Can you figure out the problem with this sign?
If you’re going to invoke the name of a guy as important as Jackie Robinson you should probably make sure you know what stadium he called “home”.

Oh Alex, One Day You’ll Get The (Positive) Headlines To Yourself
When I was joking about this happening earlier in the week, I didn’t think it would actually happen. The world is a funny place.
In A Weekend of Milestones, Let’s Not Forget A Smaller One
This Sunday Hideki Matsui hit his 100th homerun for the Yankees. It’s not a 500 or a 755 but it’s a nice thing for a fine player.
Congratulations on your achievement, Hideki, and I hope we get to see you hit many more at the stadium.
Someone Please Take Farnsworth
Yesterday the New York Post reported some unsurprising, but extremely good news:
After Kyle Farnsworth proved as trustworthy as North Korea, Luis Vizcaino has become Torre’s go-to man. Farnsworth, in fact, has cleared waivers, The Post has learned. Thus his greatest value now is if Brian Cashman can find a sucker to take as much of [...]
Phil Hughes, I Think I Love You
Tonight I saw the Phil Hughes I’ve been waiting for since his first game versus Toronto earlier in the year, and goddamn it was beautiful. It was awesome to see him do well against a good team, and I am hoping that he will keep this up through this tough stretch of the schedule.
I was [...]
Important Questions For Brian Cashman
1) Kyle Farnsworth has cleared waivers, why is he still on the team? If he’s on the team, there is a chance he might come into games. If he comes into games, the fans start offing themselves in the stands. If you want the Yankees to continue to have living fans figure out a way [...]

With two more co-defendants distancing themselves from Michael Vick, the embattled Falcons quarterback was considering on Monday whether to accept a plea agreement for his alleged role in a dogfighting operation.
Sources told ESPN’s Kelly Naqi that Vick attorneys Larry Woodward and Billy Martin met with federal prosecutor Michael Gill and the investigators on Monday [...]
Goodbye, Scooter
I don’t know what to say, except that I am very sad. Even though he wasn’t there, I am glad I was at Old Timer’s Day this year so that I could hear “Phil’s Message to the Fans”. I will always think of him when I eat a good cannoli. Farewell, Scooter.
MLB and the Yankees [...]
It’s August And You Know What That Means
August is Andy Pettitte’s time to shine (more then usual)! I approve even though he is not wearing the high socks anymore (for shame, Andy).
Just look at this beautiful linescore:
I know popular opinion is that Joba Chamberlain is going to be in the rotation next year, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he works the [...]
If Only We Had This Kind Of Relief In The Beginning Of The Season
Before this past week, the last time we saw Edwar Ramirez was in a terrible loss against Tampa Bay. Joe Torre had for some reason decided to rest Ramirez for two weeks, then put him in a terrible situation. He couldn’t throw a strike, and when he finally did it went out of the park [...]
