It's time to step up...



Cousin Ron emailed me to ask why I wasn't doing playoff commentary. It is a combination of reasons.

It was my wedding anniversary this past Friday and as you can imagine Lisa wanted a whole big extravaganza. We went to Fraunces Tavern on the actual date and we are now at Seatuck for a few days to relax and regroup. So I have been off the grid for awhile.

The Yankees have being having a lot of trouble. They pulled out the Baltimore series even though their bats are deader than nd spinelli's cock. The only people hitting are the Jap and Ibanez.  And Jeter. Who is out for the rest of the post season. He was doing his job. Leading from the front. Taking the brunt. Now he is out of action and the rest of the team has to step and prove that they are "True Yankees." With the heart of Thurman Munson. The passion of Paul O"Niell. The fire of Billy Martin. The swagger of the Babe or Mickey.

They have to show us what they are made of.

Not just A-Rod. If he wants redemption it is all there in front of him. He can make New York his town. If he leads New York to the Series and wins he will be a hero. Jeter isn't there anymore. He has the chance to be a leader. To take the team on his back and take it over the finish line.

He will never do it in a million years.

The other stars will not be let off the hook. Doncha Know Robbie Cano better grab on to his balls and get the job done. The other high priced guys like Swisher and Mark and Grandison better look to their contracts as they are all coming up soon. Well three out of the four anyway. If they want to keep getting the big bucks now is the time to show us what they are made of.

It's time to step up.

Firstly, Congrats to you and your bride.

You know that AFraud is a phoney and couldn't lead a little league team. We should have a true Yankee thread where we debate who were true Yanks. I think we will generally be on the same page.

Frank Crosetti True

Scooter True

Roy White True

Chris Chambliss True

Ron Blomerg No

Clete Boyer True

Tony Kubek No

Joe Pepitone No

Elston Howard True

Sparky Lyle?

Wade Boggs True Asshole

Cletis Boyer - true Taiyō Whale.

Morganna - possessor of true Taiyō Whales!

Joe Pepitone was a true Yankee.

Of the asshole division.

I was unaware that herpes caused long-term weakening of the ankle bones.

ChipS, With a haymaker to the groin!

Sixty, I saw Morganna kiss the Yankee killer, George Brett. Titus would have loved her..and maybe Brett also.

Trooper York said...

Hey it was Dave Winfield who had herpes.

Jeter just has personality.

Joe Pepitone was the greasiest Yankee of them all.

That's right, I said it. Hey, if spinelli can cross the Rubicon with that earlier thread Jeter comment, I can pee across a crick. That's right, Sixty, crick.
