Monday Boy Band

We were going to mail our baseball flags, hats and T-shirts to MLB's office in New York. But we can't find any. It's been a decade since we gave a goddamn about the Yankees. Still we're stunned. Bear in mind that there was a time when our mood was determined by the Yankees, and not just wins and losses. Twenty years ago we'd be pissed if the Yankees had to come from behind, or didn't annihilate the team they were playing. I know, right?

Anyway, below is the letter we were going to send:

Rob Manfred:

Enclosed you will find several baseball items. You can have them, I don't want them anymore. I'm sure you know why, cocksucker.

Don't worry, there's no turd in the box or anything like that, at least not until you opened it.

Sincerely...

Over in Israel, more deadlock:  'Beginning an intensive day of meetings with political parties for consultations on each one’s preferred candidate for forming the next government, President Reuven Rivlin lamented Monday that “at the moment, I can’t see a way to form a coalition.” He also said if his first choice to form a government fails, he may send the mandate back to the Knesset to make a choice, rather than giving a second person a chance to do so first' We'd love to see Naftalli Bennett and Yamina rejoin Likud with Bennet as the heir apparent. There's talk of making Bibi President, but that's a largely ceremonial role. Do reader(s) really think he'd do that? Hmmm...legacy wise it's a hell of a sendoff.

The New York Post reports that NYC mayoral candidate Andrew Yang may actually have some good ideas: Is Andrew Yang getting interesting? The mayoral front-runner has lately developed a habit of making reasonable, if rather big-picture, suggestions for governing Gotham — and it’s driving his rivals crazy. Yang hasn’t proved he’s ready to be mayor, but his competitors’ unhinged responses to even the most obvious of his ideas show they aren’t...' Which is why we oppose Yang's candidacy. This blog supports the worst possible candidate who will make the worst possible mayor of NYC. You can't help these people till they hit rock bottom and another 4-8 years of crime, racial mayhem and nihilistic violence may push that fetid crap-hole of a city to bottom of the septic tank. Also, we just hate NYC. We once again call upon Phil Murphy to blow the Hudson River crossings. We don't want they're kind here. 

Look we have three daughters, ok? At least that's what we told the Heavy Metal Police*. And the 11 year old is obsessed with Harry Styles and One Direction. Just a few days ago we were making tacos with the girls and debating who was The Cute One, The Bad Boy, the Older Brother Type, the Shy One, etc etc. It's not Monday Metal but we kind of dig the song below, the refrain does thump:

Dismiss them all you want, we certainly have, but they get all the chicks and you don't.

Now we're off to Newark Liberty International to pick up Mrs. Stroock.

*Not to mention the Royal Heavy Metal Society of Canada, which sent us a stern letter. Only having scene Anvil in concert saved our membership.
