I hate watching that fat bastard play. I wish the Yanks never signed him, and they probably wouldn’t have if they new what they had with Cervelli. I pray that they don’t re-sign him next year, they don’t need him with ...
The Wrong Panic Move
yankeesredsox.com 26 days ago — Well the lineup is in and Molina is catching AJ but we also have a change in right. Swisher is on the bench and...HARISTON is in?

World Series Game 2: Idiot Wind
fackyouk.blogspot.com 26 days ago — Here's a new one guys, Joe Girardi is driving us insane before the game even starts!
