I've seen a lot of strange stuff, but I've never seen anything to make me believe there's one all-powerful force controlling everything.

Oh, I've had my moments.

or, if you prefer, fupa

Yeah, that was pointed out to me in a PM. A bit more apt. That or front-butt. Gunt implies there's a bit of a gut rather than a touch of puffiness. Carry on.

I prefer the term frass myself.

I do agree that we won't likely sweep this series. Paul Byrd does not beat that lineup.

I want to see the impossible. I want to see J.D. Drew get so emotional that he charges the mound. Absolute Dutch fugue, blacks-out-and-wakes-up-in-a-pool-of-blood-but-isn't-injured mad.

What is a 'Dutch Fugue'? I googled it but all I could find was a broken page about some guy who spazzed out and killed everyone around him in 1870? Never heard anyone say that before.

Sure but I didn't believe it. Cool Hand Mccabe in the Great Outdoor Fight of 1877 sounded a little made up, and it was on urban dictionary.

The love child of Oprah and Simon Cowell, actually.

[metaprosthesis]

"The Force" is made up, too. And, yet, you see people referring to it in this very thread. It almost seems as if one can freely refer to fictitious events with metaphor.

Oh, and, Let's Go Lestah!

[hitting .525 in 1983]

The great outdoor fight of 1877 was started because someone thought something sounded a little made up.

[SoxFan234]

Fuck you Joba, you fist-pumping dipshit. Win.

[Doooweeeey!]

The Yankees lead the league in hit batters, and have hit 10 Red Sox hitters this season. Bay has been hit three times. This would be a great time to get a little payback for all those other incidents this season, and the Yankees aren't likely to retaliate since a few of their players just got done serving their suspensions from the Toronto brawl.

Strike first. And wear body armor.

[Freddy Linn]

Yankees Universe™ pissed on the ashes of the revisionist Joba Rules once they decided on rebuilding him in the 2nd half. Pitch counts are folly against Fisty McPumperson. He throws way too many pitches per start so often foils the best laid plans. From the LoHud Blog's pre-game notes:

If Joba's going to drill guys that hit him well, he may not get through the Sox lineup more than once:

Jason Bay = 4-7, 1 HR
Mike Lowell = 7-15, 1 HR
Pedroia = 8-15, 1 HR
Victor Martinez = 3-6, 1 HR
FWIW: Youkilis is 2-7 but with 7 BB's against JtC.

The name Fisty McPumperson demands more attention than it has gotten.

[TheElGuapo]

Youk playing, according to Amalie:

Lineup: Ellsbury, Pedroia, Martinez, Youkilis, Ortiz, Bay, Drew, Varitek, Gonzalez. Lester. #redsox

#Yankees lineup: Jeter, Damon, Teixeira, Rodriguez, Matsui, Posada, Cano, Swisher, Cabrera. Chamberlain.

Fun fact: Varitek's batting average since the All Star break (.132) is actually lower than Chamberlain's blood alcohol level at the time of his last arrest (.134).

By "last," of course, I mean "most recent," certainly not "final."

[patinorange]

Yes it does, I can't get it out of my head. Well done TW.

[bombdiggz]

The puffy area above the vag and below the waist, her gunt. Yes. You can see it in the picture. Her gunt.

I've always called it the FUPA (Fat Upper Pussy Area).

Six one way, half a dozen the other.

Beat Joba's face in and...

WIN.

[strek1]

It'll be awsome if Tek hits a bomb off of JTC. I'd think that'd be a low point for JTC. I hate JTC.

A screaming liner back through the box would be OK too. If anything happens to get in the way ...oh well.

[SemperFidelisSox]

Wow. The Yankees are going to go with Pettitte as their #2 in the division series instead of Burnett.

The Tigers could actually steal that series.

Too lazy and firewalled to check, but is there a pronounced home/away split that is making that decision for them?

/boss leaves

A down and dirty glance says that Pettitte is markedly better away from the Bidet, and that Burnett is noticably better at home there. Or are they taking into consideration Andy's previous playoff experience and being able to have him pitch games 2 + 5 in that "longer" series? (No idea the schedule).

A screaming liner OR a bomb by Tek might give Tito crazy ideas about playing him when the games start to count again.

I hate Joba as much as the next guy but let's keep our eyes on the prize, people.

That's what Heidi said.

[Rooster Crows]

Just when I think the MFYs have lost their assholeness edge . . .
Fighting words

Uncork the champagne and use red socks to mop up spills on the clubhouse carpet. That would be quite a Yankee Stadium party. Lights, camera, AL East title. The Yankees can make it official this weekend, appropriately enough with the Red Sox across the field to witness the celebration. . . . Just as importantly, the Yanks need to finish what they started. Entering the playoffs as anything but the AL East champions, after seizing control of the race in August, would be a huge disappointment. “We want to win the division because we’re in control of that right now,” GM Brian Cashman said yesterday. “This is more of a mental thing. If you have control of the division and you lose it, it’s a letdown.” Not to mention that home-field advantage throughout the playoffs is still at stake. That is just another piece of business the Yankees may have wrapped up by Sunday, when the Red Sox leave town.

I don't want any of the Sox hurt or suspended - each is too critical right now - but I would really love a knock down drag out ass-kicking tonight. Instead - drive Joba out early, guys, and humiliate the rest of the idiots, Jon. No pies for you, Yanks - or champagne either - what a letdown.

GO SOX - WIN TODAY!

I would have to think that they want him for 2 & 5, as the splits would seem to lead to the exact opposite in games 2 & 3(Burnett, then Pettitte).

I was actually very confused when I read his post the first time. By a strange and fairly awful twist of fate, Fisty McPumperson was my stage name when I was a... uh... performance artist.

[EastCoasterOutWest]

Exactly. Not sure what the MFY FO is thinking if they go with Pettitte #2 and Burnett #3.

[Bob Montgomery's Helmet Hat]

What they must be thinking is that they're more comfortable with Pettitte starting a Game 5, splits be damned.

[OhBabyDontOrtizMe]

Exactly. Not sure what the MFY FO is thinking if they go with Pettitte #2 and Burnett #3.

I'd bet two things:
1) Pettitte throws games 2 and 5 in the stadium, by virtue of the fact that he is a lefty
2) Burnett scares the ever-loving crap out of them, and probably think Pettitte's lower blowup factor outweighs Burnett's higher likelihood of throwing a gem.

edit: If 2 isn't clear, I meant Burnett is more likely than Pettitte to throw a gem if each were to have a good day, but Burnett's bad days are usually much worse than Pettitte's, who could still get you 5 or 6 innings even if he is shaky.

True, and can't say I disagree with you. I'm still waiting for Burnett to get injured this season.

Girardi doesn't recall a pitcher dominating in their rookie year according to his press conference on YES, so apparently, he's never heard of Tim Lincecum...

Eighth Sign of the Apocalypse

8. Our number eight hitter clears the infield on the fly tonight.

To wit:

In Captain Inhitables' last 29 trips to the plate (dating to September 7), the ball has left the infield in the air exactly twice.

Two of his three hits have been grounded through the infield, but he's managed one flyball out to right.

13 AL hitters have lower post-ASB averages, but Tek has 47 more ABs than the worst of them.

(If you guessed that's KFK (.145/.261/.276), you win a date with Geneva Carr, the Rollover Minutes Mom from the AT&T commercials.

If Jason gets the ball out of the infield tonight, I'd recommend going long on survival rations.
