And the poll results are…

Ok, we’ve got the results to the two polls posed earlier in the day.
Slowest Yankee: Gary Sheffield. This result is still under investigation because of allegations that Mike T. may have voted 67 times, yelling about the lack of hussle from this Yankee great.
Most ridiculous in a Yankee uniform: John [...]

Most ridiculous- cap dept.

Hands down most funny in Yank cap- Oscar Gamble – his Afro was so huge he looked like he had Mickey Mouse ears. If you saw picture or remember him you are grinning to yourself at the mental picture right now.

Ridiculus in a Yankee uniform?

I hate to talk about the dead, but the answer is definitely Robert Merrill. He used to come out to sing in a home uniform that looked so old and dirty- it was yellow. and didn’t fit around his belly. He looked ridiculous.

Sierra

Big Ru is ready to join the team. He’s with the team now, but on Thursday when the rosters expand, he will be activated. On the Yankees website he is quoted as saying: “I’m not 100%. I have a flat tire. I run like Jason (Giambi).”
This brings us an [...]

Bellhorn.

Bellhorn looked like the moron in shop class who cuts his own finger off on the chop saw. Has anyone looked worse in a Yankee uniform? When the game came on last night and Bellhorn stepped to the plate, I said to myself “who is this idiot?”

This is it

Well August 31st is here. From the time they started this run against Texas they are 14-5. I wanted them to be 14-6 but I’m greedy. I want 15-5. It is appropriate that Randy Johnson take the mound for this pivotal game. Everyone knows what we need: A dominating [...]

A-Rod

Yes I forgot to mention Mo. He does have that steely eyed stare that he will give. I have also seen him get a smile where he clinches his teeth as well (very rarely).
A comment about MVP: If the Yankees make the post-season, the Most Valuable Player award will go to [...]

Pitchers, Umps and A-Rod.

You forgot about Mo. He just stares in at the umpire for a couple of seconds, the same way he stares down a batter, then returns to the mound. Randy barks at the umps (he is a child). You definitely have moose down. It’s that extra second or two in the [...]

Bellhorn & Giambi & Kazmir

Bellhorn played 14 games at third for the Sox in 2004. One of which was the September 18th, 2004 game that my father and I attended. We crushed the Sox 14-4 in that game with bombs from Bernie, A-Rod (off Mendoza I think), and Posada. Matsui got his 100th RBI in that [...]

Another example

Now that I think about it, another example for Cone was the slightly turned head (usually to the right) and he would actually say: “Oh come on, Tim.” (for Tim Tschida) or insert Umpire’s first name. Cone was one of the few pitchers I know who would directly speak to the umpires, “Where [...]
