A win is needed. No excuses.

 

[yankeesince59]

...if they don't win at least 2 of 3 from Cleveland, Yanx fans will lose their minds.

 

[Messiah717]

For shiz!

 

[Rick2583]

...if they don't win at least 2 of 3 from Cleveland, Yanx fans will lose their minds.

Especially if the Jays take 2 of 3 or better from the A's.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Yankees face a pretty good pitcher tonight, at least we can root for Severino to do well and for that sad sack offense to get him some runs. The Yankees really need to sweep up there anything less is not acceptable. The A's should be swept but this game is strange at times.

 

[cagedlion]

Severino is reason for me to watch this game. Just hope
offense gets some runs. Let's see if 'Bump' Teixeira leads
the way!

 

[Yankeefan5545]

"Bump" that is a keeper nickname for Tex.

 

[Messiah717]

Tex better realize quick the New York fans don't buy nonsense like that.

 

[Rick2583]

That BUMP in the road he talked about was more like a massive sink-hole.

 

[Messiah717]

At least Jaws was on AMC again last night and now again this afternoon. What's funny is that even after seeing it a hundred times I always pick up a new line.

 

[yankeesince59]

Smile you son of a bitch.

I'm not going to waste my time arguing with a man who's lining up to be a hot lunch.

Boys, oh boys... I think he's come back for his noon feeding.

Quint that doesn't prove a damn thing!

 

[Rick2583]

Gotta love those old Jaws references.

 

[yankeesince59]

Quint that doesn't prove a damn thing!

...well it proves you smart college boys don't know enough to admit when you're wrong.

 

[Messiah717]

When he runs you let go of that rope or you'll lose your hands. I've seen fingers torn from the knuckles. Old sailor's homes full of them.

 

[Messiah717]

So we have to deal with Drew and Ryan in the lineup tonight because Headley claims he's a little banged up. I really question the heart of this team right now.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Headley is another overpriced piece of Cashmans plan. Bump has bailed that clown out of many bad throws this season. Severino is probably pleased the Headley is on the bench.

...Headley's contract is terrible, and yet another in a long list of Cashman deals...the only negotiation tools Cashman knows is to over-pay and over-extend and give NTCs and opt out clauses....shrewd and smooth operator that Cashman.

...hey, watch it !..."you can insult but you can't assault".

 

[Rick2583]

...hey, watch it !..."you can insult but you can't assault".

Except in the case of Cashman where you could do both.

 

[yankeesince59]

...I wonder if Yankee fans were polled about what they'd do if they were given the opportunity to meet Cashman, how many of them would say, "I'd punch his lights out".

...but as much as I complain about Cashman I do realize that ultimately the blame lies with the Steins...after all, they're the ones who reward him for his ineptness by giving him 3 more years to correct the mess he'd already created himself.

Cashman will get another chance to see what the prospects are made of and what can be done with the large sums of big contract cash that starts coming off the books the next couple of years.

 

[Messiah717]

1-0 Indians already in the first. The kid put himself in trouble as with a man on he hit a batter on an 0-2 pitch.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Willie Nelson is tuning up his guitar and on hand in case he has to sing "Turn out the lights, the party's over"

 

[cagedlion]

Is Cone trying to prepare us that these Yankees could
lose to a pitcher like Carrasco? Already down 0-1 after
one.

The "runless" monitor: Now it's 28 innings without a run
after one & one half in Cleveland.

This broadcasting team is going to make me mute the television.

 

[mrmel29]

Need our two table setters on top to start setting the friggin table already

I was thinking the EXACT same thing, I'm almost tempted to mute the TV & turn on the Radio with Sterling & his puppet........................NO!......I can't.
