Yo I just found this awesome song on YouTube. The best Yankees song I've ever heard, next to New York, New York. It'll get you pumped for the playoffs.

What a shock that Jeter is playing an A-Rod isn't huh? haha. Didn't A-Rod get hit on the pad? We know Jeter didn't. Maybe it's just easy to give Alex his weekly day off tonight? Either way I'm not surprised to see the Captain at the top of the order tonight.
ReplyDeleteLet's Go Yanks!
Hey people. Hope you're all having a good night. Boston lost earlier so I'm already in a good mood.
ReplyDeleteNice vid, YB.
I just wish it was to video highlights instead of a slideshow.
ReplyDeleteA-Rod was getting today off no matter what. Girardi said on Tuesday that Tex was getting Wednesday off and A-Rod was getting Thursday off.
ReplyDeleteI like the find YB!
ReplyDeleteWhats up guys?
Nothin really. Went shopping for football gear today. (I'm playing tackle football this fall)
ReplyDeleteOh my god an injured testicle? You know how embarrassiing that must be?
And how painful.
ReplyDeleteJust read the story. And all because he didn't wear a cup. Too bad.
ReplyDeleteWell he was stupid not wearing one.
ReplyDeleteI went golfing today.
BTW, did you guys know that Michael Vick signed with the Eagals?
ReplyDeleteThat song is in my head now YB. Hahaha.
ReplyDeleteHoly shite he did? I didn't know. Watch out McNabb! LOL
ReplyDeletelol
ReplyDeleteI can't understand playing third base and not wearing a cup. He almost deserved it.
ReplyDeletelol
ReplyDeleteWhat's up Liam?
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised Dallas didn't sign him. They usually like signing criminals.
ReplyDeleteNothin much Captain. We almost have the hole crew hear now. We just need the chosen one hear.
ReplyDeleteI still have that song in my head!!! But I don't want it out though.
ReplyDeleteok boys lets introduce IAN SNELL to the american league, & the BRONX BOMBERS...
ReplyDeleteAfternoon All
ReplyDeleteHey YB thanks for the Yankees song thats so cool
ReplyDeleteHey Roger, Mario, JC, Bootleg, YB, Liam, and anyone I missed.
ReplyDeleteJerry! Jerry! Jerry!
ReplyDeleteGreat start, just a few more now.
ReplyDeleteSeems very quiet in here, is it the time the game is on over there
Yea probably.
ReplyDeletehey guys, here is another classic yankee song- the Yankee Mambo lol
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzNsLJVnG8k&feature=related
lol
ReplyDeleteGONE!
ReplyDeleteWow Jeter showing some power.
ReplyDeleteA big inning could be coming. Second time around and Snell isn't fooling anyone.
ReplyDeleteAW YEAH, I believe I called it, kinda like crash davis ( kevin costner ) when you speak, speak well... bull durham
ReplyDeleteMatsui goes yard, a two-run shot, 5-0 Yanks.
ReplyDeletewhat up greg, sorry, switching back n forth between yanks, this blog, to steelers vs cards game & steelers blog
ReplyDeleteYanks are smackin' around Snell with ease!
ReplyDeleteHey Mario. What's the score in the Steelers game?
ReplyDeleteNot wearing a cup at third is just DUMB. I mean, that position (along with catcher) is one where you REALLY need to wear one!
ReplyDeleteThat sucks! He needs surgery! I don't even want to know exactly what they need to do to fix it!
19-for-41? Holy s***!
ReplyDeletegame over, steelers 20-10
ReplyDeleteyou guys know VICK signed with PHILLY, he must like birds, sense he kills and tortures dogs
ReplyDeleteI'm a Giants fan so now I hate him even more.
ReplyDeleteok CC, u've got 5-0 lead, go after them
ReplyDeletenice DP there, quick inning, get back to rocking snell, wonder what ole McNabb thinks of his new teammate
ReplyDeleteCC may not give up another hit all night.
ReplyDeleteMVP! MVP! MVP!
ReplyDeletei love this vintage Yankee Baseball at its best, im going to go watch and go to sleep see you guys later
ReplyDeleteLater Rich.
ReplyDeletethe old mariners symbol, looks like an upside down pitchfork
ReplyDeleteyeah, thats total BS , yanks have to west coast trips this late in the season schedule people screwed us bigtime on that
ReplyDeletehow's the BOSS doing, i know he's gone from public view, but he has to be happy with how his team is playing now...
ReplyDeleteNo idea. I assume he's not doing too well. He didn't look too great the last picture I saw of him.
ReplyDeletewell hopefully we won't need Mo tonight, terrible, bases loaded, 0 outs, & only gonna score 1 freakin run,
ReplyDeleteswish & melky, & chico molina no hits, come on guys, join the party
ReplyDeletewell like i said, hopefully this game is all but over, i need to work on some work stuff, catch all you guys later.
ReplyDeleteCC should go at least 8. He's throwing the ball very well. The Yankees have completely dominated the M's in every area of the game so far.
ReplyDeleteLike the Avis commercial says, "total domination".
Later Mario.
ReplyDeleteGODZILLA!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a ballgame for Matsui.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great game, a few more like this would be nice.
ReplyDeleteYea it's great to have a nice easy win like this.
ReplyDeleteSabathia was great!
ReplyDeleteBruney looks like he is back to his early season form.
He’s locating his fastball very well and it has a nice downwards plane to it again.
This team is shaping up as a juggernaut.
