Yankees still suck.

Chicago Fan on July 13, 2010 at 8:10 AM

I won't speak ill of the dead, so I guess I don't have anything to say at all.

Today was declared a state holiday in Massachusetts

Peter F on July 13, 2010 at 8:26 AM

My thoughts are with Yankee fans.

(by thoughts I mean punches in the face)

somewhere billy martin is laughing until he pees his pants.

scary tyler moore on July 13, 2010 at 8:47 AM

Joe Torre, too, STM, but yeah, especially Billy Martin.

Calzone.

They should bury him with Nixon.

I feel it would be improper of me to gloat.

Ems on July 13, 2010 at 9:29 AM

Ugh, now I'm going to have to deal with particularly smug Red Sox fans all day. -_-

Anne in MA on July 13, 2010 at 9:46 AM

I know you're not supposed to speak ill of the dead, and we're all supposed to say something about "baseball characters", but instead I'm going to say "fuck you, George, and good riddance". And fuck you, Yankees.

Ditto Fnarf. Criminal in both the literal and figurative sense.

Karlheinz Arschbomber on July 13, 2010 at 10:47 AM

He was a great soccer player.

Will in Seattle on July 13, 2010 at 10:51 AM

Fnarf, I think that thought only applies to dead humans, so no worries in this case.

Anne in MA, are they adding extra mast to the flagpoles in Boston so the flags there can be raised today?

Peter F on July 13, 2010 at 11:03 AM

I will piss on his grave and dance a jig beside his head stone.

heywhatsit!? on July 13, 2010 at 11:44 AM

Peter, Boston has more class than that. That's the kind of thing the Yankees would do, though.

Fifty-Two-Eighty on July 13, 2010 at 12:00 PM

5280, I grew up around Boston, and find your use of "class" to describe Red Sox fans hilarious.

Classless as they may be, Red Sox fans, unlike Yankee fans, still qualify as having souls.

Peter F on July 13, 2010 at 12:17 PM

@4 FTW.

wilbur@work on July 13, 2010 at 12:19 PM

My mama said if I couldn't say anything nice, to keep quiet.

From the middle of a bunch of pathetic fawning comments on the Yahoo sports blog:

100 Virgins await him at the gates of Heaven:
Unfortunately they are all male computer geeks.

Karlheinz Arschbomber on July 13, 2010 at 2:01 PM

Y'know, Dan, any time you do a post where the subject line is a celebrity's name and the post itself is simply 'Dead,' (with the link) my first thought is "Neidermeyer! Dead!"
