It was hilarious that they showed this sign on YES. It’s not like it’s some inside joke that only a few would understand. Even those who have not seen Full Metal Jacket pretty much know that this is a reference to Vietnamese prostitutes.
Anyone else notice that the Yankees dropped all three of their Asian players at the same time? Ok, 2 1/2.
On the other hand, they now have 4 1/2 African-American players, the most in recent history. Reminds me of the joke from a few years ago when Sheffield accused Torre of being a racist…that although Joe treated his black players poorly, he was only mad at Jeter half the time.
Heh heh heh…
Finally, a worthy successor to Jeffrey Maier.

Am I missing something? CMW, Matsui, and who’s the third?
Damon is 1/2 Thai, through his mother.

Perfect image to close the books on Matsui.
