MFY's Douchebag Thread

I am picturing the "journalist" that wrote this getting all hot and bothered.

Winning brings A-Rod, Jeter together again

Once friends, then foes, Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter appear to be getting along famously these days. They drove here together yesterday from Tampa for the Yankees' split-squad 6-0 win over the Pirates. And they left together. Before the game they played catch and long toss together, ran together in the outfield and even walked into the clubhouse together along the right-field line at 12:01 after they were done with their early work while a group of Yankees were still taking batting practice. "They've definitely grown closer," one Yankee official said. New York Post

I want to vomit

[Guest Edgy DC]

I think the buddy thing was always there, but it was professionally expedient for them to keep their distance. First for Rodriguez, then for Jeter.

[Gwreck]

Thread title is redundant.

[ashie62]

They will be spooning in no time

[Ceetar]

You know, I kinda missed the "A-Rod's Boy Friend!" Chants at Citi/Shea the last couple of years. Maybe I was just in the wrong place.

Assuming that Jeter is human and not something cooked up in the lab of Bob Klapisch.

Bad ass! And a BOC nominee, too!

If they were any more queer they'd be in my asshole.

Top Yankees executive arrested on suspicion of DUI By Marc Carig/The Star-Ledger March 09, 2010, 6:43PM TAMPA, Fla. -- Mark Newman, the Yankees' senior vice president of baseball operations, has been charged on suspicion of driving under the influence. According to the Associated Press, after Newman was arrested on Monday night, he refused to take a blood-alcohol test and was released on $500 bail. Newman did not respond to a voice mail left on his cell phone. The team released a statement on the matter on Tuesday night: "The New York Yankees do not condone this kind of behavior. We take this situation seriously and we are looking into the matter. We will have no further comment at this time." Newman has been a member of the organization for 22 seasons, working primarily in player development.

[Guest Edgy DC]

The Yankees do not condone getting caught in that sort of behavior.

[Gwreck]

What about on-field personnel?

[Valadius]

Yeah, whatever happened to this guy:



Great pitcher my ass. Glad to see the MFYs had a Generation FAIL with that crop of "saviors".

Psst... Val? They won the World Series last year.

[Valadius]

Yeah, but it's not like any of those three pitchers played any kind of significant role in it. And they've already traded one of them away.

Fair point. But it's far too soon to call them a failure, especially considering they got a very good player back (Granderson) for the one they dealt.

Bbbbuttt, Your Honor, the punch missed and went 30 feet over her head.

From the NY Post 3/16/10

HOUSTON (AP)�Former major league infielder Chuck Knoblauch has pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault on his common-law wife. According to court records, Knoblauch entered his plea Tuesday in exchange for deferred-adjudication probation. Successful completion of his one-year probation could mean the conviction on the assault of a family member would be expunged from the record. Knoblauch also was fined $1,000. Knoblauch�s attorney didn�t return a telephone call Tuesday. According to a criminal complaint, Knoblauch�s wife told police he hit her in the face and choked her at their Houston home in September. The 41-year-old Houston native played for the Minnesota Twins, New York Yankees and Kansas City Royals from 1991-2002. In 12 seasons, the 1991 American League Rookie of the Year and four-time All-Star batted .289 with 98 home runs and 615 RBI.

Kennedy was the garnish. Jackson was the meat.

In walking across Dallas Braden's mound, A-Rod may have come off as unlikable, apparently dismissive, and generally giving off the waft of "entitled prick." Fair enough.

Teixeira, though? As seen here taking a cheap shot at a vulnerable third-string catcher making his first-ever MLB start-- a guy turned away from him who's not blocking the plate-- because the traffic-cop-looking-shriveldick's annoyed at getting plunked earlier in the inning, he's fucking malevolent.

The kid, Bobby Wilson, apparently suffered a Grade 2 concussion and ankle injury, and is headed for the DL. Congrats, Gritty. I hope you enjoy the fine and suspension.

[dgwphotography]

before his fine and suspension, he'd better get one in his ear...

[metirish]

What a prick, big dumb steroid user.

[Frayed Knot]

Teixeira was probably just pissed because he had been plunked.
Or maybe it's because he's hitting .117

The act of plowing over the catcher itself wasn't particularly dirty but when he's giving you the plate it's not necessary.
In the end, I doubt he winds up getting suspended - and maybe not even fined - but it's exactly the type of play the Yanx themselves would scream about if it were to happen to them; How dare you do that to us!!

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Scioscia's quoted after the game calling it a clean play. Let's hope that's for public consumption, and he's telling a different story behind the clubhouse door.

[Guest Edgy DC]

When you miss the plate to clobber the catcher, something is amiss.

[seawolf17]

Oh, they'd be going apeshit if it was, um, whoever plays for the Angels plowing into one of their guys.

Hey, wait:

Girardi goes apeshit after Elliot Johnson plows unnecessarily into Francisco Cervelli

Kendry Morales with the sweetest revenge: Game-winning 2rHR of Jobba the Fatt

[Guest Edgy DC]

Prior to the start of camp, one of Girardi's players - Shelley Duncan is a good bet - asked Girardi about planting a catcher at the plate. "I said absolutely not," said Girardi, whose team dropped a 4-1 decision.

I am so calling bullshit.

[MFS62]

Jeter would never do it because he'd be afraid of losing his gerbil.

NEW YORK�The New York Yankees unveiled a new, lesser uniform at a press conference Tuesday in an effort to distinguish ordinary, run-of-the-mill Yankees from the "true Yankee legends who walk among us." "To have Javier Vazquez don the same pinstripes as Mariano Rivera or Jorge Posada is�well, it's unthinkable," Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said as Curtis Granderson modeled the sterile, black-and-white uniform with a large, boxy, non-interlocking "NY" stitched across the front of the chest. "The untrue Yankees will wear a blank, unfitted ball cap until they have their big Yankee moment. They'll wear their last names on the backs of their lesser uniforms as a badge of shame." When asked which uniform he was assigned, Alex Rodriguez cried for 10 minutes.
