Stanton Goes Yard 5-4 Yankees

 

I wish someone on the inside of Stanton's homeboy circles, could get him to bite on believing he can still play in the NFL and the NBA.

Someone who can pump him full of shit into thinking he's still a three sport athlete, and would be better off playing any sport other than MLB.

I mean, I am glad he decided to contribute tonight. Who can forget BaBoone ranting how Stanton was going to carry the team back in 2019. We're still waiting for that to happen. He seems to have grown more comfortable in his role as a part-time Glassman. It's highly unlikely Stanton will ever lead the team or the league in anything other than perhaps strikeouts.

2021: 180 at bats, 48 hits with 57 strikeouts.

More than likely his contribution(s) will be that of a part-timer.

Where the hell have all the iron men gone?

I still think Jacoby Ellsbury is masquerading incognito, as the Yankees training director.

 

Gittens gettin' after it!
2 run RBI single.

 

Don't want to overlook Gio's gem dandy defense!

 

I'm not sure what kind of home run swing this was? Shoveling snow, a hockey slap shot, or chopping wood?

 

Cone talking about Drinking again.

 

Imagine Cone calling a game with the lush Harry Carey, and Howard Cosell, who was known to christen booths by vomiting in 'em. No wonder Cosell often was MIA, passed out sloppy drunk long before the 7th inning stretch, and/or passed out by end of Halftime.

Cone's gone silent all the sudden. He must have read your comment Lil'.

 

Yankees win

 

Bring on Peraza along with Florial!
