Hot Stoving in September

To answer Picasner's question re: manager of the year in his last post - Yes, you are.

I tuned into the game tonight just as Michael Kay was announcing the Yankee batting order for the fifth inning... "Overbay, Reynolds and Ryan."

My mate commented, "I've heard of Overbay but who are those other guys? Are you sure this isn't an L.A. Law rerun?"

"No, the L.A. Lawyers win way more than these guys."

Hey Chad, what's the over/under on the number of guys on the Yankee's last 25 man roster that will be on the team next year? A stretch limo full?

When a team is playing mediocre ball the banality of their marketing efforts are fully exposed. How lucky to have a big bowl of the Official Ice Cream of the New York Yankees while washing the Official Socks of the New York Yankees in the Official Laundry Detergent of the New York Yankees while taxpayers foot a large part of the bill on interest payments on the Official Stadium of the New York Yankees.

And a hale and hearty "Arrrrrrrrrrg!" to all on Talk Like a Pirate Day.
