Ha, I noticed that too. It was like Goldy was all, “screw that, I’m taking the stairs.”

It was amusing to watch all of the Yankees at the dugout rail jump over when Jaisson Dominguez hit the walk off … except for Paul Goldschmidt, who turned around and sedately went up the dugout stairs.  Old bones don’t always bend the way we want them to!

A's fans were still able to make their fury at the Astros known when the teams played in Oakland last night. They may not be physically allowed in the stadium, so they did the next best thing:

I read that Houck said he was "bummed" that he would missing a start. Hmmm, if only there was something he could have done to make sure he could play in every park.

I get posts from teams in my Facebook feed because I've clicked baseball stuff. I few times, I wound up thinking, "Guys, you beat the Rockies. Is that worth bragging about?"

Meanwhile, while I wasn't noticing, the Phillies overtook the Mets for the NL East lead. Looks like the luster is starting to wear off. I hope it doesn't get to a point where fans start booing Soto. For one thing, that situation might end up like the one with Lindor, only without the impressive rebound in future seasons. For another, it would get Yankees fans all tingly. I don't want that.

Oh, and I saw the montage of Jacob deGrom's duel with Aaron Judge. Looking at his stats, I'm happy deGrom is achieving decent numbers. I also got a chuckle seeing an ESPN ticker and finding out Wilmer Flores homered. I can't believe "Walk Off Wilmer" was almost ten years ago.

I feel sorry for the Rockies players.  It must really feel awful to have the whole baseball world looking at you as colossal failures.

It sucks for Colorado, that's a fact...

...but?  Try having a team that is a game or two away from being under .500 as a franchise since Day One.  Not a big deal?  That same team was (roughly) 400 games OVER .500 as a franchise 45 years ago.

Therefore, I'd go with the opposite take.   They're still colossal failures, but there's another franchise that's saying, "Hold My Beer." Unless the Rockies had a 500-game swing in the wrong direction in terms of win percentage or the equivalent

Colorado won eight times, they are capable.  This weekend is going to be nerve wracking and all I can hear in the back of my brain is Admiral Ackbar.

I heard about tonight. If it makes you feel better, the Mets will be following their series with the Dodgers against the White Sox and Rockies. Be honest: which New York baseball team is more prone to curses?

Speaking of the Mets . . . I've been looking at ESPN.com, and I thought they were cooked. Apparently, they show more life than the Knicks. Three runs in the bottom of the ninth . . . and I can't tune in for extra innings because the game is streaming on Apple, and I don't seem to have an account on my iPad. Fucking streaming.

Still tied 5-5, middle of the 12th.

Idea for news story: tonight's game is on Apple, tomorrow's will air on Fox, Sunday's runs on ESPN. What do the Dodgers and Mets' respective broadcast teams do this weekend?

Update: G. F. D. They're going into the thirteenth inning.

Update #2: Dodgers win at 12:57 a.m., 7-5. Once again, at least the Mets went out fighting.

Hope it's not a matinee tomorrow...

I’m not a gambler, but I am curious about something.  They announced an in-game parlay early in the Yankee game and I think the pitcher did meet his part, but what if he hadn’t before the game went into a rain delay, since he wouldn’t be pitching again after waiting nearly two hours?  Is that just “sucks to be you, pitcher should have thrown more strikes before it started raining”, or do you get your money back for circumstances out of your control?

I know Yankees announcers isn’t something that many of you concern yourselves with (weird, I know) but does anyone know why Ryan Ruoco hadn’t been used when Michael is off?  I miss him.

I think he's doing lots of WNBA.

I miss his podcast with CC Sabathia. They did such fantastic interviews. I still go back and listen to old ones occasionally.
