We’re…. There. Yankees Take First Place.
Well, it took until June 12th to wake up to a first place Yankee team (I don’t count the fleeting moments of supremacy in the early weeks of the season), but we’re there. After a long drive cross-country in an ’84 sheepdog and a couple of big gulps, the Yankees have finally arrived in a place where the beer flows like wine and beautiful women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano. I’m talking about a little place called… first. It’s still relatively early in the season, but there’s just something about seeing the Yankees on top and Boston in the cellar that gets my dick hard. Baltimore is coming back down to earth and Toronto realized they were running late on their annual free-fall. Sure, Tampa is stuck on New York’s ass like two guys on a hog, bound together via frozen stream of piss, but if the Yankees keep pitching the way they have been, it should be a good battle down the stretch. All things considered, through all the injuries, pitching woes, and lack of clutch hitting, this team is in a decent spot (Cue the $200 million dollar payroll bullshit from commenters).
P.S.- What do you like better, Christmas or Wedding season? Yes, umm, the answer would be, umm, Neither! Scoreboard watching season, motherfucker. Get that ScoreCenter app downloaded and prepare yourself for an aggravating amount of energy devoted to waiting for it to update, because it’s time to keep an eye on the Rays and stay mindful of the Orioles. And don’t sleep on Boston. They’re bound to make a mid-summer run.
ATROCIOUS
fucking yankees fans. Tied with another team? FIRST PLACE!
Fucking Manzo is back!
60/162 = 37% through the season. If you are scoreboard watching already you a one pathetic loser (thought that was fitting as another D+D line).
When are you going to get a job?
Carpetmuncher…you realize that we own the rays this year meaning we have the tie breaker. And you cant really call out Yankee fans for not considering that first place. Its not like we need to cling to that…We have 27 Championships to cling to.
trying to hard. not sure if ill read another strasser blog
Wow that was bad. Half your blog is quotes from movies for no apparent reason.
so your point is be happy but be aware of every other team in the division? jeez man. way to completely contradict your enthusiasm for being in first.
you’re a yankee fan. and yankee fans, like americans, are supposed (and have earned the right) to be obnoxious, pompous, know-it-all assholes. we embrace that shit. we say we’re the best because we honestly believe it and we don’t marginalize it by saying ‘but beware of tampa, baltimore, boston, and toronto’. fuck that noise. we’re in first. all you other teams suck. the end. man up strasser
RIZZO OWNS YOU ASS BITCH. Also, this is like your 3rd blog in a row where you’re like “Cue the comments from the commentors” or “I made the oven joke first so commenters can’t”. just shut up and fucking write. If you’re so damn focused on the response your going to get in the comment section how the fuck can you expect to put out good writing if your main concern is commenter’s jokes?
Tampa’s comment about not being able to sell out every game coming in 3…2……..
Frozen piss. Hard dicks. Great baseball insight!
Horrible blog, but fitting. It’s got to be embarrassing being a fucking Yankees fan. Knowing your team’s strategy is to just buy championships (and somehow still fail) instead of finding/developing talent. Getting anxious about how many years are left before baseball implements some kind of salary cap. Your team didn’t “take” first place, dickhead. Your team finally caught up to Tampa Bay.
Didn’t even read the blog, went straight to the comments. And just as I suspected, based on public opinion, this blog sucked.
Yeah, those 27 championships are real embarrassing to talk about, closethippie. Take a walk.
Thank you leftlane, I almost forgot – “Being left with nothing to talk about other than what the players of the past have done.” Mariano Rivera & Derek Jeter have 5 rings. The rest of these Yankees have less. Nobody outside of NY gives a flying fuck about your other 22. The first team to have a luxury tax applied to its payroll and you still can’t buy more than 1 fucking ring in the last 11 years. Good Effort

dommyd24 “you realize that we own the rays this year meaning we have the tie breaker.” 1) anyone who says “we” when referring to a team they like is a tool 2) you realize the yankees are 4-5 against the rays this year so i wouldn’t exactly call that owning them, which also means that the yanks wouldnt have tiebreaker either. dont get me wrong its completely idiotic to look at standings and tiebreakers in june to begin with, but any yankee fan who drops the “27 championships” pretty much gives away that they’re an idiot who can’t give any insight about what’s going on now
I feel embarrassed for all non-yankee fans who feel the need to respond to Yankee blogs. To be honest, I dont think I have ever read a Mets blog, a red sox blog, or any other blog about teams who are inferior to my favorites (Yanks, giants, rangers). As a fan of organizations that win, we really don’t need to overcompensate for our shortcomings by blasting other teams. In fact, we would just prefer status quo where you’re all left in the basement to rot for most of the year until we have play your shitty teams (patriots, jets, red sox, mets, etc) Any-who, whether your our little brother in NYC, or up in Boston, just know there is nothing you can say that will shake out belief that we are better than you. (except maybe game 7 of the ALCS in 04, that really sucked)
ps ON what fucking planet will there be a salary cap in baseball? please enlighten all of us of how, why, and when that will happen
