Fuck The Wall Street Journal

Take your time dude.

Take your time dude.

WSJ In case New Yorkers needed another way to compare Derek Jeter to Alex Rodriguez, we’ve found something new. When Mr. Jeter hits a home run, it takes him 20.19 seconds to round the bases, the second-fastest time among Yankees starters. Mr. Rodriguez needs 24.94 seconds, the slowest mark on the team. To determine which Yankees are the slowest to circle the bases during their home-run trots, Take a Number clocked how long every 2009 home run took. The average for current Yankee starters with at least 10 home runs last year is 22.1 seconds—all of Mr. Rodriguez’s home-run trots were slower than that. The average home-run time in the majors is 21.89 seconds, according to Marquette University data coordinator Larry Granillo. As a team, the Yankees are the 12th-fastest, edging the Mets by two-tenths of a second. Outfielder Curtis Granderson is the fastest Yankee at 18.81 seconds, but that’s partly because many of his home runs barely leave the yard—he runs quickly because he doesn’t know where the ball will end up. Most of Mr. Rodriguez’s home runs are sure things. Maybe that’s why he pauses for a second to admire them.

Are you kidding me Wall Street Journal? Look I’m no Bernie Madoff but this is the dumbest fucking thing I have ever read in my life. Yanks are going well, A-Rod has his ring, and you’re gonna try stirring this stupid shit up? Gee here’s an idea how about the Wall Street Journal sticks to stories concerning FUCKING WALL STREET? When you’re referring to El Capitan as Mr. Jeter I think its time to double check your credentials bro.

You know what would happen if I started spitting out financial advice to the Stoolies? Buy the G.T.L. shirts high! Sell the Ben Rapelisberger shirts low! Would just flood the market with awesome t-shirts. Pure chaos. I’d probably even share my weather theory that the stock market goes up when its warm and sunny out and it always goes down when its raining and shitty out. And yea I know thats fucking retarded but when you think about it, is it that much different than this jackass comparing home run trot times?

psych.

appendix; wall street covers more than finance, as they have become a broader reaching publication.

kind of how barstool sports covers more than sports.

The world is against the Yankees, when will those plucky underdogs ever get the respect and attention they’re due. No one EVER talks about them and if they do it’s always negative shit!

scott, nice edit.

as long as he is a beast in that lineup he can walk around the bases –

wonder how long it takes Big Sloppy to run the bases after a HR? oh wait – he doesnt even make jogs to first base anymore, just straight to the dugout and then next to the Hall of Shame

great new Sport Illustrated Cover coming soon!

Again it always comes back to the Red Sox. The Red Sox are not mentioned anywhere in this WSJ article. A-Rod is a cunt, no one likes him, let’s move on.

UNLESS you want to hear what happened I hooked up with this troubled teenager (She was 18) and we smoked a bunch of supercrack together…

Someone tell Scott that his articles are about as entertaining as a movie starring J-Lo.

» good time johnny said: { Apr 27, 2010 - 04:04:16 }

scott, your articles stink more than the back up plan.

according to sarah palin.

» Quest said: { Apr 27, 2010 - 04:04:15 }

nothing important or relevant is mentioned in this article – point being how can anyone find a way to criticize a HR? did Ruth sprint? its just clear the media realized they let him off easy over the course of one season since he won so they are right back at it, wont change with a-rod

GNUpwdr- defensive of the best clutch hitter in sox history or mad cuz its like watching the end of brady anderson’s career?

more worthwhile yankee article:

quest- neither… just don’t like unoriginal little cunts you. Big sloppy… really? Fuck yourself… then kill yourself

» Quest said: { Apr 27, 2010 - 07:04:06 }

i do like little cunts personally – who does like unoriginal?

anyway tell David Arias to hold my table at the Forty/Forty club

» Quest said: { Apr 27, 2010 - 07:04:24 }

for the remainder of his season hopefully Esther Rolle works better – i’ll gauge by how many times you say cunt
