The KKK took my trans fat away
Doug:
Hey, look, I want to move on from talking about the Yankees, too, but, c'mon this shit is just too good to pass up …
Doug:
Now we learn the Yankees were founded by a crooked cop and their logo is stolen.
Mike:
Yeah, and I'm still trying to figure out which of these wins the biggest lie award: Cashman saying A-Rod is a crucial piece of the Yankees future or Paris and Nicole best friends for life again just in time for Simple Life umpteen?
Doug:
I love this Torre quote on A-Rod: "He is a human being and there's a lot of times that he's not perceived that way."
Doug:
Jeez, Joe, the guy is booed because he's paid millions of dollahs for a job he seems incable of doing. He's not the fucking Elephant Man.
Mike:
Remembah when the Yankees were famous for their swaggah and bravado? Now their famous for being sensitive, feeling, metrosexuals.
Doug:
We've been saying it for years. The entire City of New York has gone soft.
Doug:
Think about it. CBGB's is closing, fucking shutting its goddamn doors and what are New Yorkers worried about? Trans fats.
Doug:
You think Tom Verlaine cared about trans fats? You think The Ramones cared about trans fats?
Mike:
Yeah, and you think Mickey Mantle had a personal shrink on speed dial for 24/7 "Mommy, why do they hate me?" consultation?
Doug:
Ah, well, so much for "Take a Walk on the Wild Side." Now it's all "Take a Walk With Your Pilates Mat While Sipping on a Soy Latte."
Mike:
And the vegan girls go "doo do doo do doo do do doo."
Doug:
Speaking of meatless, the Yankees future number one stahtah pissed himself again with the game on the line.
Mike:
Yeah, Zito's going to fit right in with that crowd.
Author's Notes
NYY stolen logo link courtesy of Deadspin.
now that the dust has settled. now that ive gone thru the dissapointment of the sox out and the joy of the yanks humiliated. i now can ponder on the true problem that lies with the sox. i believe the problem is tina cervasio. she's a jinx a jonah and i believe she is a plant from the evil empire.i mean shes from jersey for chrisakes!!!that giant toothy smile and she always seems to be positioned where she can blind sox batters with it. oh not papi tho it wouldn't be good to be to obvious oh no. just a bit of loretta alot of coco and she killed trot i could go on but my meds are on the way. i think rsn should get together in an unruly mob much like the old frankenstien movies and run the biznatch outta town.

//Well, this takes Red Sox devotion to a whole new level.//
H.B., if I get a Soxaholix tat, will you sue me?

Oh God, just noticed that BigLie has crawled back into the light.
His mom's basement must be getting fumigated.

Bob,
Only if your tat also said I had a small penis.

Jeezuz. No Joke. ESPN.com is reporting Cory Lidle was killed in that small plane crash into the side of the 50-story apt. building on the upper east side of Manhattan this afternoon.
My sympathies to his family and to the Yankees.

Hot damn, the Chillicothe Kid has been exhumed!
I reiterate my long-standing suspicion that "BigBri" is H.B. in disguise. Things have been too civil around here recently, so you've resurrected the Nations's favorite straw man for our amusement.

confimed on wfan... prayers to the families
Posted by: mikeya2k1 | 2006.10.11 at 05:05 PM
As much as I despise and hate the Skankees, my prayers go out to the Lidles.
That really sucks.
Posted by: Bob | 2006.10.11 at 05:07 PM
I was in the midst of writing my last comment while Rob in CT posted his. Much apologies for the jarring juxtaposition of my glee at BigBri's reappearance with the somber news of Cory Lidle's death. That's awful news.
Posted by: Aaron | 2006.10.11 at 05:09 PM
And didn't HB just mention Thurman Munson in the comments today? Strike one up for unexplainable coincidence department.
My condolences to the Lidle family.
Posted by: COD | 2006.10.11 at 05:53 PM
Fan allegiances have to be set aside at a time like this. Thoughts and prayers to the Lidle family and the entire Yankees organization. This really sucks.

I hate the Yankees. I love the people as if they were my brothers. It is a shame Cory had to go so soon. It's even worse if someone else may have had to die because of the accident as well. Hopefully, he did everything that he knew how to minimize the casualties.

Oh...no...way.
Sox on Lost.
I can't wait for tomorrow's strip.

wow-talk about a lostaholix-soxaholix connection!

What a perfect pop culture moment.
Posted by: NV in KY | 2006.10.11 at 10:11 PM
Quite a bit of respect towards Lidle shown during the ALCS. Absolute shame. Sympathies to his wife and family. Really seemed to affect the A's tonight.

I didn't see Lost last night, and am posting here in advance of h.b.'s super mind fuck confluence of the pop culture icons today.
But, I would just like to say that PHB's column today about Lidle and NYC is possibly the worst writing I have ever seen by a national sports columnist.
