Joba Chamberlain Deserves To Be Murdered

jobasucks

 

Let me start by saying I hate writing blogs on Friday Nights.  But I’m fucking pissed.  And it’s not because the Red Sox lost.    It’s because of that cunt Joba Chamberlain and his bush league, Indian reservation bullshit.   Can I ask a dumb question?   Why does Joba Chamberlain get to throw at Kevin Youkilis’s head every fucking time we play the Yankees and nobody says a peep?    It’s fucking nuts! You think this pussy would do this if he had to grab a bat? Fuck no! Apparently MLB won’t be happy until he kills him.   Seriously is that what it’s going to take for somebody to put a stop to this madness?   Listen enough is enough.   If the umps are just going to sit there with their dick in their hands while that fat fuck keeps throwing at Youk then we need to take matters into our own hands.    It’s time to try and paralyze Derek Jeter.  I want fastballs at Jeter’s head until we knock his fucking teeth out.  If the Yankees want to play this game we’ll play it.    You want to throw at us? We’ll throw at your precious little captain until we cripple him and put him in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.  How does that sound?

I hope Joba gets into an accident tonight and ends up like his father.

nhsox84, Jul 25 2008, 10:25 pm

Sounds great! The only problem is that Joba has pin-point accuracy...red sucks pitchers, not so much.

tyrollean9, Jul 25 2008, 10:26 pm

give me a break. sox have been hitting yankee hitters for fucking years. pedro, arroyo, beckett...all did that shit multiple times without any of our pitchers retaliating at all and no one said shit. now you get all indignant when we actually start evening it up? you really are an ignorant mother fucker, you whiney little bitch

brooknam, Jul 25 2008, 10:30 pm

out of the woodwork pops the Yankees "fans" to troll the Boston forum - sad little creatures they are.

fitzy, Jul 25 2008, 10:31 pm

Oh and Pres since you asked in another thread BDD is Boston Dirt Dogs which I'm sure you're familiar with.
http://www.bostondirtdogs.com/

fitzy, Jul 25 2008, 10:33 pm

fitzy,

I figured it out after. Don't read it but I obviously know what it is

elpresidente, Jul 25 2008, 10:34 pm

yep FITZY you got it...and how sad does it make you when all you can do is reach back for that same tired comeback by sox fans on this site, made time after time when any yankee fan says anything, regardless of what the conversation is about. extremely original.

brooknam, Jul 25 2008, 10:34 pm

For years I felt the same way about Pedro...ditto Curt. I've never been madder at a professional athlete than I was when Pedro threw down Zimmer. I'm far over it now, but at the time that little skinny faggot couldn't have been more despised. Now, you fucking cuntbags are bitching because someone else is finally throwing at your hitters too. Double standards are nice, aren't they?

Iconoclast, Jul 25 2008, 10:41 pm

Is Joba the Hut an illegal alien?

Shamrock1957, Jul 25 2008, 10:41 pm

brooknam - Not sure what "same tired comeback" you speak of. I don't even know fitzy from a hole in the wall, so I'm not defending him, but what the fuck are you talking about? The Yankees won a game in July, congrats. Let me know when it happens in October.

jmljr, Jul 25 2008, 10:42 pm

Hmm I really wonder why you keep hearing it time after time Brooknam? Maybe eventually it will sink into your thick guido skull.

fitzy, Jul 25 2008, 10:43 pm

Listen up, pussies. Quit you're fucking whining and get your manager and your pitching staff to do something about it. Or maybe that fuckwad, meathead Youk should charge instead of making his case to the ump in between innings (yes, he did the same thing a few weeks back). Face it, Joba OWNED the Sox tonight, Yanks are closing the gap quickly, they stole Nady and Marte, and Phil Hughes makes a rehab start on Tuesday.

And don't get me going on Pavano... well, I can't even go that far...

Papelblown, Jul 25 2008, 10:44 pm

wbil, Jul 25 2008, 10:47 pm

I wouldn't say "stole" Nady and Marte...the Yanks gave up quite a bit in return. Tabata is their 2nd or 3rd best prospect (if you count Phil Hughes as a prospect still). I saw Kontos pitch for Staten Island back in the '06 New York-Penn League Championship and he was fucking NASTY. Granted, he's only in long A now, but still...he's far from just a throw in.

Iconoclast, Jul 25 2008, 10:47 pm

Ooops, I misspoke. Looks like Kontos is already up to AA. http://thebaseballcube.com/players/K/George-Kontos.shtml

Iconoclast, Jul 25 2008, 10:48 pm

Good luck with your agenda, ep - heard Francona wouldn't even sit behind Girardi's desk during all-star game, he changed clothes on the couch. Then he gave jeter and arod special exits, and rivera the nod over paps. He's got too much 'love & respect' for the mighty yanks, he won't retaliate. I agree he should, but he won't. Francona is now the new Torre, the manager that won't bite back in ther Sox-Yanks rivalry.

Bone Thugs, Jul 25 2008, 10:49 pm

yankees suck has to go tho like a virgin works because arod is a championship virgin.Aside from that only saw last 2 abs(working and driving home).Radio said ump sucked and what i saw I agree.Can anyone enlighten me as to if it was both ways,or was he on the yankee payroll. still tho drew has to protect knowing after lowells rant anythoing close was going to be strike 3

wbil, Jul 25 2008, 10:50 pm

it tells you something that it's happened 3 times now and there's been no retaliation. but it was cool all those years the redsox were bouncing balls off jeter's hands and throwing at arod, but now the yankees have a manager with some balls, whose not afraid to retaliate and it put an end to that shit. and if youkilis had any balls he would have left the batter's box by now instead of whining to anyone who would listen.

phil laeshio, Jul 25 2008, 10:51 pm

Bone Thugs, Francona won two world series with the Red Sox while Torre was the manager of the Yankees.

I'm pretty sure you have no idea what you're talking about.

CptKangarooBalls, Jul 25 2008, 10:54 pm

Sorry, but it's all on Youk. Go do something about it! Grow a f*cking pair! No one's going to defend you, you're a tool...Go f*cking take him out then!

Damus, Jul 25 2008, 10:55 pm

I'm with you lets bean these fucks. Time for Youk to chase this pussy down and beat his ass.

topher, Jul 25 2008, 10:56 pm

I love how Beckett ran to aid his beloved boyfriend Youk...anyone else catch that after the foul ball.

tyrollean9, Jul 25 2008, 10:57 pm

The ump was awful on both sides,but the 8th and 9th inning were rediculous. The last pitch to Ellsbury, the 2nd and 3rd strike to Drew and the called 3rd strike to Lowell wasn't even close. The ump sucked ass. And I would throw at Giambi's head every single at bat.

