Wailing Into The Void

SI is reporting that A-Rod flunked a steroids test back in 2003.

Stephen A. thinks the Yankees should sign Manny, which is reason enough to convince me they shouldn’t.

Hank and Hal are breaking the bank, committing roughly $426 million to three free agents over the last 10 days or so.  The economy in NYC should suck next year but the baseball should be good.

Manny Ramirez thinks the Yankees are getting ready to make him an offer.

I didn’t bother watching today’s game.  Somehow I just knew.

Since I hardly ever pay attention to college football I just discovered that my alma mater, SUNY Buffalo, pulled a major upset yesterday against previously undefeated and 12th ranked Ball State.  I used to cover the team for the student newspaper, The Spectrum, back in the days when such a victory was unfathomable.  It seems the paper’s online archive only goes back to 2001, so samples of my brilliant coverage aren’t readily available, unless you’re willing to go up to Buffalo and search the print archives.

Bettors who took the Steelers -5 today saw their last second reprieve unjustly taken away from them.

You spared me a lot of grief.  Well done.

Why won’t you just die already?  Damn you, Rays.  Man up and spare me from the unbearable talk of a “Red Sox dynasty” I’ll have to endure if Boston wins the World Series again this year.

My heart warms.  Go Devil Rays.
