Author Topic: Brand Spanking New York Yankees Thread
Date Posted: 3/27/04 6:58am Subject: RE: Brand Spanking New York Yankees Thread
I hate the fact that they're opening in Japan. I never liked this idea for MLB and I sure as hell don't like it any more now. Plus I really don't feel like waking up at 5am just to watch the game.

Yeah the 5am Japan thing bugs me, too.

Er...I'm still gonna try and get up for it though.

What? It's been a long winter!

I never thought I'd hear myself say this but I hope the Yanks win tonight. Nothing against the D-Rays but I'd rather see a 2-way tie for 1st than see Tampa in sole possesion of first place (I know that the season is only one game old, but it's just not right) wink .

All right, my theory on today/this morning: (and yes! I DID get up!)

All right, it's Mussina, man. Now, he's gonna do great things for us this season. Of that I have no doubt. But you all know what an insane creature of habit he is. I mean, it haunted us in the playoffs, too. So that's the problem, here. He's off his every fifth day regime. (Does anyone know the last time he pitched? I honestly don't.) Not to mention, he's halfway across the world, and there's that whole jetlag issue.

So, yeah. I don't like to give excuses, but I'm sure that's what it is. Hopefully, Kevin Brown will pick us up tomorrow (even doubly so, since he's MY fantasy pitcher! tongue ).

Go Yanks!!

Now THAT'S more like it. 12-1, four HR's(two from Posada) and Brown looking damn good. That's what I like to see.

Okay, back in February I asked about a possible Boone rumor where Aaron would re-sign with the Yankees and play second base (scroll up for exact post). Anyways, no one was really sure, and I haven't heard anything about that since then.

But I was on espn.com and reading an article on the Yankees/Red Sox rivalry and what will make it great this year, and this line caught my eye:


Because the Yankees just might sign Boone later this summer if his knee heals quickly -- just in time for the three-game series at Fenway on Sept. 24, the final weekend of the regular season.


Because Torre might pencil in his new second baseman as "A.F. Boone."


Because that's his name in Boston, now and forever.


Now, the rest of the article was based on fact. So I'm not sure if this is a legitimate rumor, or if this guy was just saying this tongue in cheek. Any thoughts? I'd still love it.

Here's the original article if you want to read it:

Best Rivalry in Sports

Haha, that is funny. I will steal it and post it elsewhere.

Economic system
Yankees: Aggressively capitalist.
USSR: Aggressively communist.
Galactic Empire: Aggressively filling George Lucas' coffers.
Winner: Yanks. It's the American way.

Notable first
Yankees: $180 million-plus payroll.
USSR: Sputnik, Yuri Gagarin
Galactic Empire: SFX-laden blockbuster with the depth of a comic book.
Winner: Yanks. With that amount of cash, they could send Brian Cashman to Mars. In a Tie Fighter.

Weapons of mass destruction
Yankees: 1-9 on the lineup card.
USSR: Enough SS-19s to turn North America into a giant windshield.
Galactic Empire: Death Star I.
Winner: Yanks. Let's see Death Star, ICBMs hit for power and average.

Sunny side
Yankees: Jeter-Steinbrenner Visa ads.
USSR: Glasnost and Perestroika.
Galactic Empire: Darth Vader choking — but not killing — another incompetent general.
Winner: Empire. Visa ads played out; "Glasnost" sounds like beef stew.

Inspirational text
Yankees: Steinbrenner's checkbook.
USSR: Das Kapital.
Galactic Empire: 1,001 Star Wars spinoff "novels."
Winner: Yanks. Apparently bottomless.

Biggest whiff
Yankees: Drew Henson.
USSR: Afghanistan.
Galactic Empire: "The Phantom Menace."
Winner: Empire. "Yipeee!"

Fashion quirk
Yankees: Pinstripes.
USSR: That blotch on Gorbachev's forehead.
Galactic Empire: Wearing plastic helmets 24-7.
Winner: Soviets. Yanks classic; Empire kinky; Gorby inexplicable.

Stickin' it to a rival
Yankees: Signing A-Rod after Red Sox balked at price.
USSR: Propping up Castro.
Galactic Empire: Striking down Obi-Wan.
Winner: Yanks. Denying Boston not just a job but a way of life.