JayTJay, Jul 25 2008, 10:58 pm

Let me just say - no reason for the throw at Youk ....

And even given the history - Pedro plunking, etc - there is no excuse for this.

Also - I'm a Yankee fan - and I thought that Lowell had a legitimate beef . ....

yankeefan, Jul 25 2008, 10:58 pm

I predict a big fight sunday. It will either give a spark to the sox, or the Yankers....we'll see who wins the fight.

JayTJay, Jul 25 2008, 11:00 pm

You Sox fans are all babies with short memories. What, you can't throw high and inside? This shit happens all the time. It is part of baseball. F'in Pedro was the biggest culprit of all. Jeter has been knocked down repeatedly. Stop the whining.

alpha1847, Jul 25 2008, 11:02 pm

Going to the game tomorrow but it sucks because Wakefield is pitching tomorrow and you can't intimidate anyone with a 70mph heater.

fitzy, Jul 25 2008, 11:02 pm

thanks for the update kangaroodouche

Bone Thugs, Jul 25 2008, 11:08 pm

You're welcome Bone

CptKangarooBalls, Jul 25 2008, 11:11 pm

I'm pretty sure that the Red Sox have been throwing at Jeter his entire career. I mean up until this point I would say the hit batters are in the Red Sox favor.

stanz, Jul 25 2008, 11:19 pm

fuck the yankees, someone needs to throw hard at that shitty home plate ump.

DoctorBenway, Jul 25 2008, 11:25 pm

WAAHHHHHHHHH WAHHHHHHHHHH STOP THOSE BIG MEANIE YANKEES FROM PICKING ON US! WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

ktabz, Jul 25 2008, 11:31 pm

im a yankees fan but also a fan of the great site mostly for the hot chicks and funny vids, but i do like to keep up on the enemy as well. with that id like to say fuck the red sox fuck boston the last good thing out of that shit hole was the the fuck tea party !!

bostonIS4FAGS, Jul 25 2008, 11:34 pm

You ignorant fucking yankees fans. It's not the fact he is throwing at him, but rather his head. You don't do that in baseball. With his "pinpoint" accuracy, he should be able to hit him in the back, no problem, the way it is supposed to be done. Everyone knows it is part of the game, but you do not fuck around with someone's head. Joba is a little bitch and can't move on so he has to keep trying, dumbass doesn't even know when to throw at people anyways. So please, shut the fuck up you ignorant people.

khann0n, Jul 25 2008, 11:34 pm

At the game in the bleachers... Most disgusting display of fandom I have ever seen in my entire life. Maybe 5 of us cheering and trying to get people cheering. I honestly think we would have more red sox chants if we were at yankee stadium, and that is whatI blame for the loss. There was absolutely no support for our team. I would write more and be much more thorough but I need to drink away my worries. Video to come of how dull it was.

Baskee, Jul 25 2008, 11:35 pm

TIME TO CALL THE WAHHHMBULANCE.

ktabz, Jul 25 2008, 11:35 pm

Man you MFY fans are fucking idiots, Jeter gets hit by every team because he dives over the plate.

There is a slight difference between getting hit in the hands on a pitch practically over the plate and throwing at someones fucking head on 3 separate occassions.

Then again I don't really want to see the Sox hurt Jeter since his .280 BA with no power and shitty D isn't exactly carrying the team.

j44thor, Jul 25 2008, 11:37 pm

Kevin Youkdadick is a little dirty bitch pussy motha fucker.

tyrollean9, Jul 25 2008, 11:47 pm

Bottom of the 7th, 1-0 nothing game, 2-0 count...

In my short time posting, I have been an objective Yankee supporter. I like Ellsbury, Tek, Pedroia and a few others.

But are you people fucking on acid? Who the fuck would throw at ANYONE, nevermind the biggest douche in the American League, in a situation like that? Nobody. Joba had his way ALL NIGHT with Youk and there is NO WAY he risks putting the tying run on with the lead run then being Lowell.

Joba has had (correct me if I am in error) EIGHT no decisions. There is no way he was giving up a chance to win this game and no way he was going to put guys on and give the bullpen a chance to fix it.

Listen I TOTALLY think he was throwing at Youk the two other times. But this is ridiculous.

And not for anything, the Drew pitch and the Lowell pitch were the same fucking pitch. It looked worse cause Lowell leaned over the plate and stood straight up. Anyone who thinks that "Strike Box" or whatever its called on NESN is accurate for either team is not well.

GL tomorrow.

BuckyBoone, Jul 25 2008, 11:51 pm

hey ktabz,

do you have any material that Artie Lange hasn't already done yet?

boneyard213, Jul 25 2008, 11:54 pm

Seriously...murder? Paralysis? Wt mother f? On Both sides... Its an effing game. Joba, Youk, Jeter are all going to bed tonight without a clue any of you (or I) exist. Don't get so worked up on BS.

macfunden, Jul 25 2008, 11:54 pm

"You want to throw at us? We’ll throw at your precious little captain until we cripple him and put him in a wheelchair for the rest of his life."

Did you start watching the Sox after the series win last year? Boston pitchers have been plunking Jeter for years.

jman22, Jul 26 2008, 12:00 am

The bigger issue is the stupid shift. I cringe every time I see Francona do that against Giambi. He is a .250 hitter who either is going to hit a homer or strikeout. I hate the shift in general but especially aginst him. Shade the SS up the middle if you want but leave him on the SS side of the bag. It would have been a routine out.

Phil Plantier, Jul 26 2008, 12:02 am

tell us how you really feel

jay1243, Jul 26 2008, 12:06 am

Joba the Slut needs someone on his team to get drilled many times in a row. Just start drilling Damon or Arod. Those guys are such me guys that no one on the Yankees would care. I vote for Abreu. Every time he comes up, put one in his ribs.

Phil Plantier, Jul 26 2008, 12:07 am

if youkilis had any balls he would have left the batter's box by now instead of whining to anyone who would listen.

— phil laeshio

I do agree with this. After the third time you have to charge the mound.

