As my main man Larry fishburn once said...."well, sometimes you gotta cut a muthafucka"

I don’t know a thing about working out or physical fitness or being a top notch athlete.

the last time I played baseball was 12 years ago.. I played in the mbl league in Manhattan/Bronx/Brooklyn/Queens....AA division. Filled with former professional ball players and/or college studs some guys even spent time in the show. Guys throw 90 plus with filthy breaking balls. Wooden bats only.

5th game of the year...I’m facing a tough lefty that played in the pirates organization. I hate lefty’s to begin with...one because I am left handed and you don’t see them much. The first pitch he locks me up with a sick curveball. Threw it again for a ball. Then another for a ball. I knew what was coming next. I barreled up a fastball. But there was rain earlier that day and my spikes got caught in the muddy dirt in the batters box. I felt my knee pop out and move..then another pop and I was on the ground screaming...dislocated knees and torn mcl.

i haven’t played since.

so if these guys can get hurt...even in their physical condition, I feel bad for them.

they want to be out there...shit happens 

Never. Elite under 30 players will always get huge long term contracts. It’s the only way to retain them.

They have to depth and offense to still be a contender....but this hurts....and Paxton is good for another trip to the il when he returns. Hopefully tanaka can stay healthy and productive

I guess you can't blame the current training and medical staff...they weren't hired until January. 

But the yankees history with players injuries is awful. They seem to wait too long to have their players diagnosed and operated on. 

It wouldn't have mattered with severino this year....he would still be out for all of 2020...but he got hurt in the playoffs...had pain all offseason and didn't catch the tear until 2 weeks into spring training? Sheesh

Keeping the staff together along with personnel is very important. Hardly any team that has a new staff, many new players..whether young guys  drafted or veterans acquired from another team, seem to do well.

it takes more than two years...especially with the turnover of roster players along with coaches. Gettleman should know that. Maybe he finally got the right staff..now it’s about developing the young players and keeping the team together so they grow together. And know each other well. They can get in sync.

Is it possible Mason Rudolph did nothing wrong?  Myles Garrett doesn’t sound like a black name plus he’s really into poetry

Yeah...maybe Rudolph said nothing and Garrett was just angry over a discussion about William Butler Yeats being overrated and it spilled onto the field where ye took it out on rudolph?

Could have happened

I think they want to avoid any further racial nonsense - after Trump's hosrseshit and the whole Karpernick saga. Garrett was suspended and has been reinstated, Rudolph is a fucking MAGA douche bag - they just want this to die and not rake up anything further. Its possible this could be buried from people much higher up maybe even the govt.

I cant tell if youre being sarcastic or not. Either way, its funny.

If I could get one day of my youth back...say 18...it would be to play baseball again....how fucked up is that? Everyone could still hit and throw pretty good ...but running....not so much....

I played into my 40s in a senior league but after I I throw a guy out from center ...at first base after he trying to leg out a two hop single to me...and I got balled out by my coach "We dont throw people out at first from the outfield in this league...it is considered bad form"....I had to quit. It just wasnt baseball. ...and it really sucked when I knew it was gone.

Now my son is too old to play ball with....but I am a grandpa now....(did I tell you that...its a kick in the ass)....her name is Francis...we call her Franc...and while she is only 6 months old and doesn't know it yet...but she is going to be a great fast pitch softball player as soon as I figure out to teach someone to hit an underhand rising fastball

Congratulations. I didn’t know you were a grandfather. That’s marvelous!!! Must be so fun to spoil the shit out of her!

my daughter is graduating grad school this year. And if she decides to get her ph.d then she won’t be having a kid any time soon. But I’d love a granddaughter and grandson.

I was wild as hell.....i was too good for Manhattan little Leaguers...i used to play in the summer in staten Island...went ti the llws....would have won the whole thing if the rules didnt allow you to have a pitcher pitch on consecutive days with no off days.

We had a future major League all star thst was untouchable in ll...he was a man amongst boys. We finished second. We lost because i pitched against the California team in the semifinals....calinfornia went on to beat the Japanese in the title game and we slaughtered Canada in the losers round.

