In rejecting austerity, Euro voters send urgent message to Steinbrothers regime

Honest social lugnuts across Europe - cobblers, smithys and work-doers, folks whose grandpappies watched Yankee lineups decimated by World War II - have rejected austerity and are telling the Yank braintrust: Don't cut payroll, you stewpid American peegs.

They realize that super-heirs Hal and Hank Steinbrenner's fiscal policies - vowing to cut budget, avoid Selig taxes and let Texas oil money rule the AL - have failed like Mickey Mantle's liver.

The current administration barely bid a nickel on Yu Darvish. It passed on Humanis Centepedis, the Prince and the Pujol. It won the rights to Hiroki Nakajima, an intriguing Japanese SS-2B, then didn't even try to sign him. (Could we end up seriously regretting this?) Our trade deficit has been rediculous. Our gross team BA and ERA mirror those of the Great Depression.

We are the global leader for pro sports... two games above .500.

That's not American pride. That's winter in Madagascar. 

Let's hope Hal and Hank watch BBC now and then. If so, they can glimpse the Yankee riots of next spring, with angry fans marching in the streets, clicking TV remotes in protest. Instead of Guy Fawkes faces, we will be wearing masks of Jesus Montero. 

The Steinbrothers must listen to the growing fury on the Yankee street. It is rejecting austery and calling for change.

  1. I'm thinking that t-shirts are in order. 'We are the 1%...let's spend like it!'