Phil Plantier, Jul 26 2008, 12:09 am

El Pres,

How many times have you and Heath Ledger go hit up in the back?

tyrollean9, Jul 26 2008, 12:10 am

Hi! Just got back from the Bahamas. Now...hahhahaaaaaa at Masshole Nimrod pink hat nation whining about their own meds. The Sox have been beaning Yanks no stop since before your 2 chumpionships in 90 years. Ortiz SHOULD of been plunked in '04 a few times over but Torre played class ball with a bunch of classless wanna be tough guys.

"It's not over." - Pappelbum

No, it's not and wanna be tough guy Yook got what he got. He is lucky Joba actually can throw with accuracy. Trying to pop hard ever since he was bitch slapped by his own team mate. Give me a fucking break. Your tool heroes have been running their mouths and crowding the plate way to long. Sit the fuck down.

Oh and Nimrod Nation, I thought we were dead.

BrokeAngryBlack, Jul 26 2008, 12:14 am

whether a red sox fan or a yankee fan, i think one thing we can all agree on...tyrollean needs to get a life and stop posting. 4 of the least funny comments ive read in weeks. keep it up man, each one is an improvement. i look forward to a witty, original, or funny comment, it will be your first. douche.

brock landers, Jul 26 2008, 12:24 am

does this mean the sox will start throwing at jeter and/or Arod?
like you haven't been doing that the last 8 years. cry me a river. sox have been throwing at the Yanks forever. welcome to the new Girardi led Yanks.

You remember when I said yanks would win 2 out of 3? well, this is the game I thought the sox would win. prepare to get swept.
Joba owned the sox. it was almost like watching a young Clemens.

SKC, Jul 26 2008, 12:30 am

what the fuck are you talking about? son of ocho seis
That is one of the most fucked up statements I have ever heard.

sorry dude, i think son of ocho-seis is the leader in the clubhouse when it comes to people who need to stop posting and just commit seppuku once and for all...and that's a best-case scenario for him. at least that way his death would be honorable, unlike the comments he's posted on here.

johnperson, Jul 26 2008, 1:03 am

been pondering this all night how not being racist but for christ sakes when people gunna stand up against all this injun nonsense. new york is bastion of n$%ger loving creeps and midgets that support this sort of nonsense. Lets face it the only reason jobas the redskin is the major leagues is cause liberal lefties came up with affirmative acction to get him in.

— son of ocho-seis, Jul 26 2008, 12:50 am

jeez. i think you just need a little interracial lovin up your cornhole.

johnperson, Jul 26 2008, 1:06 am

glad we can all agree, son of ocho-seis is the most ignorant, idiot fuck-wad mother fucker to ever post on this site.

Dude, if you're legit serious with those views, I hope you ain't fucking breeding, cause the gene police got 5 words: YOU, OUT OF THE POOL!

26to7, Jul 26 2008, 1:10 am

dear son of ocho-seis,

*ziiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiip*

sucky, sucky you stupid bitch.

sincerly,
your girlfriend's personal "trainer"

SKC, Jul 26 2008, 1:12 am

handjoba chambeberlain is a fucking bitch

boston3, Jul 26 2008, 1:14 am

It's up to Youk at this point. He needs to sprint to the mound and take care of it himself. He just looks like a pussy at this point. I'd keep throwing at him too if there were no repercussions.

Soog, Jul 26 2008, 1:18 am

alright dude, we get it. You're obviously an anti-boston fan playing up the whole racist thing as some counter-intelligence bullshit. pretty fucking lame.

seems that joba just throws like a mofo and everytime it gets outta control youklis is up. it just never seems like intentional shit. fucked up coincidences, but not intentional.

26to7, Jul 26 2008, 1:26 am

i see that you made a quick visit over to wikipedia. still, it is a rather enticing offer; you should probably consider it. you would die with a shred of human decency and respect instead of living and directing hate and vitriol to those who don't support your pointless views. insinuating that everybody who hates you is a "n*gger lovin uncle tom" who "supports the yankees, blacks, and obama" is pretty imprudent. i hate anybody who has no common sense or self-awareness...but i guess that pretty much limits that to you and saddam hussein. well, at least you have a new 'ethnic' friend! let's see if you can redeem yourself with your next ill-conceived comment.

johnperson, Jul 26 2008, 1:29 am

Mr son of ocho seis

Are you for real? If you do not like these people you can always watch Bunker reruns. What planet are you from? I am surprised that you have a computer, never mind the fact that you have some skills. Now why don't you shut the computer off, put your white robe on and go burn a cross.

coddahh, Jul 26 2008, 1:31 am

— coddahh, Jul 26 2008, 1:31 am

that's not a cross. remember? he's not a racist. it's probably just a lower case t. 't' for tolerance. 't' for team. because we're all on a team.

johnperson, Jul 26 2008, 1:34 am

wow, good thing son of ocho-seis decided to post. at least yankee and red sox fans can agree that hes a complete faggot.

but on topic, if youk ever charged the yankees would dominate the sox entire team. Now that we got sexon to join the likes of guys like farnsworth it wouldnt be much of a contest.

ak47, Jul 26 2008, 1:40 am

comin from a terrorist ak47 a real genuine homo himself guys a part of nambla and hes tryna bash me

son of ocho-seis, Jul 26 2008, 1:44 am

I think we should test Joba's pin point controll. All we need is a volunter. Anybody... just want to see how close he can pitch to your head. You can borrow my helmut. Anyone.... Ocho seis you busy?

coddahh, Jul 26 2008, 1:51 am

ok, let's hear it. if it isn't idiot lenders like countrywide offering loans to people who can't afford them, as well as these idiot people deciding to buy $500,000 dollar homes with an ARM, or us not drilling for oil to temporarily get out of the clutches of OPEC's monopoly while looking for a more feasible and renewable source of fuel, or the fact that we're over-printing our money which devalues our currency, and thus makes what we buy (including oil) much more expensive because our currency is the world reserve currency since no form of money is fully backed by gold or silver, then what is it? there are many, many problems going on that need solid solutions. this isn't trivial bullshit.

johnperson, Jul 26 2008, 2:06 am

brock landers--

if you disagree with someone for being a yankee fan or whatever that's one thing, attack away. but the fact that you practically fucking graded tyrollean's shit is beyond hilarious. even worse, you counted up how many posts they made before you did it!!! Baskee-- the crowd sucked tonight because all the "real" fans like brock here were too busy waiting by their computers to count up everyone else's posts and then police the shit out of them. fucking moron

IDidJessBielInDaBULibrary, Jul 26 2008, 2:14 am

the clans wrong and secondly john im educated so if you want to have a serious discussion as to why minorities are bringing down this country then man up stop with your samurai and dated references and talk to me like a man you yankee.

