People I have no idea about, but if you put a gun to my head, I've just got to believe are YLDBs:

1. Kelly Ripa[/quote:18o1610s]

Kelly Ripa did radio commercials urging all to buy Mets tickets (a la Jon Stewart and John Leguizamo) a couple of years ago.

Keep the gun from your head.[/quote:18o1610s]

She is a friend of Willie Randolph though. And did anyone see her at Shea before Randolph was hired, or at Shea/Citi (or talk about the Mets on her show) since? Its possible that she could be a BLDB at the moment.

The city bus driver who struck and killed a pedestrian on his first day back on the job after a suspension for sending text messages threatening to hurt passengers while driving?

YLDB, of course.

Great. Sociopathic YLDBs. My favorite.

Wait - the picture was taken his first day back on the job or he struck and killed a ped his first day back on the job after the suspension?

The MTA had suspended the driver for texting while driving. On the first day his suspension ended he killed the kid (right where I used to live too -- corner of 53rd & 9th).

Granted witnesses say the kid was sprinting across the street to beat traffic, and the yldb hasn't yet been charged, but the content of the text messages (actually Facebook statuses) revealed today included "Thinking about how many people I want to kill today" and "I hate these people, I want to kick the shit out of them" and "I can't wait till it rains again so I can splash more people."

Deets in the Snooze today

Why are people running around with those backward-assed caps?

Do we need a Yankee-Lovin' Illiterates thread?

We can add to the list all those d'bags who voted for Jeter to win the Golden Glove award.
Anyone who watched him for more than 5 minutes (For Mets fans, that would have had to have been with a gun to their heads) knew that Jeter now has the range of a fire hydrant.

Phil Rizzuto once told me a story about Joe DiMaggio. One time, The Scooter jogged out to take his shortstop position at Yankee Stadium in the top of the ninth inning. The Yankees were getting clobbered, and obviously had only one more set of at-bats coming in the bottom half of the inning. Rizzuto happened to turn around as the warmup tosses were criss-crossing the outfield. He noticed DiMaggio in center field and immediately had the feeling, "We're going to win this game." Whenever he thought they were mired in a bad losing streak, he would look at DiMaggio, just watch him standing there, and think, "I know we can win this game." That taught me about leadership.


Yeah, the lesson of the Yankees is that if you get full enough of yourself, you can escape all accountability for your prior actions. You can beat the rap. You can bullshit your way through school. You can douche your way through your job. You can sweep your skeletons under the rug, smile your bullet-proof smile, treat your marriage like a joke, and talk shit to and bully any people who aren't buying it.

You don't believe me? Fuck you! Thanks for that lesson in mookdom, DiMaggio.

That warmup story reminds me of a story I read about DiMaggio after he retired. When he came up he had a great arm. But toward the end of his career, his arm was shot. During the warmups before each game, he was still able to cut loose one strong throw. The opposing team would see it, and think his arm was OK, so they wouldn't challenge his arm during the game.

Beats the story about how he kept Marilyn from running on him.

Lie to me, douchebag:

Kind of shows you the provincial, small town nature of Cleveland more than the front running doucheness of LeBron.

Would it disappoint anyone if David Wright was seen sporting a Carolina Hurricanes or Panthers shirt? Or Jeff Francoeur showing up at the Garden and rooting hard for the Hawks? Or if Johan Santana professed a love for the Vikings from being in Minnesota all those years?

Besides, isn't it better that a (insert team here)LBS really IS a fan of said team, rather than a fake phony fraud fan?

what?

It's more than a bit different. LeBron is a native son, he's been embraced as such, and in openly sporting enemy colors he's rejected it. And every time he's rejected it, it's for the glamourous frontrunner.

Wright is not a native son of New York. And who really notices if Jeff Francoeur shows up at the Garden?

And if someone happens to accidentally wear a Phillies cap to a game, that OK, too!

Truth be told, I would have felt a little conflicted had CD's kid had on a Met hat.

Plus, he's a California boy-- the MFY hat is merely an accessory over there.

Wow, I really had higher expectations for.... well, none of those people. At least, not the ones I recognized.

Who's this? Looks like Denis DeYoung.

Okay, him I disappointed in.
