Speech

I bet he came clean about that night in Atlanta...

Is it me or does ray Lewis look like bane with that facemask?

People of Tokyo, Seek Shelter

With a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound
He pulls the spitting high tension wires down

Helpless people on a subway train
Scream bug-eyed as he looks in on them

He picks up a bus and he throws it back down
As he wades through the buildings toward the center of town

Oh no, they say hes got to go
Go go godzilla, yeah
Oh no, there goes tokyo
Go go godzilla, yeah

Rinji news o moshiagemasu!
Rinji news o moshiagemasu!
Godzilla ga ginza hoomen e mukatte imasu!
Daishkyu hinan shite kudasai!
Daishkyu hinan shite kudasai!

Oh no, they say hes got to go
Go go godzilla, yeah
Oh no, there goes tokyo
Go go godzilla, yeah

History shows again and again
How nature points up the folly of men
Godzilla!

CC Went 8 innings, Matsui went deep, not too shabby.

This I like

Nice to see the Yankees actually play like a ballclub that is worth more than the gross domestic product of a third world country. Pettite looked somewhat like the Pettite of old, 2 runs over 6 innings. I guess I'm still old fashioned when I think that 6 innings really isn't a great outing by a starting pitcher. But I guess I can save that "Cranky Old Man" rant for another day.

I still don't think this team can play the way they did last night for the rest of this month, but I can dream. Baby steps. Oh yeah, Texiera, any fucking time would be great. Please end your slump, it's painful to see that horrible grimace you make as you watch hittable pitches go by for called strike three every other at-bat.

What Could Go Wrong?

Coming this fall to VERSUS!! Football that's not the NFL or NCAA!!!!! Feel the excitement!!!

I can't believe that this actually exists. As much as I want to see this league burn into a fiery wreckage for the reason that since it is different from the NFL, it must be bad. However, if teams in this league run the option, call me a hypocrite, I will become a die-hard fan of the Big Willie named "Hartford Heartbreakers".

What I really question about the league is when they are going to play. According to their website, The UFL will play in the fall, during traditional football season, to establish the league as a viable entity and will offer real, 11-on-11, outdoor professional football in NFL quality stadiums/venues. The UFL will play its regular season games on Thursday and Friday evenings in the fall, with the first regular season game kicking off in October and the Championship Game tentatively scheduled for Thanksgiving weekend.

Really UFL? The fall? The type of thinking has me believing that the person in charge of this operation thinks along the same lines as the picture above.

Top 5 Yankees That I Hate

As my first post on the blog, I give you:


THE TOP FIVE YANKEES THAT I HATE


5. Alfonso Soriano - He always made that huge-ass bat look so light. Smacking his gum... smack smack smack swing friggin gone. And another Frank Castillo outing ruined during the first AB.

4. David Justice - WHO PUNCHES HALLE BERRY???

3. Clemens - Nothing to like about him when he was on the other team. What a bastard. Rubbing the Ruth statue and all that attention-seeking bullshit. What a douchebag.

2. Wade Boggs - Another traitorous monster chicken freak. I used to love him. I had his Starting Lineup figure. I loved him. He played third, like me! I used to mimic that swing that swiveled up by his head at the end. Then he went to the Yanks. I literally hung my Starting Lineup firgure off my bed. Noosetastic!

1. Paul O'Neill - I don't care if he had a great scene in Seinfeld:

KRAMER: Mr. O'Neill?

O'NEILL: Yeah.

KRAMER: Yeah, uh, look, you don't know me.

O'NEILL: I can give you an autograph there, but my pen's kind of screwed up. You'd only like half a "P" or something.

KRAMER: No, it's uh, not that see,. It's about a little boy in a hospital. I was wondering if you could do something to lift his spirits.

O'NEILL: Sure, I could help you there.

KRAMER: Sure, well I promised you would hit him two home runs.

O'NEILL: Say what?

KRAMER: You know, Klick!. A couple of dingers.

O'NEILL: You promised a kid in the hospital that I would hit two home runs?

KRAMER: Yeah, well, no good?

O'NEILL: Yeah. That's no good. It's terrible. You don't hit home runs like that. It's hard to hit home runs. And where the heck did you get two from?

KRAMER: Two is better than one.

O'NEILL: That, that's ridiculous. I'm not a home run hitter.

KRAMER: Well, Babe Ruth did it.

O'NEILL: He did not.

KRAMER: Oh, do you say that Babe Ruth is a liar?

O'NEILL: I'm not calling him a liar but he was not stupid enough to promise two.

KRAMER: Well, maybe I did overextend myself.

O'NEILL: How the heck did you get in here anyway?

He's still an asshole. He would, with certainty, be my favorite player ever if he'd been on the Sox. But he wasn't, and thus he's an asshole.

Yankees players I like:

1. Derek Jeter - I would kill to be him for a day. Just one day.

2. Non-Syphilitic Scott Brosius - As Boston fans, we always appreciated Brosius' wholesome charms. He probably married a nice preacher's daughter. We gave him lots of nicknames, like Atrocious Brosius. Atrocious Brosius was a complement. We really liked him.

3. Ricky Henderson - In any capacity, he's on the "like" list.

Serenity Now!

Tonight's game is not even over, but in reality, it is. I can't take the shit that is being broadcast to me over my television. The Yankees fucking suck. No other way to put it. This has been going on for roughly five years. I will now predict what will happen for the rest of the season. Continue to suck in May, slightly better in June, .500 for the month of July, hot streak in August which will lead to Baseball Tonight talking about "This is the team they expected, impossible to beat them when they play like this, etc", have a cocktease race for the Wild Card with the White Sox or some other sub-par team out of the Central for about a week, go 1-7 on a road trip and finish out the season 8 games over .500 and end up in 3rd place. (Swisher just struck out, game over).

I honestly do not know what it will take for this organization to realize that just throwing money at free agents like a retarded trust fund kid at the scene of a car accident is not the answer to their problems or how to win a World Series. The Yankee dynasty of the 90s was the result of George Steinbrenner not being allowed to be involved in the day to day operations of the team due to his suspension for hiring a schmuck to find dirt on Dave Winfield. I know that Steinbrenner is currently in an oxygen tent somewhere with Al Davis complementing each other on their white windbreakers and their success at ruining once proud franchises. (I also know that Hank is in charge these days, but I ask you this, is he really? Or is Hank really just George in a younger man's body through some amazing science experiment that has succeeded).

Gene "Stick" Michael was allowed to run the show when George wasn't around and he slowly built up a great team through the draft, key trades (Roberto Kelly for Paul O'Neill anyone?), and free agents that were solid, I repeat, solid players that were not the most expensive on the market.

Where have you gone Charlie Hayes, Mariano Duncan, Tim Raines, Jeff Nelson, Chad Curtis, etc?

While I'm reminiscing about the good old days of the 90s Yankees, remember when they used to have concerts after the game? I do. Yanks beat the Brewers, double play ended the game and then this group followed. They were the first band I ever saw in concert.
