I had a major brain fart. I momentarily forgot that each league has its own ROY, so when Skenes was announced, I thought “Aw man, I wanted Gil to win it.” Then when Gil was announced, I was like “Wha…?” Then I remembered. Is it time for me to make my reservation at the old folks’ home?

This one never fails to put me in a good mood.

Watching the highlights of last night’s game, I noticed that they played the opening riff of Chicago’s “25 Or 6 To 4” right before Glayber’s home run. Well played. 🎸

Grand slam Anthony Volpe!

As the widow of a Mets fan(I can’t believe it’ll be twenty years in March), I can’t hate on them. I save it for the Red Sox and Astros.

I don’t remember that one, but there was also one where a child was injured/killed because they weren’t in a car seat. ETA:

I almost didn’t recognize Sevy with the beard.(I notice that that’s usually the first thing a former Yankee does when he joins a new team is grow one.)

My sentiments exactly.

My husband(who passed in 2005, right after Willie Randolph was named manager)was a Mets fan, so I can’t hate on them. It still feels weird watching a Subway Series without him, and it’s been almost twenty years. On another subject, anyone else find it weird that every game started within five minutes of each other?

At least Ohtani is no longer in the American League.

Please, can Clay Holmes be next? Please? 🙏🏻

I completely forgot that today is Roberto Clemente Day. I saw Judge wearing #21 and thought “Why is he wearing Paul O’Neill’s number? Isn’t it retired? 🙄

That reminds me of a game against the Oakland A’s in 1999, when Bernie Williams trotted to first base, thinking he’d walked with the bases loaded, but it was only ball 3.(The look on Scott Brosius’s face was like “Bernie, what are you doing?”) The next pitch? Grand slam. The whole Yankee bench lost it, Bernie laughed his way around the bases, and Tim McCarver said “The A’s should have taken the walk, it’s only one run!”

I’m just glad we don’t have to hear “Judge hasn’t hit a homer in X games!” anymore.

The Martian is back!
