1st championship won with RAB around!! Just wanna thank all you guys for making this a real fun season and congrats to all of us!!!! oh and the Yankees too!!!!
Guys – thanks SO much to all of you for sharing all this. This is so good… and Andy with the clutch performance… Mo doing it again… and Matsui with an unreal evening
Was it just me, or did the team all center around A-Rod during that celebration? Looks like he ran towards the mound and they all ran out to him and put him in the middle of the scrum.
Shit, like half of those 1920’s Yankees were all ex-Red-Sox. Babe was far from the only one.
Besides the Babe, Everett Scott, Wally Schang, Carl Mays, Joe Bush, Sam Jones, and Herb Pennock were all members of the Sox title teams of 1916 and/or 1918. We robbed Boston blind.
“Red Sox Nation? What a bunch of shit that is. … This is a Yankee country. We’re going to put the Yankees back on top and restore the universe to order.” – Hank Steinbrenner
Just rushed home from the Knicks (eh) game to see the last 6 outs, on my way I got to see the outside of Citi Field and the Blimp over Yankee Stadium, today was a fine ass day indeed.
What a wonderful year. I think the first time I thought this was a World Series team was in the second half when they went on that tear. It was a great job by every player this year, and this team overcame three players not hitting in the World Series to win.
What a great win, what a great series, what a great team!
For Steve Phillips, the silver lining of FatInternGate is that nobody now remembers or cares that he was beating the “Start Gaudin” dead horse harder than everyone else.
So, there’s that: You did something so dumb that it made your normal dumbness forgettable. Kudos, Steve.
Rose: Do you still remember the path down the Canyon of Heroes?
Jeter: What the fuck do you think, numbnuts? Not only can I draw you a map of it right now, I can draw you a map to help you find your wife’s honeypot, you idiot cockless loser.
What a pleasure this season was to experience. And, to so many of you here, thanks for helping to keep me (and other like me) sane and focused on the amazing things that this team accomplished. Who would’ve thought it in April, but, looks like I picked the right year to start reading RAB!
Remember the good old days when the Yanks were fucked and needed Halladay to win? Or when they lost 2 straight to the Nats, or losing game 1 of the season?
Let’s ask the folks at the Boston Globe if the Red Sox are showing all their cards yet, while Girardi went “all out” to win the AL East instead of getting his pitching lined up for the playoffs …
I love that in like, a week, we’ll all be wondering about Chapman and Holliday and Johnny and Matsui…gotta get on the horse for 28 in ‘10. So no need to sign off.
How about Ben, Joe, and Mike’s year, though?
Not every team has a place like this; thank you guys for it.
Well, to tell the truth, I mainly do it for Riddering, UWS, Rebecca, yankeegirl49, Kiersten, and Marsha. That’s who I really do it for, and you guys just benefit tangentially.
Don’t feel bad, they look better than you do. Roll with it.
Thanks for the great season here. You all are a big part of what we do here and why we do it. Trust me, it’s not easy, but you make it so rewarding. I’m speaking not just myself, but for Ben and Joe as well when I say thanks.
Much thanks for creating a haven for (by and large) smart, funny and engaging baseball talk. Without ever consciously realizing it, it’s become an integral part of one of the things in life I most cherish. So that doesn’t suck.
Thank you to all three of you for everything. You’ve created a place for reason and intelligence amidst a world of knee-jerk, idiotic, agenda-pushing sports media. It’s been a great season and you guys have made it even better.
The day that asshole John Henry had the fucking monumental let-me-fuck-with-100-years-of-Red-Sux-fate idiotic balls to tweet about Tex was the day I was sure we were going to crush those chowder fucks like the bugs they are and get #27 to restore balance to the universe.
Mystique and Aura are back and they don’t give no lap dances to non-Yankees
most funnest season ever! Great job RAB! Great job posters and great job Yankees!!!! I might just shell out the dough and catch a redeye to NY for the parade!!!
Wow! Everyone’s saying it’s impressive that Matsui won the MVP with so few at bats, but he could have had 13 more at bats and gone 0-fer and still hit over .300 and had sick stats.
fucking awesome game. awesome series, awesome postseason, awesome season as a whole. in a way though it still hasn’t fully hit me that the yanks just won the world series
1996 was awesome b/c it was the first one I got to experience, especially after all the poor seasons in the years before 1994. But it feels great to see another, especially with how the decade has gone (two other misses in 2001 and 2003).
And if it pisses of bandwagon Red Sox fans, all the better too.
1996 was definitely my favorite. Down 2-0 and coming back to win 4 in a row, and some real nail biters at that. Plus, I was living in SC not too far from Atlanta, so there were many, many bandwagon Braves fans to rub it in when they went up 2-0. I was going bonkers when Leyritz hit that tying home run…
Same, the first WS i really remember being invested in was 2001- obviously that was painful. I’ve been waiting for this ever since, eight years, and it is unbelievably sweet.
I LOVE THIS TEAM AND I LOVE THIS SITE! THANKS TO EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU GUYS WHO HAVE HELPED CARRY EACH OTHER ALL SEASON THRU THE UPS AND DOWNS! HOW SWEET THIS IS! 2009 CHAMPIONS BABY!
It’s been a hell of a season guys, and as my first season following this site it definitely enriched the experience! It will make the offseason more bearable.
I don’t know man. When he re-signed, he was all “Why would I go anywhere else? These guys give me a chance to win every year. At my age, that’s all that matters” or something like that. He retired having never won one. That has to hurt
FUCK YEA!
Great performance.
Great Win Question Where is Brian Cashman?????
Cash Deserves a ton… a ton of credit
WHOOOOOO
What a great year.
It just feels right.

