Yardbarker: David Wells

Off Season Reading

Sat, 05 Dec 2009 13:42:00 -0500

What the heck is there to do when there is no more baseball on television? READ about baseball! I was at the library (remember those?) and picked up The Yankee Years by Joe Torre and Tom Verducci. Actually it should read "by Tom Verducci with Joe Torre as guest commentator but am putting him as first author because it will sell more." Overall, it was actually a pretty entertaining read. The book traverses the Yankee years from 1995 to the year before Torre became the Dodgers manag...

Yankees = Team Of The Decade

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 12:00:00 -0500

There's been some discussion lately about who is the team of the decade. Some people are saying it's the Red Sox, others are saying it's the Yankees. Yesterday, David Wells tackled the question and Sam Borden did the same this morning, and like most rational human beings they both concluded that the Yanks take the crown.I don't feel any different, and with #27 it's not even close. Sure, the Red Sox also won two rings this decade, but after that you can clearly see it's...

David Wells Discusses Phillies Phans

Sun, 01 Nov 2009 12:15:00 -0500

The article is titled "City of Brotherly Love? My Butt!" so I think you know where he's going from here.All the bad stuff you’ve heard about Philadelphia, site of the next three World Series games, is absolutely true.The people in that town would give The Finger to their own mom.

David Wells Thinks The People Of Philadelphia Are A Bunch Of Meanie-Weenies

Sat, 31 Oct 2009 11:00:11 -0500

Geez, I guess they'll let anyone write for the New York Post. David Wells, in a column I would describe as "portly," because, well, for no reason, shares some of his experiences interacting with the wonderful, friendly people from Philadelphia. In the cleverly-titled column, "City of Brotherly Love? My butt!", Wells hits all the main points one desires to touch on when ripping on Philadelphia ("It's not Brotherly Love in that town - it's Brotherly Hate.&qu...

David Wells Seems Like A Charming Fellow

Tue, 20 Oct 2009 09:49:55 -0500

The life of a baseball beat reporter can be taxing. There’s the endless days of Spring Training, the long regular season that rarely has breaks, and if the team you cover is good enough, there’s the playoffs. It’s a grind, to be sure. Though, of course, your job is to watch baseball all the time. [...]

David Wells Isn't Ashamed Of Bodily Functions

Sun, 18 Oct 2009 11:00:00 -0500

If I told you one of TBS' studio crew farted live on the air, then proudly admitted it to his viewing audience, would it have taken you long to guess which one? Reader Dave was sharp enough to spot this, sad enough to be watching TBS's studio coverage, and bored enough to rip it for your viewing pleasure. That is, if you consider a slob of a man busting ass "pleasure." Lord knows I do. (The good stuff starts at the 0:15 mark.) The blame's actually got to g...

Mon, 18 May 2009 19:20:38 -0500

Charles was recently embarrassed by a female camera operator on the TNT set who did more push-ups than him. Well, Charles really didn't do any push-ups, they were more like XXX pelvic thrusts. TNT has to setup this Boomer-Barkley race so he can redeem himself.
