The Dynasty Crumbles - the 2013 MFY Thread

[Theoldmole]

If George were alive, he'd be turning over in his grave?

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

Most vicious zombie ever.

[Edgy MD]

Dynasty ain't all that's crumbling. Reports pouring out that Jeter's still got a crack in that ankle and won't be back until after the All Star Break.

[ashie62]

All star break..at best.

[Frayed Knot]

Not that I root for injuries or anything, but I am getting a kick out of this news solely for the reason that so many thought (and some even stated as if un-arguable fact) that Jetes was a lock to be ready for opening day simply because he was going to be able to will it to be so on account of his high level of overall Jeter-ness.
Yeah, turns out that he's subject to the same laws of physics and biology as everyone else.

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

How is this going to affect the status of the New York based ASG as tribute to Jeter's jeterness?

[Edgy MD]

I seem to also recall a lot of (a LOT of) arguments that it was prudent to overpay Jeter over the course of his contract, and add any years he thought he had coming to him, because he wasn't the type to take the money if he couldn't answer the bell. He'd retire rather than shamelessly accept pay from the team for sub-Jeteriffic outcomes.

My formula for predicting when a baseball player will return from an injury is to always double the amount of time the team says will transpire before the player returns.

Sure, or, at best, I go with a 50% increase: two weeks means three, six weeks means nine, etc. My overall point just was that, in the minds of some anyway, Jeter was was immune to such mortal standards.

Too bad your formula didn't apply to Ike Davis' ankle injury in 2011. He would have only missed about four games.

He'll either win the voting or be added as a sub and then starting SS Elvis Andrus will come down with a mysterious injury the day before, allowing them to start him.

FUCKING HELL, METS. WHY ARE YOU GOING TO LET THAT HAPPEN?

Overall, I'm way more accurate than whatever info the teams are putting out, but sometimes, I miss badly.

They'll have to move the ASG to YSIII to compensate.

Duh! Honorary Captain.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

I am shocked-- SHOCKED-- to hear such implications and imputations about a player who's gone through a massive performance boost in the last three years.

The spokeswoman for Robinson Cano's foundation is listed as having been a client of the Biogenesis clinic last summer, although she denies having received anything from the clinic and says Cano "definitely never did..." ... Cano has denied knowing clinic founder Tony Bosch or having ever used performance-enhancing drugs. But as his best friend, Melky Cabrera, his mentor, Alex Rodriguez, and now his spokeswoman have all been connected to clinic documents, MLB wants to know whether any relationship between Cano and the clinic exists.

Why, I've half a mind to have you removed from here for such an insult, you fanatic.

... I and many others in our section witnessed two individuals in Yankees jackets, complete with Yankees lanyard ID tags walk into our seating area and point out to Toronto police two fans who were chirping and heckling the Yankees bullpen. One individual, who was later violently arrested, did nothing but look at these two Yankees �men in black�. After starting a chant to the tune of �Yankees suck�, one of these bullpen trolls decided to photograph me with their mobile device. With a disgusting smile, he waved at me.

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy... Francisco Cervelli out for at least six weeks after fracturing his right hand.......then Nova had to leave the game with elbow soreness.

[Frayed Knot]

Did he break it pumping his fist (as he seems to do each and every a Yanqui pitcher records a strike-out)?

That's the motion to trigger the PC Richards jingle in the stadium. He's contractually obligated to do so.

[Zvon]

I'll run this one out every chance I get.

[ashie62]

He broke it stuffing cash into an envelope..

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

The Blue Jays are an international disgrace, and gift-wrapped yet another one for the MFYs today.

[ashie62]

With all their problems the MFY's are off to a very good start. Why shoud I be surprised?

Pettitte's first bad outing of the year - and it comes against the only club that qualifies as a former employer for him.
Bet they're enjoying this one back in east Texas
