Shelley = My New Hero

As a Yankee fan who went to college in Massachusetts the non stop Yankee Sucks chants grew a little tiresome. I have no issue with Yankee Sucks chants when the Red Sox are playing the Yankees, in fact I think they should be encouraged. However, 9 times out of 10 the Yankee Sucks chants come in some random moment that makes no sense, like home games versus the Devil Rays or completely random like the Patriots Superbowl parades. What the hell do the Yankees have to do with the Patriots winning the Superbowl, people in Boston are just a bit obsessive over the Yankees. It was annoying, so anytime a Red Sox fan gets tooled on I find it amusing, especially when it's a ten year old.

And this is where Shelley Duncan comes in. When asked for an autograph from a little Red Sox Nation misfit he signed it Red Sox Suck, Shelley Duncan. Of course the mother of the kid is going to whine like a little bitch about how Shelley doesn't represent the Yankees well and that he shouldn't be using the word suck. You just brought your kid to a Yankee Red Sox game I'm pretty sure he was surrounded by F*ck the Yankees chants, People 100% inebriated, and some fights between Yankee and Red Sox fans. I think he can handle viewing the word sucks.

Shelley of course has no problem with what he did and that's why he's the man.

“I thought I was back in middle school or high school, where you try to make a joke or say something funny, and you end up saying something that gets you in trouble, I try to be interactive with people, be funny, have a good time and have a laugh. It’s not always Yankees fans that have us sign stuff. I try to rile ’em up and be fun. I don’t expect anybody to make a big deal about it. Nobody ever has before.”

That's what you get kid for asking for the enemies signature. Now go to the other damn dugout and get JD Drew's ink, that's gonna be worth a lot of money someday.

Numbers On Steroids: Mickey Mantle

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. This week it's throwing a curve ball and looking at All Time Great Yankees. Players that we know did not take steroids to see if this gives a defense to any of the players 'convicted' by Numbers on Steroids. Time to look at my dad's favorite athlete of all time, Mickey Mantle. Averages Say: What's with the mysterious dip at 27 and then the uptick? At Bats Per Home Run Says: That's a mighty jump from 22 to 24 Explaining As If It Was the 90s If you take a look at the numbers there are two time frames which in the 1990s would be questioned. First would be the incredible leap he took from his first year in the big leagues to his first MVP season in 1956. His batting average jumped 50 points. His slugging percentage jumped 90 points and he hit 15 more homers than his previous high. This wouldn't merrit a conviction nowadays though because the young age he...

Guest Post: Thoughts on Sabathia Signing

I asked Grutt what his thoughts were on the Sabathia signing and I thought his response pretty much nailed it. So here it is. I don’t know. Every year I get a little more disenchanted with baseball. Yea, it’s great we signed the top pitching free agent. But we were supposed to. No team was even in the ballpark of the Yankees offer yet they still needed to jump from the already ridiculous price of $140 million to $160 million to close the deal. Now I hear we are going to sign more pitchers who will also get large contracts and the position player gaps are still glaring. Each new, large contract just adds to the feeling that the Yanks are supposed to win it all. “I think we have a good chance this year.” That is a lost feeling. If they don’t win I’ll wonder why, like there has to be some other reason besides that it’s a sport you can never predict how things will work out and some years just aren’t yours to be won. If they win I will be pleasantly smug. It gets a little more...
