That is lame. Let them have their fun--that's very funny. The Yankees have to be the most uptight team in the league given how they nazi-fy the bleachers.

The legend grows. I love this kid. I'm sure now you'll hear everyone go "How could he do that to a kid?" Grow up. What the hell is that kid doing asking for a Yankees autograph anyway?

Fuck that kid, and fuck his busy body parents.
I hope he gets molested in a park bathroom by a carnival worker.
By the way, years ago at an LA Kings event, I asked Mark Hardy to autograph a picture and to write "Gretzky Sucks" on it (this was when the Whiney One was on Edmonton). He laughed and said, sure. He wrote it in big block letters and signed it.
I still have that picture.

Clearly Shelley Duncan likes Vinny more than he likes this kid.
That kid is a little fuckin' bitch. What a pussy...what kind of a Red Sox fan is he if he can't appreciate that.

The kids 10. While what Duncan did is funny and no great shakes in the scheme of things, neither is a 10 year old whining about a shot at his favorite team.
Whats funny is if Coco Crisp did the same thing to a 10 year Yankee old fan you would be trying to get Balls to sic the ACLU on him. Pinstripe blinders at work again!

You're an idiot. That's about the only constant. Shelley Duncan has the right to tell a kid that Boston sucks. But keep hating on the Yankees to prove you are a "baseball fan."

Yes, this truly does belong in BASEBALL LOL:
36-year old Sacramento River Cats team captain Lou Merloni lead his team to the championship and earned MVP honors in the Bricktown Showdown between the Pacific League champs and the International League champion Richmond team.

I watched some of that game. Here's another LOL - Tommy John was the color commentator. Lets just put it this way - there is a reason he is a Yankee alum, and not one of the 45 guys who have a role in the TV booth.

Apparantly, it's ok for Bronson Arroyo, Doug Mirabelli, and Jason Varitek, but not for Shelly Duncan. Faggots

I either did not know, nor did not remember, that the infamous Dick Williams was arrested in 1990 for "publicly masturbating" while he was in a hotel for a fantasy camp.
Google up the stories. There were complaints of an elderly man "frantically masturbating" right for all to see.
That is NOT why I ordered his book "NICE GUYS FINISH LAST" or some such on Amazon for a penny recently. I was interested - I want to see if he addresses his love affair of sorts from afar with George, around the time Billy and George were publicly feuding.

Yeah, in various tawdry tales i stumbled across while reading about this Dick Williams thing, that one kept coming up as well. Cone had no shame. In the book "WORST TEAM MONEY CAN BUY" a story was alluded where during a game a Met who was rehabbing an injury walked into the room housing the hot tub, and Cone, who should have been in the dugout or the bullpen with the rest of the pitchers not in the game, was humping a chick in the tub.

Just the name Dick Williams (my step Dad's name...and coincidentally enough lived in the same apartment complex in Anaheim in the 70s) got my thinking about serial managers.
Did anyone manager more teams than Dick Williams?
The answer is, I don't know. Williams has six and I was surprised it was that few.

