So I feel like talking more about how much I don't like the Yankees. They just never fail to find some way to just piss me off, and make me shake my head in digust. I mean, even if I weren't a Red Sox fan, the Yankees would just piss me off completely. And they do it all the time. It's, like, their full time job or something.
Anyway, I just love how high and mighty the Yankees get when things don't happen to go their way. This was the case in their third and final game against the Red Sox in this last series. For some unknown reason, Joba Chamberlain (Joba...really?) decided to send a message to Kevin Youkilis by throwing two pitches in a row directly at his head. Oh yeah, he threw them at his head at about 99 mph each. I guess the pitches "just got away from him." Yeah suuuuure. I believe that.
So the umpires throw Chamberlain out of the game after he threw the two "wild" pitches. I actually didn't see the game, but I guess the Yankees started crying about it pretty bad. I only read the article on the net after, but I just can't believe how much the Yankees blubber about things when they are set up perfectly for them. Joe Torre usually is the worst at this blubbering. ARod is a close second in the blubbering department. And I can't seem to find exactly what Torre said about the initial ejection, but he was crying something like "the umpires just do whatever they want and they wanted to eject the kid and so that's what they did." It was something stupid like that.
So here is what the Yahoo story said when the news broke that Chamberlain wouldn't appeal the suspension:
"Torre called the ejection "ridiculous" on Thursday and remained baffled Friday. As for the history between the teams playing a factor, he said that reasoning was "stupid."
"The look on the kid's face -- he didn't know which way to go. He was waiting for me to tell him to get off the field," Torre said. "He hasn't been around long enough to have a history with anybody."
Yeah well Joe, it's not like he has to "have history with anyone" to know that the Yankees and Red Sox HATE each other. That's kinda a no brainer, don't you think Joe? Anyway, I can't wait til they play in Fenway coming up in a month or so. Should be a fun series. I hope some sort of payback is dished out, as I am sure it will be. Oh and I thought this was pretty funny, about this Joba Chamberlain dude. It's courtesy of Lozo @ "Why don't we get drunk and blog?".
Now I'd like you to meet Joba Chamberlain.
In case you don't know, Chamberlain has rules. He can't pitch two days in a row, he can't pitch for two days if he goes two innings in a game. But apparently one rule is he has to celebrate every inning-ending strikeout by pumping his fist from down low and spinning like a ballerina and screaming about it. Every. Single. One.
And not just big outs like the one he got against Boston on Tuesday. I'm talking about all of them, like the one where he got Vladimir Guerrero to strike out to end the eighth inning with one on and two outs. The score at the time? 7-1 Yankees. Chamberlain acted like he just closed out Game 3 of the World Series. Fair warning. That's a slide show of that game that could be the gayest thing ever loaded onto YouTube. Just wait for it to get going, then just go to the 1:46-1:57 part to see what I'm talking about.
Well that's about all that is on my mind today. OH--I watched the movie The Ex last night. Waste of my night. I don't recommend this one to ANYONE. It was pretty freakin lame. Scratch that, it was a total waste of my time. I don't usually consider many movies that I see to be a complete waste of my time. There is usually something good I can find about every movie that I watch. Not this one. Zach Braff doesn't make greatest movies in my opinion. Between the crappy ending of Garden State, the unbelievability of The Last Kiss and the pointlessness of The Ex, I think maybe Zach should stick to Scrubs. Cuz Scrubs is one of the greatest and funniest shows on TV, hands down.
One more thing--this movie was called The Ex, right, but who exactly was supposed to be the ex?!? They had Jason Bateman as the Ex (I guess) but all he did with Braff's wife was have sex ONCE. No romantic history to look back with fondness on. No messy break up between the two. No one holding onto old feelings for the other. Just a one night stand type of thingy, I suppose. And Bateman was really really creepy about it actually. Hardly a relationship if you ask me.
Anyway it was just really really pointless and not even that funny. I am so sick of funny movies that aren't funny. It's all I've been watching lately.
