Seriously, the Yankees spending $190mm on salary? How can anyone be a Yankees fan? After someone explains to me why a World Series was cancelled yet the salary differential is still extremely large (did I mention the Yankees have $45mm more in salary than the BoSox who is another  $28mm above the 3rd team), then you can rationalize why the NL Central has 6 teams in the division and the AL West only has 4 teams. But if push came to shove and I only had $25 million to spend, I would take the Tampa Bay "Dont call me Devil" Rays in a one game playoff against A-Rod. I know of only one time that a 1 player team beat a 9 player one. To paraphrase Lloyd Bensen, "I have met Bugs Bunny, and you, A-Rod, you are no Bugs Bunny"

NY Times is reporting on the aftermath of a steam pipe explosion in Manhattan last month.  It seems that a law office underneath the pipe that exploded was left in ruins.  As the firm began to clean up and temporarily move offices some of their office equipment and various sports memorabilia were stolen.  They took autographed baseballs including a Mickey Mantle and a Joe DiMaggio. The punchline?  The left the Bonds ball.
