It is time for take nominations for September Yankee Employee of the Month


Yankiverse, the time draws near to select from the population of the World's Greatest Sports Entity one lone person, one lone employee, on soul who can wear the distinction -- all the way to his or her grave -- of having been YANKEE EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH.

I call upon each of you to stare wide-eyed into the jaws of hell that is your beating heart and come up with one name, one person, one Yankee employee, who deserves to be considered for this august honor. Even in September.

I also urge you to reject the dogma that a "curse" exists for such a distinction. We do not believe in curses. We do not believe in ghosts. We do not believe in the Loch Ness monster. We do not believe that for every drop of rain that falls, a flower grows.
We must not yield to the forces of insipidipity!


YANKIVERSE, IT IS TIME
TO NOMINATE THE CANDIDATES
FOR YOUR SEPTEMBER
YANKEE EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH.

SEXY KIM JONES for her weekend with John!

Geofredo said...

Ian Kennedy - coming back from arm vein explosion.

Whitey Fraud said...

Joba... for obvious reasons.

Steven said...

Mr Sterling just called Mr Jeter an amazing human being...agreed sir, agreed!! Base hit on the first pitch, and stole second base...What an amazing human being!

Keith said...

Can we elect just simply the word "Flabergasted," it's had a bigger impact than any single player

The Ghost of Scott Brosius said...

I second Keith's nominee

Jim Leyritz's Cellmate said...

I may have to withdraw my nomination of Joba after tonight and back Keith. Or maybe submit Lester.

Jim Leyritz's Cellmate said...

Nevermind. Fuck you, Joba. The nomination holds.

BernBabyBern said...

Ian, for his stirring return from whatever it was that was wrong with him

Joba, for his stirring... whatever

"Nate," the kid who was forced to turn his Yankee shirt inside-out

Jorge, for his inspirational cheap-shot elbow

Shelly Duncan, for waiting all year to be recalled to the bigs, and immediately jumping into a fight and getting suspended

Kei, because, well, he's Kei

DEREK JETER

John Lester.

Jason Varitek!

Not only should he be employee of the month but I say he is the Yankee MVP.

He is most adept at playing along with the Yankee running game and this year he is hitting .080/.161/.220 against the Yankees.

His WAR for the Yanks must be through the roof.

Ian Kennedy for flabbergasting the heretofore-thought-unflabbergastable John Sterling.

dadlak said...

Or Joe Girardi for the flabbergasting call to the bullpen.

The Rashblog said...

Kim Jones, Ian Kennedy, and Shelley Duncan for the obvious (already listed) reasons.

Melky Cabrera, for zapping Lester.

Dan Shaughnessy, for tempering our expectations. The redsocks laid down and let us have the East.

Juan Miranda.

Kenny Phelps said...

Although some consideration must be given to the "screamer", I think I need to go with Ian Kennedy.

B Jeers said...

I'm nominating Peter Abraham.

Pretty soon we'll be able to go into a Red Sox blog and feel like we own the joint.

Chris R said...

B. Cashman for spending the millions wisely 7 and for being a stone cold gansta

Derek Jeter for being an amazing human being

Dekabreak said...

The screamer.
