Waffle House AND Sarah Lee!? SWEET

I am back home in NY, I can't wait to watch a full broadcast on the Yes Network!
I went through NC today on a train. It's a nice looking state. Very green!

Wow, that's a long train ride! Sadly, a lot of those carolina pine trees that make our state so green are being cut down as things become more and more developed.

Hot List

Yankee Traveling Secretary Dave Szen is in hot water as the IRS investigates his alleged failure to declare income. The Yankees have granted him "leave," but here are a few things George Costanza, the one-time assistant to the Traveling Secretary and best buddy of Jerry Seinfeld, got away with while working for the Bombers on "Seinfeld."

1. Replaces polyester with cotton as the material for the Yankees' uniforms, which isn't a good fit.

2. Wears an authentic Babe Ruth jersey taken from the Yankees Hall of Pride display case, then wipes his strawberry-stained hands on it.

3. "Streaks" through a Yankees-Orioles game in a flesh-colored bodysuit.

4. Ties a World Series trophy to the back of his car and drags it around the Yankee Stadium parking lot, yelling, through a bullhorn: "Attention, Steinbrenner and front-office morons! Your triumphs mean nothing. You all stink. You can sit on it, and rotate! This is George Costanza. I fear no reprisal. Extension 5-1-7-0."

5. Sleeps under his desk.

Note: George does items 2-4 in an attempt to get himself fired, so that the Mets can offer him their job as their head of scouting, which he never gets.

Anyone watch on YES today and see that guy catch A-Rod's batting gloves and give em a big ole sniff?

Awesome.

and now back to baseball:

Phil Hughes threw 6.2 scoreless innings, allowing two hits. He walked three, struck out four and threw 91 pitches, 57 for strikes.

just had to throw this in real quick:

my mom was back in town yesterday, so she took me, my wife, and our kids out to eat. my oldest wanted to go to tully's (sports bar/restaurant), so that's where we went. when we were seated, they were just coming back to the game, bottom of the eighth, and i see that farnsworth is on the mound. i moan and my mom says "what's wrong?" i reply with "what's wrong? take a look at who's pitching, that's what's wrong." she doesn't follow the yanks like she used to, so she asks who it is and i tell her. i then tell her "look, he'll do one of the following: walk the lead off batter, or give up a home run." and what does this fool do? walks the lead off batter, strikes out the next batter, then gives up a 2 run homer. it never fails with this asswipe.

then, i really got into ribbing him. i see him in the dugout during the top of the ninth, and he's got his fucking arm all bandaged up with ice. what the fuck, dude? you pitch one inning every 3 games. your arm gets that sore that quick? seriously, he needs to go. i don't care, pay him what's left on his contract and just drop his sorry ass.

i had a similar experience a few weeks ago while sitting in the cheap seats down the RF line.

torre brought farnsworth into a tie game. i turned to my friend and said, "he's gonna walk the leadoff batter, allow him to move to second when he throws away a pickoff attempt, and then let him score on an RBI double."

well, it turned out i was wrong.

he gave up a leadoff single with a 3-ball count, then threw away a pickoff attempt and gave up an RBI double.

so i was 2 for 3.

luckily for him, melky tied the game on a balk in the 9th and robbie won it in the 10th.

EDIT: i suppose my hatred of farnsworth detracts from my position against moving joba.

i was at the game too and anyone around me also knew what was coming when they brought in farnsworth.

yeah, it's part of his routine. and i didn't mean it to look like i was nostradomus (sp?) or anything. christ, my 10 year old knows what the story is with farnsworth.

btw, bettermanningnyg, i love that nickname "farnsworthless"