World Champions.
Best. Season. Ever!

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Matsui did what I hoped. He went off with a bang….until that new contract.
WORLD CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!
Matsui is MVP.
With a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound
He pulls the spitting high tension wires down, Godzilla!
Helpless people on subway trains
Scream BUG-EYED as he looks in on them, Godzilla!
He picks up a bus and he throws it back down

when is the parade???
MATSUI-MVP!!!!! The Hungry Spot is going fucking WILD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ballgame over!!! World Series over!!! the yankees win thaaaaaaa yankeeeessssss wiiiiiiiiiin!!! 27 BABY!!!!!
1st championship won with RAB around!! Just wanna thank all you guys for making this a real fun season and congrats to all of us!!!! oh and the Yankees too!!!!
I second that wholeheartedly!!!
Nady sighting!
I may have cried.
A significant amount.
First WS of my adult life
Mine too!! I barely remember the last few! This was amazing!!
This proves that Eric Hinske just wins baseball games
It’s science.
They’ve done studies. 60% of the time, Hinske works every time.
He’s made from real bits of panther, so you know he’s good.
I’m gonna be honest, he smells like pure gasoline…
UGHH, he smells like Bigfoot’s dick!
Guys – thanks SO much to all of you for sharing all this. This is so good… and Andy with the clutch performance… Mo doing it again… and Matsui with an unreal evening
Breaking: Matsui is MVP
Was it just me, or did the team all center around A-Rod during that celebration? Looks like he ran towards the mound and they all ran out to him and put him in the middle of the scrum.
Damn that’s true. Who else won a ring with the Red Sox and Yanks? Besides Babe?
Hinske
Shit, like half of those 1920’s Yankees were all ex-Red-Sox. Babe was far from the only one.
Besides the Babe, Everett Scott, Wally Schang, Carl Mays, Joe Bush, Sam Jones, and Herb Pennock were all members of the Sox title teams of 1916 and/or 1918. We robbed Boston blind.
Joe Dugan and Waite Hoyt too.
Their owner, Harry Frazee needed cash to produce Broadway shows so Col Ruppert gladly took a championship core off his hands.
Johnny Damon?
FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
11:45 PM November 4, 2009
The world has returned to its proper axis and all is as it should be.
Thank you Yankees for a great ride and death (figuratively) to the unbelievers.
I love this fucking team. I have tears in my eyes right now. What a fantastic fucking year.
fan-fucking-tastic!
congrats guys. great season!
awesomeness!!!!
+27
AJ with another pie, haha!
Start of a new Dynasty!
Resign Damon and Matsui! They’ve earned it.
Agreed, and yes and yes.
No. This is still the same dynasty.
Jeter + Posada + Pettitte + Mo + Girardi = One Dynasty
The last 8 years was just a brief and ultimately historically regrettable interregnum, just like the failed Cromwellian Republic.
With slightly fewer beheadings.
There’s still time to catch up. I’ve got my eye on Jon Papelbon, Torii Hunter, Bill Madden, and Ken Rosenthal.
Definitely YES!!

