***The Official New York Yankees Thread***

[spuds1961]

Don’t think I am down playing the Dodgers but I would rather face them than the Mets right now. The Mets keep doubling down playing with house money, they lost 9-0 and I at least figured the Dodgers would go up 2-0 at home. Lindor with the leadoff home run injected life in them and Vientos with the grand slam pretty much ended yesterday’s game. With Severino, Manea and Quintana it’s pretty much a toss up now.

Both number 27’s in New York having good post seasons so far. Stanton and Vientos both slugging right now.

I think that if the ball is completely in the shaded area, the ball is actually touching the black, and is a strike. If any of the ball is outside the shade, it should be a ball

Would you rather they not have the box at all during broadcasts.

He got no love from Topps in the ALDS, I don't expect them to start now. It would be his 1st Yankees card though.

Yes, see my post in his player thread on here.

I have a feeling we'll get lights out Cole again tonight.

No. It is proving the point daily why these umpires need to lose their job calling balls and strikes.

What’s funny is I have 2 Weaver cards from topps gallery a green autograph numbered to 99 and a blue parallel numbered to 50 but I would like to see something of him in a Yankee uniform.

Yep but I still say get Verdugo out of the damn lineup rash and all.

I hope you are right, Cole is another Yankee I have nice cards of just nothing great in a Yankee uniform.

The Yankees can get by on a B-plus effort like this — for now

Probably not going to happen if Dominguez is forced to play left field.

I agree I can see missing every once in awhile but these umpires are making it a habit. That’s why I suggested have the same umpires work the same position throughout the whole series, at least that way we can see which umpires are the most consistent.

Question is do they want to give up some fielding for some potential offense, but with Dominguez having not played in awhile I don’t think he would be an upgrade.

[spuds1961]

At the damn laundromat missed last week so tons of clothes. One more week till the new washing machine is delivered. I could dry them at home but why bother since I am already here. Thank goodness for this thread.

[spuds1961]

Well got all the chores done laundry medication picked up and dinner cooking. So unless the game isn’t on tv in my area tonight I am good to go. Hoping for a blowout win but I will settle for a 1 run nailbiter.

I was just told many times over the last few pages that you don't change the lineup.

I have never bought a topps now card. I have a couple how I acquired them I don’t know.

I have every one of the regular cards except for one year when I didn't buy any for some reason. I've been slowly trying to find ones from that year and pick them up.

Just had to sign up for the monthly free trial on TBS to watch the rest of this series, yay more Spanish telecasts.

Have any of the cards you bought had a big increase in price over the years.
