Report: Trouble brewing for Bernie
ByAs swan songs go, Bernie Williams‘ efforts in the WBC haven’t been what he wanted. While he was internationally walked a few days ago, his play in the field and on the base paths nearly cost Puerto Rico a key game against the upstart Netherlands team. Now, a woman in Puerto Rico has filed a complaint against Williams, alleging that the former Yankee hit her and took her camera while at a nightclub early Thursday morning. Police are investigating, and I hope they find evidence to clear Bernie. He was always one of my favorites, and I’d hate to see him go out like this.

That’s not going to help his album sales.
Sure it will. It gives him street cred.
Can you imagine if Bernie starting dropping mix-tapes?
IETC.
God dammit I still can’t figure out what “IETC” means. Can someone cure my ignorance?
I enjoyed this comment.
I think typing it out is better, really shows one cares.
It all depends on how much you enjoyed the comment.
In my opinion, if you didn’t enjoy the comment enough to write out the complete sentence in the first place, its not worth noting.

I enjoyed this comment.
There is also this one right here.
RSIAIB.
Ryan S. is an ignorant bastard.
So that will clear up confusion for the next time you see one of those.
Yes, something tells me that RSIAIB will become a popular one. I’m a huge fan of self-degradation so bring on the humble pie.
Heh. Just being an ass.
Haha I know buddy, its all good. Don’t worry, I’ll be sure to return the favor once football season starts up again.
Hah. It will be the other way around.
Hey how did you feel about T.O. getting released? I think it was the right move by the Boys.
Not a big deal to me. I shed a tear or two at first but now I don’t care too much. Even though he is a dick, I’ve always been a TO fan. Whatever, I like Austin and want to see what Hurd can do. Miles Austin—Looks like A-Rod.

All of this could easily be cleared up if we just posted the damn RAB Glossary/Compendium.

Alex Cora wins ballgames
Clearly, that’s a shot at Jeter
What did I leave out?
HAH you’re kinda right. Yeah Miles Austin has some potential … and you just gotta help Roy Williams hasn’t lost his (potential, that is.) Jason Garrett is the dude that needs to turn it around, more than any actual player.

Bernie Williams was the most feared hitter of his generation
TSJC: there’s got to be some kind of Gammons-related meme out there, right?
Ah, yes, my old:
“For Diamond Cutters, I’m Peter Gammons, ESPN.”
Also, don’t forget the sabermetric memes like:
-Backup your statements with statistics and analysis
-Go make love to your spreadsheets, nerd!

Well based on this report…
Oh, and:
“Mo it is written, Mo it shall be done, Mosanna, Mosanna, Mosanna in the highest”
And we’ve got to do something for Melvin Croussett. My favorite Melvin line ever was:
“Melvin took steroids once. They made him weaker.”
Yup, two more good ones, Ryan.
and we can’t leave out the most important thing that exists in baseball:
TEH 8TH INNING!!!1!1ONE!!!ELEVENTY111!!!

You missed Lohudian
Damn, how could I forget facepalm?

Jacksner.
Personally, A.D., I prefer the noun “LoHuddite” over the adjective “LoHuddian”, because it more closely resembles the noun “Luddite”, meaning “one who opposes technical or technological change”.
Just my two cents.
Oh, and:
“Let me Google that for you”

Touché.
AD – I don’t remember the circle of trust meme. Fill me in?
(That’s what SHE said!)
The “Circle of Trust” is a reference to those relievers that Joe Torre would actually bring out of the bullpen (also referred to as “Torre Guys”), regardless of how many innings they’ve actually worked, or if its logical to do so.
please use the replt to comment button on the right. it makes the whole conversaiton easier to follow and mroe fluid

to the cirlce of trust thing came QuanGorMo did it not?

just make a thread where we can list them and make our own compendium or glossary of RAB terms
One of the more undervalued memes IMO:
I’d do that in a cocaine heartbeat.
Gotcha.
Yes, JSB, Mondesi’s reply line should be in the Glossary as well, as should Jack’s screencap of the reply button. Anyone have a link to that? All I can find is the old one:

That might be a good idea, then we can democratically decide on the exact wordings and definitions…
Democracy? Who said anything about running a democracy?
I think we’ve been accused of being socialist. So yeah. We’re socialist.
That’s right, the socialist meme. The classic “Mike/Ben/Joe is restricting my annoying dialogue by making me adhere to their posted commenting guidelines, hence, they’re the Soviet Politburo!!!” Never gets old.
That made me think of our boy Robert Goulet, remember him? Didn’t he get banned for saying some off the wall personal attacks against one of you guys? Peruse if you don’t.

(Bonus points for the “Fantasy Football Name Drop” meme making an appearance in that thread…)
TSJC, I think you got this one from a Jim Carrey movie, right?
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUP

yeah i got some paperwork i gotta go take care of….
Weird thing for Bernie to do, unless that picture was particularly damning.
He must have been roiding up at the time. Trying to make a comeback, Kenny Powers style.
From the sound of things, it appears as if Bernie may have pushed an invasive camera aside and made contact with the woman. If so, it really doesn’t strike me as a big deal, nor do I think it will impact Bernie’s legacy in any way.
There goes Bernie, drawing attention to himself again. The Yankees will be better off without him this April.
Cancer for the Puerto Rico team!!!1!!
Seriously. I bet he taught Manny and A-Rod everything they know.
Too bad he didn’t teach them how to be a “feared” hitter like he was.
DAMN! Forgot to add that one to the Glossary list. One sec, lemme scroll up…
I don’t believe it.
Go out like this? He retired years ago
Nope. Bernie never officially retired.
TRUE YANKEE!!1!!
I agree, Steve. This is news? All Yankees beat up women.
except for Sabathia. he is too exhausted from his previous workload to raise his arm. it was proven by his poor spring training outing.
John Harper isn’t getting nearly enough shit for that column.
The more that traditional sports reporters try to make up sensationalist BS to sell more papers, the more they lose their credibility. Its a vicious cycle and as more and more of the younger generations find alternative news sources that bring up a much more fair and balanced view point, the more no one will give a rat’s ass about what guys like John Harper have to say.
The second line of that article:
Getting smacked around in early March is practically a rite of spring for veteran pitchers, and hardly cause for concern.
As soon as I read that I thought: “Yep. So why are you writing this, Harper?” and stopped reading.
“Getting smacked around in early March is practically a rite of spring for veteran pitchers, and hardly cause for concern. But, I’ve got an 800 word count quota to fill and I’m too thickheaded and unimaginative to think of a real baseball story to talk about and too clueless to actually analyze anything intelligently, so buckle yourself in while I waste the next 7 to 14 minutes of your life, depending on your reading speed.”
That is a shot at Derek Jeter.
well at least bernie is still winning hitting titles.