Order is restored Hank. This is our universe!
How bad ass would it be if Joe’s new jersey changes and he comes out with a 28 during the press conference
Awwwww shitttt that would be gangster
World fucking Champs.
What a year.
What a year.
What a year.
This one is the best of the 5 I remember.
What a year.
Plus one!
This is my favorite.
It feels so good. I just can’t believe it.
I want the Good Lord for making me a Yankee fan
We did it baby, the core four got us one more!
No joke
How great were Pettitte, Mo, Jeter and Jorge this year and this postseason?
Someday we will look back in awe at how good they all were…..until then, we celebrate!

What a year. Can we now please put to rest any question of whether A-Rod is a “real Yankee”?
On to #28!
Yeah… this ballpark will do.
Way to break it in, boys.
ietcvm – YEAH!!!
Hank Sighting!!!
(Thats my microphone you bastard!)
They’re gonna drag John Kruk off the set of Baseball Tonight wearing a Phillies uniform, helmet and all, ala Kareem Abdul Jabaar in Airplane!
WOO HOO! LETS GO YANKEES!!!
It feels weird not seeing George right now…
YEAH, HAL! HOIST THAT FUCKING THING, BABY!
Ah, how touching!
Just rushed home from the Knicks (eh) game to see the last 6 outs, on my way I got to see the outside of Citi Field and the Blimp over Yankee Stadium, today was a fine ass day indeed.
Any chance Hank speaks?
Where’s Bruney with the bubbly?
Hal Steinbrenner … Born to steward this ship to many more championships!
One for the Boss
Hal is very emotional up there
I love this team so fucking much.
Holy shit guys.
I love you all too!
RAB is da bomb yo!
Yankees <3
I really wish I could go to the parade on Friday. It better be on TV or on the internet.
Howard Dean? Is that you?
BYAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!!!
How good must it feel for Joe to hold that thing?
my guess is we can put the girardi hot seat discussion on hold, finally???
but teh Donnie Baseball!
CONFIDENCE LEVEL: 28
Don’t think we’re stopping at one, Rest of the League. Get used to this shit. We don’t win titles; we build DYNASTIES.
This team is freaking STACKED.
Almost as stacked as Riddering.
GOD DAMN MOTHERFUCKING RIGHT. And next year … WE’LL PROBABLY HAVE 4 QUALITY STARTERS dun dun DUNNNNNNNNN
Gaudin’s gonna be in the rotation?
/dead horse, it is beaten.
Let’s get to 30 in three years!!!
Never lost a world series ending in 9!
Girardi is the boss! Holy shit!
Haha Girardi!
Wonderful season, guys. Was a pleasure.
Who’s better: Bonds or A-Rod? The numbers speak for themselves:
Championships – A-Rod: 1, Bonds: 0
Portraits of himself as a centaur – A-Rod: 2, Bonds: 0
THE NUMBERS DON’T LIE!
The numbers never fucking lie!
This Matsui interview will definitely be terribly awkward.
Girardi should just yell our “FUCK YEAH”
Utley would do it.
And then he’d fuck a reporter chick and demand to be paid for it.
yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congrats New York Yankees and to all of you here for fighting, arguing and bitching are way all the way to a Championship.
Enjoy it this why we are YANKEES FANS.
MATSUI!
Japan must be going crazy.
Japan just went collectively crazy.
Matsui-chu, MVP choose you!
I giggled
Congrats to Godzilla!
Matsui MVP, I approve very very much
MVP!!! MVP!!!
at long last!!!!
Matsui single-handedly just brought Japan out of a recession.
Anyone want to doubt that Tokyo is going just about as crazy as NY is right now?
The first World Series MVP that needs a translator.
I fucking love it.

