Just watched A-Rod hit a single to drive in Jeter who had hit a double. Teixeira flew (flied?) out between them. Here's where they rank by salary:
1 Rodriguez, Alex $ 33,000,000 New York Yankees
2 Ramirez, Manny $ 23,854,494 Los Angeles Dodgers
3 Jeter, Derek $ 21,600,000 New York Yankees
4 Teixeira, Mark $ 20,625,000 New York Yankees

Oh yeah, real fair.
Which is what this a-hole in college, named 'The Bag' said one night. Three of us left a bar late one night, and come upon some guy whose only crime was that we were drunk. Bag threatens to kick his ass or something, and the guy reaches into his trunk and pulls out a tire iron, or golf club, or something. The Bag starts yelling, 'Oh yeah, real fair! You've got a club!' and politely declines to further the hostilities.

Not to ruin the poetry of this beautiful story, but The Bag may have actually said, 'Oh yeah, *that's* fair! You've got a club!'
ReplyDeleteThat was a Bumblebee nickname. Cute, but it stings a little. That's the trouble with nicknames, you forget the real name. Like the guy we played foose against, "Potsy" Weber.
