[yankeesince59]

“In our sun-down perambulations, of late, through the outer parts of Brooklyn, we have observed several parties of youngsters playing base, a certain game of ball...Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms...the game of ball is glorious.”


―Walt Whitman 1846

...Lil, I just realized that you always do the game thread...didn't mean to steal your thunder...my bad.

Nope, you already did my dirty work. Now it's time to sit back and enjoy the show.

It is February 24 and the temps in New York City area will reach 70 degrees and I am wearing shorts and my Yankees
will take the field in Florida in a few hours. Will miracles ever cease.
Don't you just love climate change? Oh, next week we're getting a snowstorm!......maybe.
But my Yankees will still be playing baseball. Thank you.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Ellsbury MIA today, must have stubbed his toe. Other than Headley the rest of the lineup looks OK. Judge, the man is big enough to hunt bears with a switch, pulling for him to get it together.

It's absolutely gorgeous out in NYC today, just took a walk and now grab some snacks and finally get to watch Baseball. Cage, I didn't hear about a Snowstorm do tell.

You know what Michael, I didn't even realize he wasn't in the Lineup. Probably a Hangnail.

...Sunny here today and it's supposed to get up to 82...on the tractor with shorts and no shirt harrowing the 15 acre field behind our house...time for some sun on my pale and winterized skin.

...nope, according to The Onion's official injury report, Ellsbury is absent today because of a sprained vagina.

Knowing how crazy March weather is in the Northeast, forecasters predicting snow is not out of the question!

 

[cagedlion]

You know, I tried to explain to a friend that Yankee baseball makes me feel like a kid again.......my period of rejuvenation.
Just like Spring, watching &/or listening to Yankee baseball is my rebirth of life....he just doesn't get it.....sad that not everyone gets it.

 

[Lillie]

No more reality shows for me. Baseball has always been my favorite sport. Even if the Yankees suck I still can't help myself.

 

[cagedlion]

^^^^^Life is hard enough; cannot stomach reality TV. Baseball saves you. LOL

BTW, Didi breaks the ice. Good guys up 1-0.

 

[Lillie]

Way to go Doo Doo.

 

[Majorball]

Judge with a Bomb

 

[yankeesince59]

^^^that ball was only a couple of feet from clearing the scoreboard.

 

[Lillie]

That was a bomb. Did they say how many feet??? Time to take Montgomery out.

 

[cagedlion]

I'm outside watchin the game and having a couple ice cold beers. Life is good.....and I can't believe it's
February! AHHHHHHHHHHH!

Hey, ya think Yanks got power? YOU BETCHA!

 

[Lillie]

Too early for Cocktails. My better half will be home in about an hour. If he catches me hitting the bottle already he will have a fit.

 

[cagedlion]

...nope, according to The Onion's official injury report, Ellsbury is absent today because of a sprained vagina.

Ron, interesting. I wonder if Trump would touch that?LOL

 

[Lillie]

Actually I heard his wife just had a baby and he was late to report to camp.

 

[cagedlion]

Great beginning. 9-4 victory. The kids look terrific. Headley as always is consistent......consistently sucks. What a horrible
contract. Despite Headley's consistency, these Yankees are all about the kids.

Family first. End of story.

Shit, I should have remembered that, the high price of pussy.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Nice to see the Judge show up in court and pass sentence!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[yankeesince59]

Ron, interesting. I wonder if Trump would touch that?LOL

...lol...."just reach out and grab 'em by the pussy".


...Lil, on behalf of myself and the other guys on this board I apologize for the foul language...but I'm sure you already knew that "men are pigs".

 

[yankeesince59]

...^^^ Fixed it for you...lol.

I once told you guys I have a foul mouth too. I drop the F-Bomb about 50 times a day among other choice words. So feel free to post away.
