Obligation Fulfilled

How's that pipe break doin' for you Feckless Fenway Fuckwits?

Bush is Bush

No matter how you look at. First, The Slap. Then, The Yell. Now, The Mound.

What a tool.

This just about says it all...

Not Bad for a 5th Starter, Eh?

Very nice... now someone please grab Joba by the back of his neck and tell him, "See, Chubbie? Just rear back and throw, dammit!"

OAKLAND - No-hitters remain a rarity in baseball, but the Yankees are making the near-misses seem routine this season.

Phil Hughes became the second Yankee to come within sixouts of a no-no in the season's first 14 games, losing his bid Wednesday night on Eric Chavez's infield single in the eighth inning.

Hughes retreated to the bench two batters later, watching Joba Chamberlain and Mariano Rivera finish up a 3-1 win over the A's, the Yankees' sixth straight victory.

And Mo? You might be bored coming in w/a 2 run lead, but you don't need to make it friggin' "interesting," capisce?

Time To Start Relaxing?

It's a long season, but wow, what a start. Makes me wonder whether it's time to party like it's 1998.

Hoist the Flags and Pass Out the Rings

The Boys are Back in Da Bronx!

Meet teh Mutts, Greet teh Mutts...

...step right and and beat the schmucks!

"THIS is exactly the kind of start manager Jerry Manuel and general manager Omar Minaya did not want and did not need.

All the Mets' weaknesses have been on display the last two games. The starting pitching was terrible Wednesday night and last night the Mets' lack of offense wasted a competitive start from young Jon Niese in a desultory 3-1 loss to the Marlins at a deathly quiet Citi Field in front of 25,982 fans, the smallest crowd ever at the new park."

So much for a quick start - NYPOST.com:

It's Only Three Games...

...so I gotta say, "Meh. Do the same in the next three series and MAYBE I'll relax."

Yay Me!

baseball is back, and it is starting off right.

One of the Glories of Spring Training Games...

No Michael Kay on YES.

One Bourbon...

And just where was Joba 'Firewater' Chamberlain on the night in question?

And so it goes...

Good riddance is what I say.

And So It Begins....

Yankees report to camp ready to repeat

WTF with the first construct?

Caveman? Miss?

Right now, my brain votes "Oh God, we are gonna get screwed."

Dear Joba,

Do not--I repeat: DO NOT!--screw this start up.

I figure C.C. and Pettite can handle the idea of what this weekend's games mean in the grand scheme of things, but you? I'm noteven sure what planet you're on when you walk out to the mound.

Kneel Before Your God!

Screaming Douche Alert

SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. -- Jim Rice's advice to Little Leaguers: Don't use today's major leaguers as role models.

Speaking to players before the start of the Little League World Series, the new baseball Hall of Famer said today's major leaguers are too focused on individual goals and getting big contracts.

"You see a Manny Ramirez, you see an A-Rod [Alex Rodriguez], you see [Derek] Jeter ... Guys that I played against and with, these guys you're talking about cannot compare," Rice said to Little Leaguers gathered in the cafeteria.

You insolent shit. No wonder the writers were so disinclined to vote you a plaque for all those years....

JETER? WHAT THE FUCK HAS JETER EVER DONE TO YOU, OR YOUR "SENSIBILITIES," THAT YOU THINK YOU'RE IN A POSITION TO STAND IN JUDGEMENT?

You one said, when asked what was he best thing about being a major league player, "the fifteenth and thirtieth." Because that's when you got paid.

Jeter's donated more money to underprivileged kids than you ever got paid, you useless piece of shit.

I'm spitting on your bronzed douchebag face next time I hit Cooperstown.
