"Masterisk" is a combination of "Masters" and "asterisk." Get it?

Don't worry. Lupica doesn't totally ignore baseball for the sake of awesomely incredible golf portmanteaus:

"I had a feeling that all it was going to take was a good week or two for Vernon Wells to have him halfway to Monument Park."

Nobody is really paying attention to Vernon Wells. But it's nice to see Cashman's much-criticized veteran pickups performing well.


"I don’t know how long this lasts, but the main event right now in New York baseball has become a Matt Harvey start."


I had a feeling all it was going to take was a good week or two for Matt Harvey before hack columnists would put him in the HOF.



"When was the last time a veteran player hit town the way John Buck has for the Mets?"


I had a feeling all it was going to take was a good week or two for John Buck before hack columnists would put him in the HOF.


"How would Yankee fans feel about Carlos Quentin charging the mound if the guy he had injured was Andy Pettitte?

Or Mo Rivera?"


Yankes fans would be upset at Carlos Quentin if he charged the mount and injured Andy Pettitte.

Or Mo Rivera.

Kind of like how Dodger fans are angry at Carlos Quentin for charging the mound and injuring Zack Grienke.

So ... what's your point?

That fans root for specific teams and the players who play for those specific teams?
