The man with the Yankees tattoo

What do you do when you and one of your friends argue about who is a bigger Yankees fan?

Naturally you get a Yankees tattoo on your face right? The answer to that question is Yes if your name is Gregory Pillows.

"my friend Jonesy and I like the Yankees a lot. Just last week we got in a heated argument on whether Bernie Williams CD is one of the top albums of all time. I said yes and he said no. That got us into a big fight." said Pillows

So why the tattoo on your face?

"It obviously is the only way to prove who is a bigger fan, which is now me."

Does he think so?

"he said it was the dumbest thing he has ever seen. He is clearly jealous."

Probably.

What do you do to show how big of a fan you are?


A-Rod sells his apartment in New York City. Pictures Here

The Yankees material girl Alex Rodriguez is in the news yet again.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the New York Yankees third baseman / DH has sold his condo on the West side of Manhattan for $8 million. Alex reportedly made a cool 2+ million in just one year of owning it.

We can't tell if A-Rod was a smart seller, or if there was a dumb buyer out there.

Either way, rumor has it that the new owner will keep the A-Rod self portrait and stature along with all of the tacky furniture.

We obtained the pictures above that may or may not be authentic.


Tigers land Fielder - 2 fans really upset

The Detroit Tigers have signed Prince Fielder to a ridiculous 9 year 214 million dollar contract. Even though the Yankees were not in the running, and already have a first baseman, 2 fans who run the youtube show pinstrypes4life85.com are infuriated.

"The stupid Tigers get Fielder and what do we get? Kuroda? Gimmie a break." One rambled from the "studio", which is just his uncle's garage, yesterday when news broke.

"Yankees haven't spent a dime all off season. I would have liked to see them at least get Fielder. I thought we would have made a play at Pujols too. Dumb. Just dumb."

"Think a this. We grab Fielder, put him as DH. When A-Rod retires we train Fielder to play third. Woulda been genious."

"You should be running that team."

"I should. Cashman's a joke."

"Thank you I agree."

The talkshow seems to have only 2 followers, the guys who run it, and is just them going back and forth complaining all day.

Meanwhile, the Tigers have found a replacement for the injured Victor Martinez who hit .330 with 12hr's and 103 rbi's last year. Fielder hit .299 with much better power numbers - 38 hr's and 120 rbi's.


Yankee vendor feels need to release his 2011 tax return

Mitt Romney just released his tax return to the public and it has created quite the stir in politics. It appears that because of Mitt's investments, he is only subject to a 15% tax on capital gains, which works out great for him.

You knew that as soon as this story broke, you would probably hear about a similar story involving a Yankees related figure.

Gregory Quicks of the Bronx, is now under the gun for the same type of ridicule. Gregory spends his spring through fall selling cotton candy in Yankee Stadium. He makes a cool 20k in the process, but it is a vendor in Fenway that has created a stir regarding Gregory's tax return.

"I want them to look wicked closely at Gregory's return" said Billy Bailey a fellow cotton candy vendor at Fenway. "I know that he didn't report all of his sales of the cherry flavor. Not fair, not fair at all."

Billy's proof is pretty much linked to a thought in his head and really doesn't have any credibility, but he is going to stop at nothing to make sure that return is looked at.Billy also goes on to claim that Gregory also didn't report an illegal bet that he and Billy had last year in the playoffs.

"He should report our illegal bet to the authorities." said Bailey "On second thought, he probably shouldn't, cause that could get me in trouble."

This story has brought the struggle between cotton candy vendors to the forefront and has given it the attention it deserves.

Let's see if Gregory releases his documents.

Happy trails Jorge

After 17 years as the Yankees cathcer, Jorge Posada officially retired from the game Tuesday.

"Today is a very emotional day for me," the teary eyed Posada said. "Ever since I was a little kid, I remember that all I wanted to do was become a Major Leaguer. I became a member of the New York Yankees, and that's all I wanted."

Posada will certainly be a first ballet hall of famer. He joins other Yankee greats who have crouched behind the plate, Yogi Berra, Bill Dickey and Thurmon Munson.

Posada leaves the game with a career .273 average, 275 homeruns, 1065 rbi's and 5 world series rings.


