Pedro's Good Luck Charm

R.I.P. You wonderful ball of energy

What the Fuck?!?

Five Games, Five Losses, Five Brutal performances by the Yankee bullpen. Last nights wonderful performance by Mike Myers was hopefully the end of me screaming at the television in a fit of rage for the next few weeks.

I still cannot figure out why in the hell Mike Myers was attempting to throw Carl Crawford a breaking ball low and in with two strikes. Way to speed his bat up Mike. You're a fucking superstar.

I hope he keeps this up

Yanks score 6 runs with 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th to beat the Erie Warriors 8-6 this afternoon.

The following discussion on SNY's Sportsnite took place after the game,

SNY Anchor: “…playing devils advocate, A-rod setting himself up for an even bigger downfall, is he? He’s so hot in the beginning, what happens in the end? How long can he keep this going?”

Idiot SNY Analyst: “See I don’t think that’s what Yankee fans are really concerned about. I think the biggest issue right now is Yankee fans simply want to know how long they can keep winning with darryl rasner, and kei igawa, and jeff karstens pitching this weekend.

Hey, Fuck face. I am a Yankee fan and you obviously, are not. I am concerned with A-Rod. I am waiting for the day he goes back to his old-self, popping up with runners on, striking out after the 7th inning. He's doing way to well to keep this up all year. Yes, he has come through against shit pitching this year in clutch situations but I am worried that he will set himself up for a bigger downfall. This weekend is a huge litmus test for him.


I'm not worried about the Yanks rotation, it's too early. I'll start to get all ancy in my pantsy at the end of June.

D-1 Baseball in New York County

Columbia University's Andy Coakley Field. Interesting to note that Center Field is not the deepest part of the park.
That would be the Right and Left field foul lines (About 360', quite a poke) since the Harlem River shapes the outfield causing it to look like a heart. The left side of the infield is unfinished with astro turf by the third-base coaches box due to the little space available. The Visitors dugout also has a weird shape to it by being curved and under the football field. There is also very little room down the right field line where a huge concrete wall is only a few feet away from the foul line.

Greatest Yankee Left Fielder of the 90s

A promising rookie who showed flashes of brilliance in his one year in pinstripes and the first Yankee I ever liked when I was 8 years old. Sadly, the Yanks didn't have confidence in Mr. Azocar and traded him to the Padres for a player to be named later. It was not until Chad Curtis came to town that Left Field once again had steady play.

Carl Pavano is a Pussy

Carl Pavano seen here doing something I didn't know he could actually do, stay healthy enough to pitch.

However, Mr. Pavano apparently did something I had no idea was possible, Pavano was scratched from a scheduled start Saturday due to stiffness in his right forearm..

Forearm stiffness?!?! Grow a sack Pavano. The Yankees need to start docking his pay. This is insane.

Asian Mullet + Cocaine + 1980s Sportscast = Greatest clip I've ever seen

1) Love the Dot-Matrix printer paper.

2) Was the shoe throw part of a sweeps week stunt?

Greatest Yankee Right Fielder Ever?

Possibly. Sandwiched somewhere between Ruth and O'Neill. My Dad and I will never forget the throw he made in 1991 at the Metrodome when he threw out Chili Davis attempting to get to third base after tagging up. Barfield was 20ft in front of the Hefty Bag and launched an absolute lazer to Pat Kelly on the fly.

The All-Roids Team part 1

Barry before his head grew 5 inches

Bonds, Sosa, McGwire, Palmero-Palmerio-Palmiaro, fuck it, you know who I'm talking about. Those names are all synonamus with steroid use. Everyone knows that.

I decided to rack my brain and think of people who took steroids that slipped under everyones' radar. Some you know, some you don't. Hell, one of them even admitted taking them before he died.

Without further ado, here is the first part of the list, The Infield.

Fuck You you cheating bastards.


Sandy Alolmar Jr. - Catcher (Tie)
Is/Was he on steroids? Maybe. What I want to know is how
was he a 6-time All-Star?!?!? He's fucking terrible. 324AVG 21HR 83RBI one year and 235avg 6hr 44rbi the next? Talk about a lack of production. What did he do? Forget to pay his dealer? Not to mention he was an All-Star that year!! Holy Shit!! That is embarassing.

