The Yanks got a stay of execution last night. After watching the six month soap opera I thought back to when the Yankees returned to prominence in the late '70s. The undisputed leader on the field was #15, catcher Thurman Munson. Born with a scowl and a body that somewhat matched his on field stance -squat. He was a football player in a baseball uniform, a no-nonsense knock you on your arse kind of guy. And I thought WHAT WOULD THURMAN SAY? all expletives deleted
About the new stadium- It stinks , who is the idiot that separated the box seats from the rest of the crowds. What's with the barco-loungers and the waitresses? And the catwalks where the **** are the catwalks? and the fences , they made it a little league field. What are those things all the fans are talking into?
About CC Sabathia- what the ****? tuck that shirt in and where are your stirrups? You look like a clown and a guy as big as you, throw the fastball , see if they can hit it

About Swisher- get your head out of the clouds son and wipe that smirk off your face, this ain't no country club
About A.Rod- Girardi, get this guy in the lineup. Reminds me of Reggie except he chokes in the big game. Tell him to loose the hoodie and get his head in the ******* game

About umpires- instant replay? bunch of blind guys need help. Did you see that horse**** call in the Braves game. What a disgrace? About managing today- Are you ******' kidding me? there's more coaches in the dugout than players. See the ball , hit the ball , aint that complicated. Double switches, lefty/righty, OPS, day/night records it's all a crock.
About Jeter- great ballplayer , would have been an improvement over Bucky Dent. How bad is that ankle really broken?
About the future of baseball- no more expansion, before you know we'll be playing home and home series in Moscow. Costs are ridiculous, how can an average Joe bring the family to a game? and what happened to doubleheaders? Equipment is a joke, batters go up to the plate looking like goalies, how do they run? Players egos are so bad that they make Reggie look humble. And the commisioner , nice guy from the heartland but and absolute dupe for the owners. About Brian Cashman- back in my day he'd be kindly called a jerk. Give me a guy with a backbone like Steinbrenner- I miss George.
And anyone that remembers the late '60s fall and eventual rise of the Yankees will forever miss the guy with the occasionally lopsided mustache , the surely surly, but nonetheless immortal Thurman Munson.
