    There is nothing clutch about this Yankee lineup.. First & second with one out in 7th inning...
    and zilch on the board. And they haven’t even seen their best relievers, other than Trivino.

    Can’t watch Stanton biting on pitches in the dirt....it’s as if he does not know the
    strike zone.

    Yankees can make it interesting all game long, but somebody has to get a hit for that to
    happen.

    Stanton has pretty much gone dead the last 10 game hows that for picking up his team. Men on base in ywo consecutive innings and all the Yankee hitters can do is fucking strike out.

    Yankees have a total of 4 hits. That’s what good pitching does. I guess it does not matter whether they play
    good or bad teams, they are in a hitting funk. Looks like they will go out quietly. Game is
    mercifully over (even before it’s over!).

    Getting tired of these people apologizing for the injured players. Fact, they are available for the games you need to play and win today, get fucking over it. Of course for Cahman it's another scapegoat behind Boners poor management that gives him job security. Wasn't there a thing called the Peter Principle, promote to the level of incompetence.

    Is this the same as "Taylor Ham". My Wife's relatives from Maine, Boston (unfortunately) and our Son in Jersey often send Taylor Ham out to us. Tho' I noticed the last batch was simply labeled Pork Roll.

    Only thing I like better is Cajun Sausage.

    Note: the only legit "Cajun Sausage" can ONLY be found in Luzianna. One literally has to order it from a Luzianna bucherie and fly it in. Every freaking state I've been to that has supposed Cajun Sausage, is simply fooling themselves....and Louisiana Hot Links are a joke...

    I am watching Jacob DeGrom pitch, without his best stuff & toughing it out, against the LA Dodgers. He’s only given up 2 hits. Point being.....his worst performance(109 pitches in 6) for him, there is not one Yankee starter & that includes Severino whose best performance would not match up with DeGrom...every 5 day starts.Wow. Wish the Yankees had this kid in their system. Just saying

    It is a pleasure to watch a starter, though not at his best, throw 2 hit baseball & keep his
    team in the game.

    Amen, only wish the Mets would of been reasonable in a trade for deGrom. But in their distorted eyes, that was reasonable...

    Game Recap -

    Yanx with 11 SO's and 4 Hits.
    A's with 10 SO's and 10 Hits
    Yanx with 1 Hit in the 5th, and not one hit thereafter...

    Yanx have looked tired in the dog daze of Aug and now Sept...
    Whatever happened to the saying: Looking Tight-??

    A's Win Pctg:
    April .520
    May .517
    June .630
    July .680
    Aug .667


    Yanx Win Pctg:
    April .667
    May .640
    June .667
    July .600
    Aug .567


    We can't use the DL as an excuse:
    A's have 6 Pitchers on the DL, (2 with TJ, 1 w/Rotator Cuff, 2 are designated to return by mid-Sept)??

    A's were 11.5 back, now 2.5 behind Houston

    Whoever would of guessed a kid who wasn't on the roster Opening Day, and not from S/W-Barre, would be our 1st Baseman.

    Wonder when the Bird experiment will come to a close?
    Close HR's only count in Horse Shoes, and X________
