Payback time for Maz and Gandolfini


No doubt Mr. Mazeroski and his chummybuddies think they got away with something.

Well, they better think again.

TONIGHT, THE SWIFT SWORD OF YANKEE VENGEANCE SHALL CLEAVE A PATH OF RETRIBUTION THROUGH THE SO-CALLED STEEL CITY.

TONIGHT, MAZEROSKI (pictured, next to James Gandolfini) SHALL PAY FOR HIS MISDEED.

For long enough, the Yankiverse has waited -- watching, simmering and boiling -- while they drunkenly celebrated our defeat. We sat in our rooms, doing push-ups, awaiting the time when we would be called upon to avenge the injustice.

Hear this, Mazeroski.

When we're done with your offspring, you'll wish you never antagonized the Yankee Swift Sword of Vengeance!
You will bark when you feel its bite.

Tonight.

Come on. You cannot pick a worse team to strike revenge on. This is the worst franchise in sports. The worst team in baseball since Sid Bream scored on Bonds's lazy throw from left 16 years ago. Pick on someone your own size. Beat on Chicago, Boston or LA, please just leave Shitsburgh alone. We have it tough enough. Our mayor is a drunken 21 year old for christ sake. We're the sootiest city in all the land. They just passed a 10% drink tax to facilitate shortages in the budget. Life ain't easy in the old Steel City.
Consider this series a scouting trip to see Nady, Bay and Doumit. Just take it easy on us.