— son of ocho-seis, Jul 26 2008, 1:36 am

could you go into more detail about what you consider educated? i'm just curious, because you're showing a complete lack of any kind of formal education.

tajory017, Jul 26 2008, 2:19 am

What the fuck is going on here? Yanks fasns all of a suddden have something to say? Lets get Suzy Waldman on here to stroke us all off. The Yanks got a gift run tonight because of the GAY shift. They won, so be it. Beckett needs to come out in the 7th and throw one pitch to the head of whomever was up. All you fucking Yankees fans can go blog on Mike Lupica;s blog. Stay the fuck off the stool. EL Pres is the man. Manzo is the man. Yanks fans can eat a dick when they, once again, get bounced in the first round of the playoffs. Don't make Manny Slap a bitch.

Bullins23, Jul 26 2008, 2:31 am

hey queers, don't hate that joba continues to dominate youkilis, not only by throwing at his head but also by striking him out, it's just a shame that the red sox are too big of pussies to ever respond...beckett knew that if he ran out he was going to get leveled by giambi

yankeesdv08, Jul 26 2008, 2:43 am

i read through a few and ill comment on what i remember at 335 am, i dont remember in history one pitcher throwing so many times at one batter, and yes back in the day they had class how they threw at batters... now they just throw 90+ at heads... didn't they all see that minor league base coach who died because of a baseball to the head... is it really going to take a death of a player by a pitcher to stop this nonsense?

i feel its cheap because the most joba can do is kill youk with a fast one square in the head. the most youk can do is get a couple good punches because the brawl happens. who has the advantage?

and if your going to throw at a red sox why not throw at pedrioa. hes the one whos tearing it up. i mean pick wisely. is it because youk isn't that likable.

it is funny seeing the yanks fans come out tho im getting a chuckle and the red sox fans are getting so angry its quite funny. the reason fenway had no support because most people dont care about the game, they go because its the thing to do. ill say it. the stadium is probably 50% girls. (no offense die hard female sport fans) but lets be serious, most girls only wana go because its a story for them and they have to be there cuz everybodys doing it. so dudes try to get some pussy by asking girls to go.

finally, all the drama in tonights game really hide the whole manny thing... he scratched out before game and had two mri's on both knees and nothing was found. i will be interested to watch how this plays out.

btw im an indians fan / new brewer fan because i do where cc goes. sorry beckett. not only do i have a cy, but i have an amazing floor in my basement that was shown on cribs.


lastly, celtics are the last best thing to happen to boston

Noblegreen, Jul 26 2008, 3:41 am

Yeah, he was throwing at the leadoff batter with a one-run lead. Makes so much sense.

Maybe Youk should stop diving. Same argument we all heard for years about Jeter and Soriano when Pedro plunked them on the hands every game.

Or maybe instead of making a sad face, Youkilis can grow a pair and charge the mound and take his ejection like a man instead of crying about someone throwing inside.

Or, just keep waiving at sliders away after getting knocked down. Either way.

rsjem23, Jul 26 2008, 3:48 am

hey queers, don't hate that joba continues to dominate youkilis, not only by throwing at his head but also by striking him out, it's just a shame that the red sox are too big of pussies to ever respond...beckett knew that if he ran out he was going to get leveled by giambi

— yankeesdv08, Jul 26 2008, 2:43 am

well first of all, i'm comforted knowing i'm not the only one awake and reading the stool at this time.

as far as the red sox being pussies... i'm pretty sure we weren't pussies when we came back from a 3-0 deficit in the playoffs to not only dominate the yankees, but to sweep the cards in the world series. just saying.

personally, i don't like it when red sox fans/yankees fans say the other team sucks because we all know that's not true. but i certainly wouldn't say that joba dominated youk by throwing at his head. that's kind of a bitch move.

and seriously.. giambi? was gonna level beckett? doubtful.

tajory017, Jul 26 2008, 3:59 am

— Noblegreen, Jul 26 2008, 3:41 am

not a fan of that comment... i "won" the right to buy tickets through redsox.com and waited at least 8 hours in the waiting room to buy tickets to this series. i know you said no offense, but i've been to plenty of games where guys are only there to get drunk and be obnoxious. it goes both ways.

tajory017, Jul 26 2008, 4:05 am

I am in DC for the weekend and wasn't able to see the game. Anyone have any links of joba throwing at youk? I wanna see exactly what happened.

devno10, Jul 26 2008, 4:58 am

I haven't read any of the comments on here so this may have been mentioned. I saw what happened this time but was unaware that Joba had hit Youk before. My point is that if this has happened many times before and Youk wants to stop being hit, maybe he needs to man up and charge. Nothing says stop throwing at me like a good ass whipping, or maybe like all the other Red Sox he is a big pussy and will continue to get beaned because he won't stand up for himself. Just a drunk observation.

mde007, Jul 26 2008, 5:41 am

Hey Pres
No doubt there's a past with Joba and Youkilis but if you think last night was intentional you're ignorant. Your suggested retaliations are real mature-yes we all Know A-Rod or Jeter will get plunked and fairly so but paralyzation and death-relax guy. I think your just a little too emotionally attached to watching grown men play a game. Take a deep breath, rub one out, let it go and try to enjoy the great playoff-like atmosphere these teams usually give us.
To finish the only possible reason reason I can come up with why Joba dislikes Youkilis is because the guy just looks like a douchebag. Look at him-squirrel hanging out of his mouth, always pissed off, expects to hit 5 run hr's every AB. I bet he's a real joy to hang out with.

jdm607, Jul 26 2008, 7:32 am

Sounds like someone had too much to drink tonight.... Who cares Youk is a bum, and if there ever was a bench clearing brawl everyone on both teams would try to beat Youk up.. Keep it up Joba.....Fuck the Sox, Fuck Beckett, Yanks Won, Youk is still a pussy.... If hes so concerned with getting hit with the ball, then charge the fuckin mound... The best part about that was he got thrown at, and then struck out, good stuff

mitch6913, Jul 26 2008, 7:34 am

son of ocho-seis

You stupid mother fucker.

The Red Sox don't have any minorities?
Isn't Jacoby Native American as well? You can be educated and still be a moron, you're proof of that.

TheViking, Jul 26 2008, 7:41 am

ElPres how the fuck is this scumbag not banned?

