El Duque, Dude, You've Already Posted The Yankee Of The Month Poll & It's Barely The 28th & The Discussion Wasn't Finished & I Am Seriously P.O'd.

SERIOUSLY.

Because I was out all day and THINKING about the matter --

As I SHOULD, and AS I SHOULD BE GIVEN TIME TO --

And I came to the rational, unavoidable conclusion that John Sterling, The Voice Of The Yankees, gave us another amazing month and deserves the chance to be the FIRST REPEAT YANKEE EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH --

And then I came hone -- home, not hone, I'm so mad I can't even type words right -- to find that THE EFFING POLL HAD ALREADY BEEN POSTED WITHOUT EVEN LETTING MORE THAN HALF A DAY PASS AFTER THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE FRAUDULENT "NOMINATING PROCESS" --

I ASK EVERY HONORABLE YANKEE FAN TO JOIN ME IN DEMANDING THAT EL DUQUE NULLIFY THE VOTE AND RESTART THE POLL WITH VOICE OF THE NEW YORK YANKEES JOHN STERLING IN HIS RIGHTFUL PLACE AS A JUNE YANKEE EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH NOMINEE.

Because this makes me fucking SICK.

WHO'S WITH ME?

Update: Plus, you ignored half the effing nominees nominated in the effing so-called nomination thread.

El Duque, the question needs asking:

WHO THE EFF DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?

George W. Bush Makes Excuses

As his presidency limps toward the finish line, there are still pressing matters for W to address, including “easing the transition” (giving White House tours, deleting emails), building his legacy (leaving unwell-enough alone), and availing himself of one of the most awesome perks of his office or the Pope’s (the ability to forgive and absolve completely and irrevocably).

Yes, one of the few superpowers remaining to a lame duck is the power to grant clemency. As with most things, W trails his predecessors. Clinton let 456 miscreants off the hook. Reagan pardoned 406. This week, Bush played catch-up by issuing clemency and pardons for 16 humans and two turkeys.



What's George W. Bush’s idea of a pardonable crime?



Actually, there are a few:



Devin Timothy Kruse – AWOL



Jackie Ray Clayborn, Roger Paul Ingram – illegal drugs charges

Joseph Daniel Gavin – disorderly conduct while under the influence of alcohol

Lewis Libby – obstruction of justice



Pumpkin and Pecan – a real turkey

Excerpts from today's meeting between the Redsocks and George W. Bush

“Hey, Jason Varitek, have you starting thinking of what you’re going to buy with that $600 rebate?”
.
“As President, I felt I couldn’t take sides. But when I heard you guys won, I was really happy for Rudy.”
.
“Coco, listen. I want you to forget what the Blue Jays told you. Nobody wants to save the penguins more than I do.”
.

“Frankly, why did Roger even need a personal trainer? When Condi and I are on the Stairmaster, the last thing we want is some guy yelling at us.”
.

“I’ll take your ideas to the Postal Service, Manny. I honestly can’t say we’ve ever considered a commemorative stamp for Jenna Jamison.”
.

“I’ve seen Debbie Clemens’ picture, and let me tell you, that’s as close as Waxman’s ever going to get.”
.

“Yes, I'll grant you the link between securitization and the subprime crisis, and I’ll concede your point about over-exaggerated default risks to third-party investors, but for gosh sakes, Big Papi, calm down!”
.

“Stand back, guys, that’s not Don Zimmer! That’s Cheney, and he’s fixing to make a bull rush on Senator Kennedy!”
.

“So how did you like it when we unleashed those Lake Erie gnats on the Yankees? I’ll tell you, Chertoff worked late on that one.”
.

“Curt Schilling! They say you’re going to be sidelined until the all-star break. How would you like to be my War on Terror Czar?”
.

“I view waterboarding as a purpose pitch. You don’t hit 'em in the head. That just creates baserunners. You throw at the head, and make 'em think you're gonna hit 'em.”
.

“I tell you, the Africans are very appreciative about what we send. You should have seen how proud they are of their T-shirts. I didn’t have the heart to tell them the Rockies lost.”

.
“Jacoby Ellsbury! Twenty-four years old! When I was your age, we were embroiled a long, terrible war, and I was defending my country in the Texas Air National Guard. At least, that what they tell me. I don't remember.”

.

“Two World Championships! You guys... you’re my legacy!”
