Mariano Rivera’s baseball career, in R #yankees #rstats

Cliff Lee: #RedSox moves, #Yankees age made NY his third choice

RT @RedSox: Six years ago, #RedSox begin comeback vs. #Yankees in '04 ALCS thanks to David Ortiz's walk-off HR.

that Duncan's a klassy guy

“Red Sox Nation?” Hank says. “What a bunch of [expletive] that is...Go anywhere in America and you won’t see Red Sox hats and jackets, you’ll see Yankee hats and jackets. This is a Yankee country.” - more klassy commentary from Hankenstein

"Seeing the way the Yankees and Red Sox have poured money into young talent, it's surprising that rebuilding teams haven't topped them. Why don't the Orioles spend $10MM on the next draft and just not sign Josh Fogg?" - good question

"You think the Red Sox didn't have players doing stuff back then? Give me a break. They just weren't as good as us, and neither was anybody else." - diplomacy, thy name is Hankenstein

just...wow

ok, seriously? where's Buchholz's blog?

i'd take Hughes over Ellsbury too - and actually hope the Yankees do, if the Mets don't - but i think this undervalues Ellsbury's on base skills, as he's never been below .360 as a pro, and that was in the AFL. still, good analysis.

"Some Rudy Giuliani volunteers bused here from New York City struck out as they went door to door in advance of Tuesday's Granite State primary while wearing caps or jackets of the hated New York Yankees." - hahaha. good luck w/ that in NH

see his apology and acceptance of responsibility on page 4, in particular. good to see someone owning up to the damage he's caused via steroids and PEDs.

pretty much what i endured during my NYC tenure

"I've talked to Joe actually a lot this year, just never on the field because people don't want to see that," said Francona, Boston's manager. "People who know me know the respect I have for Joe." - a very classy statement from Francona

"If you're a die-hard Yankee backer these days, fun means absolutely nothing. Fun is for failures." - not that we're innocent of this, but the Yankee mantra of no World Series = failure completely misses the point, IMO

that said, my sincere condolences to Yankees fans: Scooter was always a character. a good ballplayer, as my grandfather would have put it.

"Yankee fans are passionate about their teams, but they're a little more couth." - Gary Matthews, you just made my enemies list. also, have you been to NY?

"Meaning you could take the Red Sox's current payroll, add the salaries of Ichiro Suzuki, Miguel Tejada, Kevin Millwood, Barry Zito, Albert Pujols, Dontrelle Willis, and still be about $1 million shy of the Yankees' current payroll." - we're _not_ the NYY

hilarious, but where's Ellen Pompeo?

"The Yankees watched the end of Schilling’s game in the clubhouse Thursday afternoon. When Shannon Stewart broke up the no-hitter, the room erupted in cheers, players bursting from their seats and shouting." - Klassy with a capital K

or, as Mike Meyers once put it, Boston fans love baseball, Yankees fans like winning; i miss having O-Cab around

answer: yes

"We found the results of this poll posted on the Daily News website pretty humorous: What do you think of the Yankees getting swept? I'm devastated - 14% They lost because of all the injuries - 38% I'm glad - I hate the Yankees - 48%" - no, i didn't vote

"My favorite was printed in the Harvard Crimson a few years ago..." a little crude, but comedy nonetheless

"That said, I believe that just as Spider Man's body eventually rejected that black symbiote suit, Nixon's body would probably repel the Yankee jersey." - if there is a god, Nixon will not sign w/ the Yankees

classy gesture from the Yanks; these things trancend baseball

whatever may be said about Scoble, at least he's not a Yankee's fan

i've gotta admit that even i'm a Mike & the Mad Dog fan; unlike the drivetime hosts in Boston, they know their material backwards and forwards, and actually have interesting guests

"Look, you know I hate the Yankees. It's well-documented. But you can't have an All-Star Game without Jeter. You just can't." - never thought i'd see the day

high comedy
