Yankees Sign Barack Obama???
Ah those Yankees. The gift that keeps on giving.
As small market teams are forced to reduce payroll, layoff thousands of employees and squirm at what the future might bring, the Yankees have signed CC Sabathia, AJ Burnett and now Mark Teixiera to inflated contracts that only they can afford.
"This is great for baseball...Great...I promise." An annonymus baseball exec said.
But it wasn't the baseball moves that have Sippy Momo in shock.
It was news from sources in Washington DC and Kauai that the Yankees have agreed in principle to a 4 year-$200 million contract with President Elect Barack Obama to become their President of Baseball Operations.
While Obama could not be reached directly, sources have him quoted as saying:
"It's always been my dream to be apart of the great Yankee organization. It wasn't about the money. My name is Barack Obama and I promise you that it was not about the money. Instead, it was about the great history and tradition: Roger Clemens' and Jason Giambi's passion for needle injections; Johnny Damon's Benedict Arnold routine; Alex Rodriguez's cheating on his wife with a Toronto Stripper and then leaving her for Madonna and the good people of Kaballah; and Hank Steinbrenner pastramiing his way into the media spotlight with his charming prose. This organization has been the epitome of class and honor for years. So today, I, Barack Obama, will resign from my post as president of the United States of America to tend to my duties with the New York Yankees. My name is Barack Obama, and I support this message."
Can it really be?
Obama to the Yankees?
Does the White house at least get two compensation picks?
Baseball is really starting to get dumb. Can you even call this a Competitive sport anymore?
My stomach hurts.
Merry Christmas.
Vaya,
