Yankees Win Season

Baseball teams across the country today conceded that the New York Yankees were unbeatable this year, and as forfeit after forfeit was announced, the baseball season was canceled. Lost revenues in the millions meant that the US government would have to bail out even the best teams, as revenues were not there to pay the high salaries of the players. Locally, cities lost revenues from hotel taxes, parking, and the income taxes of the various stadium employees, from the players on down to the popcorn salespeople.

Will there be a season next year? Talks have already begun to allow other teams to claim at least one Yankee, and the government will subsidize the salaries of players making over ten million dollars a year. If these efforts make the season competitive, then yes, baseball will be back.

I think a few other teams (and fans) will beg to differ but who can converse reasonably with a die hard Yankee fan? Good luck to everyone.

Although A-Rod does plump my putter!

Yanks in Last Place in MLB

 

Of course one must realize that the Yankee Universe is simply playing mind games with the Red Sox Nation... just as was done for most of the first half the season in 2009...

 

At any rate, one down and seventeen Yanks/Sox nail-bitters to go.

The Yankees lost the first 8 games they played against Boston last year, and still won the World Series. Last night's game was really fun to watch, even if the Yanks lost.

Posted

What I thought was interesting was watching the talking heads on ESPN, before the start of the game last night, predict the same outcome for the WS as last year, meaning Yankees vs. Phillies with the Yankees winning. Way to go out on a limb, guys. How original.

 

Best regards,

Come on, Spanky. Can you imagine guys hating the Yankees enough to waste their time and money reading stuff like that? Surely they have better things to do!

On behalf of all Yankee-haters everywhere - a nation of people whose nearly 100 years of bitterness and utter despair was only recently relieved - I can tell you definitively and without hesitation that there is no higher pursuit in life or better way to spend your time than hating those demonic satan-loving philistines from NY.

Sure there's a better way. Become a Cubs fan! :D

Spanky... knowing that you picked your screen name because you like to get spanked and otherwise get roughed up a bit... If you are ever in NYC I think I would be able to hook you up with a couple of S&M specialists with whom you might just have a blast... And oh yes! Be sure to tell them that you are a Yankee hater... that will make the experience all the more "pleasurable" for you!!!!

 

Just trying to help a fellow masochist...

Only in a Clintonian 1992 Universe does 48% ever WIN!

Popular lore to the contrary, the Yankees are not the most despised team in MLB; in fact they are 6 whole slots from the bottom of the outhouse.

 

Any of you Red Sox dupes care to guess who's 2nd from the bottom? He he he. :D

And when they publish their sampling frame and statistical methodology then perhaps they may be able to support their rankings. Until then, this article APPEARING IN A PAPER WITH HEADQUARTERS IN NYC (HELLO!), is nothing more than useless myopic Yankee-loving effluvia.

Myopic effluvia? No way!

Statistics and methodology aside...

 

Always remember: While there may be a Red Sox Nation… it will always be a Yankees Universe… That is a given fact of life.

 

Something to ponder… hence the "skewed" (from your viewpoint) results…

Your response, as expected, is EFFLUVIA! Just more of the same jaded response bias.

Heck is IS a Yankees Universe...

Jaded or not, sometimes it is difficult to hear the truth... but that's just the way it is!

 

Kind of and old pic, but I think it aptly expresses the sentiment...

Ernie Harwell RIP

 

A part of my childhood has died, Ernie Harwell, the Detroit Tigers broadcaster for 42 years has passed at the age of 92. My dad and I listened to hundreds of Tiger games together, and our admiration for Ernie was unlimited. He was a great announcer, a real baseball man, and the last of a long line of broadcast legends who were there for the game and not the fame.

National League

 

There are two major league, it may surprise people to know.

 

I live near the Four Seasons in Philadelphia where most major league teams stay. Last night and tonight there were and are huge crowds outside the hotel waiting for the Cardinals' Albert Pujols to return on the team bus from the ball park. Chances of getting Pujols' autograph seem slim, but it does not matter

 

Do people turn out for ARod, or any other baseball player like this?

Interestingly a number of years ago I was in Baltimore for a convention and also to catch several games at Camden Yards. The Orioles were playing Kansas City and the Royals were at the same hotel at which I was staying. Now there was nobody on the team at that time of the caliber of ARod or Pujols, but I saw no action and it was not even evident that the team was staying there as they managed to blend in and somehow they were whisked in and out by the back door.

 

Incidentally, one of the hotel employees told me that all of the major league teams stayed at that hotel... except one... The Yankees... as at the time (mid 1990's) Mr. Steinbrenner did not get along with the hotel management... go figure!

Grace Kelly

 

It depends on who is in the news at any given moment. Grace Kelly used to stay at her brother's apartment across the street from the Four Seasons (during the Monaco years). There was always at least one limo waiting outside the building, but I do not remember crowds waiting to see her.

 

Even if you met Kelly entering the building (or Pujols entering the Four Season) everyone who works there alwsys denies it was really Kelly or Pujols.
