In some old boxing flick
James Cagney a boxer, and Pat O’Brien his priest and coach observe a boxer in the ring genuflect before answering the bell.
Cagney asks, “Father does it help him to do that.
O’Brien the priest answers,
“Not if he can’t punch.”

Why do you care about a t-shirt buried with the lunchboxes, Elvis, and Jimmy Hoffa in the latest taxpayer funded abomination, Rob? Isn’t it bad enough that the taxpayers are being fleeced something like $800million to pay for 25 men to run around in tights playing a kids’ game for bazillions of dollars?

BB,
The sad thing is there is a much more logical and appealing location for the new Yankee Stadium over on the East River. Granted it would have required official condemnation of the property, taking it from the current owners, and subsequent conversion for private development much like was done for the NY Times new midtown tower (Hello, Kelo!). But, hell, the United Nations isn’t doing anything worthwhile with their East River/Turtle Bay property anyway, and they certainly aren’t paying the tax revenues that Yankee Stadium will.

It’s worth it. Wooo hoo! Baseball season is here and I love it. Go ASTROS!

You guys are so screwed!

Are you talking about the ASTROS?

Yeah, two championships in the last three years really sucks. Anyways, the Yankees sucks. They just buy their team and have the highest payroll in the mlb.
I’m sure an extra $76 million will give allow you to buy some talent so you don’t have to cultivate it. Doesn’t Alex make more than an entire team rob?

Bat One; that’s a great suggestion. Sad that it’s too late to give it a try (and spare the legitimate businesses that were displaced for the billion dollar replacements to Yankee Stadium and the Big Blue Toilet Bowl.).

I thought they were disbanded in the interests of baseball.