TheViking, Jul 26 2008, 7:43 am

Look - This is very easy to understand. It is a basic law of nature that ugly people must have things thrown at them. Youk easily is the ugliest guy in the MLB, if not the entire northeast. He should be happy that Joba isn't throwing bats, bases, or concrete block at him.

Eagle 1, Jul 26 2008, 7:49 am

Ocho,
Anybody who starts a sentence with "I reckon" should be shot in the face.

Jesus Quintana, Jul 26 2008, 8:10 am

Enough talk - why aren't the Red Sox doing anything about it? This team has no leader - Tek is totally lost, Manny is being an asshole(again), JD Drew says nothing, and Francona is too busy kissing all the players ass. Youk should have let go of his bat during his next swing and just said it slipped out of his hands - Joba would've got the message. Yanks are a better team right now and just got better after trade last night...I hate to say it.

bridurk, Jul 26 2008, 8:24 am

Sawx fans are MAD...haha.

Trip McNealy, Jul 26 2008, 8:27 am

handjoba chambeberlain is a fucking bitch

— boston3, Jul 26 2008, 1:14 am

A bitch. Really? I didn't see him going anywhere or pleading his case to anyone. That tough guy Youk knows where to find him---take it to the mound. And really, you Sox fans should be complaining about Manny who sat out with on of his infamous "injuries" when you could have used your best bat in a one-run game. Just saying...

Papelblown, Jul 26 2008, 8:40 am

Seriously, where was Manny pinch hitting late in the game? His knee can't hurt that much (or at all). And someone tell Lowell that major leaguers don't jump up and down like little leaguers when they strike out, bad call or not. And that Amica Strike Zone is probably the least accurate of all the TV strike zones I've seen. The ump was bad, but he called that same pitch all night, hitters have to adjust.

EnronCFO, Jul 26 2008, 8:50 am

Fuck all of you bitching about Lowell getting pissed. He had two shitty ass strike 3 calls, in a big game. He never blows up like that, and deserves to be allowed to act anyway he wants when he is 100% right. The fucking pitch was as high as his neck, and 2 feet inside.

True story

lugnutz, Jul 26 2008, 9:00 am

Actually lugnutz, if I recall correctly, when shown from the side, the pitch crossed the lower part of the letters on his jersey, which I think is considered a high strike. Inside, sure, based on the Amica thing, but not the Ump's strike zone last night. He called that pitch on both teams all night.

EnronCFO, Jul 26 2008, 9:32 am

Joba is a fucktard loser. Just like non-Boston sports fans who come to a Boston sports blog to post. It's bad enough that we're here....go get LIVES.

That pitch to Lowell was 8 inches inside. Marty Foster sucks at his job and most probably his entire life.

HCCane, Jul 26 2008, 9:58 am

EnronCFO, not that pitch, some inside were close and forgivable, but that was redunkuless.

lugnutz, Jul 26 2008, 10:01 am

As a Yankee fan, I'd like to disown Tone516NYY for the Greek kike comment. Uncalled for and I believe completely inaccurate.

So, when is Tony!Toni!Tone! getting back together, anyway?

EnronCFO, Jul 26 2008, 10:51 am

Balls<<<<<<brains he will cost them many games with his stupid shit. 1-0 game, no outs, on the road, dumbass move.

True story

lugnutz, Jul 26 2008, 10:51 am

Actually, I think Manny looking at three straight strikes down the middle of the plate late in a game in NY and then refusing to suit up when NY comes to town will cost Boston more games than Joba throwing at/behind Youkilis will cost NY.

EnronCFO, Jul 26 2008, 11:00 am

while I admit Manny has an iffy past with this type of shit, lets not discount the fact that he has played hurt this season, and is getting a bit long in tooth. He just might not be able to go. The line up survived Ortiz being out with little drop off, it can take manny being out as well. Joba just pitched a great game. Beckett as well.

lugnutz, Jul 26 2008, 11:05 am

Eagle 1,

Perfect.

Soog,

Agreed.

Damus, Jul 26 2008, 11:24 am

The problem with all of this is the suspension imbalance. Youk needs to go out there but 5 games for a gold glove first baseman and one of your best hitters is a lot more than an extra day of rest for a starter.

Beckett should have come out and plunked Abreywho in the ear with the first pitch. He was done for the night anyway.

MACKREILLY, Jul 26 2008, 11:50 am

Look - This is very easy to understand. It is a basic law of nature that ugly people must have things thrown at them. Youk easily is the ugliest guy in the MLB, if not the entire northeast. He should be happy that Joba isn't throwing bats, bases, or concrete block at him.

Gomer Chamberlain isn't winning any male modeling contracts anytime soon. He's a friggin mongoloid.

HCCane, Jul 26 2008, 11:50 am

Yankees fans prove once again they are the most ignorant fans in sports. YOU DON'T THROW AT PEOPLE'S HEADS! Is it really that hard to understand? There has to be some retaliation because this is getting absolutely ridiculous. Time to dust the SS that dives out over the plate for every pitch.

TKQuann, Jul 26 2008, 11:53 am

Viking,

Obviously I would have tried to ban that moron the second he showed up. Our system isn't set up that great to ban. We've put in the request to get him removed. But I wasn't on the blog at 1am when he showed up

elpresidente, Jul 26 2008, 11:58 am

I LOVE JOBA..... Did you see how Manny took himself out of the game because he knew he was a target?

I just wish he'd hit Remy in the head and kill that stupid toad.

jdpinstripes, Jul 26 2008, 12:00 pm

Joba - Makes Pink Hats Angry - APPROVE!

jdpinstripes, Jul 26 2008, 12:08 pm

So its ok for Redsox pitchers to throw at Jeter but not ok if the Joba throws at Youk?

Makes sense...Don't get mad because you got owned.

czar44, Jul 26 2008, 12:16 pm

I wish they'd throw at A-Rod. Nothing makes me happier than seeing that pansy's pussy face. Both teams are filled with faggots. That's why the Rays will win the division.

jdpinstripes, Jul 26 2008, 12:20 pm

Throwing at a player is part of the game, throwing at their head, is just wrong.

true story

lugnutz, Jul 26 2008, 12:20 pm

Would you like a whaburger with a side of french cries?

Paul ONeill, Jul 26 2008, 12:35 pm

Remember that if Jeter is out for the rest of the way after getting a Lester fastball in the head. Joba's stupid move will not seem so cool after that.


