Wednesday Bird Droppings

irabu was traded to the expos for quite the plethora back in the day (ted lilly and jake westbrook and a minor leaguer nobody), westbrook was in turn traded for david justice, who was traded for robin ventura, who was traded for scott proctor, who was traded for wilson betemit, who was traded for nick swisher.

That’s not bad for “I rob you”.

CC will supply you a reference letter upon request.

but I don’t remember a cab stand in front of Yankee Stadium. Taking a cab anywhere from Yankee stadium would be inefficient time-wise and costly, unless you happen to be going somewhere else in the Bronx, and why would anyone want to go anywhere else in the Bronx?

Of course I’ve never been to NYS, so maybe if you can afford the 5 grand for a seat, you can afford a cab ride back to Manhattan to avoid having to take the D train with the plebes.

Up on the watershed, standing at the fork in the road
You can stand there and agonize, ‘til your agony’s your heaviest load….
You’ll never fly as the crow flies, get used to a country mile
When you’re learning to face the path at your pace, every choice is worth your while.

I met a boy, wearing Vans, 501s
and a dope Beastie tee, nipple rings, new tattoo
that claimed that he
was O.G.T
from back in ’92
with the first EP

And in between sips of Coke
he told me that he though we were
selling out, laying down, sucking up
to the Man

Well, now I’ve got some advice for you little buddy
Before you point your finger you should know that I’m the man
And if I’m the man, then he’s the man as well
So you can point that fucking finger up your ass

I know Snooki probably deserves it, but man, they destroyed her in that ep.

Do you think there’s a name on the back of that jersey? That’s about the only thing that could have made it better for the douche factor.

Not a bad advertisement for strict use of a condom either.

I’d given him advice before so this time I axed his post.

but the only description they had was from that Twitter guy. Unfortunately, “guido douche” did not narrow it down enough, and that poor security guard had a busy night. Luckily, by the top of the 8th inning, he was able to escort out most people fitting that profile.

the only thing better than hearing lets go rangers in the alcs AT the douche bag museum stadium is lets go orioles. the only thing better would be arod to take a short hop into his eye and cause him to lose sight in that eye. hopefully tex will get by a car, cc will have a heart attack, and joba to get run over by a tractor.

Im one of the biggest orioles fans ever and 2 months ago i moved to dallas. there is nothing greater than to be surrounded by people talking trash about the yankees and beating them in the post season. the rangers are having their way with the yankees and not even offering to use lube and its amazing.

Orioles first, any team that can beat the yankees manager out of a job second.

among the NY media if that happened to a NYY Hall of Famer? They’d be demanding Congressional investigations and the death penalty.

I’m guessing they’re on photobucket which is blocked by my work. But that Molina gif is also from Lookout Landing. Those dudes have been on point.

He spelled Wookiee wrong though. :(

once and for all the notion that Yankee fans are “the best in the world” because Jersey Shore and Jabba the Fan all Fatty McFuckYou were all nowhere to be seen by the 7th inning last night.

I would murder any of those guys for the chance to see the Orioles get blown out in a playoff game.

speak for more than 1 minute at a time. If she doesn’t hate the Yankees by then, she’s a terrible human being. (Note: this exercise only lasts 4 seconds directly after a NY victory)

1. A large majority of their fans are entitled, arrogant pricks who know little about the game of baseball, but lots about merchandise. They don’t really like baseball, they just like rooting for a winner, ie., one of the highest bandwagon rates in all of sportsdom
2. The team’s plan for success is to wildly cherrypick the best free agents every year, which includes making mistakes that would bury other teams (i.e., they are paying Burnett $22M this year to wildly suck, and he’s just the latest in a line that includes Pavano, Contreras, Giambi, etc)
3. George Steinbrenner was an odious motherfucking criminal who should have long ago been banned from the sport (Oh wait, he was!)
4. Jeffrey Maier
5. The amount of attention paid to their HOF shortstop, who absolutely deserves to go to the HOF, but is not by any means the best SS to play the game (not even close) or many of the other accolades that get heaped on him. Also, he feels he has a right to control the batters box in way that no other player gets away with. And his jump throws are just a pathetic joke.
6. Alex Rodriguez
7. While we’re at it, Steve Howe
8. The old Yankee Stadium was a disgusting, steamy hellhole that Yankee fans called, “the greatest stadium in the game”, and “you HAVE to love it.” I appreciate the old Yankee Stadium’s history. It was, however, a soulless craphole for watching baseball. And at any given moment there, a carnival would break out between the relentless organ-playing, the big-ben chiming, and the FUCKING LOUD prompts for the crowd to clap.
9. The New Yankee Stadium requires that a family take out a home equity loan in order to watch a game.
10. Joe Girardi.

Should I go on?

Think it’s a great show. I think I’ve briefly mentioned it on here before and you (I think it was you) said you have a hard time watching lawyery-type shows because you’re so close to the industry and all the flaws/unrealistic situations would really grate on you.

But in a sea of acronyms, bad writing, horrible acting, and just all-around terrible television, The Good Wife stands out as great drama where everything works well. The only problem I had was that there were some not-so-sublte Buick ads in one episode. Otherwise it’s worth watching.

Unless it’s an overhyped player, the bidding practices of teams are hard to predict. The Rays put the highest big on Iwamura. The Twins, Reds, and A’s outbid everyone for Sano, Chapman, and Inoa respectively. .

I think Nakajima is the best bet for shortstop. There are no slam dunk options, so why not go with the engimatic guy who might be pretty okay for a year or two? If he’s Kaz Matsui Part II* then oh well, at least it wasn’t Izzy.

*An old joke with my friends and I is referring to Kaz as “The Good Matsui” because of his run with the Rockies in the postseason a couple years back. At one point Kaz had way more RBI than all of the Yankees.

considering I’ve wanted to chuck my iPod out of the window several times on my commute due to AB, I’m not sure if the Halloween version is safe for me.

because for once, I’m ahead of a fad… it’s basically Crush the Castle, which my dad showed me a while ago.

Apparently, it took changing the projectiles from rocks to birds to make the game mainstream.
