You were warned not to vote John Sterling Yankee Employee of the Month


Mike bespake the Truth of Zion in last night's postgame comment:

"We called for this. We made John Sterling the Employee of the Month... and now the whole team suffers. WHAT HAVE WE DONE???"

You were warned. Superfrankenstein and Whitey Fraud rigged the vote. And now... NOW WHAT?

Children, take out your textbooks and let us review the history of the IT IS HIGH YANKEE OF THE MONTH CURSE.

From the beginning:

Feb. 08: Phil Hughes, for blogging. CURSED. Never won a game all year.

Mar. 08: Shelley Duncan, for fighting Rays. CURSED. Hurt, sent to Scranton.

Apr. 08: Chien-Ming Wang, great spring. CURSED. Broke foot, broke down.

May 08: Jason Giambi, hot thong, mustache. CURSED, hit slump, shaved.

June 08: Sidney Ponson, great pick-up. CURSED, reverted to form.

July 08: Kei Igawa, excelling at Scranton, trade value. CURSED, still there.

Aug. 08: Carl Pavano, back from injury. CURSED, should have stayed hurt.

Sept 08: Mike Mussina, great year. CURSED, staggered to 20 wins, quit.

Oct. 08: Bobby Meachem, coach. CURSED, scapegoated, fired.

Nov. 08: Nobody named, due to anger with team. NO CURSE, decent month.

Dec. 08: Brian Cashman, for big name signings. CURSED, ignored bullpen problems.

Jan. 09: Bob Sheppard, for greatness. CURSED, missed opening day.

Feb. 09: Brett Gardner, won CF job. CURSED, lost CF job.

Mar 09: Jason Zillo, pr. CURSED, angry fanbase over stadium policies.

April. 09: Nick Swisher, hot. CURSED, ice cold, back to .220.

May 09: JOHN STERLING. CURSED. Attacked by columnists. Called Hideki's A-bomb, entire team collapsing around Voice of the Yankees.

What have we done?

What. Have. We. Done.

Ah, if only it were that easy...

You guys better find a janitor in the yankees clubhouse or a hot dog vendor or maybe just vote a loser like Veras in - could there be a double curse?

Jose Veras is a distinct possibility.

Lonn Trost?

Hey, I voted for Lonn Trost last month. Don't blame me.

We could use this to our advantage. I mean how much worse could Veras get baseball wise? I think if we vote him Mr. July we just might kill him.

JeffG said...

I heard somewhere that Jose Veras has AIDS... I vote for him.

El Duque for Yankee Employee of the Month!
