"The Yankees and the Red Sox have buzzards flying around the Pirates stadium. Someone hits a triple they swoop down and grab him."

That was pretty funny... not as good as his Philly rant though.

Is this what passes for stand-up comedy in New England?

Yikes.

Hey, they you are.

Good to see you again.

Wasn't there a thread you were saving or something like that?

This is just the most obvious unoriginal stuff... same jokes farkers were making the second they won. Also too much Jimmy Fallon commentary and self-amused laughter.

Did he use the line about being born on third base? Or about how it's like rooting for the hous in blackjack?

Because those are wicked witty.

Also, who are Opie, Anthony and Bill Burr?

He was funnier in Perry Mason.

"The Brewers have a girl with braces playing shortstop" isn't bad stuff at all.

Bill Burr is very funny.

Opie and Anthony are like Howard Stern....except funny and non-repetitive.

It would be tough to top that tirade.

Except they have a former All-star (2007 I believe) manning SS.

Meh, this is how haters deal with the frustration. No Yankee fan would be serious if they ever claimed this was a Cinderella team. It's just a rant, and some of it was pretty funny. Especially the part about the buzzards in Pittsburgh.

Think of it this way. I've lived in Seattle for 10 years now. I grew up rooting for the Yankees in upstate NY. You know what the biggest achievement in Mariners history is (according to most fans and local media)? The 1995 ALDS win over the Yankees. You might think the 116 win season with an ALDS victory over the Indians might be, but that season is all but forgotten. I know because I always get "remember back in 95 when we kicked your asses?" anytime I wear my Yankee hat.

So all Mariner fans wax nostalgic over a first round playoff series win. That's it. I'm not being snarky or a jerk here either, but that has got to be frustrating as hell for that to be the high point of a lifelong Mariners fans' existence.

Just sayin' I understand where the hate comes from.

the dude laughing loudly in the background killed it for me. i only got through about 2 minutes then had to stop it.

Hey Einstein, why would you expect Mariners fans to bring up a series vs. Cleveland when you have a Yankee hat on?

Downtownkid wins.

Yankees fans are typically very obnoxious. As long as they're from New York, I'm generally cool with them. I met a girl who was a Yankees, Steelers, Lakers fan. I told her she was a poser. She said it was because that's who her dad liked. I wanted to tell her that her dad's a wank too.

I do enjoy Bill Burr and used to be an O'n'A listener. When Them and little Jimmy + guests are on..they KILL!

Some people say the same thing about Larry the Cable Guy and Carlos Mencia, in fact probably the same people, oh well... what can you do.

No Duke basketball and Red Wings? I would have bought you a beer if you actually called her dad a wank.

Oh, no! Somebody's not respecting our team's hard fought World Series victory just because we bought two aces and a slugger in the offseason, to pile on the rest of the stars we've bought every year for the last decade. Don't they know what a gritty, fun-loving bunch the 2009 Yankees were? Boo-hoo!

/please. Suck it up. I didn't even listen to this guy's comedy skit, but anyone who cheers for a team that just buys talent the way the Yanks do has to be able to take it when they're criticised for it.

Bill Frist: You guys truly thing this stuff is clever or funny? Thsi is like sub-Mad TV sub-Dane Cook writing...

Why don't you tell us whom you think is funny so that we may reciprocate the overly dickish and pretentious criticism?

"Oh...you think [insert comedian here] is funny? How very juvenile and pedestrian of you, hurrrr."

Debeo Summa Credo: Suck it up. I didn't even listen to this guy's comedy skit, but anyone who cheers for a team that just buys talent the way the Yanks do has to be able to take it when they're criticised for it.

I just implied it was wasn't very funny...it was pedestrian comedy. I guess it's funny to someone who hates the the Yankees, but that kind of makes conditional. Good comedy should be funny to everyone. For example, the Onion Article (new window) that announced the Yankees signed everyone in the majors was funny. This wasn't.

You know what, Burr nailed it. The Yankees aren't "scrappy" or lovable unless you're a Yankee fan.

You know what else? I don't give two shiats. The goal is to win a championship, not win friends.

See now, that's what I don't get. How does baseball afford these obscene salaries? It's not like baseball pulls in the revenue like it used to -- hell, baseball has pretty much turned into a 2nd class sport.

And besides, at least with football I can somewhat justify those gross salaries -- what with football players pretty much destroying their bodies by age 35 and then lacking an income thereafter. They really need a large income for the short stint that they're actually active. But baseball? Why? You barely need to be in shape to play baseball.

/just don't get it.
