Another appropriate Skeletor quote:

“You are all aware of the price of failure.”

Jeter: O Rly?

Looks like something spooked him

Jeter doesn't look much better.

The only magic number now is #34

He doesn't have that lean and hungry look

he has that “I’ve been off the juice and I’m losing weight” look

Not that it’s affecting his play at all…dammit

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.

Seems to be faster. That would make me likee.

I wonder what John Lackey must think about how long Sosh left Juan Rivera in the playoff lineup?

This is embarrassing

Really? This is the best we could come up with? During an exciting world series?

Notice how Girardi’s lips are jutting out?

He has braces. Why you ask?

His daughter needed to get them, so he said he would too.

Personal insults after the WHINING over the umpiring gives credence to the front runner nonsense.

Seriously, Rev, this was not just dumb, but unfunny.

What happened to the dude who was comparing obscure independent bands and songs to our players? You’re better than this.

A rabid anti-dentite!

If you're so "embarrassed"

you can deactivate your account here any time you wish.

No, he went over to Pinstripe Alley to whine about it in a fanpost.

Now I'M embarrassed

I guess he needed validation so badly he wanted yankee fans to agree with him. Comedy is danger. This particular bit was juvenile and more than a little bit funny. Not only does he physically resemble Skeletor, the fact that he is the leader or an organization that most of us consider evil completes the comparison.
.
I live out here in the evil empire and I can tell you that there was only one Yankee fan to whom I pointed out this comparison who did not at least smile, if not outright laugh and he was an IT guy (sorry Stirrups). That is because they, unlike our fellow Halo fan Lee, have a sense of humor and are willing to laugh if it’s funny and don’t take everything so seriously.
.
Also, there was nothing about “braces” or “lips” in Rev’s post. He looks like Skeletor because of his gaunt, prominent cheek bones (giving that skull-like appearance). Newsflash — Skeletor doesn’t have lips…or braces.

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.

by Moondoggy on Nov 3, 2009 3:54 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Hey! Who is spreading the rumor that IT guys have no sense of humor?

After all, I appear to be the only guy here who sees the laughs in the fact that ‘Lee Steven’s Potential’ is defending the association of a Yankee with a cartoon, at the same time that it has become known that a Yankee has made a cartoon out of himself by commissioning multiple representations of himself as a mythological jackass!!!

I wonder what John Lackey must think about how long Sosh left Juan Rivera in the playoff lineup?

Unbelievable

Rev, I could never have your job. Too infuriating. I can only assume you take your fair share of blood pressure medication.

The only magic number now is #34

Whine?

Next on the Red Sox site:

Does Mike Scioscia look like the letter Q when he carries an umbrella?
 Vote in our poll.

We’d be furious if any team resorted to personal attacks on looks.

It might have been mildly funny before the series. After, it looks like sour grapes.

by Lee Stevens' Potential on Nov 5, 2009 12:46 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Dude, other blogs mock Sosh's look all the time.

A’s / Mariners / Rangers at a minimum.

We survive. Thrive,even. And we don’t go over to those blogs and sniffle about sour grapes.

I wonder what John Lackey must think about how long Sosh left Juan Rivera in the playoff lineup?

by Stirrups on Nov 5, 2009 5:17 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Yes, whine.

Although I’d probably use the world “bitch”

AH... SO YOUR POINT HERE IS...

…that you care how fans of other teams view my blog.

Thank you for caring. I sure as fuck don’t.

by Rev Halofan on Nov 5, 2009 11:56 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Are you related to Skeletor or something?

Because you really took this to heart.

By the way, your post only added to the comedy that is this photo.

Funny!!! Thanks Rev!!!

I always say he reminds me of Sling Blade, but Skeletor is more fitting!

Jeff Biggs mentioned this place, this thread, and the Vlad thread.

I think he was going to talk about it more in a couple of segments, I’m not listening anymore.

I've got nothing.

Skeletor

Totally called this one…thanks for the validation! He looks like death! Maybe he’s sick….or just feeling the effects of managing in the bronx zoo. Go Phils!

by Gilbone on Nov 3, 2009 3:30 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

He looks kind of like he's sick, to me.

Unhealthy.

Maybe it’s just the pressure of working for the Steinbrenners.

THIS… IS… ANAHEIM!!
