With one day left in national poll, "A nuke... from Youk!" looks like the fan fave for John's new call

It's not over yet. Karl Rove would demand the final precincts. But Nuke from Youk has a big lead.

The question remains, though... is it too violent?

Are we thrusting the nation toward another war? It's one thing to have "An A-bomb from A-Rod," (though we might never hear another)... are we desensitizing the Yankiverse toward weapons of mass destruction? Millions of people would die in a nuclear attack. How can we, as Yankee fans, cheer an atomic blast, whose nuclear fallout could kills hundreds of thousands more and push the world into a never ending winter?

Or, are we thinking about this too much?
Coming soon, the poll for Brennan Boesch. Is there a weaponized connection?

A equally pleasing call, proposed by a blogger on this site, was not included in the poll:
"A Bazooka from the Youka!"

Jeter got pulled from the line-up today because of a "cranky" ankle.
Maybe a never ending winter wouldn't be a bad thing.

don't call the results too soon. I always keep a few ballots in that box I keep in the trunk of my Chevy Volt. just in case, you know, the voters don't get it right.

The voters NEVER get it right. That's why the GOP invented the hanging chad. Heh, heh, heh. Jeb and I bushwacked y'all on that one, eh?
