This wanker will be providing comic value for years to come.

Well, using it in a lame attempt to deflect attention from his favorite drugaddled Yankee Legends ® is a weak tactic but of course he's right. Football and basketball are obviously filthy with the juice.

The apple really doesn't fall far from the tree, does it?

He's really a chip off the old block, isn't he?


I also got a kick out of his open regret at not obtaining Johan Santana now that it's been discovered that Pettitte took HGH, and that Pettitte had better step up.

We've had more than three decades of continuous bluster coming from the Bronx, and with Hank in place, there will probably be decades more.

Yeah he talks about Santana like he can go get him if things don't go well with the current staff, it's hilarious.

[Guest AG/DC]

I'm with Bucket. He may not have facts, and he's certainly a self-serving goofball, but he has enough of a point.

He is what he is.

And to think that I was scared that old steiny would go away and someone with intelligence AND a boatload of money would take over.

He may have not done anything too crazy this offseason. . .but I am sure a couple of seasons without a championship will really bring out his father's side.

Oh, I think the way they handled Rodriguez was way crazy.

The way they handled Torre? Hazy-crazy.

The way they negotiatied for Santana? Survey says crazy.

Sorry, but although those come close, all three fall just shy of "too crazy" on holychicken's precisely calibrated crazometer.
