Mystique clearly wears Yankee panties. Aura sleeps with a Derek Jeter plushie. Joe Torre must have saved an orphanage or two in a past life because, man, wow.

Also, I cannot believe that MLB.com is selling theseAnd it further looks like I'll start hitting the bottle next Tuesday at 7PM EST or something, right? And praying that Mystique and ( Read more... )

*is helplessly, helplessly, helplessly in loveI mean, yes. I know what the broken hand does to Yankee postseason. I've developed a healthy hatred for Torii Hunter, and the hots that I have for Joe Nathan are on permanent hold until we whup the living snot out of the Twins for the next two games. My stomach is already churning for tonight, but oh ( Read more... )

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Flavor Country.
-- Jay Jaffe at Futility InfielderDerek Jeter, man. Tanyon Sturtze bringing the total clutch for eight outs before giving his first run in 10 and 2/3ds innings up to Torii Hunter. Sheff with the wiggle, Miggy Cairo, OBP machine, and A-Rod more or less making his post-season mystique and aura bones ( Read more... )

My crush on Will Leitch is absolutely ridiculous at this point. Yes, I disagree with his predictions. Yes, my beloved highandinside painted her nails Yankee blue today in preparation for Santana-whippin' tomorrow. Yes, I sleep with a Yankees hat on my face and have a Bubba Crosby shirt coming in the mail, and so yes, really, I have to disagree with his ( Read more... )

I don't know how many of you guys out there follow Bsaeball Primer, but there's an absolutely hysterical thread on religious athletes that makes up-front and center mention of Morgan Ensberg. I haven't tracked down the actual article, but oh man, the shits and giggles and nerdiness:

So I wouldn't be suprised if my suitemate thinks that I'm in love with some boy named Bobby -- she came into the room today and thought I was watching porn for a moment because I was staring at the computer screen with this total and utter fixity. Even now, I can see her going down the class lists now figuring whether Bobby might be a short name ( Read more... )

So the Yankees and the A's both got spanked and spanked fairly hard today, but today wasn't totally irredeemable on a baseball front: on the A's radio broadcast, Bill King started talking about how much he loathes the ThunderStix they have at Anaheim. It was sometime in the first inning, and he started off commenting on how loud it was in the ( Read more... )

Two things, both of them having to do with baseball players really hitting the big leagues for the first time:

• Thanks to Bronx Banter: Yankee rookies on haze day. Special freak Yankee fan points if you can pick Crosby out of the three; extra-special points if you can ID all three. Answer here.
  
  
• And in at least somewhat more serious news, Greg ( Read more... )

All right. So I called highandinside this afternoon after Dotel gave up that double to put the Rangers on 5-4. I punched her number on the contacts list, waited through the rings, and when she picked up, I said her name and then stopped for a moment because I really just did not have words ( Read more... )

David: Maybe I've been duped by living in Connecticut the past five years, but Red Sox-Yankees inspires a whole new level of intensity, hate and contempt. Giants-Dodgers is like seeing your wife get a peck on the cheek from your boss at the company Christmas party; Yankees-Red Sox is coming home early from work and seeing the mailman's truck in ( Read more... )
