    The series with four billion home runs.

    A-Rod hits one billion of them, but 900 million of those come when the games are already out of hand, the stat-padder.

    Alright, here's the deal. I had this whole story written out and decided to scratch it and just go with the following.

    I've followed the Yankees for the last 14 years. Can't necessarily call myself a hardcore fan (the Jets are enough for me), because I wasn't necessarily a fan of baseball. But I do know the general rules of the game. In recent years, I've tried to play closer attention. This year, I've gone out of my way to watch every game and would like to learn more about strategy, stat comprehension, pitching, etc. with you guys help.

    Therefore, I just want to put it out there that if and when I do make un-educated observations about the game/stats, to understand where I'm coming from.

    Anyway, here's to learning from you guys, and I look forward to engaging in good convos wit'chall. And as always...GO YANKEES!!!!

    Rule Number 1. No matter what, always believe whatever Don says.

    Please dont. If you start letting Don pour poison in your ear, I might as well consider you a Sawx fan.

    Rule Number 2: Before reading any of Cappy's posts, have a compass and protractor ready.

    Playing Texas is like playing Mahwah when I was in HS. You love to play them, pad the shit out of your STATS, you get to fuck around on the bus ride home. Cop a blowjob after the game...

    Great game tonight. Burnett wasn't great, but he was good enough.

    Don't mess with Tex's ass.
