This morning I was checking out the latest blogs on FanNation and saw a flow by II itZ Sik SkillZ II about the New York Yankees current winning streak. Check it out.

the new york yankees are on a roll
derek and arod have got it under control
the rest of the league better watch out
the yankees bout to show em what their about
they are now only 7 games back of clevland
who have to play the tigers and jimmy leyland
and well the rest of the wild card teams are beating each other up
here come the yankees creaping up
the rocket will win 2morrow
much to the dissapointment and the sorrow
of millions of boston fans all around the globe
as they ask each other "how can he be doing this at 43 years old"
and ill say to them: you just better focus on ur cupcake sched
thats the biggest reason why you've got the edge
but that lead is shrinking now in the AL east
the yankees have come to dinner, just a lil late for the feast
but they finally showed up; better late than never
the sox be the swiss the yanks the cheddar
cause when its all said and done boston will have so many holes
they'll be lost 4ever like the dead sea scrolls
but they'll have plenty of time to recooperate through october
watching from their coutches getting drunk then sober
cause they be the fakest team in the MLB
need i say more...just wait and see

So for fun I decided to write a quick flow that gives my interpretation of where the Yankees stand this season. Hope you enjoy it.

 

I'll give you 200 millions reasons the Yankees will lose
and spend October on a Caribbean Cruise
You've got the worst team that money can buy
Pull out a newspaper, the standings don't lie.
Witness the panic on the faces of Steinbrenner and Cashman
39 mil for Carl Pavano, they must have been smoking hash then

Giambi's in an interrogation room letting out more waterworks than Niagara
and you pin your hopes on a pitcher who has to use Viagra
You're only winning because you're beating up on weak teams
So sorry Yanks fans, the future's not as bright as it seems
The next 20 games you play are versus teams who are cellar dwellers
The MLB should change their name to the Tampa Bay Old Yellers
So ease up on bragging about beating baseball's worst
you won a few games in a row but you're still far from first
And even if by a miracle you win the Wild Card
your fall off your pedestal will be equally long as it is hard


Because at the end of the day your team will only go as far your pitching
And you spent more than any team, so please stop the b*tching.
You better resurrect the ghosts of Dimaggio and Ruth
otherwise in October you'll see Jeter sitting in an announcer's booth.
watching the Indians, Angels, Tigers, and Sox
A-Rod you can share the couch with me as we watch the playoffs on Fox.

Wow- sorry II itZ Sik SkillZ II, but the Yanks arent going anywhere- 7 games back of the Tribe is a lot.

July 18, 2007  09:31 AM ET

"They are now ONLY 7 games back of Cleveland." haha

I like the Dead Sea Scrolls line. Very creative.

"You've got the worst team that money can buy." haha

Pitchers using Viagra. hahahahahahaha

Very clever both of you but Adam's is much more correct. The Yanks still aren't any good. That gave me a good laugh.

July 18, 2007  10:14 AM ET

Love it. (the second one, I mean.)
Especially the line about Clemens. Genius. :)

ADAM LEE VS IL ITZ SIK SILLZ 11

July 18, 2007  10:26 AM ET

You said Damon being interrogated. Did you mean Giambi?

July 18, 2007  10:29 AM ET

oh, a flaw!
it's giambi not damon. it's ok it happens to everyone

July 18, 2007  12:19 PM ET

You say that the Yankees season is over,
but I remind you that it's no where near October.
Sox fans would like to imagine they've won,
but the Yanks wont give up 'till the last run.
You say,we beat up on bad teams, well at least we can,
Sox lose to the Royals, thats not just a flash in the pan
The Sox have been steadily declining,
soon and their "dedicated" fans will be whining.
They cant win 2 gmes in a row since the break,
Your own old pitcher is proving to be a mistake.
The Yanks and the Sox face off 3 more times,
and by then Sox fans wont be in the mood for any more rhymes.
Their jaws will be dropping to the floor,
asking themselves, how many times did we see this before?
Sox fans think that divisions are won after 81,
they believe theyve already won.
Theyre forgetting about who is waiting not far behind
they dont seem to care, they dont seem to mind.
when they finally realize, it will be too late,
after all, it is their fate.
Pride, Power, Pinstipes: these colors dont run
So while you can, Sox fans, have fun
Before you are forced to watch re-runs of '04

July 18, 2007  12:25 PM ET

uhh, good, AdamLee-but Damon being interrogated?

July 18, 2007  12:35 PM ET

8 games behind Boston
The season is over?
Man, you've lost it.

July 18, 2007  01:06 PM ET

I edited the Damon part to Giambi. haha. I was in a rush.

July 18, 2007  01:07 PM ET

This poem makes me sad. Thanks alot Adam!!!!!!!!!!!! lol

July 18, 2007  01:08 PM ET

Niceeeee. I think the first one is supposed to be a rap, but I like yours. Very good references.

July 18, 2007  01:18 PM ET

Shultzie, I've got a message to your Yankee Darlings
from Josh Beckett, you remember when he kicked your a** on the Marlins?
Well his uniform has changed but the story's still the same
Steinbrenner shells out cash while his players come up lame
You talk about Red Sox fans watching 04' replays?
Their title's nowhere near as ancient as a Yankees ring these days
You hold onto old curses and brag about the Bronx Bombers' brass
have you already forgotten about Big Papi as he hit a homer in the Babe's fat a**?
Pride, Power, Pinstripes? You brag about these things?
Pompous Paycheck Pansies, that's what George's reign brings.
You've got a green monster of your own, but not the Fenway son
take a long look in the mirror Yanks fan, your glory days are done.

July 18, 2007  01:23 PM ET

Seriously this has made my day go down the tubes. {sniff,sniff}

July 18, 2007  01:50 PM ET

Let me point out a flaw in your second, not so nice, poem: I searched the Yankees news archive for Josh Beckett and here is what I found:

August 19th 2006- Yankees batter Beckett in win over the Sox: 13-5
June 5th 2006 - Yankees bats rough up Beckett, Sox: another 13-5 victory
June 3rd 2007 - Beckett gave up 4 runs on 8 hits, no decision Yanks win 6-5
as for the 2003 world series: Beckett went 1-1, not as dominating as you would like people to think

Here are some quotes from Beckett vs. Yankees:
"It frustrates the heck out of me"
"its ridicoulous"
"its unacceptable; its brutal"


As you can see youve got your facts all wrong,
You can go on and sing your victory song.
Beckett vs. the Yankees isnt that great,
Although you try to make it seem like it with all your Yankee hate.
You say that the Yanks havent got rings for a while,
Well, how about pennants, the Yanks have more by a mile!
As for the rings, the Bombers are more consistent,
your next championship is still 83 years in the distance.
You see ,we arent afraid of Big Papis homeruns goin into the dark
we dont build 30 foot walls to keep them in the park.
Is this how you act whenever a fan stands up to you,
dropping curses out of the blue?
I never had to trick the filters using asteriks so I wouldnt get caught.
Fannations classiest man, I think not.

[I can use big words too, Im gonna end up being valedictorian at my high school, youre getting all mad over a 15 year old :-) ]

July 18, 2007  02:07 PM ET

like always the yanks suck but great blog only the second 1

July 18, 2007  04:34 PM ET

Shultzie, this is all in fun, you do realize that right? Calm down.

July 18, 2007  05:14 PM ET

Nicely done and nice poetry

July 18, 2007  06:09 PM ET

Hubris is a curse. Don't count your playoffs until they're won, AdamLee.

Shultzie and AdamLee are having a walkoff....