These things never end well.

lugnutz, Jul 26 2008, 12:41 pm

Holy Shit, Erin Andrews is not only super hot, she's also one lovely lady! there were a lot of cans out at Fenway before the game but hers were by far the best!

Bolski, Jul 26 2008, 12:51 pm

Paul O'neil calling people whiners.

Ironic to say the least.

vice versa, Jul 26 2008, 1:11 pm

The real Paul O'Neil would have charged the mound 2 or 3 times by now if he was in Youk's place. There's no excuse for Youk not charging the mound or a Sox pitcher not retaliating. Someone on the Sox needs to step up if you want to be taken seriously in this.

EnronCFO, Jul 26 2008, 1:25 pm

I can't wait for Wakefield to throw his 32mph fastball in A-Rod's ribs today. Just like Piazza, Youkilis is a pussy who is afraid to take matters into his own hands.

Chocolate Thunder, Jul 26 2008, 1:26 pm

I don't think they will hit Grod, nobody on the Yankees would care. Giambi, Damon, or Jeter. IMO

lugnutz, Jul 26 2008, 1:58 pm

Its pretty fuckin stupid to think it wasnt intentional.
I heard Remy "9 career HR's" adamently insist it wasnt on purpose. "It makes no sense in a one run game". Blah Cough Blah Blah Cough Wally Cough .
Well it didnt make any sense that the japs were going to bomb Pearl Harbor on a sunday morning at 6 AM.. but it fucking happened.
What a bunch of dumb baseball fans you are.

TheKiecker, Jul 26 2008, 2:08 pm

I hate youk and the ""saaaaawx" as much as the next guy but it makes me laugh to see all the internet tuff-guys accusing Youk of being a pussy because he didn't charge the mound. it's fucking stupid for a player to charge the mound. you retaliate some other less obvious way until an idiot losses it, a bench clearing brawl ensues, and a couple of players get suspensions. rinse and repeat.

seriously, any of you internet tuff-guys had a 95 mph fastball heading for your head you would duck out of the way (if your lucky) and then be standing there in a puddle of your own urine.

SKC, Jul 26 2008, 2:15 pm

Yanks are shaking... hopefully Ardesma doesn't bring the heat again like he did early in the season.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ziSGrFvYh8

This shit is cyclical, so shut up and hit someone. And the umps need to stop warning both benches in the first instance. Sox shouldn't have received a warning on that last night---Dumb. Agree that you should throw at a guy's head, but maybe it only happens because Youk bounces around in the batter's box like a 5 year-old kid who has watched to much Japanimation and broke into some kind of seizure.

Papelblown, Jul 26 2008, 2:30 pm

First off, i'm a guy from San Diego. My most hated teams are the Broncos (donkeys) and the Dodgers. I've never even looked at or googled one of their websites, fan blogs, etc. Why the fuck do Yankee fans come to this site? If you are such a die hard yankee fan, why would you promote a site that represents your greatest rivals? I don't get it and i think EP should torpedo these so-called Yank-me "fans" from the comments section.

WESTCOAST, Jul 26 2008, 2:41 pm

I did not read all 114 comments...but am I the only one who agreed with Remy? I know Joba has thrown at Youk a few times in the past, but I don't think it was intentional last night. One run game, 7th inning, 2-0 count? If he was doing this on purpose then he doesn't understand the game and I'm sure Girardi was on his ass about it later.

BA BARRACUS, Jul 26 2008, 2:59 pm

Anyone see Beckett in the dugout after? He looked PISSED. I bet if he went back out after that someone was getting one up and in.

Gameover58, Jul 26 2008, 3:08 pm

Ahh BA Retardus,
Thats the point..

TheKiecker, Jul 26 2008, 3:15 pm

Shut it down El Pres, you sound more and more like a 'ya-dude' homer every day. What an ignorant, horrible piece of writing. Embarrassing.

bos1, Jul 26 2008, 3:43 pm

Retardus?

I'll take the pepsi challenge against TheKiecker any old day.

BA BARRACUS, Jul 26 2008, 5:17 pm

The options are:

A)Youk can go out there and do something abouit it
B)The pitcher can go out there and retaliate
C)They can act like Joba's bitch.

The Sox select C apparently.

dhamz, Jul 26 2008, 7:14 pm

"indian reservation bullshit"???? and you have the balls to call imus a racist? holy freakin hypocrite. you're lucky there version of reverend al is at the casino all hopped up on fire water for the weekend.

whiskey tango, Jul 27 2008, 12:49 am

After your boy Youklis came in spikes high at the plate a couple of weeks ago, if I am Joba I throw at his chin every at bat. Ha, looks like he is. You cant retaliate b/c Joba doesnt step in the batters box. I dont like either team, but Youklis is paying for an asshole move and looks like he is not paid up yet!

vu81, Jul 27 2008, 10:49 am

No disrespect elpresidente, because i'm absolutely hooked on your website. But you sound like a little bitch, it's about time that we have someone with the balls to finally throw at your people. For years i've been watching your pitchers hit our players and always wondering why we never threw back. Do you forget the day that Pedro hit Jeter and Soriano back to back and took them out of the game. Come on man, stop acting like a bitch. You guys had this coming for years, Torre always took the high road, not Giaradi and Joba, and as a Yankee fan i couldn't be more pleased, it's about f&^%King time. You should be happy where not plunking your franchise player and it's just Youklis and his beaver on his face. You guys don't even like him, just ask Manny.

26X WORLD CHAMPIONS, Jul 27 2008, 4:53 pm

I don't know if someone posted this already, so my apologies if they did. I didn't have time to read all 123 comments.

This is one of my major problems with the DH. If Joba Chamberlain had to come up to bat the next inning, no way would he try and pull this shit. Instead, he gets to have Giambi or whoever go up and bat for him and avoid his own head being thrown at. Without the DH, only a pitcher with some balls will throw at a guy like this when he has to take his own turn at the plate later. Joba would never survive without the DH.

maz21, Jul 27 2008, 5:54 pm

Jeter's been hit by Sox pitchers about 3,000,000,000 times. Youkilis has a ball or two that don't even hit him, and Sox fans boo hoo about it. The pitch the other day got fouled off. Whiner.

Then, A-Rod gets drilled. Where were the ejections?

Next thing you know, Sox fans will applaud catchers who start fights with their masks still on. Oh wait.......

