What drives a man to his limits? Derek Jacques…and the seduction of Ronan Tynan.
You know, we Yankee fans can get to taking ourselves too seriously, so we’re fair game (more on this in a second, though). Rudy Giuliani is running for president as a New York Republican, which in this day and age, is like hanging a “kick me” sign on your back. He can take the heat. Michael Kay and Roger Clemens can also defend themselves. George Steinbrenner? Not so much so, anymore, but he’s got a mountain of money, and I’m sure he can have Howard Rubenstein write you a stinging press release as a rebuke.
It’s when you decide to disrespect Ronan Tynan that I get riled up.
...You see, the Cleveland Indians haven’t won in Scott Raab’s lifetime—and suddenly that seems like a grand idea. A fine tradition, one that should remain unbroken, at least for the remainder of his lifetime. Stay classy, Cleveland!

1. Sparkles Peterson Posted: October 11, 2007 at 07:46 PM (#2572037)1st inning: .280/.365/.435
2nd inning: .318/.383/.538
3rd inning: .278/.350/.454
4th inning: .306/.382/.502
5th inning: .249/.323/.393
6th inning: .338/.415/.529
7th inning: .290/.359/.445
8th inning: .289/.371/.464
9th inning: .258/.331/.416
So maybe the 7th inning horse & pony show doesn't actually confer a competitive advantage after all. But Yankees fans are still soulless bastards and Scott Raab is not eligible for any awards in the field of ############# as long as any of them exist.
whoa, is this true?
It changes nothing.
I agree. Raab is still a jackass for taking a cheap shot about his appearance. Maybe he should take on Stephen Hawking next.
edit: didn't think so...
how about deucebaggery
If the Yankees start having Stephen Hawking sing "God Bless America" during the seventh inning stretch, the line to complain starts behind me.
Eh, he gets those Alda time.
I mean, he took two back-handed shots at Tynan, but ummm... I think the two shots he took -- making light of a smaller than usual head and Tynan's singing -- were hardly the point of the post.
Jesus Christ, his head is TIIINY!
I think that would be the greatest thing ever.
But even he didn't murder people just for being poor. A fine bunch, these guys.
No one is allowed to criticize a singer if that singer is a double amputee.
I wonder what would of happened if they actually won.
Too bad Max Cleland never cut an album.
I see, so he's cheering against the Indians because of one Esquire writer who may/may not be an Indians fan. I also noticed he brought in "the bugs did it" defense. Who exactly's supposed to stay classy here?
Hey, Lieutenant Dan has a band!
Yeah, but it's hardly Ferrell.
Yeah, but it's hardly Ferrell.
You Swit-talking bastards always beat us to the punch.
You're taking this just a little too Farr, PepTech.
The question should be whether the Yankees should be allowed to pull these alleged shenanigans, and only secondarily whether Tynan is an adequate singer. The fact that he may be an amputee should have nothing to do with it.
Yeah, but it's hardly Ferrell.
You Swit-talking bastards always beat us to the punch.
Get that Burghoff of me!
And Cleland's a triple-amp isn't he?
