NY CURSE GROWS


Promo Ad



POSTED 6-4-07

There are rotisserie heroes and fantasy goats. But some performances are so ugly, egregious or plain perplexing that it begs the refrain: What the F--k! Here is Update's seriously twisted moment this week.

UPDATE! profiled The Curse behind the New York Yankees recently. But that was before Alex Rodriguez earned the nickname Stray-Rod, before Doug Mientkiewicz suffered a concussion, cervical sprain and fractured bone in his right wrist, before once-speedy Johnny Damon has forced out of centerfield, before Andy Pettitte's back acted up and before hired gun Roger Clemens was bothered by displaced scar tissue in his groin. WTF! Can an organization fall apart any more completely? You know things are bad when a Hollywood pussy like Matt Damon boldly walks into the Midtown studio of the David Letterman Show recently wearing a Red Sox jersey and proceeds to pan the Yankees on air. Sorry Yankees fans, don't expect it to get much better. You pay a price for a decade of dominance. The bill is finally coming due. New Yorkers are a thick-skinned bunch. So our advice to you: Don't bother hunting down Mr. Good Will. Take it on the chin now and you'll appreciate it all the more when George Steinbrenner opens his wallet for another $100 million addition next season.

Despite a fantastic start, Alex Rodriguez still can't avoid taking it on the chin after he was caught escorting a woman (not his wife) around Toronto.