Maynerd, Jul 27 2008, 9:31 pm

i love that you're still bitter that our "catcher with their mask still on" owned your favorite "bitch ass with his tampon in."

move on.

tajory017, Jul 28 2008, 12:28 am

Wow....quite a lot of hostility in here today. While I am not an advocate of pitchers being head hunters (Remember Tony C.), throwing inside needs to be part of the game. And nayone here that is being objective needs to admit that Sox pitchers have pluncked plenty of Yank batters...so man up and let it be....thankfully no one got hurt.

Barstool Local Smokeshow of the Day (Jill)

Introducing Jill from Lexington.  Middlesex League in the Hizzouse!   What a great way to head into the weekend.  A little Jill action from Lexington never gets old.  Peace Out bitches!

If you seen any hot chicks at the Cape or Newport this weekend by sure to send them our way.  It’s a great opening line at a bar too.   “Hey have you been a smokeshow yet?   If not you should be”   Also I give permission to everybody to say they are a talent scout for us.   I’ll back it up to if anybody asks.   My buddy Cal has been doing it for years. Works like a charm.

Lowell Spinners Have Political Incorrectness Night

k

 

LOWELL, MA – THURSDAY, JULY 24 – Political Incorrectness Night at LeLacheur Park. One night after paying homage to the overly sensitive nature of being politically correct, the Spinners will go incorrect for the night. The Spinners will for one night create “Men Only” entrances to the ballpark and allowing only men to participate in the between-innings promotions. Furthermore, the first 250 women in attendance will receive pink Lowell Spinners potholders to use in kitchen while preparing dinner for their husbands. As a result, only females will take orders at the two main concession stands. The Spinners are also happy to provide napping areas for any senior citizens who feel the need to “rest their eyes” during the game. Cot stations will be set up on the concourse, available to any fans over the age of 60.

I love the minor leagues.  It’s like they are in international waters or something so the rules of normal society don’t apply.  I mean you could have “kill a guy” night and nobody would bat an eyelash.   It’s just a shame that the Stool wasn’t invited to come down for Political Incorrectness night. I mean that’s what we do.   I would have had some of our girls come down to Lowell dressed in next to nothing handing the shit out of those potholders and working the kitchen like nobody’s business.  Oh well.  Maybe next year.

Dude Gets Arrested For Trying to Bet With Weed At Casino

 

I've watched this video 10 times and I still don't know what he did wrong? Is it because he put the weed directly on the felt and messed it up? Got to use a weed coaster or keep the weed in the bag I guess. I mean what else could it be? The guy had a Cannibis Club Card. And everybody seems to be in agreement that the weed was worth enough to cover the bet. I'm not saying the Casino had to accept the wager, but this dude is certainly within his rights to try and barter. Listen I've watched enough movies to know you're well within your rights to bet weed, pink slips, rolexes or anything else of value when playing cards. It's the American way.

Rate This College Roommate Breakup Letter

j

 

 

Reader Email

Last year at college, I had this room that was a real loser. He left school after 2 weeks because he couldn't "handle it". Anyways, provided is a facebook message he sent me explaining his reasoning behind leaving. Thought it would be funny to share this with fellow Bostonians. This kid is from Virginia.  I’m from the South Shore and we both attended George Mason University

Hey Ben,

I came in tonight and cleared out my sheets and pillows because I'm not comfortable with how much weed you have in the room and the quantity of alcohol in your fridge. I apologize for not bringing this up earlier with you in person, however when I found the alcohol in my personal (and now rather empty) fridge I decided to take steps to remove myself from the situation and worry about letting you know only after the fact.

I didn't particularly mind the weed on occasion, but getting high what appears to be every night is pushing the envelope of tolerably risky behavior. Although this takes place outside of the room, I’ve noticed that you still keep the weed in the room. Additionally, the night in which you came in at 2 in the morning to get high with an obviously inebriated friend was exceptionally irritating.

The drinking I'm fine with, I just don't like having alcohol in the room, but was alright when it was still clearly not mine and in your fridge. However, when I found a can in my fridge today, I considered that unacceptable. I put the can into your fridge because I am unwilling to have it appear as though it may be mine. I am not willing to face whatever punitive measures may come of the (admittedly unlikely) discovery of alcohol in my fridge when it does not belong to me and I did not place it there.

I will be talking to the RA tomorrow to request a roommate change, which will likely occur on the 10th or the 12th, at the same time as the other roommate changes occur so that nothing will seem out of the ordinary. I do not intend to mention the specifics of why I would like to switch roommates and would like to leave it only that we have vastly different class, sleep, and study schedules. If there is someone else with whom you'd like to room, you might be able to make that happen if you also put in a roommate change form.

I have no hard feelings about this; I'm just unwilling to live in a room with as much marijuana, drug paraphernalia, and alcohol as there currently is.

Aaron.

 

You know as much as I want to make fun of this kid you do kind of have to feel for him. Here he is a nice Southern Gentleman going to George Washington University and he gets stuck with a kid from the South Shore as his roommate. Who wouldn't have a nervous breakdown?

New Study Confirms Poor People Buy Lottery Tickets (Thanks!!)

loaf

NEW YORK (Reuters Life!) - When it comes to purchasing lottery tickets, making people feel poor will prompt them to spend more money on a chance to become rich, American researchers said. They found that people who were convinced they were earning a low salary bought nearly twice as many lottery tickets compared to others who were made to feel more affluent. "When people are made to feel subjectively poor, they end up buying more lottery tickets which is somewhat perverse since every time you buy a lottery ticket, it's the equivalent of burning money," said George Loewenstein, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania who advised the research team. "It's certainly paradoxical that making people feel poor means they are more likely to burn money," he added in an interview. A recent report by the Commission on Thrift, a project of the private, non-profit think tank Institute for American Values, said that U.S. households with incomes under $12,400 spend an average of $645 on lotteries.

First of all I'm calling bullshit on that last statistic. People who make under $12,400 a year spend about $6,000 on lottery tickets. That $645 number has to be a typo. And #2, why do they even have studies like this? I didn't need Carnegie Mellon to tell me poor people play the lottery more than rich people. I mean how many times are you going to see Bill Gates in line at the Colorado "Loaf n' Jug"? Not many. Here's an idea - how about a study on how dudes have gone 15 years without winning at Keno? There's something to research. I don't know, I guess it is kind of ironic that in a study about wasting money, these people just wasted a shitload.

