Game Thread Yankees vs. Athletics Saturday 5/27/17, 1:05 pm

Clippard shits the bed again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Clippard is a steaming pile of Dog Shit.

 

Hopefully Betances can close this out, God Damn Offense stunk again today.

 

Betances saved their asses. Putrid O kept pressure on Yankees pitchers. Clippard folded.
Betances soared with big save.

Yankee offense is in a slump...........9 games in row with low hitting.
Yankees stole this game.

 

Another squeaker.

 

Yep, the Yankees win, Betances came through but they needed a smidgen of luck as well. Note: to Broadcast Crew, this offense is not a "little" back it flat out rots. I'm surprised at O'Neil trying to bullshit the fans, he should know better.

 

Girardi, the ever player supporter,.........."I'll back Clip any time......" on Clippard's performance.
What else does your manager say? I'll say it, Get your SHIT together!

 

Biggie is probably heading to the Buffet after that one.

 

^^^^ lmao, Oxygen brother, breathe, breathe.....

guess we'll have to get sportstwo to host a deep breathing session, before, during and after every game these days.

Now we're two months into the season, looks like the team is stabilizing their flight path. A unbelievable .652 Win Pctg for April, with a .545 win pctg for May, more like we expected of this team.

Still major holes to fill, which obviously won't be addressed unless the team is playoff poised by the trade deadline. Otherwise were going to be watching the Fat Man looking decent, then looking bad over and over 'til the year end. We'll be damned to watch Carter try to hit a ball as pitiful as he is. While we try to sit patiently with long term Hope still: for Bird, Austin, Frazier, a few others in years to come.

Still don't know why Carter's not DFA'd even if the batboy has to play 1st. Or, why in the hell isn't Trashman interested in obtaining premier SP's; or is he waiting to cast his lot for the off seasons Free Agents....???

Patience isn't usually a Yanx Fans best attribute, at least it's not mine, not with the Yanx, I wan't my cake and eat it too, who doesn't....

SP's FA's for 018- I can't recall a year of FA's when most SP's are an avg of 33, as these 25 avgerage out....not always a good thing.

Girardi calls in Bernie Williams, Bernie strikes up a "G" Chord, Girardi starts singing an old '50's Jimmy Bowen Tune

Be bop, I love you baby, Be Bop, I don't mean maybe, Be Bop, I love you baby, I'm sticking with you.

The last line of the song is I'm stuck with you Baby!

Joe, you need to start taking names and kicking ass!
