All the news the New York Times "forgot" - to print

Whoa!

Well, well... Could a game go worse then that? America's team lost - and they also lost their slugging outfielder! Hideki Matsui broke his wrist while valiantly diving for a blop single in the first inning... Gary Sheffield, the Yankees leftfielder was already on the DL before the game so - that leaves us with only John Damon remaining from the day one starters. Matsui is expected to be out for at least three months - but however - he'll be back in plenty of time for the World Series which will be held in the Bronx this year...


I'm willing to play outfield and I'm currently waiting for the phone call from Brian Cashmen (great name for a Yankees GM - Cash Man....). I don’t know… I guess I'll settle for five million dollars in guaranteed money if they add a 3 million dollar signing bonus... The Yank's are also looking into the avablilty of players such as Alfonso Soriano, Torii Hunter, Bobby Abreu and Shannon Stewart. All pretty solid ballplayers.

We shall see...

Yankees! America's team? Well lets see we have Matsui in left(Japanese) Damon in center(Cavemen are not American) Sheffield in right(Steroids are unAmerican) in the infield we have A-Rod at third(Dominican) Jeter at short(OK so we have one finally!) Cano at second(another Dominican) Giambi at first(OK two) Posada behind the plate(Puerto Rico wasn't part of America until 1898) and Williams at DH(same comment as above) So how is this AMERICA'S team?

One note, A-Rod was born in the U.S. and his grandfather fought in WW2... Posada is from Peru...

I really don't see how their not America's team. How about them winning 12 day games in a row??
