New Favorite Site Alert

Warning: If you are a child of the 80s, you won’t be able to tear yourself from the awesomeness of this site (the “OMG – I TOTALLLLLLLY had that!” factor alone is worth it).

This Saddens Me

So, I’m watching the Emmys (which are quite entertaining this year – it’s been awhile since I actually enjoyed an awards show) and checking in with Entertainment Weekly’s live blog, and saw this poll after Aaron Paul and Bryan Cranston won their (seriously much-deserved) awards: People. I would never recommend a show I couldn’t whole-heartedly [...]

Awesomest Discovery of the Year

So, when I was visiting with the Trudo family in Iowa a few weeks ago, Tonya informed that her local station was playing old-school Casey Kasem American Top 40 countdowns (!) on Sunday mornings. While I was there, we heard the top hits from August 15, 1985 – complete with the long-distance dedication of the [...]

Just Remembered This One Today

Maybe one the more iconic/entertaining videos of the 80s. It was one of my favorites as a kid:

In Which I’m Done With Michael Kay

So, I’m watching the game just now and, as is the new trend, the wave starts going around in the 8th. It wasn’t in an especially offensive moment as Wednesday’s game, as the Yankees were batting with a 7-4 lead, but still. Anyway, the camera keeps drifting to it, like “Seriously?” and Kay and Singleton [...]

I Can’t Even Think of a Good Post Title Because I’m So Bothered By This

There is so much wrong with this article, I don’t even know where to begin. Has there EVER been a “stigma” about reading a book – gasp, alone! (since most people, you know, read books in groups) – in public? I feel like this was written/influenced by some gung-ho e-reader enthusiast trying to convince themselves [...]

Do You Know What Today Is? It’s Our Blogiversary. Blogiversary.

The Yankee Chicken and I are proud to announce that it’s been nine years since we first took to the blogisphere. Like, if this were a sitcom, we’d force out a lame plot so we could look back at our favorite moments. Oh, hell, we don’t need a lame plot when I control this thing, [...]

Yankee Stadium = A Pot of Gold? I’d Say So

So, tonight we celebrated Jen’s birthday as only the Season Ticket Crew can – with better seats than our usual upper deckers. We ended up in the Field level, behind first base and it provided not only excellent views of the diamond (we never get to see stuff from the first base side, so this [...]

HOPE Springs Eternal

I have to say, whoever thought up HOPE Week for the Yankees is awesome as hell. Even though the stories/footage of the events get me choked up every. single. time., it’s seriously heartwarming to see and puts everything in perspective. It’s great to know the Yankees actually are human and look like they’re enjoying themselves [...]

Come Again, Weather Channel?

Because when I think isolated thunderstorms on the weekend, I think of mean drivers.

Hey, My Boys!

Over here! Yeah, hi! I just wanted to let you know that I think the show is adorable and that you capture a non-girly girl really well and with a great sense of humor to boot. That said, a woman is totally capable of replacing her own shower head. One does not need a penis [...]

Yes, This Mentality Still Exists

So, during Friday’s game, I was sitting in front of a guy we’ll call Captain Obvious (who may actually be a season ticket holder, which sickens me a bit). He kept trying to spout Yankeefied wisdom to his friend, attempting to pass off opinion as fact, like all the hateable people who think they’re diehard [...]

Because Much Like Mrs. Hart, This is Gawjiss

Had myself a bit of New Jersey adventure this weekend, as Rana and I headed down to Atlantic City to see Kris Allen perform at the Borgata (side note: it’s exactly two years ago this weekend I was last in AC, at the Borgata, no less. We did not get caught in a hailstorm this [...]

Shut Up, Forbes

I have a really hard time swallowing this story. Not just because the Red Sox allegedly have the No. 1 fan base in sports (gag), but because when you look at numbers Forbes says they’re basing this theory on, it doesn’t hold up. Basically, they say they measured on home and away attendance, merchandise numbers [...]