Todd Hundley - Catcher (tie) - Randy Hundley II was the man who started this discussion. It is simply amazing how with the aid of a needle, some cream, and a few weighted trunk twists, 15hr 51rbi one year can turn into 41hr 112rbi. A truly great job of showing how one's chemist can suddenly help you put up hall of fame numbers yet suddenly spiral into mediocraty again.
http://www.baseball-reference.com/h/hundlto01.shtml

Terry Steinbach - Catcher (tie) - A good contact hitter with decent numbers all of a sudden rivals Hundley in a "Holy Shit how did that happen season?!?!?" Just look at 1996. Again, I won't listen to anything other
than guilt. http://www.baseball-reference.com/s/steinte01.shtml

Brad Fullmer - 1B (tie) - Even if he passed his piss test I wouldn't believe it. Fullmer looked like he could reverse curl 400lbs without straining. He's listed at 6'1 185lbs. Are you kidding me?!?! Was that in high school? Does he look like he weighs 185lbs in the picture to the left?
http://www.baseball-reference.com/f/fullmbr01.shtml

Jeff Bagwell - 1B (tie) - I know this one is pretty obvious. Stretch marks on a persons cheek is normal right? http://www.baseball-reference.com/b/bagweje01.shtml

Davey Johnson - 2B (tie) - Since Arnold was taking them in 1973, so was this guy.
However, he could fall into the category of "I didn't know what I was
taking". Still, the one breakout season he had is insane. Almost Brady Anderson like? http://www.baseball-reference.com/j/johnsda02.shtml

Brett Boone - 2B (tie) - It's always normal when a second baseman looks like a left-guard. Sure, it was the crappy American League pitching that caused him to destroy the baseball. Popeye didn't have forearms that big.
http://www.baseball-reference.com/b/boonebr01.shtml

Carlos Baerga - 2B (tie) - Props to my brother for this one. Apparently the government put the kaibash on him receiving packages from the homeland to aid his performance after 1995.
http://www.baseball-reference.com/b/baergca01.shtml

Ken Caminiti - 3B - He died from them, I guess that counts.
http://www.baseball-reference.com/c/caminke01.shtml

Kevin Elster - SS (tie) - Another one people forget. I remember that big year he had, do you? It was insane. The ball wasn't the only thing "juiced." http://www.baseball-reference.com/e/elsteke01.shtml

John Valentin - SS (tie) - 1995 anyone? Another overlooked juice monkey.
http://www.baseball-reference.com/v/valenjo02.shtml

Jay Bell - SS (tie) - I doubt it, but numbers don't lie. You never know what Bonds gave to him when Jay was a member of Pittsburgh's killer "Bs". Plus I hate people that wear glasses and play shortstop.

I'll take my crow medium rare please

Sometimes the blind squirrel gets an acorn.

A-Rod earned his salary yesterday by hitting a walk-off grand slam to beat the birds.

My hat is off to you sir but I will not jump on the "he's clutch now" bandwagon.

When he starts hitting in the playoffs and against the Sox I will stop bashing him.

Devil Rays 7, Yankees 6

NEW YORK (AP) -- Alex Rodriguez had a great opportunity to turn Yankees fans in his favor.

Once again, he flopped.

Rodriguez popped out against rookie reliever Brian Stokes with the bases loaded to end the eighth inning, and the Tampa Bay Devil Rays spoiled Andy Pettitte's return to New York with a 7-6 victory Thursday night.

"It was frustrating. He gave me a good pitch to hit and I didn't do much with it," Rodriguez said. "A fat pitch. It was right there."



You know what is frustrating? He does this all the time. Every game it's the same quote. Come through for once in your life. He really does suck.

New Look Same Crap

It's that time of year again. Cherry Blossoms appear, kids everywhere are excited at the prospect of summer break, and Alex "Please Like Me" Rodriguez returns to baseball as the most impressive meaningless stat producer in the game.
t
Just take a look at his wonderful outing yesterday, 1st inning, one out, two men on, 3-2 count, chance to break the game open in the first at-bat, A-Rod goes down swinging. However, this is unusual since A-Rod is normally impossible to get out in the first few innings. Nevertheless, important situation, A-Rod chokes.

Fast-Forward to the ninth inning, two outs, already up by two runs, A-Rod proceeds to hit a 400+ft bomb to center and extend the Yankees lead to 9-5. Yesterday was A-Rod in a nutshell.

Let the madness begin.
