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.
Let's Go Yanks!

Greg Cohen said...

Hey people. Hope you're all having a good night. Boston lost earlier so I'm already in a good mood.

Nice vid, YB.

Greg Cohen said...

I just wish it was to video highlights instead of a slideshow.

JC said...

A-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.

Liam Gallagher said...

I like the find YB!

Whats up guys?

Brian Danuff said...

Nothin really. Went shopping for football gear today. (I'm playing tackle football this fall)

Oh my god an injured testicle? You know how embarrassiing that must be?

Brian Danuff said...

And how painful.

Brian Danuff said...

Just read the story. And all because he didn't wear a cup. Too bad.

Liam Gallagher said...

Well he was stupid not wearing one.

I went golfing today.

Liam Gallagher said...

BTW, did you guys know that Michael Vick signed with the Eagals?

Liam Gallagher said...

That song is in my head now YB. Hahaha.

Brian Danuff said...

Holy shite he did? I didn't know. Watch out McNabb! LOL

Brian Danuff said...

lol

Greg Cohen said...

I can't understand playing third base and not wearing a cup. He almost deserved it.

Liam Gallagher said...

lol

Greg Cohen said...

What's up Liam?

Greg Cohen said...

I'm surprised Dallas didn't sign him. They usually like signing criminals.

Liam Gallagher said...

Nothin much Captain. We almost have the hole crew hear now. We just need the chosen one hear.

Liam Gallagher said...

I still have that song in my head!!! But I don't want it out though.

Mario said...

ok boys lets introduce IAN SNELL to the american league, & the BRONX BOMBERS...

Roger said...

Afternoon All

Roger said...

Hey YB thanks for the Yankees song thats so cool

Greg Cohen said...

Hey Roger, Mario, JC, Bootleg, YB, Liam, and anyone I missed.

Greg Cohen said...

Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!

Roger said...

Great start, just a few more now.

Seems very quiet in here, is it the time the game is on over there

Greg Cohen said...

Yea probably.

Rich said...

hey guys, here is another classic yankee song- the Yankee Mambo lol

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzNsLJVnG8k&feature=related

Greg Cohen said...

lol

Rich said...

GONE!

Greg Cohen said...

Wow Jeter showing some power.

Greg Cohen said...

A big inning could be coming. Second time around and Snell isn't fooling anyone.

Mario said...

AW YEAH, I believe I called it, kinda like crash davis ( kevin costner ) when you speak, speak well... bull durham

Greg Cohen said...

Matsui goes yard, a two-run shot, 5-0 Yanks.

Mario said...

what up greg, sorry, switching back n forth between yanks, this blog, to steelers vs cards game & steelers blog

JC said...

Yanks are smackin' around Snell with ease!

Greg Cohen said...

Hey Mario. What's the score in the Steelers game?

JC said...

Not wearing a cup at third is just DUMB. I mean, that position (along with catcher) is one where you REALLY need to wear one!

That sucks! He needs surgery! I don't even want to know exactly what they need to do to fix it!

Greg Cohen said...

19-for-41? Holy s***!

Mario said...

game over, steelers 20-10

Mario said...

you guys know VICK signed with PHILLY, he must like birds, sense he kills and tortures dogs

Greg Cohen said...

I'm a Giants fan so now I hate him even more.

Mario said...

ok CC, u've got 5-0 lead, go after them

Mario said...

nice DP there, quick inning, get back to rocking snell, wonder what ole McNabb thinks of his new teammate

Greg Cohen said...

CC may not give up another hit all night.

Greg Cohen said...

MVP! MVP! MVP!

Rich said...

i love this vintage Yankee Baseball at its best, im going to go watch and go to sleep see you guys later

Greg Cohen said...

Later Rich.

Mario said...

the old mariners symbol, looks like an upside down pitchfork

Mario said...

yeah, thats total BS , yanks have to west coast trips this late in the season schedule people screwed us bigtime on that

Mario said...

how'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...

Greg Cohen said...

No idea. I assume he's not doing too well. He didn't look too great the last picture I saw of him.

Mario said...

well hopefully we won't need Mo tonight, terrible, bases loaded, 0 outs, & only gonna score 1 freakin run,

Mario said...

swish & melky, & chico molina no hits, come on guys, join the party

Mario said...

well like i said, hopefully this game is all but over, i need to work on some work stuff, catch all you guys later.

Greg Cohen said...

CC 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.

Like the Avis commercial says, "total domination".

Greg Cohen said...

Later Mario.

Anonymous said...

GODZILLA!

Greg Cohen said...

Wow, what a ballgame for Matsui.

Roger said...

What a great game, a few more like this would be nice.

Greg Cohen said...

Yea it's great to have a nice easy win like this.

Anonymous said...

Sabathia was great!

Bruney 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.
