Big League Stew - MLB

With the World Series win in the bag, New York's late night television shows wasted no time in appropriating some of the Yankees stars for a ratings boost like the one Fox received

A couple of the clips from Thursday night are below and if you're a Yankees fan who can't get enough (or a non-Yankee fan who's already cringing) don't worry: This is only the start.  

* * *

Here's a highlight reel of Derek Jeter(notes), Andy Pettitte(notes), Jorge Posada(notes) and Hideki Matsui(notes) stopping by Letterman on Thursday night. Extra points to Jeter for being the only guy cool enough  to make fun of Dave's love life (besides Dave himself, of course) and also for the band's rendition of Blue Oyster Cult's Godzilla. For the full version, see parts 1, 2 and 3

Daily Show host Jon Stewart is a big Mets fan, but that didn't stop him from opening Thursday night's show by offering his heartfelt congratulations to the Yankees.

Joba Chamberlain(notes) hugging his dad may have been one of the best World Series moments, but Joba Chamberlain appearing on Jimmy Fallon's show is definitely one of the worst. On an awkward scale of 1 to Michael Scott, this one is a nine. The show's writers are aware they're expected to provide jokes for their guests to tell, aren't they?

    I love the yankees, but Joba lacked a little class there. He could have been a little more gracious.

    #3:
    - Calls Yankee fans classless.
    - Uses terms like "SUX" and "Stanks" and "Bleep."
    - Is a hypocrite.

    #4 - While his language may have been off color, it doesn't change the fact he is right - Yankee fans have no class

    The Yankee fans have no class huh??I suppose we could be associated with Philly fans throwing quarters at Nick Swisher or Red Sox fans doing just about anything to our players and other fans but i regress..not everyone from Philadelphia is a jerk and certainly not everyone from Boston is.It only takes a few to make a blanket statement such as all Yankee fans suck.I think it is very appropriate that the Yankees won the Series as the USS NEW YORK which was built with the steel from the fallen world trade centers was commissioned out to sea.It sails as i write this and that is something all Americans everywhere can be proud of..whether you are from Los Angeles,Boston,Philadelphia,Baltimore,Detroit,Chicago,or St.Louis or Kansas City.The Yankees won...live with it..just as we have lived with the Red Sox winning twice,with St.Louis winning and Philly and Florida and Arizona and Chicago and yes the Angels too.And when they have won we always looked forward to next year Well next year is now this year

    It's funny how hypocritical anti-Yankee posters are - calling the Yankees and their fans classless - when they do nothing but badmouth them and try to put them down. But let's step into the time machine for a moment....
    Yankees WS win - no riots
    Mets WS win - no riots
    White Sox win - riots
    Phillies WS win - riots
    Detroit WS win - riots
    Boston WS win - riots
    Odd pattern, isn't it? "Classless" NY baseball fans NOT rioting after their teams win the World Series....
    And all the Yankee fans here just cheering their team....
