Well, baseball awards week is upon us.
In the spirit of award-giving, I’d like to offer the following awards to members of the Yankee team:
Best Cook: AJ Burnett and his pie á la towel dessert.
Most Eager Rocker: Mark Teixeira
Best Eyes: In an upset, Francisco Cervelli defeats long time winner Andy Pettitte.
Best Roll Call Response: Nick Swisher and the Swisher Salute™.
Best Reason to make Scrambled Eggs: Melky Cabrera’s line after hitting for the cycle–picked up by YES cameras and Spanish-speaking lipreaders nationwide.
Best Reason to Cut My Hair So I Don’t Rip It Out: Robinson Canó coming to bat with runners in scoring position and two out.
The Nails Krzyzewski Award for Grit: Alexander Emmanuel Rodriguez
It’s All About the Karma Award: Eric Hinske, for his third consecutive World Series appearance.
Best Reason to Learn the Japanese Word for “Daddy”: Hideki Matsui. Game Six. ‘Nuff said.
Self-proclaimed Idiot with the Single Smartest Play in the World Series: Johnny Damon and the Double Steal of Doom.
Allergic to Pie Award: Derek Jeter. And you, get your mind out of there!
The Fiery Clubhouse Leader Award: Jorge Posada
The I-am-God Award: Mariano Rivera.
All awards are non-transferrable and non-redeemable for other hardware such as MVP, Cy Young, etc. Winners receive all the honors associated with such awards.

You’re really pushing the RAB connection.
Nails Krzyzewski? Come on now. You’ll just inflate his ego more (and you know who I’m talking about).
(BTW, loved the post. What did Melky say?)