Fearsome slugger
Yankees: Gary Sheffield.
USSR: Ivan Drago.
Galactic Empire: Imperial Walkers.
Winner: None. Be it bad thumb, Balboa or bungee cords, all can be felled.

Puppet regimes
Yankees: New York media.
USSR: Warsaw Pact.
Galactic Empire: Cloud City.
Winner: Soviets. Brought Czechs, Slovaks together.

Prodigal son
Yankees: David Wells.
USSR: Yakov Smirnoff.
Galactic Empire: Boba Fett.
Winner: Soviets. Can Fett, Wells boast own variety stage show in Branson, Mo.?

Bandwagon fan
Yankees: Hilary Clinton.
USSR: Jane Fonda.
Galactic Empire: Lando Calrissian, after he sold out Han.
Winner: Empire. Billy Dee never backed Viet Cong, flawed national health care system.

Morbid curiosity
Yankees: Monument Park.
USSR: Lenin's Tomb.
Galactic Empire: Adult costume play at "Star Wars" conventions.
Winner: Empire. Nothing creepier than a 300-pound woman in a Princess Leia "Jedi"-style leather bikini.

Turncoat
Yankees: Roger Clemens.
USSR: Mikhail Baryshnikov.
Galactic Empire: Vader, tossing the Emperor in a really big ditch.
Winner: Yanks. Also backstabbed Red Sox, Blue Jays.

Inadvertently supports
Yankees: Spendthrift teams that dip into the luxury tax pot.
USSR: United States' military-industrial complex.
Galactic Empire: Production of "Howard the Duck."
Winner: Empire. Why couldn't Eisenhower warn us about Lucas' lame duck?

Curious shrinkage
Yankees: Jason Giambi.
USSR: Post-Cold War breakup.
Galactic Empire: The Imperial Army's awe-inspiring might, when confronted by Ewoks.
Winner: Yanks. South Beach diet prohibits sugars, BALCO supplements.

Deadly in short bursts
Yankees: Mariano Rivera.
USSR: AK-47.
Galactic Empire: Lucas' hamfisted dialogue.
Winner: Empire. So brutal, Amnesty International should get involved.

Signature toy
Yankees: Bobbleheads.
USSR: Nesting dolls.
Galactic Empire: Action figures.
Winner: Yanks. Everyone loves bobbleheads. Right?

Trash talk
Yankees: "The magnitude of me."
USSR: "The dustbin of history."
Galactic Empire: "If you only knew the power of the Dark Side."
Winner: Soviets. Of course, they ended up in it.

One shining moment
Yankees: Aaron Boone's homer.
USSR: Battle of Stalingrad.
Galactic Empire: Vader batting away Han's blaster fire with the palm of his hand.
Winner: Empire. Total ownage.

All bark, no bite
Yankees: Against Arizona, Anaheim, Florida.
USSR: Cuban Missile Crisis.
Galactic Empire: Death Star II.
Winner: Yanks. And they were supposed to "know how to win."

Reason to panic
Yankees: "Now on the mound ... Josh Beckett."
USSR: "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down that wall."
Galactic Empire: "Use the force, Luke."
Winner: None. Bad news is bad news.

Structural weakness
Yankees: Bankrupt pitching.
USSR: Bankrupt economy.
Galactic Empire: Ventilation shafts.
Winner: Empire. Slap some plywood over it, for heaven's sake!

Surprisingly good at
Yankees: Petty disputes that keep their games off certain cable networks.
USSR: Producing chess champions.
Galactic Empire: Sounding British.
Winner: Yanks. Not an easy thing in the 400-channel era.

Secret shame
Yankees: Don't win it all every year.
USSR: State-issued toilet paper chafes.
Galactic Empire: Storm troopers can't shoot straight.
Winner: Empire. Shaquille O'Neal more accurate from the line.

Final tally: Ben Affleck is right! The Yanks are the most evil empire of all, edging out the Galactic Empire 10-9. Nyet to the Russkies! No to the Dark Side! Cower before the pinstripe.
