McCarver strikes me as one who is amazed that the sun rises in the east every morning
Hey Al, just go away, baby.
"If CC starts game 1 of the World Series, Yankees fans will know they won tonight"
Can we just shut him up? Seriously, does he realize just how dumb his comments are? “If they yankees win tonight, they will know they won tonight.” Just dumb.
CuttheMullet, from "The Thread":
"Whenever I’m about to do something, I think "would an idiot do that?" and if they would, I do not do that thing."
but if they don't win tonight they'll know they didn't win tonight which means they'll
know that they play tomorrow which they’ll have to play if they don’t win tonight.
OMGawh
Does the sun set in the west too!!! Every night??!!!!!
CuttheMullet, from "The Thread":
"Whenever I’m about to do something, I think "would an idiot do that?" and if they would, I do not do that thing."
it does set in the West because the sun knows that it sets in the west
and it knows this because it rises in the east and then it sets in the west which is why it rises in the east which the suns knows because it sets in the west.

Might be worth it.
Hey Al, just go away, baby.
Jeter would have had a hit there
but he was worried we’d all just chatter about his perfection all night, so he made an out out of pure modesty and altruism. Plus, he was helping a little old lady cross the street with his mind during that AB, and these things take precedence even over baseball when you’re as perfect and as wholesome as Derek Jeter.

the TV annoncers seem to really be hype
to filter every damn thing the Yankees do through this epic “story” they like to tell, where the syrupy music plays and the soaring strings are supposed to get you all goopy with Gehrigness or something. Really it’s to sell, to promote the product of MLB like their bosses insist they do, with the Yankees as the marquee franchise whose dream all this is and the rest of the teams are just in the Yankees’ dream.

If you had a lineup of 9 Jack Custs who hit(Cust career average) .239 AVG, .382 OBP, and .475 SLG, then your team would score 6.12 runs per game-totalling to 991runs a season.The 08 rangers lead the majors in runs score with 901.

Reading HH will lower your IQ by at least 10%, although the effect is temporary.

Wait, how long has it been since the Phillies last played a game?
about a month?
So the Yankees have been losing games on purpose, to get an advantage!
cunning like a fox
Doesn't the World Series start at the same time?
I blame the Phillies for not wanting to play more baseball with the Doyers.

but the Yankees are everything that is wrong and unfair about baseball in my opinion
Even my wife says, "The fix is in"

And on a completely unrelated note,
MLB will make more money if the Yankees go to the World Series instead of the Angels.

The Raiders should keep the tarp, sell out more games, and the A’s can play without the tarp.

Yeah, based on recent events,
the Raiders should probably keep the tarp. Have they sold out one home game this year?
