I’m Shipping Off to Boston

OK. Not really but, I did visit Beantown this past week. As much as I hate the Patriots and Red Sox, Boston was actually not to bad to visit this past week. It was my first visit so I was excited. Note: I stayed in Cambridge, Boston was a 10 minute walk away. Let’s recap some cool places to visit:

1) Fenway Park Located at 4 Yawkey Way. It has served as the home ballpark of the Boston Red Sox club since it opened in 1912, and is the oldest baseball stadium currently in use, as well as being the only of the original standard ballparks still in use. It was a great time being in the Death Star but I, Luke, buried my Yankees hat somewhere. Don’t tell anyone.

2) Cheers Beacon Hill on Beacon Street in Boston/Bull & Finch Pub: The show used the Bull & Finch outside shots of the namesake bar Cheers.

3) Boston Beer Works: Just for the Blueberry Beer.

4) Asgard Irish Pub & Restaurant: Irish theme restauarant where the beers are top-notch and the food is INCREDIBLE. No pic needed.

5) Sam Adams Brewery: For a 2 dollar “donation” you can drink beer. As Charlie Sheen says #winning

Rangers CEO criticizes Yankees fans, then apologizes.

The Texas Rangers CEO, Chuck Greenberg criticizes New York Yankee fans yesterday on The Ben and Skin Show on 103.3 KESN, Texas. He later than issued a statement apologizing for his comment.

Responding to a question about Rangers fans’ demeanor during the postseason, Chuck Greenberg digressed into a critique of Yankees fans which included an unflattering characterization.

“I think our fans have been great,” Greenberg said on The Ben and Skin Show on 103.3 KESN. “I think particularly in Game 3 of the World Series they just blew away anything I’ve seen in any venue during the postseason. I thought Yankee fans, frankly, were awful. They were either violent or apathetic, neither of which is good. So I thought Yankee fans were by far the worst of any I’ve seen in the postseason. I thought they were an embarrassment.”

Later Monday, Greenberg issued a statement apologizing for his comments.

“Earlier today, in the course of praising the extraordinary support and enthusiasm of Texas Rangers fans, I unfairly and inaccurately disparaged fans of the New York Yankees,” he said in a statement. “Those remarks were inappropriate. Yankees fans are among the most passionate and supportive in all of baseball.

“I have spoken directly to Hal Steinbrenner and Randy Levine to apologize for my intemperate comments.” (via: espn.com)

I think this play left a bad taste in his mouth.

5 Things You Might Have Missed This Weekend

Welcome to this Mondays post with what you missed this weekend.

Yankees: After losing two games to Boston, the Yankees finally pulled out a win over the Boston Red Socks. How you might ask? Bases loaded, Bottom of the 10, tied 3-3 and Okajimi decided to walk in Miranda. That my friends might be the best game of the year for the Yankees.

Jets: The Jets needed this win over the Miami Dolphins to take their division and came through with a big win. What a game! Did anyone see the hit on Ronnie Brown by David Harris? If anyone can find the video of that, post it in the comments. I’d like to see it again.

This Guy Sucks: Francisco Rodriguez

Being a New York Yankee fan all my life, I hated when K-Rod used to pitch for the Angels. He was somewhat of a Yankee killer, but when he came to the New York Mets, I was OK with it, since he was out of the A.L. Division and the Mets could use all the help they could get.

Mr. K-Rod, after last weeks incident of getting into a fight with your girlfriends father, you hurt your little thumb. Well, hurting your thumb has now landed you with getting surgery and also a restraining order that prevents you from entering the home or visiting your children without permission from Family Court.

You just K-Rod yourself.

This Guy Sucks: Tim McCarver

With me being a baseball fan, I had the pleasure of listening to the great Bob Sheppard, Joe Morgan, Joe Buck, Michael Kay and “other announcers call Yankee games.” Recently Tim McCarver went overboard. How do you compare a former coach of the New York Yankees to a World War II leader? You can’t. You don’t. World War II was a horrible war from the bombing of Pearl Harbor to the Germans and concentration camps. For those who don’t know this is what Tim said during the Old-Timer Days on Saturday:

“You remember some of those despotic leaders in World War II, primarily in Russia and Germany, where they used to take those pictures that they had … taken of former generals who were no longer alive, they had shot ‘em,” McCarver said Saturday. “They would airbrush the pictures, and airbrushed the generals out of the pictures. In a sense, that’s what the Yankees have done with Joe Torre. They have airbrushed his legacy. I mean, there’s no sign of Joe Torre at the Stadium. And that’s ridiculous. I don’t understand it.”–Taken from espn.com

“Tim what is wrong with you?!” Yes I understand the Yankees did not mention Joe Torre. I was there, but you don’t say something like that!

Your apology was only sub-par. You deserve to take the walk of shame into the depth of hell.

Regards: The Person Who Will Still Listen To You To Make Fun of You.

5 Ballpark Rules For Guys, and Girls Too!

As you may or may not know, I am a huge New York Yankee fan. I try to go to a game at least twice a month to fulfill my fix. This past Saturday, I had the chance to take my dad to his very first Old Timers Day. The day was really for him and I just relaxed and enjoyed the show, but I looked around and noticed some odd things.

There are some unspoken rules when going to baseball games so here they are:

1) Opposing Team: I do not hate Mets/Boston/Tampa Bay fans. Everyone is entitled to like the team they want but if you are going to go, do not make a fool out of yourself and start chanting for the other team.

2) Beer: The vendors work hard so do not give them a hard time. They walk all the way up to the last row to hand you a cold one at least be thankful and tip them.

3) Food: Yes I know the prices for food are crazy, but the guy behind the counter did not make up the prices. Do not try to argue with him over prices. The last thing you want is a spitball in your food.

4) Seating: People have a habit of just sitting their asses wherever they want. DON’T. Nothing irks me more than me getting to the game and someone is sitting in my seat and they give me a dirty look like it’s my fault.

5) Transportation: Driving to the Bronx is a nightmare so I don’t drive. Taking the Staten Island Ferry to the 4 Train, subway, is the easiest way to get to the game. Let this rule be clear, it’s called Public Transportation. Hey, jacked MoFo who cannot turn your neck, you do not own the train so if you do not fit get off. I am sure another train will be coming 3 minutes from now.
