Yankee-Lovin' Douchebags 2009

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I saw this douche in the paper this morning and was inspired. Meet DJ Chunky, the new nighttime host at 92.3.



It occurred to me I must see hundreds of people like this a day.

[metirish]

That's Joba in a few years.....I'm guessing he'll be playing rap music?

[Fman99]

I love DJ Obesity. Go Yankees!

:sigh:

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Meh. I prefer the overnight guy, DJ Type 2.

Add a LITTLE more melanin, and plenty of faux-platinum spinner medalions hanging from the rearview, and this is my neighborhood.

Going too far to include murder suspects?

First successful pitch at new Yankee Stadium: Dave Pero proposes to Heather DeCarolos


Dave douchebag Pero, 31, proposed fiance Heather DeCarolis, 23, setting another first at the new Yankee Stadium

The setting was perfect. The band was playing their favorite song. And she said yes. What an opening day for Dave Pero and his future wife. The 31-year-old Syracuse high school teacher went down on one knee yesterday to pop the question to his beloved, Heather DeCarolos, near Gate 6 on the East 161st Street side of the new Yankee Stadium. "There's nothing better than to kick off this opening day and this stadium by making a commitment to my future wife," said Pero, who had been planning his big move for weeks. First, Pero surprised his 23-year-old girlfriend by scoring tickets to the historic Yankee home opener. Then, with the help of his brother, Pero arranged to have Rochester-based cover band The Skycoasters nearby playing the Earth, Wind and Fire hit "September" just before he asked he asked his honey for her hand. "I'm stunned," said DeCarolos, just before they went inside to watch the Yanks take on the Inidians. "I'm on top of the world. I can't think of a better place for this to happen."

[Guest Edgy DC]

Way to waste your life, Heather.

[metsmarathon]

how romantic! he proposed near the gate to the stadium!

is it really a first if its just on the property, and not inside the actual stadium?

if he was really good, he'd've arranged to have it on the scoreboard when he asked.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Did he give her 27 rings?

[metirish]

BTW I love this thread title , it has great promise.

[seawolf17]

Fitting that he chose "September," figuring the Yanks won't see October this year.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

She knew he was a Yankee fan and still said "Yes?"

[G-Fafif]

Whole lot of 'em here.

[G-Fafif]

And here.



Pepsi made a mistake. A mistake in trying to deal with these people.

[HahnSolo]

And of course the idiot media is there to egg them on.

Between these people and DJ Chunky, maybe Heather didn't do so bad.

[Frayed Knot]

Meet DJ Chunky

Hate to tell you dude, but the new wider seats aren't THAT wide.

I like KO and Jason Bateman but they are now and forever, YLDBs

I think Bateman's actually a Dodgers fan. YLDB for a day, however.

Ladies and gentlemen, the New York Times brings you the Ultimate Yankee-Loving Douchebag...Billy Crystal!

April 19, 2009 Feeling Lonely Behind the Facade By BILLY CRYSTAL Hello? Is anybody there? What�s going on? They had opening day, but my grass is overgrown, the monuments are gone and nobody�s here. My pal the Polo Grounds warned me. Watch, they neglect you, no one comes to visit for a while, they start taking stuff and then, boom! Ebbets said the same thing. But they asked for it. I�m Yankee Stadium, and even after my surgery in 1974-75, I came back and had a new lease on life. People from all over came to see me, more than four million last year alone. So what�s the deal? They don�t need me anymore? Even the birds have stopped flying around here. Once the birds stop coming around, you know something�s up. I guess you can�t take anything for granted anymore, not even the spring. I always looked forward to opening day. I was like this big house where my baseball family spent its summers. They�d cut the grass � it�d smell so sweet � and touch up the blue paint, though I always thought I looked better in green. I�d get dressed up in my red, white and blues, and Bob Sheppard would welcome everyone to me on opening day. Wow, talk about an opening act. I loved when the boys were shagging flies during practice when there was no one here but me and them, and having them look from center to home, shaking their heads at my mighty triple decks, as if I were the Grand Canyon or something. They�d point to a spot and think, How did Mickey hit it that far? People used to pay to walk through me, just to see what it felt like. They wanted to see where the Babe played, where Lou cried, where Thurman dressed, where we won, where we lost, the black. They stood in the middle of me, just like the Coliseum in Rome, and silently imagined what it was like. I had a good life, not just in baseball. How about my Giants and the greatest football game ever played? Joe Louis beat up Schmeling here; we packed it for the popes, and it wasn�t even bobblehead day. Nelson Mandela became a Yankee here. When the Towers fell, the city came to me to mourn. So what did I do to deserve this? It�s no fun getting old. You start losing your friends. No Eddie at the organ, no Phil, no Mel, the Red Head, no Bobby. I hear Shea is gone. Too bad. I mean, it�s not a real loss, but too bad. Long history, short memory. Aw, maybe it�s time. New, bigger, better. That�s what people want, they say. Sometimes, that ain�t the answer. I always thought it�d be Wrigley, Fenway and me forever. The thought that kids will grow up and not know me is sad. The light will be different at the new place. The courthouse won�t be in the same spot. The shadows won�t creep the same way. It�s gonna sound different. Nothing sounded like me when something great happened. Remember how people came spilling over the walls, like water over a levee, when Chambliss hit the pennant clincher? Remember how I shook when Reggie hit the three in the Series? Remember how I swayed when Tino and Brosius and Jeter did their magic in �01? Remember how Mariano wouldn�t let the Red Sox score before Boone belted one into my left-field stands? Remember the love in here when the Babe and Mickey said goodbye or when Murcer won one for Munson? How about when they chanted for O�Neill, when Yogi jumped into Larsen�s arms or when Lou said he was lucky just to play here? Grandfathers and fathers won�t be able sit down and look out and remember where things happened. Where are the ghosts gonna go? From what I hear, they built something that looked like I used to, but not really. So what�s different? More places to eat? More bathrooms? Did anyone really mind that much? I thought it was part of my charm. So maybe the ghosts will go there. Maybe they won�t. That�s up to them. I heard that when they take me down, I�m becoming a park. Trees will mark the outline of where my towering limestone walls used to be. Ballfields will fill the space that will be level for the first time since 1922, before I was built. One of the home plates will be where mine was. The last thing I wanted to be was a parking lot, where oil slicks and yellow lines would mark where all that history was. A park? That could be hallowed ground for sure! Parents and grandparents could come and sit and watch their kids play, and remember where all those great things happened. Heck, some little one could be catching a ball where Joe D. did! I bet the ghosts would love that. �Is this heaven?� No, it�s the Bronx. So, I hope they had a great opening day at the new joint, but just remember it takes time to break in your glove just the way you like it. One thing before I go, when I start disappearing, don�t look. It won�t be pretty. Don�t let them tear your memories down with me. O.K., enough. I promised myself I wouldn�t feel bad, but, well, it�s opening weekend and I�m lonely! Come on, cut the grass, rake the clay, put the chalk down, fly the flags, grill the dogs, tear the tickets, let�s go! Where are the birds? What�s gonna become of the birds? Billy Crystal, a native New Yorker, is an Emmy and Tony Award-winning actor, writer and director. He couldn't be a bigger Yankee-Loving Douchebag

