Move over, Lin-sanity. Here comes the Yu Dog!

The team once owned by Bush* himself has come up with an, er, unusual way to welcome Japanese pitching sensation Yu Darvish: the Yu Dog.

For Darvish's debut, Rangers Ballpark released the Yu Dog, a Japanese twist on the traditional frank. It's a jumbo all beef hot dog wrapped in wonton and deep fried, then covered with beef teriyaki and wasabi mayonnaise. The whole thing is topped with a seaweed salad and sprinkled with sesame seeds, and served with shoestring French fries tossed in sesame oil.

Although it may sound delicious to some, many fans took to Twitter on Monday night to air their displeasure about the new menu item questioning whether it crosses the line. For instance, wontons are of Chinese origin, a completely different country than the Osaka-born Darvish. Several pictures of the Yu Dog posted on social media sites showed a fortune cookie coming with it, although it is not included in the official description from Delaware North Sportservice, who handles concessions at the stadium.


They should be docked several draft picks just for putting mayonnaise on a hot dog!

unless you call a 1% interest in the team "ownership". Bush was a figurehead who went to games, picked his nose, ate hotdogs, and got drunk.
