MFYs Who Also Happen To Be Douchebags: 2011

[Benjamin Grimm]

When you have the ghost of Bea Arthur with you, there's no need for porn!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Are you picturing some sort of perverted, Ghost-like scenario?

[Benjamin Grimm]

I really haven't thought it out in great detail. I'll leave that to your own imagination.

[G-Fafif]

Right on Maude!

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

You think a guy who fancies himself as a centaur would pause, even for a moment, at the idea of being fed popcorn from a ghost?

[Fman99]

Is it too immodest to think that my influence as a CPF member these last few years has led to a marked increase in the percentage of threads that reference both Bea Arthur AND pornography?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Oh, Blanche, I think you know the sexy, yet manly-gripped answer to that.

[Fman99]

I met Bea Arthur once. Couldn't have been nicer.

We were using adjacent urinals.

Thank you Jeffrey Ross.

God will get you for that, Walter.

Cashman continues to... em... enjoy a somewhat relaxed preseason... while Joba enjoys Grand Slams.

Cashman on Joba: "he's heavier." How much heavier? "He's heavier." Is he out of shape? "He's heavier." #gotit =#004000]42 minutes ago via Twitter for BlackBerry� Retweeted by 8 people

I presume he's still blaming the swarm of gnats for his continued faults.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

It's probably just firewater weight.

[Frayed Knot]

Sabathia has reportedly lost about 30 pounds ... sounds like Joba found them.

Don't you just love when douchebags turn on each other?

Yankees co-chairman Hank Steinbrenner thinks his team�s celebration of its 2009 World Series championship may have lasted too long. �I think, maybe, they celebrated too much last year,� Steinbrenner said Monday. �Some of the players, too busy building mansions and doing other things and not concentrating on winning. I have no problem saying that.�

Of course, it was Jeter who was busy building a mansion in Tampa last year.

[Edgy MD]

That's a flame job right there. Hopefully there's a dozen reporters grilling Jeter for a response tomorrow morn.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

You kidding? They'll write columns defending Jeter and ripping Steinbrenner!

"The fiscal collapse of 2008 saw the bottom fall out of the Florida housing market. Suddenly, no one was building new homes in the state. But this did not deter Derek Jeter. Showing the same leadership he displays on the hallowed field of Yankee Stadium, Jeter steadfastly brought hope and inspiration to the American economy by building a new house in Florida against the odds."

[Edgy MD]

I think Hank will time his tirades as thirtieth anniversary tributes to his father's most famous tantrums.

Bam! Perfect.

ESPN uses the Yankees penchant towards douchebaggery as the premise of their Sunday Night Baseball ad.

[Willets Point]

You want to work for the Yankees because you're drawn to the mystique and aura of that proud franchise? Guess what? Your employers are douchebags and they're ripping you off!

[Willets Point]

Overrated douchebags.

[Fman99]

What I like is this linked story. That's right, Jeter is New York's all time favorite athlete. Like this poll means anything. ANYTHING.

I say let's take the DeLorian back to 1927 or so and see if we can scare up some more votes for the Babe.

One year of Jeter-ing

June 1, 2010 - May 31, '11 = 742 PAs; 657 ABs; 169 HIts; 25 2Bs; 3 3Bs; 7 HRs; 18 SBs; 6 CS; .257/.333/.336
Career averages thru 2009 = 746 PAs; 659 ABs; 209 Hits; 34 2Bs; 5 3Bs; 18 HRs; 24 SBs; 7 CS; .317/.388/.459



Oh yeah, He's back!!

[Edgy MD]

Less than a score from hit 3000, so brace yourself for an orgy of Jetermania.

I'm trying to think of the least awesome way he can get 3000.

Afternoon game against the Reds, one of those squib hits that somehow finds noone to boost his .350 BABIP and doesn't score the tying run from second and the Yankees lose?

Either that or a towering 450 home run..that turns out to be his last home run ever and he declines even further from that very moment to the point that in late September when the Yankees are tanking and missing the playoffs Hank Steinbrenner mouths off about how Jeter was only about 3000 and stopped trying afterwards.

[metsmarathon]

i'd like to think the best way he can get 3000 is for it to be a grossly botched safe call. or if he gets thrown out trying to leg it into a double, or taking a wide turn. something like that.

That's a good one. I'd love the ump to call him safe when he's like halfway down the line. make the play completely about something else rather than the hit.

[Frayed Knot]

Craig Biggio got thrown out at 2nd trying to stretch a single on his 3,000th hit - but I think Houston fans saw it more as a symbol of his hustling style rather than a stain on the moment. It helped that he was 5-for-5 on that day IIRC.
