Wanted Santana just to prevent the Yanks? I dunno, I think any team would want Santana regardless of who might acquire him. He's the best pitcher in baseball.

Gross! get rid of that picture, you look like a witch. We all know you are way better looking than that photo come on now Chick!

There are a lot of morons on Pete's blog. I'm a little scared to post now...

Good post, Maureen!

I liked your post, don't let the anonymous haters get you down. You are the one with the blog and a great readership. Keep up the great work.

and don't be scared Andy, there will always be people like that, it only takes getting used to. The only thing you should be be scared of is fear dictating and influencing your writing.

I just wanted to leave here what I posted over on Pete's site:

YankeesChick,

Much love... Good post. I enjoyed the read and check your site frequently.

Why all the hate guys... seriously. Can any of you do better? I wish I had enough motivation to blog my opinions. Man seriously it blows my mind how negative people can really be. For those of you who are hating on a woman because she is "allowed" to post... WOW!! I didn’t realize that Doc Brown and Marty McFly created a flux capacitor big enough to bring the whole world back to November 5, 1955. I must say today I will look down my nose at a select few posters here... if you need to hate start with the person who stares back at you everyday you look in the mirror.

Again, don't let it get to you YankeesChick... much love!

Maureen, you're like a hot potato without the toppings -- you're just plain hot!!!

Maureen is a hot potato sans the toppings -- she's just plain hot!!!

Well done, YC, and don't let the turkeys on Pete Abe's blog get you down. The exposure will be worth it and will draw many people to your wonderfulness.

And that was a great 29'er, as usual....

Is a peaceful coexistence between Sox and yank fans possible?.... Probably Not. I'll not bring any hate to your blog just the assertion of the Sox going after Santana to keep him away from the Yanks. IF that's what the Sox are doing, they would have learned that tactic from the Yankees a la Judas Damon and Tomahawk Chop Rodriguez.

Dear Maureen-

First of all, I hesitate to dignify the discussion about your appearance that occurred yesterday over at the lohud site because it’s sexist and offensive. Were it a man inaugurating the role of guest blogger, I seriously doubt anyone would have commented on his comeliness. Instead, we'd have argued the merits of his post.

(It’s always disconcerting when the tenor of the discussion over at lohud degenerates into to the bar room incivility that prevails over at nomaas.)

However, it pains me even more to realize the blow sexism must deal to women’s self-esteem. Because if someone as attractive as you could actually suspect herself unattractive and worse, express it, there’s something profoundly wrong with how woman form their self-image in our society.

Maureen, please excuse the sexism my following comment reflects. But, trust me, every male chauvinist pig who contributes to this site, me included, would be proud to call you his girlfriend. Especially, when like every man, he’s compelled that first time to show you off to his friends.

And if he’s a Yankee fan, well then, he should also consider himself the luckiest man alive to have a girlfriend as passionate and as knowledgeable about, and as devoted to, the Yankees as you are besides.

Don’t let the jackals discourage you.

yankees chick -- i love the way you write your blog in size 12 font, but implore others to visit Pete's blog in size 10 font. (For those of you who cannot even find her imploration, take out a powerful electron microscope and focus it at the blur under the post's title).

Judging from font size diferentials, I would hasten to say your so-called imploration was nothing more than a clever ruse to trick us hawkeyes into believing that the Yankees Chick actually cares about someone other than Maureen.

Um....

The link is right at the top - if I didn't think it was important to let people know about that blog, I could have just put it at the bottom or nowhere at all. If you miss that, methinks 'tis you that has some trouble...

...methinks the lady doth protest too much

ok that was awesome - that response was "pret-ay, pret-ay, pret-ay good!"

Left this on the lohud blog:


Hey, Yankees Chick:

Nice job as the "leadoff hitter" for the guest bloggers.

And to everyone else, a tip: Check out YC's actual blog. It's an entertaining, funny read. Good stuff.

I don't understand how Peter is getting "lazy" by allowing some space to guest bloggers. It's not like he's taking a month off, folks. He's posting stuff, too. He's just tossing some other voices into the mix. Check out some of these other blogs. Some of them, like YC's, are actually pretty good.

Finally, I wonder if the rest of the guest bloggers will have such in-depth discussions in the comments about how "hot" they are.

As one of the future guest bloggers, I realize now it's going to be a tough crowd. But hey, it's fun. You did a nice job.
