Spring Has Sprung A Blog

Greetings, friends. Welcome to "Piss and Wynegar," a blog determined to gleefully deconstruct the goings-on of our favorite Major League Baseball team, the New York Yankees, as they and their fans embark on yet another year of A-Rod bashing, Melky-worshiping, and fatalistic calls to sports talk radio stations after losing two out of three to the Orioles in April.

The full squad has reported to Tampa, the crack of the bat can be heard echoing throughout this great land of ours and, finally, we can turn our attention to talk of baseb -- what? [pause.] Seriously? A press conference? About what? Shit.

As you can plainly see, it's going to be a fantastic year. When talk of shooting syringes into one's ass is the hot topic of conversation on the first day of Spring Training it can only portent wonderful things down that proverbial 162 game road.

Let's all savor the moment, shall we?


In short, "Piss and Wynegar" has been created to add its collective two cents to the already overgrown world of Yankee coverage. Why? Because we feel like it. And we hope that we can add some perspective.

A simple approach applies to this site: 1) We love the Yankees, and have since we were itsy-bitsy li'l boys hitting .205 in Little League, still believing that we could "make it" in the Bigs someday; however, 2) We recognize that a lot of ridiculous shit goes on throughout the year and we are just as passionate about being critical as we are about watching the Bombers win a World Series.

In other words, while we defend the honor of Derek Jeter and the like, we don't drink the Kool-Aid when it comes to reality. Hopefully, that'll be enough to make it interesting. If not, well...we can always rely on a good ol' fashioned "Sawx Suck!" post to even the playing field.

So, come for the Yankee talk. Stay for the dry wit and cynical perspective of the authors. Welcome to "Piss and Wynegar."
