This seems like an appropriate time to start the Bartles and James 2009 season

Read SI story here!!!

A-Fraud, A-Rod, enough already! I am sure A-Roid will be the next catch phrase to be overused.Can we trade him for Manny? How long before Manny's test results are made public, or Big Papi's???? Sooner rather than later i hope... 

and btw-sportswriting is easy, no one has an original thought. kind of like how everybody thought they were the first to name the Oklahoma City NBA team The Oklahoma City Bombers. 

Red Sox trumped in Teixeira stakes

That's three down,

now it's just:

Lowe, Sheets, Manny, And Pettitte to go!!!

(well, atleast an end of the rotation starter and someone who can play center field. damon is way too dicey. and it's going to be a couple of years before they put jeter out to pasture there...)

Sources: Yanks, Burnett reach 5-year, $82.5M deal

That's two down,

now it's just:

Lowe, Sheets, Tiexeira, Manny, And Pettitte to go!!!

(btw, is mike cameron really necessary??? c'mon. ya'll know better than that)

Sources: Yankees, Sabathia near deal

That's one down,

now it's just:

Burnett, Lowe, Sheets, Tiexeira, Manny, and Pettitte to go!!!

(btw- who's going to play center field???)

it may be time to pull down the bills 4-0 thing. what do i know. the pats did beat the bills last sunday 20-10 to make the bills 5-4 currently.

feel the awesomeness of that title....feel it. caress it. not too much there bro.

i like to remember that they were 4 and 0...

headlines

MUSSINA WINS 20!!!

BILLS GO 4-0!!!

FUNERAL AT SHEA

after careful deliberation

I have decided to support The L.A. Dodgers this postseason.

They got Manny (who went from being a fucking bum to being a brilliant ballplayer the moment he left the a.l. east)

and they got Torre (what else can you say)...

and I do not give a flying fuck about The Rays (a fluke), The Red Sox (who looked like a bunch of little bitches celebrating a wild card clinch), The Mets (fags), The Cubs (yawn), or The Angels The White Sox The Twins The Phillies or anyone else who may be in the playoffs this year.

It all comes down to excitement, and the prospect of Manny returning to Fenway in October is as exciting as it gets.

R.I.P.

sawx rool!

hey bummer about your team sucking. anyways i'm still limp over the explosion of my boyfriend's knee, tom brady's knee. kinda funny nobody really even cares the yankees suck, with the celtics winning into late june and the patriots, etc. well...things are just kinda occupied around here. anyways we broke the consecutive sellout record at fenway, big whoop.

bartles and james has reached absolute zero..

my friends do not exist

now what???

either The Yankees sweep or they may as well pack it up. 2 out of three won't do this time...

signs of the apocalypse

Pavano wins!

it's not mathematically impossible

but damon dropped two easy fly balls in center field. and the yankees could only score one run. and, but, and, but..... is pavano really starting saturday? are the yankees really only one game out of fourth place? they are actually inventing new ways to lose...

manny

hey man, they have like liquid acid out here homes! ever since i fly here i've been like seeing people faces melting off and shit. that's no joke bro. so anyways what's up since i left? hey amigo i here that japanese dude is like coming back and shit? i always thought japanese were retarded mexicans but i just found out it's like it's whole own thing! well good luck making the playoffs amigos!

i am really not sure why i continue to punish myself daily by watching this yankee team lose. i guess my only consolation is that the red sox are definitely not a championship team this year.

world series prediction = diamondbacks v. angels (and who gives a shit) angels win in 5

As a Yankee fan

I will never admit defeat until the first week of October, but there comes a time when all sports fans have to be realistic about their teams current situation. Last night was the first Yankee game I have failed to watch all season. I woke up around 1am and they were losing, no surprise, so I changed the channel and found myself captivated by the gold medal round of women's 10m air rifle. I am seriously considering only watching games in which Mussina pitches, Mussina being the only Yankee who has a chance of winning any award this season. 162 games is such a huge investment of time, and it is a waste to watch loss after loss by a team that has spent close to 2 billion dollars in payroll over the last 8 years and has nothing much to show for it. A Cy Young for Mussina would be impressive, and with 15 wins so far at 39 years old you can't deny that he stands a chance of winning it. (i'll probably keep my eye on Ponson. i love any pitcher who gets a dwi and then starts a fight with an Aruban judge during sentencing...)

it's like watching your girlfriend do some other guy

i've always felt the need, or desire, that i should have a national league team to rout for. back when the yankees ripped my heart out in october 03 and wakefield walked towards the dugout, i swore off the sox for one week. i was an expos fan, hardcore. montreal is only slightly farther than boston, it seemed perfect. than montreal moved to washington...and the sox won my heart back with the schilling trade.

i've always liked the dodgers uniforms. the nationals have a cool stadium and they suck, which believe it or not is a bonus in my decision. and then there is the cubs, the lovable losers. cool stadium and red sox fans and cubs have always had this cousin-like relationship, however they too are very good...the bandwagon factor can not be too emphasized here. i don't like it.

anyways i'm still not sure, but if manny stays in la it might swing my vote and if he leaves it might swing my vote. but i'll be watching no doubt a world series match-up with either the cubs or dodgers would be cool.
