The New York Yankees’ Mark Teixeira on repeating …[bracketed] quotes were removed by MLB.com but retained hereunder for accuracy:
“Because we’re the [gosh darn] Yankees,” Teixeira said. “If you get complacent, it’s going to be a tough year for you. Once you taste a championship and taste that victory, [gahhhhleeee] it just makes you want it even more. You realize it’s everything you’ve ever hoped for.”
“We have to feel that way every single [fudgin'] season,” Teixeira said. “We feel like we’re just as capable of defending our [dang-gum] championship as we were winning it last year. We have a great team, the core group of guys are back [and a bunch of black guys are here, too!], and hopefully we all get a little bit better [I mean those boys fly!].”
“[Shoot,] I don’t know how many times I told my wife how nice it is I don’t have to worry about the future [while she's ironin' my jersey and sweepin' the porch],” Teixeira said. “The last couple of years, it’s always been, ‘Where’s my family going to be? Where are we going to live? [Where'd ya put my dang-gum fishing pole, Mama?]‘
“This year, it was really, ‘What [funny-soundin'] restaurant are we going to go to? Where are we going to take the kids [where't don't smell like pee]? What shows are we going to watch?’ I think that was a nice change for my family [I mean, how much catfishin' will an 8-year-old take before he grows himself a set a' gills?]”
“Everyone kind of tries to tell you … ‘You have to change something, [quit starin' at the sun! poop sittin' down!], but be yourself,’” Teixeira said. “Whoever it is, they’re in this room for a reason [even that Robbie Cano, I suppose]. You have talent, they’ve performed on the highest levels. When you come to the Yankees, there’s more eyes watching [kinda like gettin' lost in the swampy place where the hill people are, blinkin' in the trees, don't go there!], more people that care — which is great. You go out and play the game the way it’s supposed to be played.”
“For us, I think it’s ‘Let’s keep doing what we’re doing,’” Teixeira said. “That was our motto last year during the playoffs — ‘Keep up the good work and let’s keep working hard and playing good baseball.’ [My other motto was "an apple a day keeps the doctor away, Alex!"] That’s what we’re going to try to do this year.”
apparantly it turned the yanks season around. guess i could keep the glass half full and take it as a compliment.
would rather hate tex for it though. i cant stand that tool. one of those annoying dicks on a team i would hate.
only way him or I ever become yankee fans is if he is playing CF for them.
If he dont run hard on the crack of the bat he dont score. As a Yankee fan I gotta love the hustle.
Party at Mets4′s house!!!!
They need a 5th arm or a left fielder.How’s his eyesight?
Is this Kev or Mets??
Tex must be really fucken annoying in the dugout. Shelley Duncan like annoying.
MRS.KEV86???? Damn,I hope Kev43 isn’t a bottle baby
I found her last year Babe. Nice replay.
I am sure he is no where near as annoying as a 2nd baseman that drops a routine popup to lose the game. Or a guy that balks twice per start. Or a manager that is laughing about shit in press conferences when the team is losing. Or a med. staff that cant get anybody back on the field.
Dear Dad,this is for you.Love Kev43
He’s seems like the type that would cover his test paper if you were trying to take a peak.
I dont think so, Tex is a team player. I am of the opinion that ya get a peek…unless you are a sox fan.
Couple of these figure skaters have me thinking massage parlor.
hhaahhahahahahaha….Quit pervin on them little girls, squints.
Couple of these figure skaters have me thinking….
Did that broad that got gobbled up by an Orka feel any pain? What a way to go.
ahahahahahhahahahahahahahah
Hey Kev congratulations on fatherhood. I hope all is well with Mrs86 and “43″.
I see having a kid has mellowed you out.
Its a WILD animal. I feel not one bit of sympathy for her. Although I do for the kids that had to watch that shit. When ya swim with something called a “KILLER” you dont get to say, “why’d I get bit” or killed in this case.
Man, the Met staff can’t even identify pink eye in Frankie. I give up-

