"Luke-Warm" Hearted Yanks

It seems that in the wake of the death of would be pilot Corey Lidle, the Yanks proceed with plans to hawk plane flying Santa Claus Yankees! Yay! So is it valvoline that runs throught the cold corporate Yankee heart?

Get off it, Ric. If you actualy read the fucking article, it says the advertising circular was released BEFORE Lidle's death. It hasn't been seen since and if you walk into the Yankee Store in midtown you can't find the thing (I sent Wife there yesterday--she works around the corner--when I first heard about this).

They had no way of knowing Lidle was gonna end up crashing his plane when, months ago, they decided on marketing that ornament.

Ric said...

get off what? yes, i read the article. yes, the ornamants were created before the crash. yes, the yanks still come off looking like hapless bumblers.

Unknown said...

No, you called them "cold hearted" in the headline, and implied they ignored Lidle's death to follow their marketing plan.

This was a non-story from the get-go; an accident of timing that the Yanks and Franklin Mint could not have foreseen or avoided, but any chance to smack the Yanks is too good for hack bastard's like the editors at the NY Post to pass up. If this story was so bloody important it needed to get printed, why wasn't it a sidebar to the crash coverage back then?

Yankees season ticket holder Denis Guerin calls it "insensitive." Insensitivity is the the first cousin of a cold heart. There, a New Yorker said it not me, so na na na... i'll stop posting non-stories now.. i don't want to disturb the dust thats settled in this blog. lighten up, santa is not real anyway!

So fucking what this dipshit Guerin said whatever he said? He's just as big a dick. If they were running the advert AFTER the crash would be cold; running it a couple of days earlier and then canceling the whole fucking thing is not "insensitive."

But trying to pin this "cold hearted" bullshit on the Yanks is punkassed bullshit to the max.

i changed the title. happy?

NO!
Fer God's sake, Ric, stick with your shit! I've been actually threatened to rewrite (and I don't mean all this bloggy BS) because someone called me on whateverthefuck this, that, or some other whateverthefuck thing. (note: do NOT get into speechifying for ignorami).

NEVER REWRITE WHAT'S ALREADY BEEN SAID.

Say, "Yeah, okay, maybe after looking at it I may have jumped the gun..."

IF YOU REWRITE THE PAST, THE JIHADI WINS!

now, on a lighter note: let's go fuck with The Gnat.

Yo! TC! You're the one living in the land of Hill and Chuckie. You've got to be sensitive to these things, babe! ;)

No, Chief, I live on Staten Island, the lone red spot on the NYC political map.

They might get votes here, but they never show any interest in anything actually happening on The Rock™

Ric said...

fitting that the lone red spot is located on a gigantic pile of landfill.

Unknown said...

get off my lawn, hippy.

Ric said...

so, im waiting for you to chime in on the derek jeter love-fest of awards..... hank aaron? gold glove?!

Unknown said...

It's funny. He never got a Gold Glove award until A-Hole showed up, and suddenly he gets what, three in a row?

Some are saying it's because he doesn't have to worry as much about going to his right, but according to that logic, Brosius must have sucked so bad that Jeter was constantly forced to compensate by covering the turf that A-Hole now controls... which is patently fucking absurd.
