A Small Victory: sing and dance with david wells!

In lieu of voodoo, which I've been asked not to engage in, as it didn't work out so well last season.

Two and a half hours til game time.

We will now sing the Yankee theme song (download)
Lyrics below. Now start singing.

Y.A.N.K.E.E.S.
Here come the YANKEES
Let's get behind and cheer the YANKEES
They're gonna learn to fear the YANKEES
Everyone knows they play to win, cause

They're the New York YANKEES
Show them today why your the YANKEES
No other way when your the YANKEES
Wadda ya say we win a brand, new, ballgame

We're gonna shout when ya powder the ball
We're gonna scream, "put it over the wall"
The other teams gonna know what it means to play the
Y.A.N.K.E.E.S
We love the Yankees
Shout it out loud , We Love The YANKEES
We're really proud of our YANKEES
And we're gonna win today
2, 3, 4, Hit, Run, Fight, Score, Go! Go! Go!

We're gonna shout when ya powder the ball
We're gonna scream "put it over the wall yo"
The other teams gonna know what it means to play the
Y.A.N.K.E.E.S
We love the Yankees
Shout it out loud, We Love The YANKEES
We're really proud of our YANKEES
And we're gonna win today

Y.A.N.K.E.E.S. Yes

That was evil. And hilarious.

I'm on pins and needles waiting for the game to start.

Sweet Caroline!

Boomer can wear a damned string bikini if he wants. Just so longs as he burns you guys. And yeah, I was kind of hoping for the voodo that you do so well.

Where it began

I cant begin to knowin

but then I know its growin strong.
Was in the spring

then spring became the summer.
Whoda believed youd come along ?
Hands
touchin hands

reachin out

touchin me
touchin you.

Sweet Caroline

good times never seemed so good.
Ive been inclined
to believe they never would.
But now I -

Look at the night
and it dont seem so lonely

we fill it up with only two.
And when I hurt

hurtin runs off my shoulders

how can I hurt when holdin you ?
Warm
touchin warm

good times never seemed so good.
Ive been inclined
to believe they never would.
Oh
no
no.

So, what are you saying? Even an ex-Yankee in a frilly pink dress can beat New York? Okay, then.

Posted by: Solonor | September 30, 2005 05:19 PM

This Saturday! Our top five dancers against yoru top five dancers! OC Convention Center. It's on!

Posted by: Solonor | September 30, 2005 05:26 PM

Okay, I'm all ready for this fight tonight...sane, sober, ready to turn both terms right on their heads at drop of a dime...

(SLAPS COMPUTERS AWAKE; CALLS UP ASV)

windows shatter as Boomer prances across the main machine's screen...

HOLD ME CLOSER, TINY DANCER...

Posted by: TC@LeatherPenguin | September 30, 2005 05:41 PM

Oh, and can John, speedie and Solly get a room (and tape the results so INDCent Bill has an aftertaste)?

Good? Fine. Now fuck the world:GAME ONE!

Posted by: TC@LeatherPenguin | September 30, 2005 05:46 PM

Sweet Caroline
(ba da da daah)
good times never seemed so good.

I'm fucking crying...

Posted by: TC@LeatherPenguin | September 30, 2005 06:10 PM

Hold that thought.

Posted by: spd rdr | September 30, 2005 06:22 PM

Now that my pathetic Padres have clinched the NL West, I am waiting for the Yanks to lay down the law so they can sweep us in the World Series like they did in '98 (if we get there, that is).

Posted by: jo-fo | September 30, 2005 06:31 PM

Of course, if Boston went instead, we'd have a chance to sock it to Boomer who left us because we wouldn't pay him enough.

Posted by: jo-fo | September 30, 2005 06:32 PM

"I feel pretty!"

Posted by: Lesley | September 30, 2005 06:34 PM

T-minus five minutes. Let's go kick some ass.

Too bad on the fricking west coast the games start when I'm still at work ...

Posted by: Jason | September 30, 2005 06:56 PM

Hey penguin! Yeah let's get a room! You can join us! I'll bring the Sam Adams.

Let's see...Boomer is 14-1 at Fenway. His opponents BA at Fenway is .259.

Wang is 3-2 this year away, with opponents BA at .273.

And we all know he won't have to bat like the picture wearing the tutu.

So, I don't care if he breaths through his eyelids like a lava lizaed or wears a pink dress...he just better bring his shit tonight.

Posted by: John | September 30, 2005 06:59 PM

See ya, Jeter!

Posted by: John | September 30, 2005 07:11 PM

See ya, Giambi!

