All-Season MFY IGT

[Guest metirish]

That's a potent OF, Womack, Crosby and Sheff...

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Wayne Franklin?

He's the guy I used to watch play High school and legion games as a small-town cub reporter. He was a nice rosy-cheeked kid.

When he was with Houston I met him at Shea and he told me how he once threw at Robin Ventura on purpose.

Fight Night at Yankee Stadium

New York Yankee stars Derek Jeter and Alex �A-Rod� Rodriguez have stopped beating themselves up for their team�s worst season in over a decade�and started beating on each other. On June 20, after a throwing error from Jeter to Rodriguez handed the Yankees a 5-4 loss to the last-place Tampa Bay Devil Rays, a TV producer says the sluggers came to blows in the clubhouse.


�I was doing an interview in the locker room and saw them go at it,� says the source. �A-Rod walked past Jeter�s locker and mumbled something about his throw, then Jeter told him to go fuck himself and all hell broke lose. Their teammates were pulling them away from each other.�

Tensions between the two have been brewing since Rodriguez dissed Jeter in a 2001 Esquire interview. As a result, we hear, Jeter, the Gold Glove-winning team captain, never wanted his ex-pal on the team in the first place�but Yankees boss George Steinbrenner didn�t listen.

�Now you have guys like Bernie Williams who remember winning the World Series taking Jeter�s side, and then you have the trades, like Tony Womack, taking A-Rod�s side,� says a ballclub insider. �What you have is a team that�s split, and you can�t win baseball games like that.� Yankees spokesman Rick Cerrone called the fight an �absolute fantasy,� and denied any rift between the players, claiming �there are no lines drawn in the clubhouse.� Not since Darryl Strawberry anyway.

Good lord the freakin O's suck!

It was bad enough yesterday when - after erasing a 6-0 defecit - they promptly gave up a 7-run 8th to the MFYs (although, to be fair, I'm not sure I've ever seen a 7-run inning built on as many dinky hits).
So today they decide to follow it up by spotting the Yanx a 10-zip lead (and still counting). Serving up HRs to A-Rod, Sheff & Giambi (3rd in 2 games) was bad enough but they managed to blow consecutive DP balls and a run-down play to set up the whole barrage.
Oh, and Randy Johnson is perfect thru 4.

Between these clowns and Keith Foulke blowing another game yesterday, the Yanx could wind up w/another sub-90 win division crown a la 2000.

[Guest metirish]

Damn the O's are in full free fall mode, Maz probably won't be back next year if this keeps up, at least the no hit bid is gone, O's have 2 hits, 3 errors, MFY 10/0

[Guest Edgy DC]

Anybody other outlets confirm the spat in the locker room?

"Hey, Derek, nice throw."

"Hey, Alex, nice slap."

"Nice face."

"Face of baseball, sucka."

"Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick..."

"What the Hell is that?

"Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick..."

"Shut up! What the Hell is that?"

"It's the Yankees' A-Rod to Shortstop Clock, Captain. Tick, tick, tick, tick..."

"Your ice is thin. Watch it now."

"Oooh, yeah, like hitting me with one of your intangible fists is going to make that clock tick any slower. Tick, tick, tick, tick..."

"I hat you!"

"You need me, you bastard."

[Guest metirish]

I've not seen that report anywhere else, cool story though.

[Guest Frayed Knot]

The Daily News referred to it - citing the same source.
I'm not giving it much credibility.

[Guest metirish]

This says it all really...

[Guest Edgy DC]

Flushing. Nice.

[Guest Rotblatt]

These comments on the "Make Derek Jeter An All-Star" petition are juvenile, but hilarious.

[Guest Rotblatt]

My favorite so far:

]158. Ricky Henderson - Ricky used to play with a guy that pumped his fist

That fucking shit cracks me up.

[Guest soupcan]

I like this one -

]60. Pokey Reese - Guess you forgot to ram your face into the stands on a routine pop-up this year? Better luck next time.

[Guest metirish]

Great find Roblatt..

]111. Yank Fan Frank - Jeter is a great Yankee. He would do anything to help the Yanks win (except change positions). He should be there for his intangibles.

hahaha..

]126. Scott Podsednik - Haha. I'm not even good and I beat you. I mean, come on, I suck... People must really hate you...

love it.

[Guest metirish]

best yet..

]22. Santa Claus - Derek Jeter is still an all-star in the heart of every girl who blindly believes in media hype, in the soul of every boy who has no range to his left, in the mind of every 37 year old from Queens whose been a diehard fan since 1996. Dont fret, as long as the myth of our Captain remains alive in our hearts, no rational facts or voting process can take his all-star glow away

[Guest seawolf17]

Or

]108. A-Rod -- ha ha I'm going.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Can we like not do the fellatio jokes here?

[Guest seawolf17]

Did I miss a fellatio joke somewhere? I'm listening to too much Stephen Lynch - I'm losing touch with what regular people consider "offensive."

[Guest cooby]

Thank you seawolf, I have reread this six times now, even the previous page...

[Guest Edgy DC]

No, sorry, I'm referring to 84.8% of the cracks in the petition, and trying to stop the culture creep before it starts.

[Guest soupcan]

I think you don't have enough faith in us.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I'm sorry. I do.

But us and them ain't always so clearly defined.

I think sex is excellent. Don't like to see it degraded so.

Here's your answer: ban Scarlet Knight. http://cybermessageboard.ehost.com/getalife/viewtopic.php?p=7535&highlight=#7535

At least you have the taste to use the latinate form of the noun.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Hey - I haven't said anything that others around here haven't said many times before.

If there's a consensus that we're going to clean things up here, I'd be fine with that. Is there?

[Guest Bret Sabermetric]

I kid, Scarlet, I kid. He'll ban you just after he bans himself.

The yardsticks vary, depending on who's under discussion, is my point.

[Guest seawolf17]

Nice job, everyone. Not only can we not make fellatio jokes anymore (not that I was doing that), but now Scarlet has to try to explain it to MK.

Seawolf, nothing is quite so bad as a fellatio joking being shouted at us.

Tell them softly, please

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Jeter blows.

="seawolf17"]Nice job, everyone. Not only can we not make fellatio jokes anymore (not that I was doing that), but now Scarlet has to try to explain it to MK.

The thing is, one of these days I'm going to have to explain to MK what the MF in MFYs stands for. He knows that it's a bad word, and he's willing to leave it at that for the moment. But one of these years he's going to hear the term and a lightbulb is going to go off over that little head.

Oh sure, make me look like an idiot. You wanker.