Vlad the Impalier to New York? A definite maybe

Talks of the Yankees potentially maybe signing DH Vladimir Guerrero have continued to maybe possibly be something that potentially could or could not happen.

Along with the Yankees, the Tigers could be potentially interested or not. The Tigers could use Guerrero to replace Victor Martinez, who is out for the year with an ACL injury. Or, they could not.

Last year for Baltimore, Vlad hit .290 with 13 homeruns and 63 rbi’s. With Jorge Posada retiring, the Yanks are in need of a DH and Guerrero would be a perfect fit possibly, if he signs here and happens to fit in perfectly.

If the Yankees sign Vlad, we will let you know. If they do not, we may continue to say that they are interested just to fill space. All jokes aside, this could, potentially, be a great pickup. Also, it could backfire.


Yankees in 3D?

Technology is changing faster than ever and one man is trying to take advantage of it by adding a little bit of his own.

Meet Kyle Buttski, a man with a plan. He has been coming up with idea's since he was four years old. For example, you may have heard of his upside down swing set or his coffee mug that sits on your car engine to keep it warm on the way to work. Yes, Buttski is always inventing.

His newest idea revolves around watching the Yankees in 3D.

"This is my best idea yet." said Buttski

His plan is for everyone at a Yankees game wear 3D glasses and see things in a whole new way.

"It's genius I tell you...pure genius." he continued. "You can watch the game in 3D. How awesome is that?"

The only flaw to Buttski's idea is that even without the glasses, everyday life is already in 3D.

"I don't believe it for one second. You are idiots and are just trying to steal my million dollar idea."

Do you think it will work?


Accountant: 401K is the number of strikeouts Pineda will have

The deal to bring young stud pitcher Michael Pineda to the Yankees in exchange for catcher Jesus Montero should be finalized today with both pitchers expecting to pass physicals. Pineda, a 23 year old flamethrower with incredible potential has fans excited.

Most people think of a 401K as a retirement plan. One man, shifty accountant Steve Krastenberger, has come up with something different.

“401k is the number of strikeouts he’ll have! Mark my words, put it in the bank. I got something of a man-crush on him, he’s that good!”

The single season record of 383, set by Nolan Ryan, has stood since 1973. In his rookie season, Pineda struck out 173 batters in 171 innings.

“Meaning it’s possible.” Krasteberger said. “That’s one an inning, give or take, I never did like numbers. That means if he pitches 401 innings and fans one batter an inning, he’ll pretty much have it.”

401 innings would be a stretch. If Pineda has 35 starts, and goes 10 innings in each start, he would still miss 401 innings by quite a bit.

“Trust me, the kid can do it. I’ve played with him in my X-Box game. He’s really, really good. I also created a player designed after me. He’s also very good in the game. Bats cleanup too. Look out Teixeira.”

Will Pineda be the stud many believe?


Brett Gardner gets the big paycheck

Brett Gardner and the New York Yankees have agreed to a $2.8 million, one-year contract avoiding the silliness that is salary arbitration.

Gardner was asking for $3.2 million earlier in the week and the Yankees said he wasn't worth that offering $2.4 million back.

Gardner led the Yankees with biggest head on the team, least amount of hair and most steals.

With this deal in place, Gardner will be able to eat something other than Ramon Noodles.

"The guy was living one step above a hobo with a salary only around 500k." said one guy who mows lawns in Manhattan. "I thought I would do a good business, because I don't really know of any competitors. Turns out there is a really good reason for that. There are no lawns to mow. I shouldn't have invested my life's savings. Oh well."

The Yankees must now settle arbitration with Boone Logan and Russel Martin.


Man watches presidential debate thinking Mitt Romney is a type of glove

Art Tafwatter was upset as he talked to one of our reporters. He had just sat through the 2 hour Republican debate last night on CNN and came out more confused than when he went in.

"I kept hearing about this Mitt Romney thing. I thought it was some type of new glove. Not one mention of baseball in that debate last night. Not one. What's hup with that?"

Have you decided who you are going to vote for?

"Vote shmote. I feel duped. Anyone else think a Mitt Romney was a new kind of glove? Like made of fiberoptics or something. I'm mad. Wasted 2 hours. Coulda been watching the House Hunters marathon on HGTV."

It's probably a good thing Art isn't going to vote.
