The great prophet of our time has some wise words about the 8:05 start on September 21st and the absurd Yankees ticket prices. I hate a link for links sake, but Mushnick is the man.
Mets Guy in Michigan: If Bob Klapisch ran the All-Star Game
I dig the Mets Guy in Michigan. He brings it in this great sarcastic Yankee post.
Mets Guy in Michigan: If Bob Klapisch ran the All-Star Game
Among the sarcastic suggestions for the All Star Game….
All opposing players must wear No. 26 in tribute to the 26 world championships the Yankees have won. Did you know they’ve won 26 world championships? That’s right, 26. This will be mentioned over the loud speakers between each half-inning, which is only slightly more frequently than normal. I repeat, 26 world championships. But don’t mention that they’ve lost the last two World Series they’ve appeared in to expansion teams.
Speaking of the Yankees – I’m rooting for them to sweep the Rays. I like watching playoff baseball and I hope the Yankees are there. I’d like to see the Rays make it too, that would be cute. And Torre just so he can be righteous. Boston can stay home.
M-E-T-S, Mets Mets Mets!
Great night! Mets win, Phillies lose.
Pelfrey was rocking. SNY mentioned the Giants. The Jets acknowledged Queens for the first time in a quarter century. UnderReyes got his first hit.
I’m starting to get excited so watch out, that probably means they lose 5 of 6.
Maybe they shouldn’t have allowed the Jets’ bad luck back in the building.
Ryan Church, I hope you get well soon. Don’t rush back just for a baseball game, get healthy.
Meanwhile in the Bronx – Rays have nice uniforms but Yanks win.
Most importantly I get to go to bed early! Good night all around.
Attention Yankees: Biggest Series Of Year Alert
Dear Yankees,
I enjoy watching your baseball games in October. You probably enjoy playing them and think of them as a birth rite.
As you look at your schedule this week, do not be fooled into thinking that these three games against the “Devil Rays” will be easy. They won’t be. The rays have cast aside the Devil, and now have the best record in baseball. No, really.
This is the most important series you’ve played all year and you must sweep. The clock is starting to run and it’s time to make up some games. The Rays have plenty of young pitching, including an all-star named Scott Kazmir (name sounds familiar, I can’t quite place it).
I’d like you guys to be there in October. Hopefully we can close out both stadiums with a Subway Series. If that can’t happen, maybe Joe Torre’s Dodgers will show up. Either way, you need to sweep.
John Sterling Is Your Uncool Buddy
John Sterling could actually be ‘good’ if he would just drop the annoying forced cliches. He’s a comfortable listen until he starts with “It is high! It is far! It’s off the top of the wall!”
I’m not a physics major but maybe it could have had a high arc and hit the wall. Maybe it was hit ‘far’ to hit any 8 foot fence but how could it be high and far and come down at such any abrupt angle?
Imagine you’re at the sports bar and you’re buddy says to you, “An A-Bomb for A-Rod!”. You would punch him in the nose and go look for some girls to talk to.
What about your socially awkward coworker who calls the first baseman “The Giambino.”.
And what the heck is “Robbie Cano and what do you know” or whatever it is he says. Last time anyone talked like that they were in black and white and wearing a fedora.
Sterlingnator, just call the game and stop with the signature calls. It’s not cool at all.