Celtics Dancers Pick Next Year's Squad

(Fuck Gary Gulman)

Let me start by saying I take it as a slap in the face that I wasn’t invited to be a judge for the Celtics Dancers audition.   Listen I can obviously understand Big Baby being picked ahead of me, but Gary Gulman and Ayla Brown?  Give me a fucking break.   Anyway since everybody knows that I should have been on this panel here is how I would have voted if justice had been served. (All pics courtesy of Bostonherald.com)

 

Maybe two years ago you make the team #8. But not when we're world champions. I can spot a "too much makeup face" a mile away.

 

 

This chick is in. She's like a fucking sexy version of gumby or something. Also I love #27's reaction. That's how you know your hot. Lots of chicks would shit themselves or have cake farts when they see a girl pull a stunt like this. #27 isn't even close to scared. She knows she has game.

 

 

Wait a minute? Were the above five photos all of the same girl? My god she's hot! Was she on the team last year? Is it Allison? If it is she better watch out because my favorite restaurant is Giacamos too! (South End though) Anyway mark my words. This chick will be on the cover of Barstool Sports before the end of next season. Mark that shit down! Don't ask me how or when but I promise I'm going to get it done. And when I do everybody has to buy a shirt. That is all the same chick right?

 

PS - Celtics.com has more pictures of the tryouts. And upon further review it looks like the reason the Herald showed the same girl 34 times is because the rest of the girls look like they leave quite a bit to be desired. Personally I'm a firm believer that quality is more important than quantity. If you only have 6 hot girls tryout than make it a 6 slut squad. No point in filling the roster out with ugly wannabe hot girls.

Man Crawls Over Finish Line In NYC Triathlon

 

Got to give this guy an A+ for effort. And just for the record I'd just like to say that I thought the announcers were a tad too nonchalant in their call of the race. If it were me and I was watching somebody possibly dying right before my eyes I probably would have put more emphasis on the "we're going to need medical" part.

Is It Time To Retire The "Yankees Suck" Chant?

y

 

Boston.com - The Yankees are in town for a weekend series, and this would be a nice time to retire the stupidest chant in the world: Yankees suck. I don't like the Yankees. I am a Red Sox fan, have been all my life, and so that means I don't like the Yankees. My two sons don't like the Yankees either. But here's the critical difference: I respect the Yankees, and I've taught my sons to do so, too. They are 14 and 11, love baseball, and know that Derek Jeter plays the game as well and as hard as anyone has. If I were picking sides in the schoolyard, Jeter is the guy I'd pick first. So when you say the Yankees suck, you're saying Derek Jeter sucks, which is preposterous. But, really, beyond being crude and moronic, the phrase "Yankees suck" is simply outdated. Its origins are from a bygone era, when we all knew deep down in our hearts that no matter how far ahead the Red Sox might have been in August, no matter the score and inning of a game in October, the Yankees were going to win. And there was nothing we could do about it. But that's over. It's been over since October 2004, when "Yankees suck" should have been put out to pasture. Shouting "Yankees suck" at Fenway Park today is like yelling "No Taxation Without Representation!" at Faneuil Hall.

Let me start by saying I think the guy who wrote this article is a complete tool bag.   Congrats buddy.  You taught your kids to respect the Yankees.  Way to make the world a better place.   But having said that I do think he brings up an interesting point.     There is a part of me that thinks the “Yankees Suck” chant is outdated or as this guy puts it a product of a bygone era.    Listen I’m not one of these Johnny Appleseed type guys who thinks everybody who partakes in the Yankees Suck chant is some drunken moron who should burn in hell.  I’m a firm believe that there is a time and a place for everything and that includes the chant.  I mean I’ll gladly join in at Fenway if the scoreboard operator puts up a crooked number for the team the Yankees are playing against.  And there have definitely been times during this recent playoff rivalry run where everybody is screaming it walking out of Fenway and in bars and clubs throughout Boston and it just feels right.  There was nothing rude, stupid or obnoxious about it.  It was about a city who was desperate to beat the Yankees and getting into the rivalry.  But times have changed.   While beating NY is always fun it’s also old hat now.   And just like how Yankees fans don’t chant 1918 anymore, I’m not sure we need to chant “Yankees Suck” anymore.   It just reminds me off the old days when we were their bitches.   In fact I almost feel like by still breaking it out it gives the Yanks more respect than they deserve.   So I’ll throw it out to the Stoolies.   Is it time to retire the Yankees Suck chant?    My feeling is that it’s still okay to do it whenever we’re playing them, but it shouldn’t be breaking out at hockey games and in line for the movies anymore.  It needs to be relevant.  Kind of like how we use the Beat LA chant.

Vote 1 for never say it again and 10 for people should be saying it at the supermarket.

Memo to the WNBA: This Is How You Fight!

 

DAYTON Fifteen players and both managers were ejected after a bench-clearing brawl in the first inning between the Peoria Chiefs and Dayton Dragons on Thursday night in the Midwest League. An hour after the brawl began, league President George Spelius, reached by telephone at his home in Beloit, Wis., reversed the ejections under advisement from the parent Reds and Cubs, who didn't want to see each team use two pitchers as outfielders. This wasn't an ordinary fight. Players from both sides were throwing—and landing—real punches, and Peoria pitcher Julio Castillo appeared to be trying to hit a Dayton player with a thrown baseball in the dugout, instead hitting a fan in the stands who had to be taken to a hospital. It all began when Dayton manager Donnie Scott left the third base coaching box to complain to umpire Tyler Wilson when Brandon Menchaca was brushed back by a pitch. Already Dayton had two batters hit in the inning, but the Chiefs were angry that Dayton's Angel Cabrera broke up a double play with a hard slide into second. While Scott was talking with Wilson, Peoria interim manager Carmelo Martinez—filling in for Ryne Sandberg, who is in Cooperstown, N.Y.—joined the conversation, which became heated. When Martinez pushed Scott, the benches emptied.


What’s that old expression?  When Ryne Sandberg is away the mice shall play?   Well it looks like that’s what happened here.  If I've said it once I've said it a thousand times. Nothing will ignite a fight like the throwing a fastball at a dude’s head in the dugout.   That’s going to get the juices flowing every time.  

PS – I love how MLB teams can call up the league president and make him reverse his ejection decisions.  That seems fair.

The only time I even thought about laughing was at the end when Kitna appeared out of nowhere. Just proves the old adage that Jon Kitna makes shit funny. Anyway even though I didn't think it was funny at the same time I was strangely caught up in the plot of the cartoon. Anyway rate how good you think this was. 1 for it sucked and 10 for you can die in peace now.
