Short and angry because I feel horrible.
I'm extra cranky tonight because I pushed my body way beyond it's limits today in order to stay The Cool Aunt, but I am going to rant anyhow.
The Yankees proved that the story of 2009 is that failure is always an option with this team.
Let me quote from Tyler Kepner (who I don't hate, shockingly enough):
It was a raucous scene in the Yankees’ clubhouse after Saturday’s rainout in Boston. The music of the Village People thumped from the stereo - mostly “Macho Man” and “Y.M.C.A.” - for the annual rookie hazing.
*snip snip*
Humberto Sanchez was the sailor, Francisco Cervelli the biker, Juan Miranda the cop, Dave Robertson the cowboy, Alfredo Aceves the Indian and Brett Gardner the construction worker. (There was no costume for Phil Coke, who stood forlornly in the back of the room.)
You have to be shitting me. Cucuzza can't count? How do you exclude a player? I cannot comprehend this. Annnnnnnnd, to skip a player who whole-heartedly embraces being a rookie and all of the trappings that go with it is just ridiculous.
Re: the pink bag: “And don’t get me wrong man, it’s supposed to be a rookie deal, but I’m absolutely appreciative of it. I love the fact that they’re willing to put some sort of trust in me, regardless of whether it’s pink or any other color, to make sure that we have seeds and stuff like that out there in the bullpen. It’s like they’re handing me responsibility rather than kind of like a rookie hazing, that’s how I view it.”
The kid was honored to be carrying the pink bag that most guys drag behind them half-assed, but they couldn't bother to rent him a cheesy Halloween costume? They ought to be ashamed of themselves. And~! He's the second longest-tenured rookie, he's not just some late-September call up! *flail flail*
I just found a reason to use my "Cranky Coke" icon.
Major Fail.
And now, bed, because I will be getting up early to make breakfast for the kids. After which, we will spend the day in our pjs playing Star Wars: Force Unleashed...if the "hurricane" we are allegedly going to be hit by doesn't knock the power out...
