Game 145
What the hell, Verdugo? Why did you swing?
The Yankees were scared and trying to cling
to a one-run lead. It’s clear you could bring
in the tying run if you would just sling
the bat on your shoulder, and yet you fling
it at the first pitch, and we watch you ding
into a double-play, taking the zing
out of our rally. You won’t get a wing
in our Hall of Fame as a Comeback-King
or hear any of our fans stand and sing
your praises because you made that loss sting.
(Not that this game really means anything.)
Has your common sense been blinded by bling?
No need to worry ‘bout adding a ring.

Fighting to stay out of last place is something worthwhile to watch. We have a one game lead over the MFY’s.

Fortunately short of a several team improbable collapse, the Yankees still won’t make the playoffs. That’s all that matters. If we get a better draft position than them that’s fine.

But we will very likely end up in last for another Chaim Bloom special year.

Writing under a tight deadline. Most impressive! Plus it’s spot-on. Kudos!

How long before some troll starts using "Last Place Chaim" as a member name?

“Yankee fans are true baseball fans. Mets’ fans are spectators. Red Sox fans are ticket purchasers.” - Keith McPherson of WFAN. What an asshole.

I don’t hate the Yankees as I once did pre 4 World Series wins this century, but I still suffer the entitled Yankee fandom weekly down here behind enemy lines. While I have a couple friends that are true baseball men and come from baseball families that are lifetime Yankee fans, Yankee fans, the vast majority of which, suck.

If the Red Sox finish in last place behind these clowns I’m gonna be pissed.

TBS used to have all the Braves games.
They should do all the Red Sox ones now. Particularly since we don’t have Orsillo, Remy or Eck on NESN any more

Kutter Crawford doing his thing again. He is not going to make it to the 4th inning.

So are we going to have more than one Quality Starter by the time Bloom's plan all comes together in 2025?

Reading the opening lines I thought of "Sexy Sadie" by the Beatles.
