Yep, That's an Ass

Congrats to the Yankees for clinching. And also to whoever that is for deciding to face the locker while changing.

An Interview with the Pork Chop Guy

Evidently the pork chop wasn't the only thing he stole last night -- yes, a FOX Sports microphone was also on the list, as you'll see in this video. First, Pork Chop Guy interviews Bizarro Jon Gosselin, who manages to bring strip clubs into the conversation. Then, watch as PCG polishes off the last bites of his stolen pork chop. Finally, after being told that he was going to be a YouTube sensation, PCG's final words: "I'm gonna sell t-shirts."

Would I buy a Pork Chop Guy t-shirt? Maybe. Would I try to get one sent to Kim Jones? Absolutely.



Thanks for reading The Couchwarmers, your news source for everything Pork Chop Guy-related.

Attack of the Hungry Rando

Kim Jones of the YES Network was talking about all the wonderful new food options at Target Field, such as the always delicious pork chop on a stick, when all of a sudden, a Yankees fan crept up behind her and OM NOM NOM NOM. Michael Kay sounds repulsed, but in my opinion, he's just jealous that someone else got to Kim Jones' porkchop before he did. Here's the video:



UPDATE: Major League Baseball made me take it down! I'm important! Hooray!!!

Robbie's Got an Itch

And now for your viewing enjoyment, here's a video of Robbie Cano going to town on himself. Happy Mother's Day.

An Open Casting Call

This Wednesday afternoon, the Yankees play the Orioles at Yankee Stadium at 1PM. Games like this one are always a celebration of the unemployed, as the crowd is always made up of people who don't have anywhere to be on a workday afternoon. For this reason, tickets to these games can typically be found at much lower prices than most others, as people with jobs (as in, the majority of people who can afford Yankees season tickets) are usually looking to unload tickets to games like this. Add this to the fact that the opponent is one of the worst teams in the league, and you've got a ticket price perfect storm. Last I checked, you could get a bleacher seat for $3, upper deck behind the plate for as little as $5, or a 200-level ticket for as low as $13 -- a non-working man's special if I've ever seen one.

Respect for Robbie

Quick question, and don't cheat (or look at the post title or picture on the right): who is 1st in the American League this season in batting average, slugging percentage, runs and OPS, and 2nd in the AL in home runs?

I'll give you a clue. He plays in the AL East. Okay, I'll give you another clue. He plays for the Yankees.

No, it's not A-Rod. Definitely not Mark Teixiera. Not Derek Jeter, either. The answer is Robinson Cano. Admit it...Cano wouldn't have been among your top 15 guesses. A second baseman who is considered no better than the 4th or 5th best position player on his team? Please. Well, it's time to give the guy some respect.

Bronx Bomb-ers

Here's a story that seems to have fallen through the cracks: A few days ago, MTA workers attempted to play a notification at some Metro-North stations advising people of train service to Yankee Stadium. Instead, they played this bomb threat announcement:

“Due to police activity, all train service has been suspended indefinitely. The police department has asked that everyone immediately leave the train station and maintain a distance of at least 300 feet from railroad property.”

If that sounds familiar, it should. A similar announcement sounded in Boston's visitors' locker room about two weeks ago:

“Chan Ho Park has asked that everyone immediately leave the locker room and maintain a distance of at least 300 feet from stall #4.”

How Do You Say TMI in Korean?

This may be a few days old, but we thought that it was too good a video to pass up. You see, it's not just ex-Yankees like Hideki Matsui that the Couchwarmers poke fun at. Current Yankee Chan Ho Park, how have you been feeling recently?

Note from Sam, who couldn't resist making a poop joke: During the opening series, I pointed out after yet another long Red Sox flyout that as a pitcher, Chan Ho Park "has warning track power." FYI, Chan Ho -- that's a bad thing. Also, I'm pretty sure that after this interview, the one way you could never describe Chan Ho Park is by saying that he "lacks explosiveness."

Thoughts from the Yankee Stadium Bleachers

...the only place in the world where it's acceptable to wear a Carl Pavano Yankee jersey. (And it's at least even odds that that kid has worn that jersey more than Carl ever did.)

Fresh off the Couchwarmers getting even more Matsui-related PR, I figured I'd check out a game in person and be on the lookout for some more slightly off-color signs. The lengths that we go to for our readers...

Welcome Back, Hideki

If nothing else, Yankees fans know how to show their appreciation. Welcome back to the Stadium, Godzilla.
