PUT THIRD BASE DOWN AND BACK AWAY: 18 people were arrested Sunday night for taking pieces of Yankee Stadium. None of them, however, were players, who were televised scooping handfuls of dirt into cups. No, they were all fans, who spent their hard-earned dollars to pay those players and, incidentally, to build the new monument to greed across the street. They're going to tear it down; can't the fans have their little pieces of cement, their seat numbers, their restroom signs? Players are asking for their lockers, for flagpoles. For cryin' out loud, even Yogi Berra asked for home plate! Give us a break. I can't afford a ticket to next year's games, can't I have a little handful of grass?
EVERYTHING OLD IS NEW AGAIN: Miami beat New England using a form of the old single-wing offense. I guess Belichick wasn't old enough to prepare for that one. What's next? The Notre Dame shift?
WHAT'D HE SAY?: Interesting quote from David Wright of the Mets on their swoon: "It has nothing to do with being tight. It has to do with we're struggling. There's no need to panic. Everything we want to accomplish is right out there for our grabbing and right out there in front of us." At first, I didn't know if that was from last year or this year. Either way, somebody's pretty nervous.
BIG FISH, LITTLE POND: The Diamonbacks are only 2 games over .500 but trail the Dodgers by only 2 games. Torre must really be laughing. The Dodgers record (81-75) would put them 5th in the American League East, 3rd in the Central and 15 1/2 games out in the West. Talk about brilliant managerial moves!