I wonder whats happening at the Hungry Spot right now.
Thank you Mr. Stienbreners!!
Best owners in modern American sports.
The Loria family was pretty close, though.
No one else is close. George saved the franchise from the clutches of CBS.
I was kidding!
You the you the best
this hook was really written about George Steinbrenner
What a wonderful year. I think the first time I thought this was a World Series team was in the second half when they went on that tear. It was a great job by every player this year, and this team overcame three players not hitting in the World Series to win.
What a great win, what a great series, what a great team!
THAAAAAAAAAAAAA YANKEES WIN!
Diminuitiveness: Bloomberg has it.
I’m so happy. I can’t believe it.
“…and I definately want to thank the adult-film industry for making all this possible.”
A-Rod mothafuckas!!!!!
Awesomeness: Alex has it.
If this is Matsui’s last game as a Yankee, it was quite a swan song.
Kate Hudson for Co- MVP
Best city. Best team. Best Everything.
NEW YORK YANKEES 2009 WORLD CHAMPIONS!!!!!
We gonna PARTY!!!!!!
party time A-Rod!
LOL A-Rod!
And resign Matusi! Can’t stress it enough.
A-Rod looks so loosey-goosey up there.
It is a different era now.
/AlexGonzalez’d
I love this team!
crowd picking up emotionally.
I hope they interview Jimmy Rollins. No way that wouldn’t be funny. There’s just no way.
“Jimmy, 5 games? hitting Mariano Rivera, I mean you didn’t hit shit, where did it all go wrong?”
Jimmy, you said that the Phillies would win in five games, six if you felt generous…when does your Baseball Tonight contract start?
Hah! Well played.
Shots all around!!!
ANDY PETTITTE!
FUCK YES!!
FUCK YES!!
GODZILLAAAA!!!
My Mo, the clubhouse is so big, it looked like they were going to celebrate in the Bellagio Multi-Purpose Room B.
SWANK FOR EVERYONE!!!!!!!!
IT’S ABOUT FUCKING TIME, ARMAN!
I was saving this, but never really got to use it appropriately so this ones for you

All I know is that every decision Joe Girardi made was wrong.
This picture makes me so happy.
“We’re going to party!” = “We’re going pussytubing!”
What a season, and what a series.
We’ll be telling my grand kids about this one.

baha a-rod’s such a goofy/awkward public speaker.
And with such a smooth interviewer…
Everything about this team I love.
Amazing that they were able to win the World Series without the benefit of starting Chad Gaudin.
Miracle.
this!
Fire Giradi NOW!!!
Its all because Joba was in the pen.
Yeah, right…
Andy Pettitte on 3 days rest >>>>>>>> Pedro on any days rest!
For Steve Phillips, the silver lining of FatInternGate is that nobody now remembers or cares that he was beating the “Start Gaudin” dead horse harder than everyone else.
So, there’s that: You did something so dumb that it made your normal dumbness forgettable. Kudos, Steve.
Oh A-Rod btw, don’t cheat on Kate Hudson. We want your clutchiness back for 2010, 2011, and later.
+28,29,30,31…
I want to thank the good lord for making me a Yankee fan!
This still hasn’t sunk in yet.
I want to hear from the Melk Man
“Joe Buck, suck my nuts!”
Hahaha. Jeter calling Rollins out. I love it.
That was great!
Did Jeter just take a shot at Rollins with the predictions thing
You know, Jimmy Rollins, you just can’t predict baseball
/Sterling’d
What’d he say? I’m stuck watching it on FOX. :/
Did Jeter just take a shot a Rollins?
Yes, and it was awesome.
What did Jetes say?
He said “before the series, we heard a lot of prediction…” and i forgot the rest.
5 more years for MO!
Please, oh please, Mo, stay another five years.
OH HELL FUCKING YES!!!! FIVE MORE YEARS!!! FIVE MORE YEARS!!!!
Me likey!!!
lol @ Posada just ignoring the question.
These are the stupidest questions I’ve ever heard.
Well, you’re young yet.
Haha. “I was thinking of retiring…” HEART ATTACK “…but I think I’ll play 5 more years”
The economy sucks, the world’s beyond messed up, and yet I have reason to smile. Praise Mo.
It gets worse THE HEALTH CARE PLAN IS GONNA HAVE DEATH PANELS IN IT
Remember when Manuel said Pettite was losing his stuff?
And that they could figure out Rivera?
The list goes on with all the trash talking that team did. Stay classy my friends…
Remember when Manuel said that Quaker Oats is a nutritious breakfast or that Liberty Medical can deliver me my insulin at home?
Oh, wait, that was Wilford Brimley. Got ‘em confused, nevermind, my bad.
Wow! Awesome, Tommie.
Man, how horrible is Chris Myers on the podium? You can tell Jeter doesn’t really care for his poor attempts at jokes.
Interview Rollins. Now.
Did Manuel just cry?
The economy sucks, the world’s beyond messed up, and yet I have reason to smile. Praise Mo. 27. It’s a beautiful number.
Just once, I’d like to see a guy answer all these idiotic questions with the sarcasm and ridicule they so richly deserve.
Rose: Do you still remember the path down the Canyon of Heroes?
Jeter: What the fuck do you think, numbnuts? Not only can I draw you a map of it right now, I can draw you a map to help you find your wife’s honeypot, you idiot cockless loser.
I just need 2 things now……to Hear the Sterling Call and to watch that fucker Kruck cry on TV………….2009 Champs Mother Fucker!!!

