Birthday Bash Flashbacks! Royals and Yankees

BHGM's second birthday bash is Sunday, April 29th! That will still, technically, be the weekend, so let's all celebrate! This is a perfect opportunity for me to bring up a lot of fun posts from the last couple years. I'm going to skip the obvious ones, such as Manny's greatest play of all time, which has evolved into it's own separate entity on the web, (Google: "greatest play of all time.") Anyway, for the next week or so I am going to throw out some surprises like this, in addition to our regular postings. You lucky readers!

Here's two posts I wrote last year that are perfect for now. The first one is entitled, "Take a look; you'll never see a worse team than the Royals." I wrote a lot about the Royals last year, but this is probably my favorite short quip at them.

Next is "Yankees SP, Friday in Review," where we looked at potential starters that the Yankees  should acquire. This is especially interesting given where these guys actually ended up, who we did get before the trade deadline last year, and the current situation of our pitching. For added fun, I've added some Wonder Years style updates to the post that really hammer those points home. You can pretty much skip the rest of the post, and just read the bold, I was kind of long-winded last year. Anyway, the best part of this post is the video at the end. I'm just going to go ahead and repost that part right here, as you're all apt to not actually click on any link I post.

Kids these days. They really like to set up basketball rims by their trampolines and dunk like Michael. Here's the thing - jumping too high can sometimes be a bad thing. Things can happen when you jump over the rim that shouldn't happen. By the way, when we're injured, can we not lay motionless and moan? What happened to walking it off? It would also be nice if this kid's friends hadn't run away and abandoned him to the elements. However, the cameraman laughing at him is perfectly acceptable behavior.
