Arianny Celeste takes you into the weekend

I am totally convinced Arianny Celeste loves me, but just doesn’t know it yet. Pretty sure this is how restraining orders happen. Have a good weekend losers!

Now The Fun Stuff

One of the great things about living in New York is that sometimes you get home and there’s a homeless man peeing in the vestibule of your apartment building.

Another great thing is that when your favorite team wins a Championship, they quickly make the rounds on the late night TV shows.

Jeter, Posada, Pettitte and Matsui made an appearance on Letterman last night, and Joba sat in with the Roots on Jimmy Fallon. (I still stand by it, no matter what you say)

The Yankees celebrate the World Series with bottles and models

What does one do after winning a World Championship in the greatest city in the world? Go to Chili’s or Applebees? Of course not, you go to one of the New York’s hottest nightspots 1Oak. At least that is what Derek Jeter, Minka Kelly, Kate Hudson and other Yankees did. I went to bed.

Did you hear? The Yankees won their 27th World Series

So many bad thoughts come to mind when I think about the New York Yankees winning another World Series. We will just leave it at that.

Maybe Justin or California will supply you with a better post. But for now just deal with this video and a couple pictures from the celebration

Theo Epstein you better step it up.

A couple pictures after the jump…I bet you can’t guess which one is my favorite.

This Was a Bad Omen

Why was there a Mark Sanchez Jets jersey hanging on the wall behind Charlie Manuel during his postgame interview?

Was it there the whole time? That might have had more to do with why the Phillies lost than anything Matsui did or Pedro didn’t.

Good eye, Alex.

Nick Swisher stars as the poon hunter

Move over Derek Jeter. There is a new heartthrob on the team and he roams the Yankee outfield. Gatecrasher reports:

“A spy at Yankee hot spot Southern Hospitality tells us right fielder Nick Swisher has been getting the most love from female fans of late.”

“When the guys come in, they always go to the private back room — but not Swisher,” the regular dishes. “He’s always hanging out up front — and he definitely doesn’t mind mingling with the ladies.”

I wonder what actress/girlfriend Joanna Garcia thinks of all this?

Who knew there were Ron Jaworski impersonators

So it looks like David Anderson of the Houston Texans does a Ron Jaworski impersonation. And it is pretty damn good. I just never realized “Jaws” talked in 3 word sentences.

It is time to make a baby

Today’s item comes from Blind Gossip. It asks:

“This movie actress has been very vocal to inner circle about her clock ticking. She wants to be a bride and have a baby with her current famous beau, ASAP – not necessarily in that order. One warning to the guy: Don’t be a fool. She doesn’t really love you. This is all a game to her. She is actually telling friends and family that she thinks you’re an idiot – but a moldable, rich, famous, good-looking idiot who brings her more attention than she can get as a solo act. She will date you at the peak of your fame, and will lose you as soon as your star fades. Then again, we don’t know why we are warning him about her, when he is almost as bad as her.”

There are plenty of possible answers to this, but I am going with No. 13 of the New York Yankees. Although I would have guessed Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush, but we all know Kim is no movie actress.

Pedro Martinez looks to finally exercise those Yankee demons tonight in the Bronx. Unfortunately for him, the New York newspapers are quick to remind him of days past.

Joba Chamberlain’s mom headed to the slammer

tommy neumann — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 18:15:31 +0000

After being touted as the next great Yankee hurler, a lot of people have been wondering what happened to Joba Chamberlain. His pitching has been erratic and he is not the dominant pitcher he was as a rookie. Everyone is looking for answers as to why he has been so inconsistent as a starter and out of the bullpen, but i think I have found the problem. His mother, Jackie Standley.

On Monday, just hours before the Yankees played the Phillies in Game 5 of the World Series, his mom pleaded no contest in Nebraska to a felony that could land her behind bars for 20 years. After being arrested early in the year for selling methamphetamine, she was busted again in July for threatening a former friends life. How well would you pitch if you knew your mother was a junkie, who was a danger to herself and everyone around her?

If Jackie was in my family, I never would have made it to the big leagues. I would be in a trailer with her, somewhere in redneck country, getting high. Its quite possible that everytime he takes the hill, Chamberlain is thinking about his Mom somewhere in a crack house, doing god knows what. Now that she is going to be sentenced and will no longer be a menace to society, Joba wont have to worry as much.
