Sometimes You Can't Hate the Yankees

Willets Point Feb 13 2006 10:44 PM

Steinbrenner stars in weepy tv movie.

Nymr83 Feb 13 2006 10:51 PM

you can ALWAYS hate the yankees.

metirish Feb 13 2006 10:54 PM

Good for the kid, very cool of him.

Zvon Feb 13 2006 11:15 PM

Very kool of the old general. Yea, that kid has learned about karma at a young age.

Rockin' Doc Feb 13 2006 11:54 PM As much as it pains me to say it...

Good of Steinbrenner to recognise the youngster's personal sacrifice. Good show by both of them.

Can't the Team Plane go down already

metirish Feb 14 2006 12:10 AM

Dude if the team plane went down who would we root against?, plus can you imagine all the freaking movies they would make about the MFY?...

Elster88 Feb 14 2006 08:58 AM

irish, you have to get over hating the Yankees so much. You're embarrasing me. You make Bret look right.

metirish Feb 14 2006 09:05 AM

No I won't get over it, and I don't care who I embarrass and Bret is never right.

Centerfield Feb 14 2006 10:55 AM

Ok...how does a 13 year old save $1,000? When I was thirteen I think the highest total I ever reached might have been, oh, $30 or so. Did newscarriers get a huge bump in pay? Has the going rate on lawn mowing/leave-raking spiked? What gives?

Johnny Dickshot Feb 14 2006 10:57 AM

This doesn't make me hate the Yankees any less.

seawolf17 Feb 14 2006 11:03 AM

Definitely from the tooth fairy. Or drug sales.

Edgy DC Feb 14 2006 11:10 AM

]Ok...how does a 13 year old save $1,000? Bar Mitzvah?

metirish Feb 14 2006 11:22 AM

Bar Mitzvah? -- in Arkansas?

Centerfield Feb 14 2006 11:28 AM

Perhaps I'm too cynical...the $1,000.00 (kids never have $1,000.00, they have $827.42, they have $924.86, they NEVER have $1,000.00)...the way it conveniently found it's way to Steinbrenner's desk...if I had to guess, I would say it's more likely a publicity stunt than it is a feel-good story. And for the record, 83 is right. You can always hate the MFY's.

A guess. Jews in Arkansas. Latest data I found shows .1% Jews in Arkansas as of 1990. By the way, you look for demographics related to Judaism on the internet, you'll find a lot of nasty shit. One hate site I stumbled across included the subtitle, "This is not a hate site." If you say so, Herr Goebbels.

Elster88 Feb 14 2006 02:55 PM

Maybe I'm just selfish, but what idiot donates a grand to their school when they're 13? What a loser.

seawolf17 Feb 14 2006 03:14 PM

Who would you rather give a thousand dollars to? A non-profit organization, or George Steinbrenner? Hell, I started twitching when I bought $30 in Yankee Bucks for my MFY fan friend's 30th birthday.

Elster88 Feb 14 2006 03:16 PM

Why not keep it? He's 13 years old. _________________ This post had the designation 65) Ron Hunt

metirish Feb 14 2006 03:20 PM

]And where's your Guns N' Roses set list? Elster is like way too busy complaining about stuff to make a list.

Elster88 Feb 14 2006 03:27 PM

I'm not complaining. Just stating that normal 13 year olds spend their own money.

ScarletKnight41 Feb 14 2006 03:59 PM

My almost 13-year-old gave a portion of his Bar Mitzvah money to the American Jewish World Services. But it wasn't $1,000.

Elster88 Feb 14 2006 04:26 PM

I should clairfy, I don't think there's anything wrong with a kid donating money. But it sounds like this kid saved up $1,000, which I'm guessing took a while, and then just decided to give it all away. Keep it man. It's not your job to support your school. Throw them $25.

KC Feb 14 2006 04:34 PM

So some silver spooned son of a ship builder who has a long history of being an obnoxious ass who happens to own the most wretched team in the history of organized sports is gonna let some kid who is dumb enough to part with four figures of hard saved dough come see the Yanks play and give him a jersey that they make in China for prolly $4 and I can't hate the Yankees? I don't think so.

Willets Point Feb 14 2006 04:41 PM

Much anger has this one.

KC Feb 14 2006 04:49 PM

No need to single me out, there's plenty enough hostility on this board. Some of it truthfully blunt, and a lot it much more subtle. Trust me, I don't hate too many things -- but the MFY's are pretty close to the top of my "hate" list.

Elster88 Feb 14 2006 04:51 PM

Yo KC. Make your Natalie Portman pic smaller.

