I assume John B.’s declaration that he hates “Dancing With the Stars” in yesterday’s post was a trap to see if we were reading to the end. I was. And was rewarded with a reference to Hensley Meulens, whose name sounds to me like it should belong to an overweight bouncer at an Anglo-German strip [...]

Poor guy.

As I watched last night’s game against the Pirates…the following random thoughts came to mind:

Wow Sabathia is really….overweight. Are those the biggest uniform pants available?
I’ve never seen a more sloppy Yankee than Sabathia. And yes, that includes David Wells.

Mariano Rivera didn’t seem too worried about his first [...]

No pitcher has participated in more games with the Yankees than Mariano Rivera.

Rivera is amazing.  He is without a doubt one of the greatest players ever to hold a baseball in his hand.  This is going to sound cliche but it is true.  If Jeter is the heart, Rivera is the soul.  The soul in a spiritual sense if anyone has read anything about Rivera (off the [...]

And Rivera looked great getting a 1-2-3 inning with 2 strikeouts.  He reached 93 mph.  Not bad for his first outing.  The guy is amazing.
