"All I want out of life," Thames once told a friend, "is that when I walk down the street folks will say, 'There goes the worst outfielder that ever lived.'

Hero one night, goat the next.
Ah, baseball.
wut i do
If that was the Red Sox, they make that play. They make that play cause theyre the Red Sox. They make those kind of plays, they make that play, cause its the Red Sox, they make plays like that, they make that play.
You guys are being harsh on Thames, he just needs a little dirt on his uniform and his talent will shine. He needs to be in Boston to get dirt on his uniform though…
He kilt ‘em out dare tonight. Mike, you still want Nate McLouth?
Yankees lose after a crucial ninth inning error by yesterday’s hero Marcus Thames.
Hmmm let me see, lets blame one bad play vs. the meatballs Joab was throwing. At least Thames came up big the night before.
Joba is the one to be blamed. he sucks!
And you’re the worst God damn fielder I ever saw.
Guy looks like Glenallen Hill out there
Check that, he makes Glenallen Hill look like Willie Mays.
What they Yankees need is a good Latin American player out in right field.
Tonights loss is like Chinese food.
THat Marcus Thames is a piece of shit. Why the fuck do the Yankees guy play a who can’t field his position. Such a useless black, that guy only get 1 meaningful hit in his life and he drop ball like that. He sucks big time you know.
Well Suzyn, you just can’t predict baseball.
I am tired of seeing Thames and Winn playing everyday. I say drop those fuckers and bring up some of the AAA guys to give them some majors work. They can flail at pitches, play shitty in the field, and give you the occasional big hit. Man can’t wait for Swish and Granderson to be back.
I be openin my mouth wide a lot and shit. Yall notice me be openin my mouth a lot? Shit I drop that motherfucker.
Mo should get to punch him and the home plate ump in the throat after that game. 5 outs to get through the top of the ninth…
And that’s why baseball is baseball. Because its baseball. Just like life. And maybe… sometimes… baseball makes life a little more like baseball. Because that’s life.
Mo had strike three… that’s a BS strike zone from that ump all night.
If ju no tray me, i may tha cacch for ju. I no hi de ball so goo lie de blaa gie, but i stilll may de cacch.
I dont understand how Randy Winn is on a MLB roster, must less a Yankees roster. Bernie-look-a-like needs to be DFAed about a week ago.
Girardi should not have bunted Cervelli. Why give up an out. especially with Thames coming up against a righty? Did you really expect him to come through twice? Especially since Cervelli was the best hitter coming up. Waste of an out. All they needed was one single in three AB’s against a strugling pitcher. Joe let him off the hook but giving him a freebe. At least Cervelli would have grounded one to the right side.
I woulda gotten Cervelli in from 3rd.
This woulda been a great headline had the Yanks hung on last night. Too soon? http://www.boston.com/news/local/breaking_news/2010/05/two_bodies_one.html
really? a special olympics joke? I think the real story of last night is that I’m worthless. errors or no errors, i blew that game.
I will trade you Johan Santana for him.
Thames is a boner biting dick fuck fuckface
Reportedly he was in tears after the game. I feel bad for him.
now I feel bad too.
wait. 900k a year he SHOULD be able to catch fly balls so I feel less bad
wait again – Thames’s mother, Veterine, has been paralyzed since an auto accident when Marcus was five years old. As a result, she has only been able to watch him play in person a handful of times. – ok, i forgive him…its just a game
Hate to pile on here but i played OF in HS and College and never seen any one look as over matched as Thames looks in OF, its not that hard to play out there he looks like a guy off the street playing in a company softball game. Also this Sunday Lupica sneak peak ; its nights like this when you just know its going to be a three team race and somehow some way Francona’s boys will find a spot in the playoffs, why because they always do.
“he looks like a guy off the street playing in a company softball game”
Probably the best description I’ve seen.
Girardi had a rough night. Does Joba need to be in a 5-1 game? Can we wait till Logan or Robo make it 5-3…an extra day’s rest for Joba (and Mo if the pen underlings survive) with TB coming into town wouldn’t have been the worst thing in the world.
Cervelli’s been on fire with RISP, let him swing.
Finally, where the hell was Mr. UZR, Randy Winn, playing in LF? Too shallow. Also…pinch hit for him.
also, loud belch.
Girardi talked about Winn’s positioning. He said when lefties go the other way against Mo, they often get dinky bloop hits. And that’s true. The SABR crowd has been wanting the Yankees for years to push their OFs in when Mo is pitching. Now, they don’t. Make up your minds.
ROGER CLEMENS IS IN THE BUILDING!!!
So, who’s your favorite Yankee?
Ogre good call on Robo or that Boone guy. They for sure get lit up on the regular, but at least they have the chance to get lit up before we got to Joba who gets lit up with near regularity.
Can we say just 86 this bullpen and start over…with Mo the exception of course.
Do you guys think I am playing too deep out there? Should I move in a step or two? Help me out here.
How about a picture of an out of breath Joba placing the ball on a batting tee?
In my defense why was Robinson Cano so damn close to me. IF you know you cannot make the play then get the fuck outta my way nigga.
Hey, I play on a company softball team with a bunch of really old guys, and every damn one of them would have made that catch.
Hero turned goat… as I always say, about 23 times a game, You can’t predict baseball….
these posts are hilarious. props to mike francesa
C’mon guys , give the brother a break.
