A-Rod to Yankees
A-Rod to Yankees
The Yankees have just bought themselves a curse. They will never win a chamionship with that overpaid malcontent at third base.

The mighty St Helens dispatched Leeds today 24-14 and head for the quarter finals. The fourth seeded saints have now got rid of the number one and two seeds and have been installed as favourites. If they make the final I might fly home for it like I did in 1996. Don't get me started on what was probably the grreatest eighty minutes of my life.

The problem is that steroids were not a banned substance. Lots of guys have used them in basball over the years. The most glaring cheat, in my mind, was Brady Anderson. He was a decent ball player who never hit more than 17 home-runs in a year. During his contract year he got suddenly huge and belted 50 dongs. Signed a huge contract after the season, lost some bulk and never hit more that 20 after that. Hell, I would probably do a season of cycles as well if someone was going to give me 40 million.

Boston your my town (not really NYC)
It's all anybody in the city is talking about. Ben Affleck was on the TV complaining about it and a waiter walked by and screamed at the screen, "Deal with it motherfucker." Any waiter, for whatever rerason who calls Big Ben a motherfucker gets a big, way over 20% tip from me.
Yes this is a post from when A-Rod was first traded. But Boston wins the World Series. I am playing the Standell's Dirty Water.

Ass Rod was probably sober:
Appearing on Fox Sports Net's Best Damn Sports Show Period, Kevin Millar said the team did shots of Jack Daniels before Games 6 and 7 of the ALCS against the Yankees. And then after winning those games, continued the practice in the World Series for good luck.
"Before starting Game 6 (of the ALCS). It was about 35 degrees out there at Yankee Stadium," Millar said. "I went around and got a thing of Jack Daniels and we all did shots of Jack Daniels about 10 minutes before the game. And we won Game 6. So Game 7 of course, we had to do shots of Jack Daniels. And we won Game 7, so guess what? I'm glad we won in Game 4 (in the World Series) because these Crown Royal shots and Jack Daniels shots started to kill me. And that's how the Sox did it.
"Can you imagine (manager) Terry Francona taking a shot of Crown Royal before Game 4 of the World Series? It's out there now, baby — we were drunk.
"The Red Sox credited their incredible team chemistry for helping end the team's fabled "curse." And the team affectionately referred to itself as a bunch of "idiots" as they made their postseason run.
And asked if the drinking made anyone "loopy," Millar said you could tell it had an effect on some of the players.
"Trot Nixon was (loopy)," Millar said. "He swung 3-0 and had a take sign with bases loaded and hit the ball off the wall. He was supposed to take that pitch."
But Millar tried to back off some of his statements since Friday's interview.
"I wish I'd never opened my mouth," he told ESPN's Peter Gammons. "It was one of those group team things, like shaving our heads last year. What we had was one small Gatorade cup, with a little Jack Daniels in it. We passed it around and everyone symbolically drank out of the same cup, because we are a team. It wasn't as if guys were drunk."
