The Yankees sign Sidney Ponson.

Sidney Freaking Ponson.

Just what we need to uphold the great Yankee tradition....one of the all-time great head cases.

Sidney Freaking Ponson.

Lah me......

This is what happens when a team has too much money to spend. They don't care what they buy.
It is bad for baseball.

Spending money is bad for baseball?

Come on. He eats too much, he drinks too much. Seems to me that's a great Yankee tradition. Ruth. . . David Wells. . . and now the beat goes on. :)

Hmmm....these guys were red sox too, no?

But I don't think they were big until they were Yankees, right?

I'll agree.

So, New York City is the Known Apple?

If by "known" you mean the place that is not responsible for The Big Dig then yes.

Hey, quit picking on the Big Dig. Other than the leaks and the roof falling on cars, there's nuthin' the matter with it.

Hmmmm, could be the next great disaster movie:
- The Titanic
- The Poseidon Adventure
- The Big Dig(starring Ron Jeremy)

The only good thing about the Big Dig is that I don't have to drive through it to get to Fenway.

Well, tonight I'm off on my annual pilgimage. This year our destinations are Detroit and Toronto. No ballpark tour in Detroit, unfortunately, but we'll tour SkyDome.

You won't have me to kick around for a few days. You'll have to get your laughs somewhere else. Sorry!!

No problem. We'll just switch to the Cubbies until you're back.

Don't forget that midnight walking tour of downtown Detroit. I hear that it's simply mah-velous.
