MFY's Douchebag Thread

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Kay's a total MFY overdog pussy, terrified of being behind a loser.

Yesterday I caught him explaining away the weekend embarrassment by saying it wasn't a matter of the Mets playing well but the MFYs sucking.

Yeah with those shit starters they threw at us and all.

[Centerfield]

Michael Kay is a tool.

Sterling is a bafoon.

Joe Girardi is a bollox , but you all knew that anyway

MINNEAPOLIS - Eight days after Joe Girardi protested what he believed to be an illegal pitching change by the Red Sox, he found himself the target of another manager's criticism. Following Wednesday night's 3-2 Yankees win, Twins skipper Ron Gardenhire expressed his displeasure with Girardi, who sent Andy Pettitte to the mound for the ninth inning, then walked to the mound to bring in Mariano Rivera before Pettitte threw a pitch. "You don't normally get that long in between innings to do all of that," Gardenhire said. "But that's a situation Major League Baseball needs to take care of. If your bullpen isn't ready and the starter goes out there, he should have to face a batter. That's just the way it should be." Girardi defended his move, saying he was playing "within the rules. "I have that option to send the starter out there to get my closer ready," said Girardi, who wasn't going to bring Rivera in until Nick Swisher gave the Yankees a lead with his two-out homer in the ninth.

Gay Jay Burnett leaves the MFY game with cuts on BOTH hands after "punching something" between innings of a humiliating MFY loss on Old Timer's Day.

Yogi, btw, missed the event after a fall at home.

Anything else about Yogi?
I did not hear this.
Nothing serious, I hope.

[seawolf17]

Tripped up the steps yesterday, apparently. Nothing serious, from what I read, but he just couldn't make it today.

Something was fishy about this though.
AJ was struggling in the 2nd and the Yanx got someone up in the pen in the middle of the inning.
He got out of the inning and the guy sat down. Then he struggled again in the 3rd and suddenly he was injured and couldn't continue.
If he punched anything it was after the 2nd but he was already in trouble before then. Sounded as if the injury were concocted or at least embellished so as to give the reliever more time to warm up.
Announcers - Albert & McCarver - wondered about a pie-ing injury from yesterday but were clearly speculating out their blow-holes.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

He apparently told the trainer he fell between innings, then confessed to pushing open double doors with both hands, suffering cut on both hands. As if that's any more plausible. Girardi was bending over backwards to say how embarrassed Burnett was about it and insisting he wouldn't miss a start.

[metirish]

He won't miss a start cos he's "such a gamer " I bet.....that fucking Girardi is the biggest douchebag of them all.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

It's comforting to know the MFYs have him locked up at 16.5 million a year for the next 3 years.

[MFS62]

I don't remember Paul O'Neill getting hurt when he punched things.
Maybe steroids toughen the hands.

Later

For such a "classy" organization they certainly walk the line between legal and cheating so closely I can see the chalk flying up.

Why, they're practically fascist Nazi communists!

(Weird but true: at roughly the same time McCarver was using MFY sad-panda week as a departure point to talk about Torre's getting the alternative-history treatment, I was at a Midtown bar, where my wife's colleague was taking the wheel of a conversation about work schedules and child care, steering it suddenly into a frank discussion of her husband's recent infidelity. I was meeting her for the first time. It felt about as comfortable as this.)

Breaking: Darth Vader is, in fact, a MFY fan.

http://threevillage.patch.com/articles/east-setauket-bank-robbed-by-costumed-thief

Police are investigating a robbery late Thursday morning at Chase Bank at 4080 Nesconset Highway in East Setauket in which an armed man wearing a Darth Vader helmet and cape fled after receiving an undisclosed amount of money.

An eyewitness said the thief had a "young voice," as if he were in his late teens or early 20s, and was about six feet tall. She said the thief stashed the money in a drawstring backpack with a New York Yankees logo and ran after punching a muscular male customer who tried to intervene.

Raissman looking at possible end of Waldman and Sterling.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

1. I like Sterling more than Raissman
2. The real heartbreaking news is here:

METS WANT HAGIN BACK When Wayne Hagin left the Mets radio booth at the end of the season he was a man without a contract. However, unlike the Yankees, the Mets pay more attention to their WFAN booth. Mets brass wants Hagin back working with Howie Rose. The FANdroids and Hagin's agent are currently in discussions about his return to the booth in 2011. The Mets contract with FAN expires in 2013.

The more I stare at this, the more it seems like a koan that I don't get.

Jim Leyritz was acquitted of manslaughter. The only conviction was for DUI, a misdemeanor (!).

[Guest Edgy DC]

Thing was that his victim was clearly intoxicated too. I'm left wondering if being out on the streets at holiday time in the late hours in Fort Lauderdale, you're taking your life in your hands --- that an unthinkable percentage of drivers are out there under the influence.

It might be lower, of course, if they elevated the seriousness of it above a misdemeanor.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Peyser's generally pretty terrible, if I recall correctly.

But her subject's a little worse.

"My life was dragged though the mud because I was a Yankee. I got tried because I'm an athlete! There was a good chance I was innocent!" ... he saved his most pointed barbs for his victim -- a waitress and mother who died as she headed home from work in Florida at 3 a.m. three years ago, her Mitsubishi Montero struck by Leyritz's Ford Expedition as he left his birthday bacchanalia. "I knew the girl," he revealed. "She was a dancer at one of the nightclubs." So was Fredia Veitch, 30, a stripper? I asked. "I don't like to use the word," he said, chuckling. "She's a party girl." "There was no reason for her to be in the intersection at 50 miles an hour, with a .18 blood-alcohol level, her husband bombarding her with text messages. Probably what happened is she got distracted."

I'd agree, even though I hate Peyser so much that I stopped reading her years and years ago. I wouldn't read Peyser even if I'm certain that I'd agree with her particular column: I fear that I'd end up disagreeing with her even when I shouldn't, solely because of my hatred for her. Sometimes I think that she's the unhappiest, most miserable wretch ever to report news.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

She seems like the kind of person that really, really likes her cats, but really, really can't stand anyone or anything else.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Those quotes are pretty disgusting.

[metirish]

What a terrible person Jim Leyritz is.

She might like her cats ... if they were celibate. But if Andrea were to ever find out that her cats like to get it once in a while, those cats would end up on her shitty kitty list.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Peyser may be an awful writer, but she landed the kind of quotes most reporters dream of. My God, Magnum!

[HahnSolo]

I'm sure he'll get a nice long ovation at this year's Old Timer's Day.
