What does smugness and entitlement smell like?

This "Older Jewish fan" remembers.
If you were a kid with dark skin or wearing a yarmulke the guards at the original YS wouldn't let you go down to better seats toward the end of a game, even in a mostly emptied out ballpark. Yet they always seemed to be looking the other way when other kids did it. And it happened way more then once.
And that's part of the reason why I rooted for Brooklyn.

Maybe they're finally trying to atone.

Snowed out opener

[Centerfield]

Lolol. Alvarez grand slam drops the MFYs in 14.

Like I said all winter long, the Mets are going to kick ass in’18 while the Yankees will be lucky to finish .500.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

That was great. Yankees should have win in 11 but an incredible play and a dumb slide prevented it

I never thought the Os would come back and win once the MFYs tied the game at 3-3. Against Chapman (8th or 9th inning) with two runners on base, the two players who batted looked like Morty and Ferdie, your neighborhood pizza delivery guys.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

MFYs knocked out the O's starter Wright in the first inning and led 5-0, but just lost 8-7 in 12 innings, so the O's took 3 of 4 at MFY Stadium.

The Yanks loaded the bases on 2 walks and a misplayed sac bunt in the 12th, so had bases loaded, no out and Judge and Stanton due up. Judge 1-2-5 DP, Stanton (0-7) whiffed for the 5th time in the game to end it.

[Frayed Knot]

Once I saw the early score (5-2 in the 4th when I first checked) I just wrote this one off, honed in on the golf, and never checked back.
Just seeing the result here for the first time.


oe: And while it's probably too early to be playing scoreboard in the AL East, at the same time I was ignoring the Yanx I was also ignoring the Sawx/Rays game after briefly peeking in on it (MLBN)
Boston was down 7-2 in the 7th before getting six straight 2-out hits in the 8th [Double - Single - Double - Single - Wild Pitch - Double - Single] then shut the door in Top-9 to win 8-7

That opens up a 3.5 game gap after less than two weeks: Yanx [5-5] -- Sawx [8-1].
Again, it's too early for all this but ... just sayin'.



On further edit, I'd be remiss if I didn't emphasize HOLY SHIT!!!! to this:

I mean, blowing the initial lead is bad enough, but then to have an almost guaranteed tie at worst, and a win likely, slip away in that fashion ... well, all I can say is, HOLY SHIT!!!!

Has anybody [crossout]wanted[/crossout] tried to revive Suzyn Waldman yet?

I'm embarrassed by this Conforto blow-around

I know JUST what to get her engine revving again.

Oh my goodness gracious!

[Ceetar]

So the Yankees

Many salivated over the home run totals. Preaching Maris and Mantle, shattering records. The team record seemed almost a given. (they're well short to date)
They play in a tiny park.
One home run wins an extra inning game at home.
the Orioles are not good.
The ball is juiced. It's a historic home run era.


It's almost impossible to lose two extra inning games like that right? With 10 last-licks?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Incredibly difficult. They could have played that Friday game 100 times and won it 99 of them just on all the ways this could have gone wrong.

On top of all that they lost CC (hip), Sanchez (calf) and Drury (migraines) to injury.

Is this really what happened? LOLOLOL.

[Lefty Specialist]

Lotta Yankee fans grumbling in their Maypo this morning. Wonder if they've started an Aaron Boone Hot Seat watch.

[Centerfield]

They should really trade Stanton to us, pay his salary and take Jay Bruce. Jay strikes out less.

Dammit MFYs, stop being classy: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/14/sports/yankees-police-.html?rref=collection%2Fsectioncollection%2Fsports&action=click&contentCollection=sports&region=rank&module=package&version=highlights&contentPlacement=1&pgtype=sectionfront

As of today, May 14, these are still the only three road wins Baltimore has for the season.

Rudy Guiliani showed up at YS III today.
Its his birthday.
He got booed.

I've never felt empathy with Yankee fans before.

[Centerfield]

Agreed. Just goes to show you that there are things all of us can agree on.

[Edgy MD]

Well, I'm a fan.

Assholes, he gift wrapped that stadium for them.

Aaron Judge, batted nine times in yesterday's doubleheader, and struck out eight.

[Ceetar]

Yankees are starting a 23 year old prospect with only 25 IP above A, with a 4.32 ERA in AA this season on Thursday.

Yeah, it's the Rays, but like.. that's their best option? And they didn't want Matt Harvey?

[Edgy MD]

Maybe they did, but didn't offer any compensation up to the Mesoraco level. Or maybe they did offer talent that was just as good or better, but the Mets were hesitant, thinking that if Harvey found his way back to his north star, they didn't want him doing it cross-town.

I'm sure they'd've overpaid for top shelf Matt Harvey.

Anyhow, the Mets needed a catcher and got one.

well sure, but this is the Yankees thread and I wanted to throw out a little ribbing. It'd be really fun to see them go on a 20-40 slide where they lose a bunch of games 9-6.
