recently dead war-heroes are 'war criminals who do not deserve respect (mind you, this was our most decorated soldier, and he was African-Portuguese). He referred to our Police Department as 'those shit cops'. Everyone who disagrees with him is obviously a fascist. I mean... this guy came from another country, was feed and taught by our state, gained citizenship... but we're racist?! Like in every other country, there is racism here and there. But this guy is the living picture that Portugal, as a whole, is the exact opposite. So yeah, he keeps fostering the idea that we indeed are racist and oppressive. Otherwise he'd lose his cushy job as head of 'SOS Racism'. Just to keep things in persepective: Our most celebrated athlete before there was a Cristiano Ronaldo, was for years Eusébio, who came from Mozambique. As do many of our most beloved athletes. Our justice minister is black. Our prime minister is of Indian ancestry. Our most decorated solider came from Guinea-Bissau. What am I missing here?!
  25. I just read what I wrote. Man, was I angry... Happy holidays everyone!
