What He Said

Roar of the Tigers | MVN - a Detroit Tigers blog - Pudge for The Farns; excuse me, my brain has exploded

Well deserved...

CLAP CLAP CLAP!

Cheers, Goose!

Been a long time but VERY WELL deserved.

Oh, yeah, TC. Dick Williams DID deserve the honor as well

"These games always mean the most when the baseball is more meaningful than the drama," said Johnny Damon , who has seen the rivalry from both sides of the abyss, who was once the most loathsome of Red Sox as a hirsute pest, who is now hated enough in Boston to give both Derek Jeter Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez a run for their championship belts.
"The manufactured stuff isn't nearly as interesting."

Don't worry, Clean Shaven Caveman, this weekend is gonna be hella interesting....
NOW GO SMASH THE FECKLESS FUCKERS FROM FENWAY!

OH CAPTAIN MY CAPTAIN says:

"Kid? Remember: you buy the ticket, you take the ride.... Where's Pudge? The dude is overdue for another kick in the nads. Feuds don't die just because one dude's dead. Go find Dent--wait, wrong era, I mean Jeter--and tell him The One True Captain Since Gehrig wants him to instigate a weekend's worth of heartache on those bastards from Beantown.

Oh, and tell Joba to just shake it off when the Nation starts screaming about killing his kid for what the Bleacher Creatures did to Papelbon during the All Star Game. But if push comes to shove, tell him bean Youk early and get that shit over with."

1986 - The Evolution of Barry Bonds - TIME

It's pretty obvious something was going on once you pass 1997. Enter the new century and the "hitting the gym" idea pretty much crumbles.

BALCO didn't get seriously involved with athletes until 1996.

Of course, that they were located in King Roid's backyard is strictly a co-inky-dence.

Too bad TIME couldn't include "hat size" in the stats they listed.

I Don't Know Why...

but I'm developing an irrational hatred of Wilson Betemite. Just seeing him on the TV screen makes my knuckles go white. I mean, he hasn't done anything to deserve it, but when I see him, I look for something to fling at the TV screen if they don't switch cameras right goddamn now!

Hey, Hey, Oh ohh oh ho ho-ah, Hey

Happy Birthday, Dion

Ichiro's speech to All-Stars revealed - MLB - Yahoo! Sports

Best. All Star Game Story. EVAH.

The exact words are not available. Players are too busy laughing to remember them. Ichiro wouldn’t dare repeat them in public. So here’s the best facsimile possible.

“Bleep … bleep bleep bleep … National League … bleep … bleep … bleeeeeeeeep … National – bleep bleep bleepbleepbleep!”

Image via WikipediaGod, that was the most brutal treatment I've heard the Stadium deliver, easily topping "Who's your Daddy?" The frightening thing (in a funny kind of way) was it could have been worse.

There were a LOT of people in the stands wearing colors from all around the league, which means it wasn't a normal Yankee Stadium "Zoo" crew. But many, many Bleacher Creatures (and wannabes) stuck around to take that shot at Papelbon, and riled the rest of the spectators up enough to join in on their twisted brand of enthusiasm.

Still, if this was a regular Yanks/Sawx game, the vitriol would have been a physical force... as would NYPD's response to the riots that would have broken out when Nationites retaliated against Mo.

Lord, next weekend's Fenway excursion is gonna be friggin' insane. Mumbles is gonna need to call out the National Guard.

PS: It was giddily glorious watching Mutt Billy Wagner blow the save.

Yo! George!

Where's your Hitters Dot Net hat?

Boggs is dead to me

As with Joe Buck and Fox Sports everything about the introduction was WAY overdone.

However, Dave Winfield went up in my esteem for the 'dual' hat effort.

Boggs, THE FUCK, can BURN IN HELL for not at least wearing the Sawx hat.

My one wish: That Pudge was there and instead of doffing his Sawx cap, he unfurled this

Yo, Paps? It's "Enter Sandman" or it's "Police Escort Required to Exit"

"Bobby Murcer was a born Yankee, a great guy, very well-liked and a true friend of mine. I extend my deepest sympathies to his wife Kay, their children and grandchildren. I will really miss the guy."

Wife is, "why are you crying?
"HE WAS SUPPOSED TO SURVIVE."



OH CAPTAIN MY CAPTAIN says:

"Kid? Remember: you buy the ticket, you take the ride.... god dammit, Bobby, you got here too early."

God Bless Bobby

Godspeed, Bobby

Bobby Murcer died today at age 62.

Love the fact that he's one of a select few in Yankees history to swat 4 homers in consecutive ABs.

Thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

Please, you jackasses are catching them when they're reeling... don't screw this up! It's bad enough that both teams are looking uphill at the Devil Rays.

(And who the fuck was the rocket scientist behind signing the fat bastard Poawnson?)

UPDATE: Well, that hope went down faster than Obama threw his Granny under the bus.
