"Hey, could I get another pepperoni over here?" Bloomberg asked owner Antonio Benito.
"I'm sorry sir," he replied, "we can't do that. You've reached your personal slice limit."
Mayor Bloomberg, not accustomed to being challenged, assumed that the owner was joking.
"OK, that's funny," he remarked, "because of the soda thing ... No come on. I'm not kidding. I haven't eaten all morning, just send over another pepperoni."
"OK, that's funny," he remarked, "because of the soda thing ... No come on. I'm not kidding. I haven't eaten all morning, just send over another pepperoni."
"I'm sorry sir. We're serious," Benito insisted. "We've decided that eating more than one piece isn't healthy for you, and so we're forbidding you from doing it."
"Look jackass," Bloomberg retorted, his anger boiling, "I fucking skipped breakfast this morning just so I could eat four slices of your pizza. Don't be a schmuck, just get back to the kitchen and bring out some fucking pizza, okay."
"I'm sorry sir, there's nothing I can do," the owner repeated. "Maybe you could go to several restaurants and get one slice at each. At least that way you're walking. You know, burning calories."
And this morning I bring you....the pride and joy of NYC....the man who so accurately represents the big Apple.
This shop owner? Is my fucking hero....
"You know, burning calories"
Getting a lot harder for me to not buy into this team as being a legit contender. Very surprised Hanrahan closed last night.......but that might do wonders for his confidence out there. Bailey should have been rested, so why Hanrahan?
You know that's fake, right?
Former Congressman Anthony Weiner tried to put his past behind him today by colorfully making light of the scandal which removed him from office.
In an interview with WNBC's local news this morning, the potential mayoral candidate said he has moved beyond his sexting drama and the only "hard-on" he has now is for New York City....
The Clay Buchholz situation is something that's not being policed by the umps anymore. I cant tell you how many times I've seen a pitcher lick his fingers and go right to his grip on the ball, and nothing is said. Its like nobody is paying attention anymore. Tom Glavine made a similar statement this morning about how players have become lazy with paying attention
“It was an ill-conceived idea from the beginning,” Rays manager Joe Maddon said. “It didn't look good from jump street. I respect what the umpires did.
“I thought Teddy Barrett handled it really well calling it when he did. Like he told me, we lost the field. That was the phrase he used, and I think he was absolutely correct.
“They did the best they possibly could, but it's not going to get any better. I think they did the right thing. It's not just about playing 41/2 or five innings. It's about playing nine. And if you can't play nine, I think it's the appropriate thing to do.”
The Royals disagreed.
“When they first put the tarp on,” right fielder Jeff Francoeur said, “the field was unplayable. No doubt. At that point, though, you throw out all the (drying compound) you have — especially since (the Rays) are not coming back (to KC).
“Try to get five innings in. If they’re up 2-1, good for them. If we’re up 1-0, good for us. They knew coming into this game that we weren’t playing nine innings. Everybody did.”
Johnson stole second before scoring when a Gordon grounder squirted through second baseman Ben Zobrist for an RBI single.
“I really don't believe that ball would've gotten by (Zobrist) in normal conditions,” Maddon said. “That ball just skipped.”
What did Maddon do?
i was pretty stoked about the non loss yesterday
