Fact: Joey Harrington Thinks Jeter's a Bitch

This is killing me. Besides every network pounding the Yankee demise down our throats, we now have to listen to the Yankees and their "comeback." Here's one fact: they are still 9.5 games back, here's another fact, they (at the moment I'm writing this) are not yet above .500. Now honestly, for a payroll well above $200 million and the Brett Favre of MLB coming back to save the day and the equivalent of a 2000-2001 ish All-Star squad 1-9 there's no goddamn reason that they should be below .500 in the first place.

Honestly, I want to rip out my eardrums every time I flip on Sportscenter and have to hear about the "Yankee Comeback". Alright I'll give you that they won 6 straight, over the White Sox and the PIRATES!!! In other news, my intramural basketball team won 6 straight by sweeping a 3 games series with the School for the Blind and then sweeping the local quadriplegic all-stars.

At least Sportscenter has begun mocking the sea of assholes they call Yankee fans by pointing out that every home run that a-rod now hits makes him a "true Yankee". This makes me feel a little better about having to hear the YES network call themselves the network of champions, no not really that still makes me wish with every fiber in my body that Bob Sheppard would drop dead and that Steinbrenner would pull a Cory Lidle.

Now for the good stuff. Joey Harrington hates the Yankees as well.


Friends of AoF were present at the middle game of a 3 game set with the Yankees perched upon the monster. One such rouge was getting beers in line when he was berated by a drunk Boston fan babbling about Joey Harrington. His interest mildly piqued, he ventured down the aisle and in fact, Joey Harrington was seated in the first row of the monster seats. Now, by all accounts Mr. Harrington was nothing but friendly and accommodating to the drunken requests for pictures after 3 innings of shouting at him. The greatest part of this picture, Harrington's t-shirt. He also engaged in a rousing rendition of Sweet Caroline, which is 10x better than the God Bless America that the Yankees pompously shove down our throats. (that's right yankee fans no one loves america more than you, or at least the welfare checks it provides to you). That's one hell of a guy right there. Hey Joey, just so you know, we're all rooting for a Vick indictment.

spoken like a true red sox fan who can feel the foot steps. only a victory by one of their fans in the moustachio bashio can save the red sox from their imminent demise.
