We didn't cut him. We did worse than cut him. We traded him for Lance Berkman, who didn't hit a lick for us and then went to St. Louis and became an MVP candidate, leading them to a World Series. Why do you ask?
Lance Fucking Berkman. I think he hates New York and was just here to dog it and collect a check. Like some other guys who have passed through, I expect. Take it easy for a year or partial season, platooned or pinch hit or DH, look like you're working, but just resting up for the next 'real' stop in the ol' career.
Did you see the poll released today or yesterday? Number one favorite baseball team: Yankees. Number two (in more ways than one): Red Sox. Three: Braves.
Yet the haters are in powerful places, shills of MLB like the Sports Reporters on ESPN. I couldn't even watch that this past weekend. Right out of the gate, it's about suspending A-Rod and Braun and maybe others, and every single one of the fucking mouthpieces talked about 'restoring the integrity of the game', 'giving baseball a clean slate', 'cheating' and other such bullshit. Not a word about Selig and all the owners and team management who didn't give a crap about PEDs and likely encouraged their use.
This sport is fucked up. Such a wonderful game, though.
And what of the NFL? Those freaks are all-natural, like a Hebrew National hotdog? The off-season NFL police blotter tells a different 'roid-rage story...
Hang in there, fans. We've yet to plummet to the remotest depths of the 2013 season. Wait 'til the NY papers leak the story about the sex tape involving me, Lady Gaga, Brian Cashman and a repelling rope.
Joba hasn't been the same since Torre (!) left him out there among the bugs in Cleveland. A real leader would have yanked the team off the field and told the umpires to pound salt; that they were the Yankees and that they didn't play in a freaking hive, no matter how close it was to a burnable river.
Take them off the field and insist upon a bug-free workplace. Dare the bastards to call it a forfeit, if you have to, but do something. Don't let the guy get chewed up.
Buttt nooooooo.
(All I got; just a bit of sadness about what Joba might have been, combined with a Belushi reference.) (Yeah; John Belushi...damn how it sucks to have to clarify that.)

How has Marc Melancon done since we cut him?

ReplyDeleteJose Molina . . . . Wasn't he the very last player to hit a home run in the Old Yankee Stadium?
