We probably can't count on strafing Cole for 6 runs over 4 innings like we did last time ... but anything that completes a season sweep against these chumps would be oh so nice.

Also now just 2.5 G behind the Braves (who have a DH today vs Reds following last night's rainout) for the #1 WC slot on the eve of them coming in for a four game series starting tomorrow. So snagging a W today would be good for reasons in addition to stomping on chumps and sending their fans home crying ... even if that remains today's #1 priority.

My favorite aspect of NYM/NYY subway series games is watching dejected Yankee fans in the stands when their team is losing. That shit is like catnip to me

That certainly is #1 on that schadenfreude list.
My #2 is watching close-ups of owner Jerry Jones in the closing minutes of a Dallas Cowboys loss.

Tough to miss that one as Jerry is on TV more than most of the players on the field.

I am so loving this line. Schadenfreude on the Dallas Cowboys to the max, here.

7:02 is such an oddly specific time , I guess any time is oddly specific though

Taytay getting the nod over DJ against a righty at YSIII.

Juan Soto - RF
Aaron Judge - CF
Austin Wells - C (11 career HRs)
Anthony Volpe - SS
Alex Verdugo - LF
JD Davis - DH
DJ LeMahieu - 1B (.183)
Oswaldo Cabrera - 3B

Opt for defense when facing Cole, perhaps?

[Edgy MD]

Well, that's certainly a distinction, but if it were that alone, they'd go with Bader.

It looks like this game is only on ESPN which benefits our out of market fans

I hope Michael Kay doesn't turn up somehow on this telecast

I'm enjoying listening to the Yanqui people on talk radio of late

[Lefty Specialist]

Surprised Bader isn't getting the start considering how well he knows CF in The Bedpan.

[Edgy MD]

Maybe he's being punished for hugging Spike Lee.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Maybe he's being punished for hugging Spike Lee.

lol

[MFS62]

Maybe he's being punished for hugging Spike Lee.

I hope he got his shots. Those MFY fans can be rabid.
