Fox NEWtS Doing What it Does Best

This item was in Janice Hough's blog this morning:

Fox News reported that "The Undefeated," the Sarah Palin documentary, opened to packed houses. But the article appeared before the film was even showing in theatres. Gosh, who would have expected anything duplicitous from a Murdoch enterprise.

Great to see other people paying attention to the fictional world beamed to us daily courtesy of the NEWTpurt Murdoch Newz Machine.

In real news, you know, the kind of stuff that actually happens -

Bret Gardner had another solid night as the Yankee lead off hitter; 1 - 3 with an RBI, 2 walks, a run scored and a steal. Oh, wait, Girardi moved him into the coveted 8 hole. Doh!

Mark Teixeira's hit (83) to RBI (67) ratio looks like something made up by the NEWTpert. Last night was like so many others this season for Tex. Struggled at the plate (1 - 5) but got the hit for an RBI.

Crazier yet, Francisco Cervelli has blasted out a total of 15, count 'em, hits but has 14 RBIs - the only saving grace in an otherwise dreadful season at and behind the plate. Jose, where art thou? Right, Toronto.

The Yankees need to take advantage of the of their soft, end of July schedule with a 10 game home stand against the A's, Mariners, and Orioles. Looking ahead to the Dog Days, as Keith Jackson said so many times, Whoa Nelly - 30 games in 31 days, 21 games on the road, and a double header thrown in for a really good time.
