Aaron Judge!!

[whippoorwill]

He's getting close and he's clean!

[Frayed Knot]

He's getting close ... To what?

and he's clean! ... as far as we know

[whippoorwill]

You know what.. you can't not know

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

He'll never cleanse the Yankee taint from his soul.

[Edgy MD]

This reads like Aaron Judge is outside cooby's window.

[whippoorwill]

Hey he's a ball player

[whippoorwill]

Got it!

[Ceetar]

7th!



In Yankee Stadium!



With a billion plate appearances!

[Lefty Specialist]

Thank god that's over. We now rejoin our normal Yankee-hating, which is already in progress.

[Ceetar]

It amuses me that they're pretending it's over too, pulled him from the game. No desire to try to climb the list at all. (he also has like a billion more PA than McGwire or Bonds)

[whippoorwill]

Were you guys this rough on Hank Aaron?

[smg58]

Oh, the look on Yankee fans' faces when he signs with us six minutes after free agency starts...

[Edgy MD]

I'm not looking for that.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I wouldn't be opposed to it, but I don't expect it to happen. But there's probably going to be a lot of roster churn this winter, with all of the pending free agents, so I guess anything can happen. I wouldn't have expected Scherzer either.

Great player, immediately solves problem with lack of right handed power in DH spot, costs nothing in prospects.



Seems like a good fit to me!

[kcmets]

Good for Judge, got nothing against him except he reminds me of Lurch.



But fuck Michael Kay, and him getting to put his parasitic stamp on such

a big moment in our New York lives. It's been Maris my whole life, now it's

Judge (and Kay.) Yuck, I need to go use some Purell...

[Edgy MD]

The Mets are poised to enter the playoffs in pursuit of a title. I view Judge the way I do all non-Met players — as just another highly suspicious figure trying to impose himself between my team and their destiny. He doesn't care about immediately solving my problems. If he did, he'd be over here doing yardwork or some light plumbing for me.

He's been hogging the back pages, to the detriment of the Tabloid Cover Derby.

=Ceetar post_id=110050 time=1664996890 user_id=102]It's been Bonds for 21 years, so..

[Ceetar]

who cares about the Yankees*?

[kcmets]

He plays for the Yankees, he broke a Yankee record. It's a Yankee thread.

Who cares about Barry Bonds is a better question for this topic.

[kcmets]

I didn't bring him up, re-read and ask the guy who did please.

[Ceetar]

There's no such thing as a "Yankee thread" on a Mets forum. Everything is a baseball topic through a Mets lens, and my lens is "Fuck Roger Maris and Aaron Judge, Barry Bonds hit 73 in fewer PA"

I have no issues, and I'm not going to play games with either of you.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Well you have something, if you don't want to call it an issue. It's definitely some kind of gripe, if not "an issue". But now we're playing games. Whatever.

[kcmets]

Well, I guess Michael Kay was my small issue. And I was fine to leave it at that.

Until someone brought up Bonds* in a thread about a guy who broke a 61 year

HR record. It's really not that hard to 'get' if you go back and re-read.



That's all you get, so make it last.
