WVEG ( radio ) ; So, Alphonso, what brings you to Vegas?
ALPHONSO : I'm here to arrange payment options on my 11,000 - 1 bet ( placed during Spring Training, I might add ) that neither Phil nor Ian would have a win for the Yankees by the All Star break.
WVEG : But it is only May. Who is going to talk money with you at this point?
ALPHONSO : Did you watch Ian Kennedy last night? He gave up two 4 run leads faster than crows fly off roadkill when a semi is bearing down on them.
WVEG : But he is one of the top Yankee pitching prospects, and baseball is a marathon, not a sprint.
ALPHONSO : Rubbish. This guy is a first inning specialist, and that's it. And so far, no one in baseball has figured out how to use that kind of specialization effectively.
WVEG : Aren't you worried that Phil Hughes will be back on track soon?
ALPHONSO : I'm thinking of putting down another bet that Carl Pavano has a Yankee win before either of these two clowns.
WVEG: Are you feeling more confident because Ian is now headed for the DL?
ALPHONSO : You mean his " lat" injury? More rubbish. The Yankee management needs an excuse to sit this guy down. I've already offered to take him down with me to the South Mexico dirt field league, as I did with Edwar. And look how he is doing now?
WVEG: What did the Yankee brass say?
ALPHONSO: Get lost.
WVEG: How do you like the Yankee's decision to convert Joba to a starter in mid-season?
ALPHONSO: He'll be with me in Mexico by August.
WVEG: What are you going to do with all your money?
ALPHONSO: We are thinking of adding a "Tommy John " surgical clinic to Rose's Cantina in my favorite Mexico town, so Yankee prospect pitchers can drink and re-hab in the sun.
Also, the peso is worth a lot more than the dollar. Or fresh cactus.
Dear Jesus (and I don't mean Savior Montero),
ReplyDeleteThis entry and the one before it re: Phil Hughes' blog are two reasons why this is the funniest Yankees blog on the net.
Congrats on viewer 100,000, I wish it could have been me.
Good luck, god speed and keep up the good work,

Crows flying off of roadkill as a semi bears down on them? Interesting analogy... Did you see that first hand with Edwar while sitting up against a palm tree?
ReplyDeleteMichael,
ReplyDeleteThere are no roads in south Mexico where a semi can roll.
I saw it on 81 near Cortland.
