Some Loose Thoughts

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.

Honestly, how do Yankee fans wake u p and continue to root for the same team as this guy. How do you wake up and continue to root for a team with fans THAT WERE BOOING TEXERIA IN APRIL. Really guys? Hey congratulations on the Division, see you at the duck boat celebration in Boston in November!

Honestly A-Rod, let go of the cops boob already, you are a sick and twisted man. I guess Kate Hudson’s little guys just are fitting the bill..

Do you think the Steinbrenners sit at home and cry themselves to sleep when they think about how much they messed up the new Stadium. Such a botch Job, it is embarrassing.

Thank god for Wade Boggs. I mean I hate the guy, he left the Sox and went to the Yankees, but he went for money and a championship so I guess I do not really HATE him. But he has been on a tour de force in Boston doing Coors Light promotions, and has been reportedly getting hammered at every event. But the other night during a Q & A he said anyone that does steroids is “unamericana and apple pie” (or something like that), which literally makes no sense, but one can assume he was talking about A-ROID, or A-FAUD, or A-I-GET-BENCHED-FOR-FATIGUE-AND-GO-OUT-WITH-KATE-HUDON-TILL-3AM.. Whatever name you want to call him is fine by me.

It must be really hard to be a Yankee fan. The team is filed with a bunch of over paid A-Holes who only care about themselves and kissing themselves in the mirror.

Did you hear the one about Yankees hurler A.J. Burnett getting hurled out of the Barnes & Noble in the Prudential Center for swearing on his cell phone?

Well, don’t say we told you so but . . . according to our spies in the stacks, Burnett was in the bookstore the morning after his particularly putrid outing at Fenway Park [map] on Tuesday night.

Burnett, who was chased from the game before the end of the third inning in what became a 7-0 rout of the Bronx Bombers – was talking loudly on his cell phone inside the store, according to Someone Who Knows.

“He was swearing and stuff and the security guard went over and told him to quiet down because there were kids around,” said our snitch.

Well, A.J. didn’t. So the security guard – who was described to us as an “elderly gentleman” – told him to hit the road. Vacate the premises. Hasta la vista, baby.

Apparently early exits are getting to be a habit for the Pinstripes’ alleged ace!

We rang up the Yankees to inquire as to whether they’d like to make any kind of a comment on the situation.

“Ah, no,” said the Bombers’ spokesguy.

A Barnes & Noble manager also declined to address the matter.

However, the security guard told a couple of customers after the fact that he was aware that Burnett had stunk it up the night before but, “he shouldn’t take it out on the kids.”

File Under: Yer Out.

Oh and then Girardi and his team of idiots are complaining to league office about Penny’s thorwing at A-rod.. I think everyone in the world knew A-Rod was going to get hit… eveyrone thank Joba..

As for Penny hitting A-Rod, the Yankees feel as if there should be discipline. A.J. Burnett is appealing his suspension for throwing over the head of Texas’ Nelson Cruz. Though there was no previous warning and Burnett remained in the game, he received a six-game suspension.

“It seems like there is always the feeling that if someone intentionally throws at someone they are going to be suspended,” Girardi said. “I don’t care for it. I don’t care for hitting him in that situation. That’s my opinion. I’m not 100 percent right, for sure, that he threw at him on purpose. That’s my feeling. That’s up to the commissioner’s office.”

Biggest series ever is starting tonight. Sox V. Yankees, I mean whomever wins tonight is going to win everything,then come tomorrow whomever wins is going to go all the way, but THEN on Thursday, oh go big Thursday.. Imagine if the Red Sox and Yankees split game 1 & 2 and we have a rubber match! Holy shit. Might as well give the rings to whomever wins that!

Here is just a sample of why the sox are so much better:

Per Si.com (on drafting since 2001):

Would you rather be the team that has had the second best draft or 24th? I mean this is a STAYSTICALY proven FACT.. Has to be true.

2 Boston Red Sox
Picks	MLB	Steal	Bust	Unsigned	Traded/Cut
502	37	Kevin Youkilis (8th round, 2001)	Rick Asadoorian	Pedro Alvarez	Freddy Sanchez
Current Key Players:Youkilis, Jonathan Papelbon (pictured), Dustin Pedroia, Jon Lester, Manny Delcarmen Lowdown:Boston’s system is dripping with young stars (Youkilis, Pedroia, Papelbon) and a seemingly never-ending supply of live arms.

24 New York Yankees
Picks	MLB	Steal	Bust	Unsigned	Traded/Cut
504	32	Jeff Karstens (19th Rd, 2003)	Jon Poterson	Chris Davis	Karstens
Current Key Players:Joba Chamberlain (pictured), Phil Hughes, Brett Gardner Lowdown:Of the players who’ve reached the MLBs over the last decade, only Chamberlain has displayed the ability to match the surrounding hype.

But it gets better, NY Post:

The Yankees will have “home-field” advantage at Fenway Park tonight, thanks to one fan’s grassroots effort to sabotage the Red Sox.

Ian Ferris, 30, a Bombers fan in the heart of Red Sox Nation, green-thumbed his nose at Boston by planting Yankee Stadium grass in the Fenway infield during a May 31 Phish concert.

Yankee Stadium grass seeds went on sale this year. Ferris hid the seeds in his pants as he entered Fenway, filled the bag with water and tossed it onto the infield.

“This is payback,” said Ferris, who manages a Hooters in Vermont. “If even one blade of grass sprouts on the field, I feel it was a success.”

He said he hoped the stunt would undo the jinx put on the new Yankee Stadium by a jersey-burying construction worker, Gino Castignoli of The Bronx. But Castignoli is not concerned.

“My curse is working,” he said. “It’s typical of a Yankee fan to think you can buy a jinx in a bag. When will they learn, you don’t win with your wallet but with your heart?”

This guy is so gay. Hey I know what I will do, I will buy some seeds and go to a Phish concert at Fenway park.. THEN I will plant the NY Yankee field seeds and drop them around Fenway park. Does this guy not realize that seeds are seeds, just because the Yankees sell them with their label on them does not make them special. I am sure they are some brand or mixture, but they have absolutely no relation. This guy is a friggin idiot. Ladies and Gentleman your 2009 NY Yankee FANS.. YEAH!!

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)

I almost feel bad writing this,  especially since who I am about to make fun of I do not mind. The Yankees, in order at first, then random of who I would make fun of goes as such.

A-Roid
A-Fraud
A-Joke
A-Choke
Matsui
Michael Kay
Damon
everyone else
John Sterling

I honestly do not mind Sterling, I mean some of his one liners are really dated, and his whole report with Susan whatever her name is, is just terrible, but he is at least not Michael Kay. That being said he really messed up this call, which is quite funny.

I appreciate the fact that Joba did not throw at Youkilis for the first time in his last 5 starts against them.. Oh wait Youkilis sat out last night so instead he threw at the guy who hit a homer run in the first inning off him and the Red Sox hottest hitter. This guy needs to learn how to keep a lid on things.. I mean you have lost 5 strait against the sox, maybe you should care more about winning than getting yours, or maybe he should not drink as much Red Bull durring games, which is now reported to be 7 -8 per start.

“Joba Chamberlin drinks Red Bull between innings in the game that he pitches. That’s animal.”

Also, gotta love NY Yankee fans, the same ones that drove Torre out of town were last night chanting “we want Torre”
