Spooked Yankees Chasing Stupid Pranks

cover_cement_jersey.jpg

It’s official: the Red Sox are in the Yankees heads.

Big time.

Otherwise, how else do you describe the Yanks spending $50,000 to drill through concrete and re-bar to pluck out a jersey dropped in concrete by some wise-guy?

Ooohhh! We’re cursed! Ooooohhhhhhhh!

Come on.

What ever happened to the old phrase “scoreboard?” The Yankees should have just said: “Oh, really. An Ortiz jersey buried in cement under our dugout? Perfect. Just where we want our division bitches. Buried like Jimmy Hoffa.”

”We’ve got 26 World Championships. How many do you have? Oh, really? Two? Plus the 5 before Babe Ruth trade? Wonderful. Seven. Do call us when you have half of our total. Gotta run.”

Has anybody checked Ortiz’s average lately? He was 3-34 starting the week.

The Yanks could have claimed the curse for themselves. They could have said that the curse is really ON THEM. Then a few years down the road, when Manny is finally gone, Dice K’s gyro-ball is getting tattooed, Ortiz’s arthritic knees give way, and the Red Sox are losing, they would be practically BEGGING the Yankees to let them come in and remove it on their own dime.

But no. The old man Steinbrenner, who would have known how to handle this as the captain of the Evil Empire, is off in Tampa somewhere eating pre-chewed peaches in a bib. His dinky son Hank is running around complaining about ESPN’s conspiracy to promote the Red Sox.

It does make you wonder about the “operational security” of a major project like the new Yankee Stadium. Apparently, the guy just showed up for ONE day of work at the project, for the sole reason of pulling the prank.

And he’s not afraid of prosecution or Hank kicking his ass. Said Gino Castignoli - "Tell Hank he can come meet me if he wants to try - and tell him to bring [catcher Jorge] Posada, because he's the one Yankee I can't stand."

If I were a Yankee fan, I’d be very sad at how far this franchise’s self esteem has fallen.

What Would Irv Have Said?
Hi Steve: When Bob brought up the other day the things may have been different with Brett had Irv been around, I really got to thinking. Since Holmgren, and likely Wolf departed, and his dad died, Favre has had no one to really fear. Next up, Ray Rhodes and Mike Sherman, who let him run wild. Since he didn't have accountability, he could become more of a diva with no one to bring him down to earth. By the time Thompson and McCarthy came along and weren't willing to let Brett walk all over the team, he had been unaccountable for long enough that he couldn't handle it and resented it. Hurt feelings resulted from him having to answer to someone for a change, and from fewer special "Brett rules". I am very curious how he handles Mangini, whom I have been told by a Jets fan is hated by the players. And, wait till Mike Lupica shreds him by mid-October. Read the NY press, they are building him up and up, and they will love tearing him down. See ya, donkey, Terry Rindt Read more ...
