So yesterday, some friends and i had a round table discussion on a very serious topic...

Why are the Yankees so really really ridiculously good looking?

I mean, i always wonder why other teams hate us so much. Sure it has something to do with being the most storied franchise in the history of sports, a monument park that reads like the who is who of baseball legends, the 26 Championship rings, having one of the best, if not the best, farm system in the majors, getting to play in New York City- the greatest city in the world and selling out almost every game, our roster of future legends, oh and something to do with the payroll too, but there was one more reason and i couldn't quite pinpoint it for a while. And then suddenly, like a bus going 90 miles per hour in the wrong direction, IT HIT ME! They hate us because we are beautiful, honey!! :-D

I mean, come on! Its pretty much common knowledge that we have hands down the best looking team in the majors. No other team compares. I'm talking guys that have a general wide consensus of being good looking, not guys that just a few scattered fans have managed to get adjusted to (Randy Johnson need not apply....lol, i kid i kid :-D).

Let's take a look, shall we?


Derek Jeter.

Is there any young girl in the tri-state area who hasnt had dreams of marrying Derek Jeter? I mean, at one point, i was convinced EVERY girl, her mother, and her grandmother, wanted to marry Derek Jeter! GeezLouise! Thats a lot of good looking mojo right there!

Alex Rodriguez.

Oh man, A-Rod's goodlooking-ness is just out of this freaking world! He's the definition of really really really ridiculously good-looking. Zoolander himself doesn't stand a chance! I mean, even those who hate him have to admit that the man is sure blessed with some good genes....and beauty products! Ha ha. Yes, A-Rod is a pretty boy, but thats ok with me and every other woman who fantasizes about him as much as i know they do! lol.

Andy Pettitte.

This is the hotness that means the most to me!! *grins* :-D

Robinson Cano.

I have to say...its that smile that won my heart over. =)

Melky Carbera.

Kyle Farnsworth.

(cant find a good big picture of him)

Andy Phillips.

Carl Pavano.

Yeah yeah, i know he's not our favorite crayon in the box, but man is he hot!! Yes, admit it. Carl Pavano is total hotness ;-)

Johnny Damon.

*Feel free to suggest more really really ridiculously good looking Yankees i may have missed.

Now have you ever seen a team with more really really ridiculously good looking players? I thought not!

Disclaimer: You should only take this post half seriously. Ha ha. I'm just having fun!

Now on to important matters =):

The Mets.
I watched the Phillies/Nationals game yesterday of course rooting against the Phillies. Very excited that they lost and man did the Mets win!! John Maine pitching a no-no into the 8th..19 hits??? My question is, what happened to this Mets team over the last week. Where was the enthusiasm they played with yesterday over the last week??? Anywhoo, lets just hope they win today and the Phillies lose. Then this can be all over. I dont have the best feelings for a tie-breaker between those two...

As for our Yankees...
Important ALDS news jacked from Yankees.com...

NEW YORK -- The Yankees will open the American League Division Series on Thursday in Cleveland, a result of the Red Sox's selection of a longer scheduling option following their clinching of home-field advantage during the playoffs.

Boston selected to play the eight-day Division Series 'B' after their victory over the Twins and the Indians' loss at Kansas City. The option leaves the Yankees to play Games 1 and 2 at Cleveland on Thursday and Friday before returning to New York for Game 3.

The selection has ramifications on the Yankees' projected pitching rotation for the ALDS. Right-hander Chien-Ming Wang and left-hander Andy Pettitte will pitch New York's first two games as expected, and the Yankees continue to hope that right-hander Roger Clemens will be healthy enough to start Game 3 at Yankee Stadium.

Without an extra off-day, though, the Yankees cannot follow through on their idea to bring back both Wang and Pettitte to pitch in Games 4 and 5. Instead, a fourth starter -- possibly right-hander Mike Mussina -- will enter the equation for a possible Game 4, while Wang or Pettitte could come back to pitch a potential Game 5.

I'm still just glad we don't have to play the Angels in the first round.

The postseason couldnt get here quickly enough. I wish we could skip today's game and just get right to it, lol. I feel the best about this year than i've felt about our previous years. Let's hope my gut feeling is right =).

Let's Go Yankees!!!! :-D
