    Is that his belly or did he eat a tire for breakfast?

    Actually on a serious note I think it's great that the Yankee championship nucleas of Jeter, Posada, Mo have come out and stated they will stand behind A Rod. If I'm a Yankee fan this makes me happy knowing that Arod cheating a few years ago while he wasn't even on the Yankees has been forgiven by the leaders of the team.

    The Yankees signed Brett Tomko.

    Tomko is a candidate to be a mop-up guy. Makes sense, theyd rather have Hughes Kennedy and Aceves go down to triple-A and have regular work then have them up with the team pitching in mop up duty.

    I don't know that I'd want Tomko mopping up ANYTHING for me, what with those 51 runs in 70 innings or 6.30 ERA.

    Color me impressed!

    Sure and Fernando Tatis as your left fielder is going to work out great! Oh don't forgot to catch your Met road games at 1:08 instead of 1:05 so you don't waste your time watching Castillo make an out if Manuel really is going to move Reyes down the order.

    I'm just going to make my signature say, "Not A Met or Yankee Fan". It'd probly save a few people from looking like fucking idiots.

    Going to be a hell of a news conference coming up in 30 minutes. Seems a lot of the Yankees are attending. Not sure if they are coming as body guards, interested bystanders or just to take up so much room that it will keep some of the media out.

    Delay...Yankee attorneys must be giving A-Rod the "Sarah Palin" coaching treatment.

    Gene Orza told me, "I was on a list where people might conclude I had taken a banned substance." :rofl:

    A-Cousin thrown under the bus.

    Man, I need this to get into Q&A.

    I thought he'd frost his hair for the occasion. This is disappointing.
