    Everyone should make sure that they’re drunk by 7:03 and have a TV guide on hand to find something else to watch, because with Paxton pitching, this one figures to be over quickly. Thankfully we have tomorrow to go to the store and stock up on alcohol for this series. Oh....and we should all send our liquor bills to Cashman with a “Fuck you” note.

    I gotta COSTCO Truck dropping off Pallets and I had to rent a forklift to haul all this stuff. Got a Years worth to cover 4 days, and I don't even drink...

    Lloyd Bridges in Airplane said- "boy I picked a bad day to quit drinking". Boy, I picked a great time to start drinking...

    I hired Dog the Bounty Hunter to deliver my bill to that cocksucker Trashman...

    Cashman did nothing at trade deadline, even worse Steinbrenner doing nothing about Cashman doing nothing. Granted the Houston Team took action to improve their lot. And if players have no trade clause to the Yankees I get it. In the case of Greinke though I recall many on the old ESPN Boards saying Greinke would never cut it in New York. We are all aware of the importance of pitching but there are too many MLB "experts" just handing the World Series to LA or Houston. No one has won anything yet. The '01 Mariners won 116 Games, took 6 of 9 from the Yankees but lost their asses in the playoffs. Remember Lou Pinellas famous line "there will be a game 6, never happened. The '17 Yankees took Cleveland in the ALCS and my belief was that Cleveland had a better staff. Getting sick of hearing about Varlander as well, the Giants cleaned his plow in game one with Sandoval making Verlander his bitch. Do I think the Yankees can win, I see a lot of potholes on the Yankees Road. Cashman got his ass in hot water by failing to address the pitching situation prior to season start. Another big 0 to the Medical & Fitness Staff for all the people riding the sick books. The General Manager is akin to a Military Company, Field, or Flag Officer. Responsible for all his unit does or fails to do.

    Since pitching is still 75% of the game of baseball even with all the analytics determining who plays
    against which pitcher, the Yankees GM determines who plays and who doesn’t and the puppet manager
    just follows suit. By season’s end the Yankee bullpen will only flourish in the Trashman’s garbage disposal.
    BoSux will be coming into the Bronx possibly being swept by the Rays at home; should be a wild time with
    the BoSux and Yankees hitting batting practice pitches the whole weekend.

    Dombrowsi say Boston must play better with what they have. Sox fans probably not happy with that assessment, even more pissed after Tampa sweeps Boston at Fenway. Cashner was the game three looser, Yankees failed against that guy in Boston after kicking his ass twice in Baltimore. Tampa teed off on his ass. I'm just hoping that the Yankees can hold serve looking ahead at the pitching by getting 2 of 4.

    Outlandish opinions do not matter anymore in sports. Zack Britton breaks ice and proclaims that this
    Yankees team is better than every team in the major leagues. I wonder how this comment comes back
    and bites this team in the ass! Things must really be boring in the Yankee bullpen.

    Saw that Britton comment, pot calling the kettle black, thus far this season Britton has shown nothing in his job performance. Win first then talk trash.

    LeMahieu and Urshela have shown to be clutch. Gardner may have a lollipop arm but I'm glad he's out there, dude can catch out there. Judge needs to get his offense out of the crapper. Paxton, all we can do is pray.