Can’t WAIT to hear Sterling’s calls.
What a pleasure this season was to experience. And, to so many of you here, thanks for helping to keep me (and other like me) sane and focused on the amazing things that this team accomplished. Who would’ve thought it in April, but, looks like I picked the right year to start reading RAB!
I just wanted to pop in here to say, I love everyone of you.
/crying tears of joy
Brett’s wife/girlfriend/sister/whatever is pretty bangin’
I thought that too.

My dad goes “That’s his wife?! He’s in way over his head.”
Your dad is a funnyman. Brett’s not a bad looking dude, but that girl is a bit beyond him. Still, he’s a frickin’ Yankee.
Melky nails porn stars. It’s not totally crazy.
Time for WAGS to come out and get photographed
Ah, that’s cute. A-Rod is carrying that trophy all the way.
Why was there a Mark Sanchez jersey hanging behind Charlie Manuel. And is was that Brett Gardners wife? Well done.
LOL i asked that same question, go get it gardy.
Ozzie is a man. He admitted he was wrong.
You understood that?
Hey Krukie, where are your excuses now?
“Well the Phillies weren’t hitting…They’re pitching couldn’t do it…Ryan Howard was in a slump…”
Keep on flapping those fat gums. There’s no way you can take this away from us. The Yankees are 2009 Champions. Eat on that, bitch.
Remember the good old days when the Yanks were fucked and needed Halladay to win? Or when they lost 2 straight to the Nats, or losing game 1 of the season?
I remember losing 8 straight to the Red Sox and the ensuing panic. This is a lot better to remember
Let’s ask the folks at the Boston Globe if the Red Sox are showing all their cards yet, while Girardi went “all out” to win the AL East instead of getting his pitching lined up for the playoffs …
How the fuck did I miss that?
Anyways yeah, many times people thought they were done, but they won it all.
That.
We knew, but we didn’t know.
/Chris Berman’d
Or when Gaudin didn’t start game 5 and the whole series was lost?
/dead horse…etc.
I was sure it was over after we lost all those playoff previews. This really is shocking. I’m shocked.
I guess Girardi knows his own team better than that insufferable blowhard Frandouche after all
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
what an incredible fucking year. thanks to everyone at RAB (readers and authors alike). it feels so fucking good to share this with everyone!
I love that in like, a week, we’ll all be wondering about Chapman and Holliday and Johnny and Matsui…gotta get on the horse for 28 in ‘10. So no need to sign off.
How about Ben, Joe, and Mike’s year, though?
Not every team has a place like this; thank you guys for it.
+1.
Thanks for an absolutely great season, guys.
Yeah. RAB was great this year. Big props to Ben, Joe, and Mike.
Watershed year for RAB no?
I’ve found my Yankee community. Its RAB.
Intelligence, class, and success seek each other out.
RAB rocks, Mike/Ben/Joe rock, we rock, the Yankees rock. It’s a natural symbiosis.
No, TSJC, you rock!
Well, genius is a pretty strong term, but if you insist on using it, I can handle it.
OK, if you insist, I’ll use it in a sentence…
“Goddamn, I am a genius for following the Yanks on RAB.”
Everyone insists, you’re a big reason people like the threads. Just take your bow already!
I only do it for all you guys.
Well, to tell the truth, I mainly do it for Riddering, UWS, Rebecca, yankeegirl49, Kiersten, and Marsha. That’s who I really do it for, and you guys just benefit tangentially.
Don’t feel bad, they look better than you do. Roll with it.
God damn right. We won this one, time to start talking about #28. That’s how The Boss’ team rolls. New dynasty starts in 2010.
You guys are the BEST!!!!
True, thank you Mike, Joe, Ben. You guys are the best!
Thank you guys for all your work. This place is home for Yankee fans.
Have they put Hank in a home?
He was there on the stage.
crapula probably meant George
No I meant Hank. I didn’t see him. He’s gotten so quiet.
Joe Buck sounds totally deflated.
Hey Kruk, where is your
sandwichGod now?Hey guys,
Thanks for the great season here. You all are a big part of what we do here and why we do it. Trust me, it’s not easy, but you make it so rewarding. I’m speaking not just myself, but for Ben and Joe as well when I say thanks.
Hope to see you at the parade!
Mike, thanks for making RAB a “safe haven” for sane Yankee fan-dom.
All kidding aside, every aspect of the site is appreciated, you guys do a great job, hats off!
I’m getting tipsy, not sure the point of the all kidding aside, I suppose a smart ass remark was coming
Thanks for creating the best Yankee
blogsite ever.I HEART RAB!