I tossed 5 innings of 3 run ball...9k's 5hbp...4 walks..one hit...bases loaded single scored all their runs off me.

We lost 5-3. 

Jason marquis went a complete game shutout against canada...15 strike outs.

He would have shut out cali...i was a risk starting that game but all our other pitchers weren't eligible.

Its a ridiculous justification for assault 2...a class c felony in nyc...an eager, aggressive young hotshot prosecutor might even look for an attempted murder indictment. Anywhere from a 3-9 for a 10 to 20. Assault 2 is maxim sentence of 12 years i believe.  

Anyway, it happened, it was ugly, immature and reckless. No-one was hurt luckily. Lets move on. Its a violent sport with strong men who many have had difficult home lives and have anger issues. Especially race related anger...from both black and white players and personnel.

Get over it...move on. The nfl lets wife beaters and murderers play and go to the hof. Get over it. Nobody was hurt

You all know how i feel about this. 

If he becomes a ufa, whenever that may be, and he is still under 28, the giants better back up the brinks truck and sign him. Buy him a few very young, eastern European kidnapping/forced into slavery victims to woo him if that's what it takes...fuck it...buy a White GUY and let him kill that white guy.  Just sign him.

They play a violent game. God forbid it gets too violent. 

Pussies

Last time i was clocked throwing a ball was a while ago, but i was pumping low 80's consistently. Probably have to take at lest 15mph off that now..but 65 to eye hurts....badly.

Id hurl one at him myself gievn the chance.

Maybe we hit Golfie up for a Yanks vs. Met hook up.

Hey...Aleve says he didn't want his jersey ripped off because it upsets his wife...it had nothing to do with the buzzer on his nipple telling him he was getting a slider.

So I guess we are good.

Baker has asked the league for protection for his batters so now anyone that drills them gets a shit ton of games ....hopefully Angels bring up some 32 year old ham and egger still playing A ball to come up on a 10 day contract in March to detach #2 left retina on first pitch of opening day in that amusement park of a stadium they steal games in.

C. Wagon

Ridiculous.

First his wife doesn't want him to be seen shirtless. Then it was because of a bad tattoo.

Jose altuve has hundreds of pictures of himself shirtless on his social media accounts. Also, theres been plenty of times his shirt was ripped off prior to that walk off. It was only a problem that day. Give me a break.

Good...sorry I had to show that ugly side of me James...but we're talking about the Yanks.

C. Wagon

No worries Bob, I like the darker side of you. 
 

Up until the early 2000’s , the bathrooms at the Friday night games at the stadium were like an 80’s club. Blow everywhere.

it was awesome. I hate the new stadium. It’s awful. Like a warehouse mixed with a museum mixed with a factory. Ugly

citifield on the other hand is fantastic

I will be there...and you better be there too.

I am a pretty nice guy most of the time James.......but not the type you want to piss off.

I will...and have....desecrated a grave or two in my time.

C. Wagon

Ill be there unless something unexpected happens like law enforcement, or some kind of tragic, unbeknownst catastrophe, i will be there.

Last series of the year....it might even have playoff implications. Could be playing for the top AL team, and/or even best record for  home field in the series

.....the Astro guys are going to need fucking Kavlar when they come to the stadium. If this is 1960...first guy...first pitch...in the earhole.

C. Wagon

But we can still go to a game if I'm alive and well enough this summer...they don't play eachother untik the last series of the season i think though.

They dont play this spring or id book us a trip to Florida for a spring training game and debauchery on me

“If I hit a home run that sends us to the World Series, my teammates can rip off my pants!”

hysterical

For a guy thats pretty black with a great black first name, i should like him more than i do. 

Obviously id take him over any white, but they can do blacker.....i mean better

Is smoking hot. It’s funny...the only guy on the Chiefs who dates a black girl is a white guy.

Traded to dodgers. Along with David Price.

The dodgers are fucking stacked.

Is it only me or has the Superbowl been really boring the past few years?

Last year was atrocious.

The previous had the iggles, before that the awful falcons debacle.

The last good one was wheb Seattle blew it on the last play by throwing it from inside the 2

Well that didn’t last long
