It's going to be an odd postseason in baseball this October. Though it isn't official yet, I think it's pretty safe to say that for the first time since 1993 the playoffs will not include the New York Yankees. While this pleases me greatly, for the Yankees and their fans, it probably sucks quite a bit.Enough to drive them to drinking even. Though if the Yankees are hoping that they'll be able to fulfill their competitive thirst this October with some good old fashioned drinking games, it looks like they're going to need to practice more.
IT would be tough for average Joes to beat a couple of Yankees at baseball, but slamming them in a game of beer pong was no sweat. Last week, Jason Giambi and Joba Chamberlain were celebrating their win against the Kansas City Royals at Southern Hospitality, on Second Avenue, when a table of fans challenged them to a game of the college drinking sport. Our spy said, "The fans gave them a beating. Toward the end Chamberlain and Giambi got really competi tive, but it wasn't enough."The spy's quote could also be used to summarize the Yankees season.
Not mentioned in the blurb from Page Six? When Hank Steinbrenner came out of nowhere after the game started to tell Giambi that Joba should be going first, not last, then saying nothing when Joba came out of the competition with a sore throwing shoulder resulting from those extra turns.