We heart you for making 1/3rd of RAB possible.
Much thanks for creating a haven for (by and large) smart, funny and engaging baseball talk. Without ever consciously realizing it, it’s become an integral part of one of the things in life I most cherish. So that doesn’t suck.
Thank you to everyone at RAB for a great season and a great site!
Amazing site. Really.
Thank you.
Sir
Thank you to all three of you for everything. You’ve created a place for reason and intelligence amidst a world of knee-jerk, idiotic, agenda-pushing sports media. It’s been a great season and you guys have made it even better.
Hope to see you at the parade!
OH SHIT IT’S THE LONG AWAITED RAB MEETUP
You guys are the best, thank you!
Dude your guys’ website kicks ass, don’t even act humble about it. You got the best Yankees shit on the intergoogle.
RAB is my favorite tube amongst the series of tubes.
I’m not sleeping tonight. Too excited.
Has anyone heard Sterling’s call yet?
Yo, Cashman, where are you now? This is the time to let it all hang out!
He’s off signing Aroldis Chapman
HELLS YES
He’s boinking his wife in a luxury suite while she calls him “Daddy”
Cash is in the deepest rainforest of central america looking for the new KwisatzHaderach.
Holy shit IETCVVVVVM brilliant
Good Mo, I turn on ESPN for two seconds, and Kruk is calling Joba’s season a “failure”.
That awesome, what a douche bag
Kruk and “fail” go together
Can he please shut up and let us enjoy this moment?
Zero is hard to measure, but he’s as big of a zero as they come.
WOW what a great ride.
Now lets do it all over again!
Andy Pettitte says incentives? I eat incentives for breakfast.
You know what’s fun to think about? 0 – 8 against Boston.
and dropping the games to the Angels before the AS break.
The ledge jumpers have hopefully jumped.
Damn, where’s the champagne celebration?
i am having one in my apartment
Everyone one of Cashman’s moves came through this year. Even Marte!
The curse of the Bambino: 86 years
The curse of MT: 7 months
The day that asshole John Henry had the fucking monumental let-me-fuck-with-100-years-of-Red-Sux-fate idiotic balls to tweet about Tex was the day I was sure we were going to crush those chowder fucks like the bugs they are and get #27 to restore balance to the universe.
Mystique and Aura are back and they don’t give no lap dances to non-Yankees
Amazing season. Thank you Mike, Ben, and Joe for making it enjoyable. Great work this season RAB.
This is a great feeling right now just got back from a bar were they were giving the game wow its a great feeling to be a yankeefannnnnn
Cole Hamels’s wish finally comes true.
I AM ON TOP OF THE WORLD RIGHT NOW. I AM GOING TO BE A COCKY MOTHERFUCKER THIS WHOLE OFFSEASON!!!!!
Welcome to the club, buddy.
The big penis club.
/Chappelle’d
Does anyone know if the parade is tomorrow or Friday ?
Given that there might have been a game tomorrow, I assume it can’t be before Friday.
Friday
I have nobody to share this with but RAB.
Well done everyone, from Melbourne, Australia
CHAMPS.
Everyone needs to get pied at the same time
Sterling: Parade kicks off at 11 Friday morning, with the stage at City Hall
I’m tempted to do the 4 hour drive tomorrow night just for this
I’m tempted to catch a flight across the ocean.
Where are you driving from? I’m tempted to go in on gas money!
most funnest season ever! Great job RAB! Great job posters and great job Yankees!!!! I might just shell out the dough and catch a redeye to NY for the parade!!!
Paul’s combination of a tiny head and broad shoulders makes him look like one of the bad guys from that awful Mario Bros. movie.
Actually, I was thinking that O’Neill looked kind of like the shrunken head guy from Beetlejuice!
Raul Ibanez also looks like this
Turn the confidence meter up to 11.
Wow! Everyone’s saying it’s impressive that Matsui won the MVP with so few at bats, but he could have had 13 more at bats and gone 0-fer and still hit over .300 and had sick stats.
sure, but he basically had four games worth of ABs, so the counting stats are that much more impressive.
Suzyn’s interviewing Hank
Said this was more emotional for his dad than the other ones
I want to hear a bit from CC, is there anywhere to follow the celebration now that fox is off?
I assume YES is showing the celebration
I’m listening to WCBS 880 at the moment
Kay and Cone on YES, but coverage is continuing.
I’m in San Francisco, it doesn’t seem like they stream live
ESPN has Girardi at the podium now (12:38am)
We did it, yo!
You can’t win a World Series with 35 year old shortstop……..oh wait.
Can we just get a list of the Yankee busted memes this season?

