Some Loose Thoughts

J-Bay droppin some Sunday Night bombs                 A-Rod continues to amaze with social awkwardness

Well, well, well…didn’t see it happening, and as most Mets fans, I had zero confidence it would happen. But because I’m a Mets fan and I have some balls, I took Arthur up on his “Slap Bet.” And look what happened, the Mets took 2 out of 3, capping the series with a trademark Santana performance, solidified by 2 much needed bombs from Jason Bay, and some ballsy pitching by K-Rod. Winner…Money.

Needless to say, I am going to slap the shit out of Arthur the next time I see him. Maybe I’ll give him all 5 at once, maybe I won’t. Either way it’s not going to feel good. It could be Jimmy Tap time folks. But back to the baseball at hand.

I’m going to keep this short and sweet, but a couple of comments from the weekend’s Subway series.

1. Mike Pelfrey is a God Damn stud. The kid is looking like El Truth. His team has swag when he’s on the mound and they fucking should. Very studly.

2. Johan is still a stud. He had us all wondering a few weeks ago in Philly. But I’m not wondering anymore. Fucking studly as usual.

3. A-Rod celebrates very homosexually, but he didn’t get to do any helmet hunting this weekend at Citi; thank the lord. The guy’s a stud but I wish he didn’t act like such a D-Bag on the field. But he’s a Yankee, so who gives a shit. I did think he was going to take K-Rod deep Sunday night with 2 on and 2 out in the 9th.

4. David Wright stinks. I’m not going to sugar coat it. The guy is awful. The worst. I’m sick to my stomach over it. I was actually mad that Mets fans were wearing his jersey at the game on Friday night.

5. So Yankee fans, its not so fun when your team is playing injured. Even with Jeter, Texiera and A-Rod rounding out the line up, not to even mention Cano, it’s still not enough. Now you know how the Mets only mustered 70 wins last year when all we had was D-Wright. And he stinks. Man he stinks.

Arthur I am going to slap the sit out of you!! Until next time folks…

Let me start this by saying that I think the Red Sox will be back to the top of the AL East come July/August.  But I still thoroughly enjoy seeing them be nothing but mediocre and all this “sabermetrics” bullshit go down the tubes.

Also, Papelbon had like 19 straight saves before going into last night so I won’t say he “sucks” but it was still amazing seeing him get ROCKED last night.  To quote the uber-douche Shaq “Hey Papelbon?  How does A-Rod’s and Thames’ ass taste?”.

YANKEEEEES WIN!

Absolutely fantastic; the team of the decade. Bookmarked the the decade with World Series wins, four world series appearances in total. POPPIN BOTTLES

Andy Pettite was absolutely fantastic. All the Yankees needed was 6 decent innings… and he provided.

A-Rod finally got his ring providing that last piece to make him a viable candidate for G.O.A.T. (greatest of all time)

Mo said he can, and wants to, do it for another 5 years and who can say that might not be true? He is not human. He throws two pitches and has been for over 10 years and no one can still figure it out. He was over-the-hill in 2004, 2005, 2006, etc but still is the most dominant figure in all of sports. Ever. That’s a lock.

Whether he deserved it or not, Swisher was a fan favorite this year and certainly added a dimension (along with AJ and Damon) to the clubhouse that allowed the team to relax and just play baseball.

I just couldn’t leave the below post at the top of SLT while the Yankees were starting their playoffs. Everyone should watch out for A-Rod this post season. He is going to squash all the rumors about him being clutch and I can’t wait.

LET’S GO YANKS!

I love this time of year. The weather chills a little so I can now rock my V-Neck shirt with a nice blazer. The brisk air in the morning wakes me up and cool me down. The pumpkin beer and pumpkin muffins make their way back to Heartland Brewery and Starbucks, and of course the real A-Rod starts to play Baseball.

Alex Rodriguez in the Regular Season is like The Black Crows before Kate Hudson, They were a strong rock band, who could put out and album anytime they wanted and sell out any stadium, but then you realize that was a long time ago. Now the Black Crows have broken up, Kate Hudson has ruined another career (matthew mcconaughey) and A-Rod will begin do like he did in ‘05, ‘06 & ‘07 playoffs, which was a batting average of .133, .071 and a stellar .267 (I would put 2008 but of course they did not make the playoffs), with all of 1 RBI in 55 At-Bats during that time.

