R.I.P.

Happy Retirement, Schill! Now you'll have even more time to sit around painting socks...(psssst... wanna be a yankee??)

seven is even better.

6 in a row ain't bad.

Sydney Ponson? seriously?? again?????

maybe Pavano isn't really too far out of the question...

there is no fucking way i am going to allow that.

10 Mother Fucking Wins

manny

youk is driving me loco amigos, first he like wipe my glove on his butt 'cause me and lugo we're stealing gatorades then i see him like disrespecting my dreads, j'know.

hey homes, looks like we in the ohio or something. it means like "good weed" in indian or something. why can't people just speaca de english? i just started dating this chick named amy winehouse bro, we slept in a dumpster last night. i tink i love her amigo.

looks like they keep the gatorade, like, out in the open in ohio too! white people are stupid homes. me and lugo been selling this gatorade to kids for like a lot of money.

Mariano Rivera makes grown men look stupid,
Mariano Rivera makes grown men look weak.

Mariano Rivera is a supernatural force.

what a mess...

Pettitte gave up 10 runs and Mariano gave up a home run, but the Yankees did not lose. Damon went 6 for 6 with a ninth inning walk off double. What more can I say, "what a mess..."

(devil) Rays v. Red Sox

Anyone who saw Wednesday's game knew that this was coming Thursday night. I love that post game interview with Coco calling the Rays a bunch of little girls. He's ready for another round. (btw- Shields, you need to connect if you are going to take a swing like that. I am convinced Coco spent a couple hours in the ring sparring before this game)

As a Yankee fan I couldn't be more pleased. I can just sit back, relax, and watch these two teams destroy each other. Or even better, I can watch these Red Sox self destruct. How many Red Sox injuries were there on Thursday night, or even in the last week? What about that bitch fight between Manny and that bald fucker Youkilis in the dugout? That can't be good...

I prefer walk off pinch hit homers for my team. This should be a good Yankee weekend. Summer is here. Four versus the Royals in the Bronx. Not to mention that Posada is back. Now it is time to get serious and remind the A.L. East of who is really in charge.

A Moose is loose in the Bronx- but the Yankees are still sub .500

HOLY SHIT! the yankee bullpen didn't implode tonight. Mussina pitched six masterful innings. some other clowns came out and didn't shit their pants, and Mariano had to come out in a non save situation just to run the mop and make sure that a win is a Win. 9 wins for the moose. yankee ace, by the way... (his 9th win of 2007 came in september). and he didn't look like an old man at all, this was a great performance.
Jeter also passed Mantle on the Yankees hit list, he is a living legend along the lines of gehrig and mantle and dimaggio. it's like watching history. beleive it.


in other news: Coco Crisp is going to get hit in his face tomorrow. I'll yell "DUCK" now...

From the Desk of Brother Bartles: on pitching

Well I think we are about a 1/2 game out of first place at first pitch tonight.

A few notable notes from Brother Bartles:

Our young pitching: Has vastly surprised nobody. We knew Lester was going to be a big time pitcher when he started off 4-0 in mid-'06, he just had a few bumps in the road. Bucholtz looks to have more potential than even Lester! Only problem is that he doesn't seem as durable. Oh, we should mention Papelbon, he's been around since mid-'05 and been getting paid less than a million a year to be our lights out man, he's completely taken for granted. Delcarmen has been steady in the bullpen. And lastly Masterson looks to be a top 3 starter someday, he's just so good you hardly notice he isn't giving up any runs.

As for the older guys: Wakefield, jeez I feel like one day i'll bring my first born to see him pitch and this hypothetical kid hasn't even been born yet. Schill, who cares really...just retire dude but really thanks for the memories...you're the man...now go away. BARTOLO COLON! former cy young winner, signed to a minor league contract during spring training. That was a Cashman-like signing if there ever was one. Timlin, every time we say he's done there he is in the playoffs killing innings.

Prime years pitchers: Beckett, god, I hope we re-sign but he is going to make a disgusting amount of money if he stays healthy. Dice-K, what's he like 8-0 and on the DL? I'll take that...he hasn't been the force of nature we thought he would be, but he hasn't exactly struggled either.

not mentioned: craig hansen (horseshit), javier lopez (good young lefty reliver), david aardsma (who throws 100mph!) hideki okajima (anyone seen this guy lately?)

fucking fuck shit with these joba rules...

WHAT THE FUCK! this isn't spring fucking training. somehow the yankees got ass fucked by judge reinhold and ended up trading places with the tampa bay fucking rays. it just goes to show that sometimes payroll has nothing to do with a winning baseball team. the horror- the fucking shitting fred savage mother fucking horror... fuck these joba fucking rules and fuck you 2 and a third fucking innings....and then you bring in another fucking kid who has never pitched in a major league fucking game? are you fucking serious? are you shitting me? or shitting on me? is there anyone in that bullpen besides fucking mariano who can pitch a cunt sucking inning??? why not make mariano a fucking starter??? is goose gossage still alive??? what the fuck! i never thought i'd ever be happy to see mussina on the mound, even though he can only manage five pussy assed innings per start...which one of those cock smoking assholes is going to give up a lead tonight??? fuck it. what can you buy for 218 million these days? obviously not as much as you can buy for 44 million. perhaps i am getting a bit heated about this... i'm gonna' go listen to some zappa and try to relax.
