Yankees Clinch (... the AL East)!


Congratulations to the New York Yankees on clinching the AL East last week! We at YankeesButts couldn’t be happier! The above pic was snapped at the stadium as the celebration began, and while we can’t be certain exactly which Yankees Butt it is, to the trained eye, it appears that Nick Swisher is about to grab a bottle of bubbly and go to town on his teammates! Ahhhh, grown men in goggles, dousing each other in alcohol, surrounded by cameras. Is there anything more homo-erotic sexier? Smells like the Post-Season!

As much as we’d like to do a crazy-eyed drunken Irish Jig in response to the Red Sox’s late-season implosion, you gotta admit, this week has provided some intense, stressful, and incredibly entertaining baseball! And if Red Sox fans needed another reason to hate the Yanks, they got it, watching the B-Team blow a 7-0 lead and serve the Rays an extra-innings victory, courtesy of an Evan Longoria walk-off, line-drive, home run! Bucky Dent, Aaron Boone, & Scott Proctor?! A special YankeesButts thanks goes out to the Baltimore Orioles for keeping the curse alive by way of Robert Andino! Like good ol’ Teddy Roosevelt once said, “Do what you can, with what you have, where you are!”

Tomorrow’s ALDS opener will deliver a pitching duel of epic proportions: SABATHIA vs. VERLANDER! Fingers crossed for Yankees Butts through the 4th week in October!
