Opening Segment to CSI: Miami

In response to Mike T’s post…..
[Voice of David Caruso]: “Mike…. that’s why they call it….[put sunglasses on face]…….the bait and switch.” 
YEAAHHHHHHHHHHH!  [Music of the Who dramatically plays]
Or, if you prefer…. Maxwell Smart.  “Would you believe…. the ‘ol bait and switch.”

Regular Joe’s mean nothing to the Yankees.

Newsday has an article about the Yankees being basically shamed into lowering the price for roughly 600 seats in the bleachers from $12 to $5 because they are obstructed by the hideous resturaunt in centerfield.  The fact that they even have obstructed view seats in a brand new stadium is ludicrous.  One of the talking points [...]

Trivia Question to be…

Will Joe Girardi allow Derek Jeter to bat leadoff for the home opener?  Jeter would forever be the answer to the trivia question, who had the first AB for the Yankees in the New Yankee Stadium?

Yankees Trivia

Mickey Mantle is the all-time Yankees strikeout leader, having whiffed 1,710 times in his career.  Who is second to Mantle?

In the Year 2039

John – Congratulations on the birth of your daughter.
When she is watching baseball in 2039 and Derek Sanderson Jeter II, (the 28 year old Yankee Phenom, and 2038 AL MVP) is having a press conference to deal with the fallout of a new Sports Illustrated Story due out in April that alleges that Derek the Second is not the [...]

A new Fan

Congrats to John B. (and Len and all the B.’s). A new Stadium and new Fan, we will always remember her birth year.  My older daughter is a heavy duty Yankee fan, the younger not so much, so the younger handles snacks and miscellaneous socializing when we go to see the Yanks.  I am sure John [...]

Congratulations to John B.

On the birth of your beautiful daughter Ava.  Love and Best wishes to Mom, Dad and baby Ava… and Grandpa Len too!

Time to cut bait?

Looks like Alex lied again.  Newspapers are reporting that Boli (Primoliban) was not available OTC or by prescription in the Dominican Republic in 2001-2003.  Plus they are digging dirt and finding unsavory “steroids” guys associated with A-Rod’s cousin post 2003.   This is going to be a PR nightmare for the Yankees.   Soon the decision will [...]
