Grounds crew appreciation
Kudos to the Little League grounds crew for some great work. When I arrived at the field at 8:45 this morning it looked something like this.
Another reason the Yankees turn my stomach
The New York Post treats us with way too much information today.
And Yankees fans give me snide remarks when they see my son in a Mets t-shirt.

Forget steroids.
Yankee slugger Jason Giambi tries putting pop in his bat with a performance-enhancing thong.
The scandal-scarred first baseman reportedly has admitted that he dons a sensual, tiger-striped, gold lamé undergarment in a bid to boost his confidence when his bat goes cold.
"I only put it on when I'm desperate to get out of a big slump," Giambi told Portfolio magazine's Franz Lidz.
What's more, he has loaned the magic thong to past and current Yanks Derek Jeter, Bernie Williams, Johnny Damon, Robinson Cano and Robin Ventura when they went into hitless streaks.