But hey, at least I can get the pumpkin muffin from Starbuck and read the back of the NY Post where it will say “Where has A-Rod Gone”, or “Not Again”… at least something similar.

I have seen way too much Boston on this site and I need to start stepping it up for our Yankee Faithful.  With that said, I wanted to share a nice stat I read today.  A-Rod, who has played in 61 games so far this year, has 19 homeruns… great right?  Well, of those 19, 10 have either tied the game or given the Yankees the lead.  BAM!

After a SPECTACULAR start by Joba the Hutt yesterday, the Yankees are ready to rock for the second half of the season.  Twitering buffon John Henry better watch his team’s back.

The Yankees are on a bit of a slide, and I am okay with that.  It is still kind of early and over the course of the long baseball season, teams have ups (see May) and downs (see June).  My only beef is with A-Rod.  Not because he did steroids, we all know I don’t care about that, but rather that he is dating “The Mush”. Here are some of the people that Kate Hudson has dated:

• Chris Robinson of The Black Crowes – The Crowes haven’t had a hit song since She Talks To Angels in 1990 and I think have broken up about 5 times in the last 10 years
• Lance Armstrong – he got testicular cancer
• Owen Wilson – he tried to kill himself
• Heath Ledger – accidental overdose

Now these things didn’t always happen while she was dating them but I mean, come on… really?  Now A-Rod is dating her and he has the lowest BA of his career. It could be because he is now off steroids for the first time since he was 8 (as Selina would say) but I say it’s because of The Mush.

My advice for him?  Go back to banging strippers.  They don’t need anything special.  Just get them drunk, maybe buy them some jewelry on the side.  They don’t need Page 6 or the red carpet or anything to that affect.

Also, here is A-Rod’s quote from last night:

“I’ve got to take it one day at time. I certainly don’t think it’s going to be a bad year. I think I’m going to do a lot of good things to help the team win. I have complete certainly I’m going to do a fine job.”

FINE JOB?  Really?  Everything he says just comes off wrong.  Go to Scores, dump Late Hudson, and you will be back to MVP status in no time.

You are welcome.

While I think that Red Sox fans are the most obnoxious in all of sports, this “You Do Steroids” chant while A-Rod was up in the 9th last night was pretty hilarious.

Hurricane’s take:

I salute you 36,784 Fenway faithful for standing on your feet and letting the world know who does steroids! A-ROID does Steroids! Also if you don’t think I was giving Ortiz a Standing ovation when he popped out in the 8th you are mistaken. Boston loves Papi and Papi loves us. We are all in this slump together and we will all fight out of it.. Side note, 0-3, no K’s and 2 walks.. I will take it..

I wonder how much a-rod paid Mary Carey to bang Melky to interview Melkey Cabrera in a hotel room, presumably drunk, with their shirts off.  You have to believe he did right, I mean anything to get the attention of of him and the one upon a time gorgeous Kate Hudson (pre-Matthew McConaughey, that dude just ruins girls).

Some of the riveting questions ex-Porn Star and now political starlet Mary Carey asked:

Do you like Peanuts because they sell them at baseball games?

Are you guy? Is A-Rod gay? Where you two gay in the Dominican Republic?

Did you see ASSononomous where 4 dudes did me in the butt? (ok I made that up, but I saw it)

Just wanted to give a few thoughts on the state of the Yankees season at this point:

• The empty seats behind home plate are a bigger deal than I thought originally
• I am COMPLETELY embarassed of the Yankee fans who boo Tex.  I just don’t get it.  Do these people actually like baseball?  Do they actually like the Yankees?  I hate them.
• Also – for the people who are saying Girardi needs to be fired (and those other idiots who were chanting “We Want Torre!” the other night) please find a new team to cheer for.  
• Girardi has said that Mo has been battling “arm strength” issues… f’n fantastic!
• I never thought I would say this, but it will be nice to have everyone pay attention to A-Rod as opposed to all the other shit that is going on with the team.
• While Damon can still hit… he is a liability in the field.  He can make all the standard plays but I haven’t seen him make one of the plays he COULD have made.  I think he caught the Bobby Abreu disease of being afraid of the wall

That’s all I got for now… looking forward to tonight when Yankee fans boo Tex for taking a called strike and then chanting “We want Billy!” the whole game.
