Mariano Rivera And The New York Yankees Love To Laugh

Written by Ashley Burns / 05.13.13

The New York Yankees are currently in first place in the AL East with the second-best record in all of baseball, so as soon as they have that best record in baseball status locked up – and maybe toss in a few highway robbery trades as well – all will be well in the universe, according to Yankees fans. One of the luxuries of being “business as usual” for baseball’s highest payroll is that Yankees players and fans can once again laugh, not only at the fans of teams beneath them in the standings, but also at their own miseries of previous years.

For example, on Friday the Yankees visited the Kansas City Royals for a quick three-game sweep to extend their winning streak to five games, but because Kauffman Stadium is where Yankees closer and first ballot Hall-of-Famer Mariano Rivera ended his season a wee bit early last season while shagging fly balls in warm-ups, his teammates decided to poke fun at the injury with the “No Mo Zone”.

Whoops

If you haven’t seen this video, I’m not going to spoil it for you. Click play, watch it, then experience what is either the mute button or an NESN having a crisis of the soul during a Red Sox/Orioles game. The absolute best part is the deadpan video description:

Nick Markakis takes strike one.

He sure does. This video is part of what I can only assume will be a never-ending series of guys grabbing boobs in public, because if you’re sitting next to your girlfriend for more than twenty minutes, chances are you’re going to (or at least want to) touch her boobs. I don’t know why we’re wired like that, but we are. Maybe it’s our 21st century equivalent to marking our territory. At least we aren’t pissing on you, ladies!

I think the public boob grab can be all right as long as you don’t make a face like that one weird soccer fan and you keep it to a minimum. It helps if you make the NESN guys laugh so hard they have to mute themselves for two minutes. Somebody listening at home is wondering what the next pitch is probably going to be, but nope, they aren’t going to find out because those nice young couples enjoying a summer night at Fenway Park are sexually active. (spoiler alert: another sh**ty fastball)

‘Young Jack Thriller’ Has A Theory

Written by Ryan Walsh / 06.14.10

ASYLUM POLL: Should the media be reporting on the Delonte West rumors?

If you’ve recently been away from this series of tubes, you may not be familiar with all of the hullabaloo surrounding Delonte West. Luckily for you, Young Jack Thriller is here to give you the lowdown on the rumors, which have yet to be confirmed or denied. I have no idea what the story is with that left eye, but it definitely makes the video all the more enchanting. The clips from Friday don’t hurt either.

After hearing Young Jack’s perspective on the rumor, I’m ready to give him a spot as one of the greatest orators in the history of the world. This guy could probably stop that oil leak in the Gulf just by staring at it. Hilarity ensues after the jump. (Warning, the language is definitely NSFW) Read the rest of this entry »
