Dont Mess With TEX!

Good thing that was not Varitek catching, he would now be officially retired!
Now that I've watched this - Texiera is a fucking moron...the objective is to score a run, not to obliterate the catcher and possibly injure yourself...the plate was uncovered...to hit the catcher he had to overrun the plate...again...fucking moron...there was no reason for that, other than a man with tiny penis complex showing he can run someone over...fucking moron...
Had the plate been blocked I would retract my comments, but shit the guy did not even have the ball yet...nor was he blocking the plate...
Get ready SK...more on the way...
When the unarmed Yankee fan in a battle of wits and statistics starts to run out of things to talk about there are 3 things left in there arsenal. They remember 92, now the new 86. They remember 27 and they remember well you just suck. They have already gone to phase 1...threw the 92 out there...god they love to live in the past...even as current champs...
Don't you find being in a battle of wits with unarmed men a bore...lol.
And since Iggys thrown us into F**ktardvill...what the hell...it's Saturday nite...
It is quite boring Jman, no doubt, but it's so easy. Just look at the complete dessimation poor iggy's taken the entire hockey season from JoelCairo in the hockey threads. I compare it to having to slow down when passing an accident scene, you just can't look away no matter how gruesome it is. Hahaha.
More of what you call Ftardisms??? HA! call em what you want but you my friend are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay ahead of anyone with ftardisms these days, just about every post you have this week is one, or for K,. "WON" no (know for K) wonder rumpiepoo is MIA , he is using your "ignore" method perfectly, but wasnt that your idea? haha! ..... the power of a Yankee fan to take a red sox fan completely off his game...... priceless
(i hope you KNOW (for K) i am just having fun, like always, and every post has no/know bad intent whatsoever) go Yanks, another gem by Andy P today (i would spell his last name but not sure K would make fun of me if i did so wrongly)

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahaa

Only means? Weak and lame? Bwwwaaahhh!!! Yet amazingly effective. It says it all, I mean, it's an all out bloodbath massacre and JC is swinging the axe! Comedy at it's finest. You'll never learn though, if you polled every member of merb on what went on in those threads the overwhelming victor by a landslide is JC, it's like the Yankees playing a little league team. No worries though Ig, I still love ya!

My dear friend Iggy,
If you read back through the thread, only this time with purpose and reason, I am sure you will see that most of my posts this last week WHILE baseball related were done in "Joe.t style" (cutting, harsh, meaningless, sarcastic stupidities) with of course a little more polish and substance. I am not the one who started making fucktard, assanine posts every time someone took a lead against the team I love to hate - it was the guy who calls you his hero. It was obvious and transparent he was attempting to lure people and /or piss them off. And yes, my posts were done this way intentionally (believe I mentioned it at one point) to show the fucking moron® how assanine his posts were.
You know damn well that is not my style nor has it been my history. We all now can see the "class" that the style of Joe.t has brought to the thread.
I, like you was having fun...but I guess I just misunderstand Joe.t 'cause his stuff just is not funny to me. As I said, this is getting boring anyway. To each his own...maybe rumples has the right idea...
.Have fun,
Jman

The only things that you have "exposed" lg (apart, perhaps, from some nasty episodes on public transit that I'm sure the horrified witnesses would love to forget as quickly as possible) is your lack of hockey knowledge, your lack of literacy, and your lack of balls (having run from bets offered by GHG, G1G, and JC).
bwahahahahaahha, my buddies back! do you like baseball? dont tell me your a Yanks fan, lemme guess, your a red sox fan ,
, Dont Mess With TEX!

