WHAT THE FRIGGIN HECK??????????????

A BUNCH OF STUFF; IRRITATIONS, RANTS, RAVES, COMMENTS, OBSERVATIONS, OBSESSIONS & GENERAL NONSENSE!

MANNY BEING MANNY!!! HIS CONTRACT TIMING IS BAD UNLIKE HIS HITTING TIMING. HE IS PROBABLY ONE THE BEST CLUTCH RIGHT HANDED HITTER THAT I HAVE SEEN. POOR MANNY DID NOT GET HIS 100 MILLION! AT LEAST HE IS IN THE NATIONAL LEAGUE WITH THE OUTED, BACKSTABBING, & SENILE JOE TORRE. HEY MAYBE THEY CAN WRITE A BOOK TOGETHER.... JOEY & MANNY....THE BLUE DODGER BLUE YEARS!!!! GEEZ I AM GETTING CRANKY WAITING FOR SOME APRIL YANKEES OPENING DAY BASEBALL!!!

"IT'S LIKE A JUNGLE SOMETIME, IT MAKES ME WONDER HOW I KEEP FROM GOING UNDER......." OKAY I ADMIT IT, I AM A SUCKER FOR CLASSIC OR OLD SCHOOL HIP HOP WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT. YES I LIKE ALL THE HITS BY ARTISTS SUCH AS RUN-D.M.C., DR. DRE, NAUGHTY BY NATURE, SNOOP DOGG, GRANDMASTER FLASH, PUBLIC ENEMY & THE BEASTIE BOYS ETC. I MIGHT NOT GET THE RHYMES RIGHT, CANT REALLY DANCE OR GET THE RHYTHM RIGHT BUT I CAN DO THE HEAD BOBBING SHAKING THANG RIGHT!!!

IF ANY WALL STREET MUCKY MUCK NEEDED AN OLD FASHIONED, NIGHTTIME BACK OF THE SCHOOLYARD OR PARK BEATING, IT IS THIS CLOWN. NOT ONLY DID HE SPEND A COOL 1.2 MILL TO DECORATE HIS OFFICE BUT HE ALSO SPENT OH, BILLIONS TO GIVE OUT BONUSES TO KEEP TOP EMPLOYEES!! LIKE WHERE THE HECK ARE THESE GUYS GOING TO GO AND FIND HIGHER PAYING JOBS IN THIS ECONOMY? I GUESS IT IS EASY TO SPEND WHEN IT IS NOT YOUR MONEY BUT THIS WAS OUR (TAXPAYER) MONEY. AT LEAST OLE BERNIE (THE MAD HATTER) MADOFF STOLE FROM THE RICH TO PAY HIMSELF AND OF COURSE HIS WIFE, KIDS BROTHER AND FAMILY HAD NO IDEA (YEAH AND MY HAIR HAS STARTED GROWING BACK TOO).JOHNNY BOY STOLE FROM YOU AND ME... THEY SHOULD LOCK THIS CLOWN UP IN RIKER'S ISLAND FOR A FEW WEEKS TO TEACH HIM A SMALL LESSON IF NOT STILL GOT ME A WOOD LOUISVILLE SLUGGER I WOULD LIKE JOHN THAIN TO MEET. IN FACT I GOTS ME A WHOLE LIST OF WALL STREET / BANK TYPES I LIKE TO SEE DO THE PERP WALK....

I LOVE BASEBALL AND I LOVE TO WATCH THE NY YANKEES......BUT WHAT THE FRIGGIN HECK!!!! I HAD THE SATURDAY GAME PLAN FOR THE LAST 8 OR 9 YEARS WITH 4 PRETTY DARN GOOD SEATS: LOGE BOX SEC 19 BOX/ROW 475C, FIRST BASE SIDE UNDER THE OVERHANG IN LOGE SECTION. SO I WAS PREPARED TO GET GOUGED FOR SIMILAR SEATS FOR THE NEW YANKEES STADIUM! MUCH TO MY SURPRISED I RECEIVED THE NE "RELOCATION" PACKAGE AND IT WAS $2500 FOR 4 SEATS FOR 15 GAMES ,,,OH JOY!! UPON CLOSE REVIEW THE NEW SEATS WERE IN THE UPPER DECK NEXT TO THE LAST ROW. NOSE BLEED STYLE! WHEN I CALLED , I WAS POLITELY TOLD THAT THESE WERE THE BEST THAT THEY COULD DO BUT THEY COULD OFFER ME 2- 4 FIELD LEVEL SEATS FOR ONLY $350 EACH FOR MINIMUM OF 20 GAMES INCLUDING 6 SATURDAYS.... OH AND IT INCLUDES FOOD!!! ARE YOU FRIGGIN NUTS, THAT'S MIN 14,000 US DOLLARS! EVEN IF I WAS A FRIGGIN SEVEN DAY A WEEK BUFFET EATING FAT BASTARD COULD I EAT THAT MUCH IN HOT DOGS, PEANUTS AND CRACKERJACK....OH YEAH ALCOHOL IS NOT INCLUDED. I DECLINED THE SEATS AND THE SUBSEQUENT OFFERS OF "CLOSER" SEATS IF I TOOK SOME WEEKDAY GAMES AS WELL. HECK I WILL BE WATCHING THE GAMES ON MY FLAT SCREEN TV BREAKING OUT SOME OLD SCHOOL JIFFY POP AND COSTCO PEANUTS. I MAY SHUT THE SOUND OFF AND LISTEN TO RADIO WHILE I AM AT IT BUT I AIN'T GOING TO NO MORE GAMES ( UNLESS OF COURSE I CAN FINAGLE SOME FREEBIE TIX!!!) AND THAT'S THAT....GO YANKS!!