FOXNEWS.COM HOME > U.S. Former Big Leaguer Pitches Athletic Supporter on YouTubePHOENIX — Mark Littell believes he has a better way to protect himself, and the former major leaguer will risk his manhood to prove it.
In a video posted on YouTube, Littell is perched on a wooden pallet bracing himself as assistants aim the barrel of a pitching machine between his legs. On cue, the machine fires a baseball that smacks Littell right in the — well, you know — with a resounding whomp.
Littell stands and flexes his muscles, unfazed.
"Yes sir folks," he says into the camera. "The Nutty Buddy: It's mean, it's tough, and it's right there for ya, every time."
Littell, 54, says nine seasons with the Kansas City Royals and St. Louis Cardinals helped him design an athletic cup that's ahead of the competition. The challenge now is to convince ball players that a good cup is worth the extra money.
"All people have to do is try it," Littell says.
The primary advantage to the Nutty Buddy is that it's anatomically correct, Littell says, which makes it more comfortable. Unlike traditional shell-shaped cups, the Nutty Buddy is wider, deeper and full of curves.
At $19.95, the Nutty Buddy costs about twice as much as a typical athletic cup. They come in macho names: "Hammer," "Boss," "Hog" and for really big men, the XL-sized "Mongo," a salute to the ogre-like character in the movie "Blazing Saddles."
"I'm a hick," Littell says with a chuckle when asked about the names. "I'm from the country."
Littell now works around the minor leagues as a pitching coordinator, and the idea for the Nutty Buddy came several years ago in the dugout.
"I asked my pitchers, how many of you guys don't wear cups? And half of them raised their hand," he said. "So I went off on a little mild tirade at the time."
Littell made his first prototype with a moldable plastic for splints and two golf balls. He says he's now sunk $40,000 of his own money into refining the model and applying for patents. His company has sold about 3,500 of the cups through the Web.
Bike Athletic, an Atlanta company that claims to be the originator of the modern jock strap, has taken a look at the Nutty Buddy.
"The only drawback is that it's such a drastic evolution" in shape, says Steve Kesterson, a senior merchandising manager for Bike Athletic. "Is it a decent cup?"
Littell has a simple answer: Look at the video. Will other companies stand by their product like Littell has with Nutty Buddy?
"Let's get the CEO of every cup company," he says. "You put your cup on, and I'll put my cup on, and we'll see who's left standing."

I recall Justin making note of the Nutty Buddy some time back. I can't recall if it was here or on www.section39.com.

Probably over there. I never heard hide nor hair of it.
EDIT - reading the POST at lunch, same story is on page 36. Ran via the AP wire again today, so they are kicking it up all over again.
I missed it first go-round.

I saw that headline on ESPN.com and clicked on it. Then, when I saw that cock fighting is legal in the Dominican Republic, where the video was filmed, my reaction was, "Big fucking deal."

What makes this even less a story is Pedro was "busted" on this before and pretty much laughed it off then.

It's a nonstory. They were doing something legal. What's the next headline? "Shelley Duncan, Melky Cabrera Have a Beer?"

Even though he contributed greatly to the Angels 2002 WS victory, Spezio is a drunk driver and treats his friends badly: He has a warrent out for his arrest in the OC right now: CARDINAL BASEBALL PLAYER CHARGED WITH HIT-AND-RUN CRASH AFTER DRIVING UNDER INFLUENCE OF ALCOHOL AND ATTACKING FRIEND NEWPORT BEACH – A former Angels baseball player was charged yesterday with hit-and-run and driving under the influence of alcohol after a night of drinking in Newport Beach. Scott Spiezio, 35, Irvine, is charged with misdemeanors for driving under the influence of alcohol, driving with a blood alcohol of .08 percent or more, hit and run with property damage, aggravated assault, battery, and assault. If convicted, he faces a maximum sentence of two years in jail. A $10,000 warrant has been issued for his arrest.
At approximately 12:20 a.m. on December 30, 2007, Spiezio is accused of leaving a bar in Newport Beach after spending the evening drinking several vodka drinks. He is accused of getting into his 2004 BMW and attempting to drive home while under the influence of alcohol. Spiezio is accused of speeding, cutting across several lanes, crossing through the oncoming traffic lanes, driving over a curb, and crashing into a fence. The crash knocked down a fence pole and blew out the front two tires of the car. Spiezio is accused of getting out of the car and fleeing the scene on foot. The defendant is accused of running to his Irvine condominium complex and going to a friend’s condo, who lived in the same complex. While his friend attempted to clean up the defendant, Spiezio is accused of vomiting in his friend’s room. When the friend made a comment about the vomit, Spiezio is accused of becoming angry and attacking his friend, punching him repeatedly and throwing him against a wall.
Deputy District Attorney Vanessa Woods is prosecuting this case. www.orangecountyda.com/home/index.asp?page=8&recordid=786LOL!!!