Seesm like it would be like poppen a tic tac but wasnt sure. I dont feel bad either. They call them killer whales for a reason. Gambled and lost.
Thanks Lev.
K-Rod might be blind by opening day.
Ham Porter: Benny, why’d you bring that kid?
Benny Rodriguez: Because he makes nine of us.
Yeah Yeah: Yeah yeah, so does my sister, but I didn’t bring her along!
Sandlot Kids: Squints! Come on Squints!
Ham Porter: Come on Squints. Squints!
Timmy: Come on, Squints, come on!
Scotty Smalls: [shouts] Come on, Squints. You can do it! Pull through, bud!
Benny Rodriguez: Come on, man, come on!
Yeah Yeah: Yeah yeah, he looks pretty crappy.
Tommy: Squints! Come on man!
Bertram: My God, he looks like a dead fish.
[Squints opens his eyes and smiles]
Sandlot Kids: *What*?
[Squints kisses Wendy]
Wendy Peffercorn: [muffled scream] UGH! LITTLE PERVERT!
Timmy: Oh, man, he’s in deep SHIT!
Lasorda: “When I played a quality start was 9 innings and a win”
blind by opening day-mwahahahahahahahahahahahha
Funny J but I said that to my wife when we saw it on the news. I said it is a wild animal that they sell stuffed animals of and act like Shamu is some cuddly creature. This is evidently the third time that whale has been involved in injury or death. Shamu, The Killer (drop the whale) should be great for business. Maybe he’ll have a home at the new Coney Island freak show. Where’s 4Ever?
“quality start”- that was brought to you by your friendly, neighborhood, stat guy too. The innovations they have brought to the game have been just great.
are you kidding me…
“On this day, there were rosy cheeks, blue lips and at least two pink eyes. Frankie Rodriguez was absent because of an ongoing case of conjunctivitis, finally diagnosed on Wednesday. Time release prevention and recovery. His right eye was infected when he arrived in camp last week. Some thought he merely had changed to new, redder contacts lenses. He said then his problem wasn’t pink eye. Now it is.”
Sandlot- good flick J (Until the Benny the Jet scene at the end-weak).
Francoeur said he is hitting 27 HR. That’s fine as long as he only drives in 60 runs like JD and then the Mets will have a RF worth $21 mill just like the Sux.
Talk to you guys over the weekend.
LETS GO METS GO! (Manuel is annoying me early)
Later
A good friend of mine has a daughter with scotty smalls older sister. Never met him, but my friend says he is a good, down to earth kid. Has done some Law and orders as well and I think he was in “black hawk down”
Be good Kev, and again, Congrats on the healthy addition.
You and 4Ever. I’m digging him right now,. They win 91 games and he wins comeback manager of the year when they win the east. Nah, I’m just fooling.
The tom guiry (scotty smalls)kid was born in Trenton but if I am not mistaken the family lived in The Bronx for the kids’ formative years. I know that my buddys baby mama has a heavy NY accent but like I said, I have never met smalls so i cant confirm that he is a Yankee fan, but I would think that conclusion could be drawn.
$21….hahahahahahahhahahahah
Movie is a classic.
yeah, yeah, great flick.
“It became clear that an immediate agreement was not going to happen”-ahahahahahahahahahahahahhaha

yeah.yeah-ahahahahahahahahahah
sorry. This is the “immediate agreement” article-

How long before 250 wins becomes the magic number for a pitcher to get into the Hall?
Very soon. Then Mussina and Pettitte go in. By soon I mean within 10 years when these idiots realize that there will probably never be another 300 game winner.
I’m not sure you were around when we talked about it but CC, who has the best shot of the active pitchers, has to average 17 over the next 10 years to get there. Wins don’t matter anyway. It’s all about FIP.
The only way Crawford is not a Yankee to start the 2011 season is if he is moved at the deadline,to a team besides the yankees , and there is no extension negotiated.
AND, he will not be moved to the yankees. So if they want him they better hope an extension is not in place if he is traded. Like I have said before, they will burn this city down if the rays trade him to NY.
FIP….fuckin JOs
I dont know if I was involved in the discussion HERE, but I know I have looked into what it would take for CC to get to 300 and it aint no easy row to hoe.
You know I wasnt calling you a JO, right? I dont need the “sarcasm disclaimer”
JO’s-ahahahahahahahhahaha
And CC had the best shot looking at it objectively by age. I didn’t even consider a guy like Lincecum who has a long way to go. Let him stay healthy for 7 or 8 years and we’ll talk about it then but it is crazy that there is 1 guy with a long shot’s chance at it right now.
That disclaimer wasn’t for you before and I knew you knew it. I put that in for the Sri Lankan computer wizards Lib attracts here with all his de-motivational posters.
Ya gotta break 150 wins before 30 years old to even start looking at having a chance. Until ya do that, its not even worth talking about, and thats JUST a chance.
