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 calls Joe Torre a 'tool'

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 22:19:42 -0500

In an article he wrote for the NY Post - Right before Game 5 (of the 2003 World Series), I had back spasms. I threw five or six warm-up pitches and told pitching coach Mel Stottlemyre to get another pitcher ready because I wasn't going to make it. Mel was like, "No, you can do it." I threw maybe 10 warm-up pitches total in the bullpen -- I spent most of the time lying on my back -- and said, "If you guys want me to pitch, so be it." I went out there and my fir...

Grasping At (Curly) Straws : Shaughnessy Says Pedro’s Repping For RSN

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 14:08:42 -0500

Proving to be almost as thoughtful a columnist as David Wells — who today urged the Yankees to dust off Chase Utley, lest he hit any more home runs to break Reggie’s W.S. mark — the Boston Globe’s Dan Shaughnessy insists Philly’s Game 6 starter Pedro Martinez “is still pitching for the honor of Red [...]

Boomer: Utley Needs Some Chin Music

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 12:10:00 -0500

From David Wells:Chase Utley needs to kiss the Yankee Stadium dirt tonight.Enough is enough, already. I would never advocate throwing at somebody’s head, but there comes a time when you’ve got to make an insanely hot hitter like Utley squirm.That is what I would have done Monday night if I were A.J. Burnett. What do you think Bob Gibson and Don Drysdale would have done?They would have knocked Utley on his fanny at the start of the game.You don’t want to give in and just say, “OK you’ve got me...

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. That’s how bad that town is.It’s just incredible how ruthless and rude Philadelphia people are. They love their Phillies, but even Jimmy Rollins had a run-in with the fans earlier in the year and they s...

Boomer Doesn’t Like Philly Fans

Sat, 31 Oct 2009 17:41:36 -0500

David Wells thinks Philly fan are the worst in baseball, probably because they called him a fat piece of **** earlier this season. We were just doing our show out in center field and people were walking by saying “You fat piece of [bleep]. . . . Tell Cal he’s gay. . . . Ernie Johnson sucks.” I’m like, “Who the hell are these people?” We’ve got no part of baseball. We’re doing the game and TBS stuff and these Phillies fans are just f-bombing us to death. Notice how nobody heckled Eck? Boomer...

David Wells Is Not a Fan of Philadelphia

Sat, 31 Oct 2009 13:21:00 -0500

What can't David Wells do? The man has thrown a perfect game while hungover, is now an analyst for TBS and now he's even a columnist for the New York Post.

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 His 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 go with Erni...

Who Wins This Race - Charles Barkley Or David Wells?

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.

Tue, 14 Apr 2009 08:04:53 -0500

I'm not quite sure how I feel about this hiring, but TBS is adding David Wells to their lineup, and not just on a trial basis. The former Major Leaguer has signed a multi-year contract and will be assigned to some Sunday games right away.
