Well This Completely and Totally Ruined My Day

A site that started up around the same time this did, and which is run by a bunch of really funny and truly nice guys with whom I've had numerous conversations, is closing its doors.

Thanks for the memories, FJM. You'll be sorely missed.

"Juan Pierre hit zero home runs last year. Mythical fairy creature David Eckstein hit three, for Chrissakes, and he swings a three-inch bat carved out of a candy cane."

Mike Lupica is a Jackass: Chapter Eight

Man, was I stoked to rip into the insecure, mean-spirited busybody today after reading this total piece of dog crap, but it seems I was beaten to the punch on the Lupica-bashing.

Thus, I direct your attention to Mr. Tremendous' take. No need to double up, when we pretty much have the same things to say.

QOTD

Thank you Ken Tremendous.
Aura. Mystique. That indefinible je ne sais quoi de sinistre that the magical underachieving Yankees of 1996-2000 had in spades. Think about the improbable run of that team. They were made up entirely of career minor leaguers, rag-tag humps, 42 year-old semi-retired recovering-alcoholic player-coaches, a pretty-boy third baseman (Corbin Bernsen), a young, raw base-stealing phenom with a batting glove obsession, a placekicking horse, Kathy Ireland, that weird quiet kid Jimmy who swore he would never play basketball again, and a simple Iowa farmer who ploughed his field because Ray Liotta/his own dead dad/he himself talked to him in a funny way, and they were all coached by Emilio Estevez. And somehow, someway, they overcame extraordinary odds, came together, and using nothing more than guile, team chemistry, mystique, aura, and togetherness, won four World Series in four of the biggest upsets in the history of professional sports!
