***YES network broadcast the Teixeira intro today. First, they introduced every Yankee official above the rank of Receptionist. Then they gave flowers to Teixeira's wife (who resembles Reese Witherspoon), before finally getting to Tex. Very articulate guy, who seemed happy to be a Yankee (and $180 million richer).
***It appears Jason Giambi will be landing back in Oakland for one year. I hope he took his gold lame thong with him.
***Pettitte has refused the Yanks offer of $10 million. I don't know what Andy's thinking. Last year, the Yanks paid him $1.14 million per win. Seems like an awful lot to pay for your 5th starter.
***Now that the Giants have openly backed out of the 'Manny' race, don't you think it's time for Scott Boras to be a little more realistic? He's still asking for 4-5 years at $25 million per year. The Dodgers have now started to look to strengthen their bullpen instead.
***Scott Proctor took his exhausted right arm across the country just to get away from Joe "bring in Proctor" Torre, only to turn around and find Joe waiting for him in LA. After another season of over-use, Scott is trying again. He's gone all the way back across the country to Florida to escape whip of Simon Legree. Rumor has it that he's going to change his name to I. M. Nobody, in hopes that Torre won't be able to find him.
***Displaying complete ignorance of the market conditions for corner outfielders, Bobby Abreu is asking for 3 years at $16 million per year. You may have to sign with the Boras Mystery Team, Bobby.
***For you Pro-Basketball fans, I saw the now-famous "crab dribble" on TV today. I refer everyone to the NBA standing rule: "If LeBron does it, it can't be walking"
