Last year the pool hall, this year the arcade.
"There will be three games that they are required to perform in," [Girardi] said. "We are looking for well-rounded, video arcade nuts. They will participate in Indy racing, skee and pop-a-shot. And during the time they are not participating, they are allowed to do whatever they want, play any games they want. I figure that there should be a gold medal, a silver medal and a bronze medal, but they will be in the order of gift certificates. I’m not going to buy medals."
I'm taking Randy Winn for pop-a-shot, Swisher for skee ball, and Hughes for Indy racing (another area where he'll out perform Joba).

+1 on Swisher
I could see him just dominating at arcade games.
If there’s a pie eating contest, I think we all know who wins that one…..
This sticker is dangerous and inconvenient, but I do love Fig Newtons.
Swisher for a sweep ...
This guy was born and bred for video arcades. In another life, he’d be the dude pointing kids to the $1, $5, $10 changer … He’d walk around with a change maker on his belt humming heavy metal tunes.
This won’t even be a contest.

Austin Powers: Carnies. Circus folk. Nomads, you know. Smell like cabbage. Small hands.

My money is on Mo for skeeball and pop a shot.
They have always said he’s the best athlete on the team and pretty much every thing he touches turns to gold. My dark horse for the pop a shot is Brackman. He’ll probably be taller than the rim and can throw the ball directly in. (Although with his control, maybe not) I think is the only guy to have played Bball in college, not that it would really help in this instance. Mariano is my first choice though, can’t go wrong with the Godfather.
Strikeouts are boring- Besides that, they're fascist. Throw some ground balls - it's more democratic.

Mo 's just gonna throw cutters right into the 100 hole
in the upper left hand corner of the skee ball machine.

Ah, damn didn't realize Jennings pointed out
brackman played ball in college. Guess it’s not a dark horse then.

Is Cervelli allowed to play
because if so I really don’t see the point…..

Joba wins them all....

Out sick- the old “flu like symptoms.”

Arcade Outing
A-Rod releases 6 years of anger by ripping Jeter’s head off in Mortal Kombat.
Mike Francessa stops by and insists that Joba should only be rolling the 8th ball in ski-ball.
Joba is required to take a breathalizer before playing Indy Racing.
Is it just me or can anyone else see Nick Swisher being really really good a whack-a-mole?

Any former basketball players on the Yanks?
they’ll probably win the pop a shot game.
I agree on Swish for skeeball.
Maybe Gardner takes Indy Racing?
Or maybe I should just be safe and say that Cervelli wins everything…
Gardner on Dance USA ...
His feet are so fast, he’ll melt the floor.

Maybe...
GGBG will go on DWTS. Can I get on there, just one dance with the lovely Ms. Andrews,
just one dance I am saying young ’fella.
the winners
AJ wins the indy car. Brackman in skee ball. Royce King in pop a shot

Brackman in skee ball
Brackman being able to get a spherical projectile anywhere near its intended target would be a huge step in the right direction.

Look...
Can Posada look more bored or what, while Rivera is laughing.
Someone tell Tex...
to stop wearing his “members only jacket”…he’s a millionaire for crying out loud.
lol
Agreed. Being dressed down while schleping around is fine. But Mo’s t-shirt is hideous and he wears cheap jeans (I work in fashion).