[metirish]

Oh please , and for some reason I read that in his very annoying voice...what a bollix he is and his sly dig at Shea....hey asshole Julia Styles would kick your ass.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Billy Crystal has become completely intolerable.

The only thing I'd consider watching him in is a rerun of Soap.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Curly, knock the hat off of this douchebag. He doesn't deserve to wear it.

[dgwphotography]

When the Towers fell, the city came to me to mourn.

@! you, you @!ing midget... In the words of Curly, I crap bigger than you...

Well, there was a ceremony there, wasn't there?

Jorge Posada's homer helper, Brian Doyle, joins Yankee Stadium lore

BY ROGER RUBIN DAILY NEWS SPORTS WRITER Monday, April 20th 2009, 2:25 AM The Yankees have a new angel in the outfield. Brian Doyle isn't about to supplant Jeffrey Maier in Yankee annals, but his role in the decisive home run of Sunday's 7-3 win over the Indians is undeniable. Cleveland right fielder Trevor Crowe tracked Jorge Posada's high drive to the wall in right field. As the ball came down, it hit Doyle before it got to Crowe's outstretched glove. "I've still got the mark," said the 33-year-old from Scotch Plains, N.J., pointing to a red mark on the inside of his left wrist. Crowe said he could have made a play if not for Doyle's outstretched hands. "I would have caught it," he said. Doyle's take? "I think he might have." The ball hit off Doyle, the top of the wall and Crowe's glove before coming down on the field. First base umpire Tom Halloran signaled home run. Cleveland manager Eric Wedge argued interference. Crew chief Jerry Crawford reviewed a replay, something MLB allows on home run calls. The review confirmed Halloran's judgment and Posada's two-run shot had the Yankees up 4-3. If the ruling went the other way, it would have been a ground-rule double and the Yankees still would have trailed 3-2 with runners at second and third. All parties agree that Posada's ball would have come down a home run if untouched, the reason Crawford upheld the initial call. In that way it's different from the Maier play, where the dispute was whether the kid from Old Tappan, N.J., reached into fair territory and deflected a ball that was coming down in outfielder Tony Tarasco's glove. Crowe was miffed because he believed he could have caught the ball before it hit the top of the wall. "My glove was over the wall and above it. But (Doyle) was above (my glove)," Crowe said. "I didn't even take into account having to get above the fans to catch it." Did the play remind Jeter of his feted longball that tied Game 1 of the ALCS that the Yankees eventually won in extra innings? "Nope, because it went over the fence," he said. Jeter and the Yankees don't see Doyle as an angel at all. Their contention is the ball clearly would have been a home run and the result only came into question because Doyle deflected the ball. Doyle, who works in the technology department at an investment bank, has been coming to Yankee games since he was a kid. His brother Bo has been a season-ticket holder and this year Brian bought a share. They always have been on the outfield wall, but in the original Stadium the seats weren't in fair territory as they are now. He said the fan next to him was wearing a baseball glove and that in reaching for the ball he came into contact with it and possibly Crowe's glove. Crowe said, "There was definitely contact between me and (the) glove." Doyle, not to be confused with the Yankees' 1978 World Series hero of the same name, and his brother have actually discussed what to do in situations where they have a shot at a ball that might be in a player's reach. "It's funny because my brother always yells at me to make sure I knock the ball or do what I need to do to help the Yankees win," he said.
