“It means nothing really (laughs). It’s an expression i use on Twitter with my friends Puyol and Cesc and it means “I’m thinking about you” It is also because Cesc is in London and sometimes it feels like he’s very far away. It’s a way of bringing us all closer and keeping in touch”

fun fact
The band Yo La Tengo gets its name from former Phils legend Whitey Ashburn. After he got traded to the Mets in 1962, Ashburn played for one of the worst teams in baseball history. One problem the team had was the lack of communication between the center fielder Ashburn and the Venezuelan shortstop named Elio Chacon. Chacon didn’t speak English, so he didn’t know what “I got it” meant. So Whitey learned the Spanish version of “I got it” (“Yo la tengo”), and the next time a pop fly went into left center, Whitey shouted “Yo la tengo.” Chacon stopped in his tracks, Ashburn settled under the ball, and … got plowed over by (American) left fielder Frank Thomas, who had no idea what “Yo la tengo” meant. When they got up, Thomas shot a glare at Ashburn and shouted, “What the heck is a yellow tango?”
