The Captain Abides

The Captain became the second of the Core Four to be elected to the Hall of Fame today. He was a first ballot inductee but he still got screwed. One moron didn't vote for him so it wasn't unanimous as was the ballot for the great Mariano.  Along with Larry Walker in the regular ballot and Ted Simmons in the Veterans Committee bullshit. Another deserving nominee Red Sox asshole Curt Schilling was denied again because he is an out conservative and most sports writers are communists.

The voting for the Hall has always been screwed up as there was a big movement to not put players on in the first year of eligibility. Which is bullshit because you are a Hall of Famer or you are not. You don't magically become more of a Hall of Famer in one year. The other is that people who are definitely Hall of Famers but are denied for reasons other than their performance. Curt Schilling. Pete Rose. Now it is Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens. Now I hate Roger like the Arabs hate the Jews but I have to admit his performance demands that he be elected unanimously on the first ballot. The same for Bonds and Rose. Look they always do comparisons with players that in the Hall already.  You have to let in this outfielder or that because Harry Heilman or Reggie Jackson have much worse stats. There are a bunch of people in the Hall who did terrible things including murder. You have to go by their performance not their moral character. At least that's what I think. I would have to swallow letting Clemens in and Rose as well Their performance demands it. You are not in their because of you character. You are there because of you performance on the field.

Now we can wait for Spinelli's rant about how they should never be in the Hall.

By the way I hate that I have to stick up for famous Red Sox assholes like Schilling and Clemens.

Because you know one important fact that negates all others.

Boston Sucks.

The "Please Clap" Guy and a Guy with the Clap buy a baseball team!

Jeb Bush and Derek Jeter have won the auction to buy the Florida Marlins. They paid 1.3 billion to get the South Florida team. That's right. 1.3 billion. Where did they get all that money.

I bet Jeter is window dressing. There have to be a lot of big money guys involved. Jeter must think he can run the baseball end of things. Big mistake.

Jeb has said he will be the controlling force. But I don't think so. The will be a big money guy who will call the tune. They just used Jeb and Jeter as a front.

It was the same deal when the Boss bought the Yankees. Mike Burke thought he was running things and Lee MacPhail thought he would do the baseball decisions. Just like this set up. Instead the Boss took over everything. I bet that is what is going to happen here.

Jeter is making a big mistake because he is going to tarnish his image by being involved in the management of another team. He needed to go off and enjoy his life outside of baseball. He could have been an icon like Mantle and DiMaggio were back in the day. Instead he is a hack connected to a another team. Big mistake.

They should stick with what they are famous for in real life. Jeb for asking people to clap for him in his hapless run for President. Jeter for giving celebrity bitches the clap. It is hilarious that if you go to a celebrity social disease site every one says "Derek Jeter gave her herpes."

Now he is giving it to the National League. What would Ricky Branch say?

Diamonds are a Girls Best Friend....the Next Generation

(Outside the Yankees Locker room in Jeter's rookie year, Joe Torre and Mel Sottlemeyer come out of the Locker room and run into Derek and his date in the hallway)

Joe Torre: Hey rook. Great game.

Derek Jeter: Thank you Mr. Torre. I would like you to meet my girl Mariah. Mariah this is my manager Mr. Torre.

Mariah Carey: So nice to meet you Joe. Derek loves you. He is always saying nice things about what you are teaching him. You are very wise.

Joe Torre: Why thank you. And I want you to know that my wife Ali loves your music. She has all your albums. So where are you kids off to?

Derek Jeter: Oh we are going out for a bite to eat.

Joe Torre: Yeah me too. I think I am going over to Rao's. For some reason I feel like some Bacala. You know some old fashioned stinky bacala like my grandmother used to make. I don't know why but all of a sudden I have an urge.

Derek Jeter: I guess that is an acquired taste.

Joe Torre: Yeah it is great once in a while but you wouldn't want to eat that every night.

Derek Jeter: You know Mr. Torre you always give me something to think about. See you tomorrow.

Mimi lost a billionaire so she could bang a back up dancer!

Mariah and boytoy can’t hide their smiles at premiere party 

New York Post By Nola Ojomu, The Sun December 5, 2016 

looked absolutely smitten with dancer Bryan Tanaka as they attended her reality show viewing party on Sunday.

The 46-year-old singer and her boytoy fella were pictured sharing sweet smiles at each other as they posed for pictures at Catch in New York as they celebrated the start of the diva’s new docu-series, “Mariah’s World.”

Carey was certainly dressed to impress as she showcased her cleavage in an extremely plunging gown that clung to her famous curves.

The sheer mini dress featured a nude underlay to protect the star’s modesty while her figure was highlighted by black net detailing and diamante beading. She completed the look with black fishnet tights, a diamond necklace and sparkling heeled sandals. Her long locks were styled into glamorous curls while she wore flawlessly applied makeup and accessorized with a diamond stud and butterfly ring.

Tanaka, 33, appeared to be in great spirits as he wore a white top, black leather jacket and a gold necklace.

Carey and Tanaka recently went public with their new romance, two months after her split from billionaire fiancé James Packer.

Derek Jeter final at-bat

“You can’t even dream this stuff up”

Last night, baseball player Derek Jeter got a walk-off hit to win the game, in his last at bat at Yankee stadium, the home field where he played his entire 20 year hall of fame career.

The Yankees were up, 5-2, in the ninth. Most of the 48,613 kept looking at the dugout, wondering when Joe Girardi would send Brendan Ryan out to replace Jeter and bring with him an ovation that would shake the new stadium to its very core. Then it was 5-4 after a home run. And 5-5 after another.

The first impulse, of course, is anger. But then the fans realized something: More baseball meant one more at-bat, bottom of the ninth, third man up. The booing stopped then. And it was about then when the last spasm of fear rose inside Jeter’s stomach, up to his throat, farther up to his tear ducts.

“I think I’ve done a good job in my career of controlling my emotions,” Jeter would say. “I try to trick myself into not feeling those emotions, not feeling nerves or pain. But today I wasn’t able to do it.”

And then, a few seconds later, he would be inspired by the magnificence of it all: “Fifty thousand people chanting your name. I don’t know how many occupations that’s possible.”
