Fire Him!

5Willie_Randolph.jpg

After Carlos Beltran looked at a third strike to end last year’s Mets, we didn’t think it could get worse.
It did.
The best we can say about this year’s Mets is that the shlong they sucked in the sky reserved for baseball folding acts–the 1951 Dodgers, the 1964 Phillies, the 1978 Red Sox–is flavored with Yankee subterfuge.
For three years we’ve been saying the obvious: the Mets are led by a Yankee in Mets clothing. Willie Randolph, as those gazillionaires in [...]

David Wright goes all gay on us.

We always knew David Wright was white bread personified, but we didn’t know he’d stoop (along with fellow baseball chuckleheads Trevor Hoffman, Vernon Wells, Lou Piniella, and Tim McCarver) to dine with the butcher of Baghdad at the White House. Organized by creepoid journalist/war apologist/right-wing whack job George Will, the squarest life form in the Universe, these baseball greats ate roasted lamb–signifying, we assume, all those dead Iraqi babies–and signed each other’s menus. Oh the intellectual ideas crossing the air [...]

Another dumb idea from Alex Rodriguez.

ARodPurse.jpg

The only reason we have any use for Alex Rodriguez (pictured with his steroid bag) is that he messes with Jeter’s head, and the more messing with Jeter’s head, the better off the world will be. Now comes word that Rodriguez, like Madonna and Bette Midler and Jerry Seinfeld and a billion other celebrities, has a new children’s book coming out, called “Out of the Ballpark.”
Oh, the creativity. We picture A-rod burning the midnight oil, hunched over his computer writing [...]

Great News: Jeter Loses MVP!

Derek Jeter-3.jpg

After tolerating the carnage in Iraq, the agony in Darfur, the assasination of Lebanese cabinet minister Pierre Gemayel, Recharger is thrilled to report a glimmer of justice: Yankee captain Derek “you made me drop the ball, A-Rod” Jeter has again lost the MVP award. This makes perfect sense. While Jeter’s numbers are respectable, his puerile behavior towards teammate Alex Rodriguez has been constant–blaming A-Rod for every dropped ball–and his attitude towards fans–having hecklers tossed from the stadium–despicable. Meanwhile the Yanks, [...]

Pacino to Beltran: asshole…

Pacino and Beltran017.jpg

Though our rage at Carlos Beltran’s pathetic at-bat–that cost the Mets the NLCS and a shot at the World Series–leaves us sputtering with apopletic incomprehension; we will resist the urge to to morph into a sadistic Little League coach screaming, “Get the fucking bat off your fucking shoulder, you fucking fuck! You can’t fucking hit the fucking ball if the fucking bat is on your fucking shoulder!”
Instead, hoping to capture our shock, our disdain, our disgust at Beltran’s Kenny Rogers [...]

Reason #2 To Love Steinbrenner

bulldozers.jpg

NOT CONTENT TO HARASS LOWLY TICKET SCALPERS, (see Anyone Who Starts a Wave Gets Beheaded) Yankee potentate George Steinbrenner is now going after those who play in his stadium’s backyard—literally.
Construction workers have transformed Macombs Dam Park, directly behind the famous stadium, into the dust bowl from hell. Trees have been chopped down, bathrooms are shut, and tennis players must use portable toilets. Worse, heavy machinery has created a noise and dust nightmare for local residents. Evil empire—er, Yankee president Randy [...]

Anyone Who Starts A Wave Gets Beheaded.

beheaded.jpg

AS THE YANKEES HUFF AND PUFF THIS WEEK NOT TO BECOME A BRONX-VERSION OF THE PERENNIAL-CHOKE ARTISTS ATLANTA BRAVES, George Steinbrenner is going after loyal fans who resell even two tickets. The no-fan-is-to-insignificant-to-screw Bombers just handed a life ban to a season ticket holder who—get this—resold tickets to two games. Steinbrenner—a felon banned from baseball for two years in 1974 for making illegal campaign contributions to Richard Nixon—banished a fan who twice resold tickets at StubHub.com, an online ticket broker. [...]

Jeter = Asshole

Jeter.jpg

Check out Daily News columnist Mike Lupica’s piece on the big chill between Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez. Lupica recounts an incident when Jeter and Rodriquez were going for the same pop-up, “Jeter finally bumping into A-Rod and the ball falling to the ground…the look Jeter – the one who was given the error on the play – gave A-Rod when it was over.” According to Lupica, Jeter considers the Yankee infield his “turf.”
In high school I played soccer with [...]