Pow!!! I think that I must have said this word at least 50 times today because that's how many times I saw this video, thanks for the great video Iggy.
bwahahahahaahha, my buddies back! do you like baseball? dont tell me your a Yanks fan, lemme guess, your a red sox fan
Just make up your own little fantasy about which team I'm a fan of - exactly like you insisted on doing in the hockey threads. You're on your own here though - I've already spent too much time humiliating you in the hockey threads, so the baseball season will be my time off (sort of like the playoff season is always time off for the leafs!) from using you as a punching bag.
Your very welcome bro! Pettite is pitching lights out, as good as i have ever seen him throw. Gardner and Cano had great games as well.. good stuff!
did
did
it is your dream, so dream it as BIG as you want, my feelings are hurt... sniff sniff, oh geez, i cant be mad at you. ok you can call a truce for now, fair enough. Go Habs Go, just a few encouraging words for you buddy. Just took a peek at the hockey thread and I see this poor schmuck has fouled it as thoroughly as he has the baseball thread. What's remarkable is that he seems to know less about hockey than he does about baseball, a truly remarkable feat. What the poor illiterate also fails to see is what an ass he's making of himself in both threads.
Well, there are plenty of places to discuss baseball on the internet, so off I go. I'll be back when iggy finally realizes how badly he's embarrassing himself here and crawls back in the hole he came from.
i knew my picture of the yankee babe would get you to climb out from under your rock! Welcome "home" my good ole pal!
Finally, something good at the White House (nice historic article also)
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/25/sports/baseball/25whitehouse.html
When the World Series champion Yankees visit the White House on Monday to meet President Obama, they will continue a tradition, stretching back a century and a half, of baseball players mixing with commanders in chief.
In this media-saturated era, fans take for granted that their title-winning heroes will get a meet-and-greet in the Rose Garden or other notable spot. Olympic medalists, college football champions and even Uno, the beagle who won best in show at the 2008 Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, have shaken hands (or paws) with the president.
But baseball, as the national pastime and one of the country’s oldest organized sports, has a special place at the White House. Many presidents played the game (or rounders, in the case of the earlier presidents) and looked for any chance to connect with voters. They also hoped that the players’ vigor, valiance and glamour rubbed off on them.
“The around-the-clock coverage changes the ways in which Americans look at the White House,” said William B. Bushong, a staff historian at the White House Historical Association, which keeps an archive of baseball-related photos. “Americans want to see their presidents involved in the sporting events that they are.”
One of the earliest recorded visits by a baseball team to the White House was in 1865. The Civil War had ended less than five months earlier, yet President Andrew Johnson found time to greet the members of the Brooklyn Atlantic, which had beaten the National Club of Washington in a game played on the White House grounds.
Johnson was so caught up in intercity matchups that he gave government clerks time off to watch games, according to Paul Dickson, who wrote “Baseball: The Presidents’ Game” with William B. Mead.
Afterward, Johnson told a reporter from The New York Times that the Brooklyn nine had “whipped our fellows pretty badly.”
Four years later, the first professional baseball team, the Cincinnati Red Stockings, visited the White House and met President Ulysses S. Grant, who was born near Cincinnati.
The Yankees, of course, are no strangers to the White House. In 1908, the team, referred to in The Times as the Americans, visited Theodore Roosevelt to urge him to run for re-election.
“Here’s a bunch of mighty handy voters,” Clark Griffith, the manager, told the president as he pointed to his players.
Roosevelt only laughed at the suggestion, though he said he regretted that Quentin, his son and a big baseball fan, could not meet the team.
The first World Series winners to visit the White House appear to be the Washington Senators. The team won the championship in 1924, prompting a flood of letters from fans imploring President Calvin Coolidge to honor the local heroes. Coolidge was no baseball fan, and the meeting did not take place.
But in 1925, Coolidge met the Senators after they won the American League pennant. He called the players by their first names and posed for a picture with them, according to a report in The Times. The Senators went on to blow a three-games-to-one lead in the World Series, losing to the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Presidents Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy and Richard M. Nixon were big sports fans, and opportunistic hosts. Nixon greeted baseball greats in 1969 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Major League Baseball.
The modern tradition of World Series champions visiting the White House, though, started with President Ronald Reagan, who was a sports nut, a former radio sports announcer and an actor who portrayed the Hall of Fame pitcher Grover Cleveland Alexander in the movie “The Winning Team.”
During the Reagan years, the Kansas City Royals, the Mets, the Minnesota Twins and the Los Angeles Dodgers visited the White House after their World Series victories. Reagan also hosted the Los Angeles Lakers, the Islanders and the N.F.L. Giants after they won league championships.
Babe Ruth, Joe DiMaggio and Roger Maris were just a few of the Yankees to visit the White House over the years, though few of the championship teams appear to have visited the White House. In 1999, the Yankees met President Bill Clinton at the White House to commemorate their victory the previous season.
As Clinton and George Steinbrenner, the Yankees’ principal owner, entered the South Lawn, the band struck up “Hail to the Chief.” Clinton turned to Steinbrenner and said, “Don’t get any ideas, it’s not for you.”
On Monday, Yankees pitcher Andy Pettitte will meet his fourth president. He met Clinton and George W. Bush at the White House, and George Bush when he and his wife, Barbara, visited the clubhouse of the Sea Dogs in Portland, Me., where Pettitte played in the minor leagues.
By now, Pettitte knows the routine. After waiting in a holding room, he and the team will be taken on a tour of the White House, including the Oval Office, where some players will sit in the president’s chair. The commander in chief will then greet the players, shake their hands and pose for pictures.
“Some of us have been a little spoiled with all these trips to the White House, but it’s obviously an honor,” Pettitte said. “Anytime we get a chance, we know it’s a good day for us.”

I can't believe the Yankees are still sending out Javier Vasquez and his 9.00 ERA. This could be the worst signing of the entire off season all courtesy of brain dead Cashman!!! You think the idiot would have learned the first time Vasquez pitched for the Yanks.
