Deadspin
Viewers of MSNBC's Countdown are aware of host Keith Olbermann's scoop last night that a second Red Sox item is apparently buried somewhere beneath the concrete at the new Yankee Stadium. The same construction worker who buried a David Ortiz jersey in cement at the new stadium (which was dug up on April 13) has told friends he also buried a scorecard there from the 2004 American League Championship Series.
"And he isn't telling anybody where," Olbermann said of Gino Castignoli's alleged additional attempt to jinx the Yankees. "That could pose a problem. The new park is pretty big."
If any of this reminds you of the Seinfeld episode in which Jerry's girlfriend says something in his apartment has been in the toilet, but won't say what, then go to the head of the class.
Olbermann said he couldn't reveal the source of his information beyond it being "a friend of the aforementioned cement mason." He told Newsday that he has been getting tips on the story for the past week, but didn't have a second source until yesterday. "He's shooting his bazoo off," Olbermann said.
So, when will demolition begin?

Toilet brush!
Knock it down! KNOCK IT DOWN NOW!

A scorecard? What kind of man keeps score at a Red Sox/Yankees playoff game? Pheg.
If he's bluffing and Hank Digs up the entire stadium to find nothing...I'll actually be rather impressed.
I say we install video cameras in every ladies' room stall until we find the scorecard! (God bless the Patriot Act.)
"Let's go out to eat... I threw away all my dishes."
Let's see what I got today. Ham and cheese again. And she forgot the fancy mustard. I love that fancy mustard. You could put that fancy mustard on a shoe and it would taste pretty good to me.
Blame a roster of (underachieving?) past-prime vets and no pitching on a curse. I love it.
Hank probably wishes it was the thong instead.
Olbermann also quoted the guy as saying that the scorecard and jersey were "the tip of the iceberg," which probably means the guy spent his one day on the job sinking things into wet cement every 30 yards.
Wasn't this all a hoax to begin with?
@HockeyMountain: If he's bluffing and Yankee fans, ownership, management etc spend the next 50 years wondering ...I'll actually be rather impressed.
/me too'd
Olbermann's tinsel mop should be on the tin man's head.
Does anybody seriously give a flying fuck?
/irony already noted
Was it the spatula?
TOILET BRUSH!
/episode featured Kristin Davis
Unfortunately, Olberman's source is John Tomase.....
Shooting his bazoo off? Isn't that illegal in public?
"That could pose a problem. The new park is pretty big."
just use the Divining A-Rod.

I think tedious is the word I'm looking for.
@HebrewHammer: "She has a taint. I can't see it, but I know it's there."
If it gives any Steinbrenner a stroke or causes the Yankees to gag for the next 95 years, I'm for it, hoax or not.
After they dig his concrete encased body out of the East River, they should turn it into a monument outside Fenway.
Somewhere, there is a faceprint molded into the concrete as well.
Carol Anne: They're here
Mom: What do you mean? Who's here?
Carol Anne: Douchebags
I'll bet if it was anything belonging to Jennifer Love Hewitt, Hank would look like Andy Dufresne out there digging for it.
Someone is an attention whore
If you really want to jinx the Yankees, just say the same thing they say at the same time. Plus, they'll owe you a Coke.
/Regional humor?
"We all get a little cuckoo sometimes, Hank. I used to be like you. Berating personnel until they cried, calling managers on the field during a game, threatening to tear down my stadium just to find a worthless piece of paper. Then I found a way to relax. I've got two words to say to you, Hank... Hot Tub!"

It reminds me more of the episode where George's Phil Rizzuto keychain got buried under the pavement.
"Ho-ly cow!"
They're going to keep this story going until the new Giants Stadium gets built, at which time the dig for Hoffa begins.
@SportsCentre: I'm pretty sure that was the same episode. The best part is when he realizes it's the toilet brush, he still feels that he needs to get a new one.
@SportsCentre: Same episode.
P2S?
Mr. Chiles, I have Hank Steinbrenner on line 2.
"I AM A RED SOX FAN AND PEOPLE HAVE STOPPED NOTICING ME AND MY STUPID DEVOTION!!!!!"
I'll bet he also hit Sox items in Al Capone's vault. We should open it and air it on tv! - Geraldo
"Well, have a nice life."
This entire story reeks of douche and retardation.
That's nothing, I heard a Knicks fan buried Len Bias in Lincoln Memorial.
I buried Ed Whitson at New Yankee Stadium
@BigRicks: Mythbusters disproved it, Hoffa ain't there.
/geek'd
this construction worker is helping boston's fans reputation of being douches. bravo.
The upside is that when he moves back to Charlestown, Mass, he'll never have to pay for a beer again. And the upside is that without a job, he'll have plenty of time to drink said free beers. The only downside is that he's still 5'4", has goofy facial hair, and can't even get laid in Charlestown, Mass.
Figures that sack of shit Olberman would be the one to 'break' this story. Who really gives a flying fuck if this guy dropped an entire time capsule in the ground? I know...here's a few things that would have really put the whammy on The Evil Empire:
1- Copy of the Marilyn Monroe fellatio sex tape (to make Joe D, aka Mr. Coffee, turn in his grave)
2- Fritz Peterson and Mike Kekich before and after family photos
3- Ken Phelps card
4- David Wells' tooth/Rocco Graziosa's Online Booking Sheet/Take-home menu from Gracie's "fuckin'" Diner three-pack
5- Bloody sock used by Clemens to celebrate/clean-up post-first date with teenage country singer (see..I still can't think of this broad's name)
@SportsCentre: +1
Its not news, its MSNBC.
Olberdouche is full of shit, his "Source" is the interweb and he gets his information from Fark and Deadspin.
What would really curse us is if they bury the working part of Teddy's brain under the stadium.
@BigRicks:
they aren't going to knock the stadium down, i believe its becoming part of our new hugeass mall. Something was said about making sure people don't have the chance to dig there.
