metirish Old-Timey Member Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 I never hope for Yankee firings because I'm always certain the next one is going to be Davey Johnson.They really booed Rivera?
Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket Guests Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 How did that MFYLDB afford that $2,500 seat?Tiexiera was booed too as he left a hunderd guys on base and his BA fell onto the Interstate again. Plus backup C Molina looks headed to the DL along with Posada.
Guest Edgy DC Guests Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 OK, who photoshopped young Brian Wilson into the photo?

G-Fafif Old-Timey Member Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 F Kay. Today he remarked that had the Mets signed Manny and this stuff came out, "That would be just like the Mets."[/quote:19s2o6th]So, Michael Kay is reduced to taking shots at the Mets for not coming close to doing the wrong thing?Good night funnyman.

HahnSolo Old-Timey Member Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 I think the only happy MFY these days has to be Johnny Damon. 7 HRs (6 in their new place) already. He'll probably hit 40 this year and earn himself a big $ contract from some team that doesn't know better.

Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 Aneurysm surgery (in the arm) for Ian Kennedy(so we can put away all those Schneider/Castro/Santos to the NYY trade ideas)
Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket Guests Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 Be sure to watch the highlights of Aubrey Huff's 3-run homa off Jobba today. He does a completely obvious mock-fist-pump-taunt not once but twice. Awesome!
Guest Swan Swan H Guests Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 About time somebody showed up Joba the pig-faced boy. Kay and Singleton were practically demanding retaliation when Huff came up next time, which is a laugh but typical holier-than-thou Yankee garbage.
Guest Edgy DC Guests Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 One thing I loved about the Rays last year --- and even earlier --- is that they're young and nutty enough to hold the whole Yankee mystique in active contempt.They seem determined to reclaim their own city --- like the kids in a summer resort town standing up to the rich city kids who act like they own the place and the parents who the resort employs.
Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket Guests Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 Course, Huff hit his HR representing the Orioles.Wiggy took a bullet in the shoulder later, but not sure whether that was retaliation.
Guest Edgy DC Guests Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 Yeah, but he was there at the start of the Tampa awakening --- long part of the abused townie culture.

I loved it when Jonny Gomes went apeshit last season after Duncan stuck his Frankenstein size 16 into Iwamura. I hadn't seen MFYs scream for vengence like that since Pedro tossed that decrepit old bench coach aside. Those MFYers are funny when they feel wronged.
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 I think, for the most part, the Yanx simply weren't used to the likes of the Rays actually competing against them. They just expected them to roll over and die like usual.It was almost as funny hearing Kay and his crew sounding like they were lowering themselves when they had to start paying attention to Rays games on the out of town scoreboard. For years it was just them and the Sox and they seemed put out by the fact that someone else had crashed the party.This year it's those fucking Jays who somehow slipped by the bouncers and got into the V.I.P. lounge where they don't belong.Anarchy, Anarchy!!
Farmer Ted Old-Timey Member Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 Jim Leyritz apparently on suicide watch.
Elster88 Old-Timey Member Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 Girardi and Gardenhire get into a shouting match on the field today.Hughes career: 6-9 with a 5.48. And yet I'm grateful they refused to trade him and Kennedy for Santana.
nymr83 Old-Timey Member Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 Mushnick has a piece that stabs at the unlistenable Yankees' radio broadcasts this morning.
soupcan Old-Timey Member Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 The whole Yankee broadcast team - Sterling, Waldman, Kay, O'Neill, etc. are just one of the many reasons I'm glad I'm not a Yankee fan.

metirish Old-Timey Member Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 71 home runs so far in 19 home games...at least I think I heard right there on that....saw the three hit last night back to back to back....all went to the same spot there in RF...unreal
Piggiestomatoes Old-Timey Member Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 What's funny is that it's not jusr right field. Through last evening, 22 home runs to left versus 11 through the same number of games last year. That stadium is a joke. Something will have to be done. You can't move the fences back; do you raise the walls?
MFS62 Old-Timey Member Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 A guy called in to WFAN tonight and said that if Notre Dame gets that football game against Army at the new place, a field goal kicker may break the NCAA distance record if they're kicking toward right field.BTW- tonight's Yankee game is over. The 74 HR in the first 20 games sets the all-time ML record for a new ball park. This ain't your daddy's Coors Field.Later

(zing!)
Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Guests Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 Oh, John Sterling cares about his job. He just cares very little.http://deadspin.com/5277333/john-sterling-still-struggling-to-learn-yankees-lineup
Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket Guests Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 O how I love John Sterling