YANKEES ON TOP AGAIN!!!!!
WHOOOO, Champions of Baseball. Team of the Year, Team of the Decade, Most successful franchise of the century.

The Paul O’Neill Theory is true afterall
That Joe’s wife?
Joe Girardi’s wife looks eerily like… Joe Girardi.
And they say A-Rod loves himself.
She’s cute.
Of all the Yankee WS wins, this has been the most satisfying for me
+1
I was too young to fully appreciate ‘96-’00, so this really means a lot to me.
+27
I saw Yankee Championships in the 1950’s and this STILL means a LOT to me.
I feel old being 31. Haha.
1996 was awesome b/c it was the first one I got to experience, especially after all the poor seasons in the years before 1994. But it feels great to see another, especially with how the decade has gone (two other misses in 2001 and 2003).
And if it pisses of bandwagon Red Sox fans, all the better too.
1996 was definitely my favorite. Down 2-0 and coming back to win 4 in a row, and some real nail biters at that. Plus, I was living in SC not too far from Atlanta, so there were many, many bandwagon Braves fans to rub it in when they went up 2-0. I was going bonkers when Leyritz hit that tying home run…
I was at NYU for the ‘96 series, dating a girl from Atlanta. She couldn’t stand me during those games.
Held back sex for like a whole three days. (She crumbled, eventually.)
I stopped following baseball after the strike and didn’t come back til the 2003 postseason, so this is the first championship I’ve actually watched
Damn, son, you really know how to hold a grudge.
+27
Same, the first WS i really remember being invested in was 2001- obviously that was painful. I’ve been waiting for this ever since, eight years, and it is unbelievably sweet.
How will Andy be able to attend the parade on only 1 day rest?
Awesome.
That is truly great!
best comment of the night.
And a h/t to Damaso Marte. Damn fine job.
Yup, picked up where Hughes left off
Never would’ve guessed that would be the case back in July.
You gotta have faith, and patience.
True talent levels will eventually win out.
Fuck Yeah!!
Damn this feels great!
Hal just told Michael to STFU.
What happened?!
pissed i have not seen one shot of the clubhouse, living outside NY and not having YES blows!

Mike, can I get the link to that banner you had up earlier?
So does this mean that Mussina has officially taken over for Mattingly as the biggest jinx in Yankeeland?
I wish I was on facebook so I could like this lol
Wow – Talk about bad timing. But I don’t think Mussina cares.
Its not like we needed a fourth starter anyway!
I don’t know man. When he re-signed, he was all “Why would I go anywhere else? These guys give me a chance to win every year. At my age, that’s all that matters” or something like that. He retired having never won one. That has to hurt
If he has the grapefruits to walk away after a 20-win season, I’m not sure how much more a World Series championship would matter.
He won’t hea
