Stanton can no longer hit a fastball. The whole world knew that after the swing and miss on the first pitch that there would network more up out of the zone and that Stanton would flail at them. Credit to Bednar… |

Peraza strikes out on a ball down, away, and well off the plate. The Yankees lose another winnable game, and Boone makes ridiculous changes during the game against a reliever. Overall, bad luck on a no call from the Ump and a ball miraculously hitting the corner of third base and careening hard left into foul territory. That was the difference. Yankees offense was abysmal again. Difficult to win against any team only scoring two runs. Ask Nolan Ryan, who lost over 80 such games.

Yea and Boston came back to tie the score and Texas lost big again... |

It was a stinker. We played around with the Pirates the entire series and it finally bit us in the butt… |

Shame. I thought when Wells hit the double they were going to pull it off.

Yep, when struggle to score runs, you leave yourself with no margin of error and leave yourself open to lose on strange plays and bad luck. |

lol. I'll need pipps' super spy intelligence.
The heat is leaving across the nation as we slowly enter into Fall, so he's likely hiking some trail with Mrs. Pipps, sampling local pub fare and refreshments along the way, while combining visits to baseball historical sites in the area. Sorry I've been off the air for a bit. Not really on an adventure -- although Saturday we will head up to the Canadian Maritimes, focused on Prince Edward Island, and there will indeed be plenty of hiking involved -- it's a great place for that -- and of course it's one of the seafood capitals of the world. But no baseball sites that I am aware of. There have only been 31 MLB players from the Canadian Maritimes. Twelve of them played in the nineteenth century, and only eleven since the start of the live ball era. The three most recent are the only three I have much recollection of, all from the 1990s to early 2000s -- pitchers Rheal Cormier and Jason Dickson and catcher Matt Stairs, all from New Brunswick. There have only been three major league players from Prince Edward Island. The only one in my lifetime was Kansas City A's pitcher Vern Handrahan, who was up briefly in the 1960s, but I have no memory of him. Maybe I'll do some snooping around up there to get the lowdown on him. |

One of these days, when the machines take over and all weapons are drones, we're going to need your skills to fight against them from a bunker somewhere underground in Nevada. Stay sharp, my friend.  lol. I'll need pipps' super spy intelligence.
Actually just too much socializing. A big birthday bash for my sweetest cousin on Friday that ran well past my bedtime and then up your way -- Monmouth Junction, if that rings a bell -- on Saturday for an extravagant anniversary celebration for some friends. About 400 in attendance, open bar with top-shelf liquor -- these friends are Indian, and I have never seen over-the-top celebrations that could out-do what well-heeled Indians can produce. It was almost a two-hour drive and we didn't get back until after midnight, then had to be up 5:30 to get to a memorial service. I missed the Friday and Saturday games completely and came in today in time to see Volpe's home run and everything that went downhill after that. I'm getting too old for this. I might take it easy tomorrow. |

If you think Indians can party, you have to see Bengalis do it!  |

Gulf Arabs can do a pretty good wing-ding too. And while I'm at it, Italians are no slouches at this party biz either. I'm sure Rizz will confirm. |