KC Feb 14 2006 04:57 PM

Fits fine on my screen, Mr. Mayor.

Elster88 Feb 14 2006 04:58 PM

I knew if I said that you wouldn't like it. You are very touchy when people tell you what to post. But you're right, no one died and made me king of pictures of hotties.

KC Feb 14 2006 05:07 PM

I don't recall anyone telling me what to post, so I don't know what your touchy beef is - or really care either. My screen resolution is set at 1024 x 768, this is 2006 afterall, and that's a pretty fair minimum to expect on a desktop and Portie fits just fine.

Elster88 Feb 14 2006 05:13 PM

Touchie beef? I don't have one. And I don't care if you don't care.

MFS62 Feb 14 2006 06:09 PM

WOW! "Two men enter. One man leaves" Anyone have the key to the steel cage? We need some excitement while we're waiting for news from Spring Training. Go at it, guys. :) Later

KC Feb 14 2006 06:40 PM

Alrighty then ... Willet thinks I'm angry, Elster88 beefs about my being touchy but denies having a beef, and MFS62 wants us all to get down in the squared circle for a steel cage death match. I barely post much, and have been spending less and less time here. Carry on, enjoy.

Elster88 Feb 15 2006 09:00 AM

KC. All I said was that you get touchy if people tell you what to post. I'm not angry because of it, I don't have a beef because of it, I'm not touchy because of it. I was merely stating it. Please continue to post and enjoy yourself.

KC Feb 15 2006 03:15 PM

E88: >>>KC. All I said was that you get touchy if people tell you what to post.<<< Dude, you're weirding me out. Do you like to be told what to do on an internet board by a stranger? At what point does it become touchy? I can't respond at all, a bit, not too much, just a little, more, a little more than more, go completely ape shit everytime someone mentions my name or post content? And yes, now I'm aggravated - I have to watch my BP - I hope you're happy.

Elster88 Feb 15 2006 03:58 PM Edited 2 time(s), most recently on Feb 15 2006 04:24 PM

I don't know how else to say it. I have noticed in the past that you don't like being told what or how to post. So when I said to shrink the picture, I figured you would say something slighty snarky, like you did with "Mr. Mayor". But I agree with you that this is a normal reaction, and like you said, a stranger telling someone what to do is annoying. Right off the bat, I actually pointed out that there was no reason for me to try to tell you what to do. There is nothing to get aggravated about here. Watch that BP. If you got weirded out or aggravated over my innocuous posts in this thread, then you might actually die if someone ever curses you out or something.

Centerfield Feb 15 2006 04:11 PM

Without taking sides, I just wanted to point out that KC is a really, really big guy. May I suggest a new strategy? Let the wookie win... And to be clear, I'm not calling KC a wookie. Because KC is a really, really big guy.

Elster88 Feb 15 2006 04:13 PM

I doubt this will come to fisticuffs.

KC Feb 15 2006 04:28 PM

Like most wookies, I sometimes have trouble conveying to people that I'm joking - especially with a keyboard. Wookie Wilson would make a good screen name.

Willets Point Feb 15 2006 04:31 PM

Because KC is a really, really big guy. How did the characters from Mutts get into Star Wars? PS - Wookie Wilson, I love it! PPS - I wasn't singling KC out, but he maybe he already knows that. I can never tell when he's jokey pissed and really pissed.

ScarletKnight41 Feb 15 2006 04:42 PM

That wookie has WAY more hair than Kase!

Centerfield Feb 15 2006 04:48 PM

Oops. Didn't even see the Mutts characters when I posted.

Edgy DC Feb 17 2006 02:08 PM

Head-scratcher of a headline, that can be really fun if you take literally.

Willets Point Feb 17 2006 02:17 PM

BRAAAAAAIIINNNNNNSSSS!!!

MFS62 Feb 17 2006 03:29 PM

Folks, we're losing the sight of something very important. We have many members with young children, or children on-the-way. One day the parents may look to the CPF for guidance about how to raise them properly, and we shouldn't mislead them by posting threads with titles such as this one. Let me make one thing perfectly clear. It is always proper to hate the Yankees, no matter what the circumstances. This has been a public service announcement. Later

Now that is a child who will be brought up properly! LOL! Later

metsmarathon Feb 17 2006 05:02 PM

wait...; where's this offending natalie portman pic? or do i need to rmpl?

metirish Feb 17 2006 07:09 PM

So anyway this kid just got named ABC Evening News 'person of the week', seems like a nice kid.
