KTE - NY Yankees @ NY Mets

[metirish]

Both NY teams stagger in to Citi Field tonight. Since beating Boston 10-3 two Friday's ago the MFY's have won five and lost eight . Does that surprise you?, the NY media doesn't cover Yankee losses .


WHO ARE THEY Only the greatest sports franchise ever in the history of the world (soccer doesn't count, ice hockey?..LOL )

Various Embarrassing Pictures of MFY's







Lets Go and

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I like our chances this weekend. The MFYs are looking a little less than terrific lately, won't have the DH, and the Return of Gangsta Jerry has lit my fire.

In the running for the best KTE ever!

Agreed. Love the french-kissing Jetah and - is it Sheff? - pic.

[Ceetar]

Obviously this doesn't really mean anything, but Yanks are 5 out of first place, Mets are 6.

The series' are always better when both teams are playing decently, but in this case, both playing badly works.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Can we put some line breaks between those images?

meaning?....if they are messing things up by all means do what you need to do.

[Frayed Knot]

The Yanx are actually having a weird kind of season so far in that in a lot of ways they're getting better contributions from no-name irregulars than they are from their high-priced starters.

C - Posada was hitting but playing only occasionally with a foot which now turns out to be broken and has landed him on the DL, Meanwhile, Francisco Cervelli is hitting .357/.432/.471.
1B - Teixeira started horribly and is only somewhat better lately (.214 BA). 1B/DH Nick Johnson is ... wait for it ... on the DL and needs wrist surgery
2B - Cano was great in April but has cooled
SS - Jeter has a .319 OBA
3B - ARod has just 6 HRs and most of those in the last week or two.
OF - Granderson in on the DL and Swisher has been merely OK, but Brett Gardner and Marcus Freakin' Thames have much better


What's been good is their pitching, Sabathia and Burnett as expected (except their last starts) but Phil Hughes in particular.

And you think our bench is patchwork, try Ramiro Pena (IF), Randy Winn (OF), Juan Miranda (DH/OF) and I don't even know who the new backup catcher is.

[bmfc1]

Great work.

[Gwreck]

The backup catcher is Chad Moeller (all glove, no hit); he's been around forever. This is a rare weekend series with all night games, plus an off-day Monday, so they may just start Cervelli all 3 games.

[metirish]

I have some actual real news.

The appropriateness of this KTE has an edge all its own.

Oh yeah, and she has one of those weird fake ,plastered on smiles...

Nice job Irish!

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

That is possibly the most ugly, embarrassing outfit ever. How can someone be seen in public in that get-up and not feel shame and scorn? It's like a billboard advertising "I am stupid and need Mommy to lay out my clothes in the morning."

Oh, and Steinbrenner in the plaid slacks looks bad, too. But he looks great standing next to Martin in that....costume.

[metirish]

He definitely perfected the old man look early on with the slacks pulled way up.

Y'all are making me think the guy just died.

I think he's in a coma somewhere in Florida. Seriously.

[metirish]

Ok, I know you have all noticed it...come on, lets talk about this

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

You mean the red Batphone, of course?

Or the apparently cheap taste in vodka, right?

I am not prepared to discuss any other topic relating to this photo.

[metirish]

I'm sure we would see Suzyn Waldman if the picture extended down to Lord George's feet

OH GOD PUT OUT MY BRAIN-EYES
