Jaret Wright is one Baseball Magnet

Jaret Wright got off to a classic Yankee start last night. He gave up a line drive up the middle which hit him in his side and he somehow managed to hole on to the baseball. Since joining the Yankees Jaret Wright seemingly gets hit by every line drive hit up the middle. He even got hit by a broken bat last year.

So there are a few conclusions to be drawn:

1) He is a baseball magnet, a heart throb seen on all the teenie bopper for baseball magazines.

2) While walking towards the mound a rogue Yankee pats Jaret on the back and sticks on a "Please Hit Me Sign".

3) Jaret is an investor in the new Kevlar enhanced UnderArmour and is being used as the Guinea Pig tester and told to test out the material at least once per outing.

4) Envious of Carl Pavano, Jaret is doing his best to land on the DL without tearing any tendons or muscles in his body.

5) A Jaret hater, and owner of a magic time stopping device, Stephen King stops time after hit baseballs against Wright and redirects them towards Jaret's body and away from his glove.

Lou Holtz is the Homer / Annoyingly Delusional

As my buddy Joe and I always joke, if Notre Dame was suiting up against an all Jesus team, aka a team made up of 55 Sons of God, Lou Holtz would probably still pick Notre Dame to win by a touchdown. So of course this weekend when I'm watching Sportscenter and they have him and fellow old man Corso making predictions, Lou picks ND to beat Michigan. Not that big of a deal, Michigan is a big question mark this year, but of course than Lou says that Notre Dame will win 11 games this year. This is the same Notre Dame that lost to a service academy last year. And just when you thought the douchy homerism was going to end ESPN asks which BCS school is going to be the biggest surprise team in the country. Any guesses to whom it was? I'll give you a clue it was another team he coached. If you guessed South Carolina you would be a winner. Next up on Lou's prediction watch, the Jets win the Superbowl, NC St. wins the ACC, Arkansas dominates the SEC West, Minnesota wins the Big...

Guest Post: Thoughts on Sabathia Signing

I asked Grutt what his thoughts were on the Sabathia signing and I thought his response pretty much nailed it. So here it is. I don’t know. Every year I get a little more disenchanted with baseball. Yea, it’s great we signed the top pitching free agent. But we were supposed to. No team was even in the ballpark of the Yankees offer yet they still needed to jump from the already ridiculous price of $140 million to $160 million to close the deal. Now I hear we are going to sign more pitchers who will also get large contracts and the position player gaps are still glaring. Each new, large contract just adds to the feeling that the Yanks are supposed to win it all. “I think we have a good chance this year.” That is a lost feeling. If they don’t win I’ll wonder why, like there has to be some other reason besides that it’s a sport you can never predict how things will work out and some years just aren’t yours to be won. If they win I will be pleasantly smug. It gets a little more...
