I’m prA’li looking like sour grapes with all my Yankee bashing but someone has got to put all this championship hype into the proper perspective.
If the Yankees didn’t spend the grip they did on free agent players would they be any better than Atlanta or Seattle?
Manny’s going back to Cali, Cali, Cali.
What Black Dynamite Sounds Like…
Friday, November 6th, 2009
The good folks who are pushing the flick ‘Black Dynamite’ have gifted the website several copies of the film’s original score and soundtrack.
I already gave one set to my nigga Blaze who works at my day job but never reads the website.
The second set is for Willis Still Sunsweet because he stays putting fly shit in my mailbox.
The third and final set is for the DP.com family member who wants to reminisce on what Kid Dynamite, Black Ceasar and Dolemite would sound like if they had bastard son.
From My ‘Hood To Your Hood…

As the details slowly emerge from the tragedy in Texas I wanted to extend my sympathies to the families of the fallen soldiers on America’s soil.
As a matter of fact, my sympathies go out to all U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere who fight for my freedoms here at home. Godspeed…
Damn Yankees…

It’s hard for me to shit on guys like JETER, RIVERA, POSADA and PETTITE who are products of the Yankee farm system under Gene ‘Stick’ Michael and not simply overpaid free agent freeloaders like Ghey-Rod. I was upset that Ghey-Rod was getting a ring because I felt like he didn’t deserve one since he is such a hump in the postseason.
RAFI ‘StatMan’ KAM pointed me to the Sabermetric value called the OPS+ which all the roto-fantasy GM’s are gaga over. The addition of slugging percentage combined with on base percentage adjusted to the fields a player visits gives you the OPS+. It’s a nifty little stat when you want to generate a value for players like Ghey-Rod. Barry Bonds pwns this statistic along with Babe Ruth and Ted Williams.
Ghey-Rod’s 2009 postseason has been the first one where he hasn’t sucked major ass but he still isn’t the star that some of the other less heralded Yankees were. Players like Jeter, Johnny Damon and Hideki Matsui are way cooler under pressure. When I reviewed the Ghey-Rod player card I was surprised to see that his BA (batting average) was over .350 for the playoffs.
Ghey-Rod is finally a World Series champion and I can’t take that away from him. He’ll enjoy the parade up Broadway this year and possibly several more before his career is finished. One of these days I may even come to appreciate his Sabermetric statistics (I doubt that). Meanwhile, the rich keep getting richer. Damn Yankees.
