That was a weird 1/2 inning. We need to be similarly gifted now to get back in the game...

Kiermaier out of the baseline. These umps are jobbing the Yankees. Yeah. Clearly missed the tag. Clearly out of the running lane. Clearly should have flipped the fall to DJ, would would have eliminated the other actions... Meantime, Cole is going through a bit of a funk in recent starts... Sure, on his good days Cole overcomes the crap in any event. Not at his best, and he's been hurt by bad umpiring. |

The book is wonderful, and not much like anything that has made it to the big screen. Even the one with Gary Oldman in the early 1990s miscast Keanu Reeves then for some ridiculous reason invented/inflated the character/role played by Winona Ryder. At least, Van Helsing was entertaining with Anthony Hopkins. I've only ever seen the Bela Lugosi version, which is iconic and atmospheric but painfully slow. I am always impressed with your literary knowledge. Are you by any chance an aficionado of Thomas Wolfe? I know he gets terribly verbose with purple prose, but he was one of my college favorites who I have never been able to toss aside because I associate him so strongly with literary discovery. Embarrassingly, no. I should have at least read Look Homeward, Angel. I have read Tom Wolfe, but that’s hardly the same caliber. |

Cole should have been out of the inning with no runs allowed. Umpire malfeasance made this possible. Final game of a series, the Yanks take a holiday. 😡 |

Kiermaier out of the baseline. These umps are jobbing the Yankees. I have seen Yankees players called out on that play for far less evasion. Terrible call. |

Whoa whoa what happened there. 5-1 all of a sudden. Two, two-out singles, when Cole should have been out of the inning with the running out of the baseline no call. |

Has any of the booth team mentioned why Stanton is not starting against a lefty?

Five innings for Cole, but we have to start scoring runs. This is confounding.

Has any of the booth team mentioned why Stanton is not starting against a lefty? Because Boone is an idiot and they cant say that on the air |

Has any of the booth team mentioned why Stanton is not starting against a lefty? I’m betting Stanton is still not 100% healthy... I’m secretly praying that they’ve held him out pending a possible impossible trade. One where he just disappears and we continue to pay him as he gets healthy and averages 60 homers a year for a National League that we never meet in the playoffs... |

Embarrassingly, no. I should have at least read Look Homeward, Angel. I have read Tom Wolfe, but that’s hardly the same caliber. Very different genre, but I love his writing as well. I have a particular soft spot for 1920s American literature, obviously the giants like Hemingway, Faulkner, Fitzgerald and I put Wolfe in that category. Sherwood Anderson, James Agee, Theodore Dreiser. Plus critics like my mentor HL Mencken and assorted playwrights/humorists like George S. Kauffman, Robert Benchley, Dorothy Parker, Ring Lardner, etc. And even though he was quintessentially British, PG Wodehouse settled in New York and became a US citizen. His Jeeves stories remain laugh-out-loud funny to this day. I toured Wolfe's home in Asheville in the late 1970s. At that time one of his brothers was giving the tours. To me, it was like having Macbeth giving tours at Stratford upon Avon. "Angel" is definitely the one to read by Wolfe if you only have maybe 50 years left to live. |

You guys and your knowledge of literature are amazing. I started out young with some interest, but long work hours and other interests pulled me away to other venues.
Good for you gentleman for making time for that in your life. For that is the key, one must make time in their lives for that which enriches. Something I’ve failed to do... at least to this point...