Posted by: John | September 30, 2005 08:02 PM

Ouch!

Did that just go through Jeters legs?

Oh, that's gonna leave a mark!

Posted by: John | September 30, 2005 08:05 PM

I think I'm gonna go masturbate to pictures of Angelina Jolie. I'm a sports fan, but baseball is so.... yawn. No offense. Different STROKES and all....

Just kidding, gotta go feed the kids.

Posted by: Mark | September 30, 2005 08:49 PM

It puts the lotion in the basket!

Posted by: chris | September 30, 2005 08:50 PM

Hah!

Posted by: Mark | September 30, 2005 08:53 PM

Ouch! 2nd and 3rd with one out and coming up empty. That has to hurt.

Posted by: Matt | September 30, 2005 08:54 PM

Mark

No offense? Are you describing the Yankees?

Oh! The masterbating comment, that was a metaphor for the Yankees, right? Or is that a simile...

But seriously, going from squirting on Angelina Jolie to feeding your kids in the same post...dude. Seek help.

Posted by: John | September 30, 2005 08:57 PM

Actually, I'm watching the game so I can handle Biden's strike zone challenges when I'm appointd to take Sandra Day O'Conner's place on the SCOTUS.

Meanwhile, Angie is winking at me....

Posted by: Mark | September 30, 2005 08:58 PM

By the way folks, I know for a fact that "John" is a commie.

Posted by: Mark | September 30, 2005 09:00 PM

aaaannnnd they walk Papi.

It's Manny-time.

Posted by: John | September 30, 2005 09:01 PM

Jesus! Walking Ortiz to get to Manny? Talk about a tough decision.

Posted by: Matt | September 30, 2005 09:01 PM

Hey! Commies like baseball, too!

Omigod Manny just scored!

I think Michele's doing her voodoo thing somewhere.

Posted by: John | September 30, 2005 09:11 PM

AAAAAAAARGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH

Posted by: michele | September 30, 2005 09:12 PM

In the inimitable words of Peter Boyle on the worst TV show ever:

HOLY CRAP!!

I walk to the kitchen to order take-out from Chicago Ribs, and suddenly Boston is ahead 5-1??

Damn!

Posted by: Mark | September 30, 2005 09:13 PM

What would Don Zimmer do?

Posted by: chris | September 30, 2005 09:16 PM

Lose.

Posted by: spd rdr | September 30, 2005 09:18 PM

JEEEEEEEEEEEETEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRR!

Posted by: michele | September 30, 2005 09:24 PM

Hey Penguin,

I've got some good herring going now. Want some?

Posted by: Mark | September 30, 2005 09:25 PM

Yankee fans have to learn not to get the hopes so high, it makes the loses hurt that much more. Take from a longtime Red Sox fan who died every September when they did.

Of course I also remember the "Impossible Dream" even owned the vinyl album.)

Posted by: JimK (No Relation) | September 30, 2005 09:26 PM

I've never been in Yankee Stadium, but I've tried 2 or 3 cases across the street. If the quality of jurors is any indication of the quality of the team, I am concerned for Michele. Not that they came to the wrong conclusion, its just that they did it for the wrong reasons (in one trial, two of the six jurors didn't even speak English, and that wasn't revealed until after the verdict.) Scary place, I tell ya.

Posted by: Mark | September 30, 2005 09:31 PM

Kill the broad interviewing Robert Redford.
Then kill Robert Redford.

There is a goddamn baseball game going on here.

Die, schmucks.

Posted by: spd rdr | September 30, 2005 09:32 PM

I run to the store to get a six of Sam Adams and Jeter hits a 2-run homer!

I think Michele's Charlie Brown post had something to do with it. The woman is chock full of karma and knows how to use it.

Posted by: John | September 30, 2005 09:38 PM

I've been to both Fenway and Yankee Stadium.

Yankee Stadium was like a museum. I'm sure the fact I was with my uncle and were both on drugs may had something to do with it. Pedro pitched against the Rocket.

Fenway was like a church. They played the Blue Jays; we were facing right field and could smell Canseco's steroid-drenched sweat from our seats.

Posted by: John | September 30, 2005 10:05 PM

New Season!
See ya tommorow.

Posted by: spd rdr | September 30, 2005 10:19 PM

Hey, don't dis Conseco--my daughter likes him on Sureal Life.

Pardon my excitement.

Thank you for breaking out the voodoo, it worked so well last year.

Posted by: Tainted Bill | September 30, 2005 10:23 PM

Maybe you should go back to the Voodoo.
