Around SBN: Kobe Bryant Isn't Up To Speed On Jeremy Lin, 'Linning'

Funny NYT editorial on A-Rod

A good spoof on the current discussion of A-Rod comparing it to other world events by Tom Peyer and Hart Seely.  I've never heard of them, but I don't read much sports literature.  Anyway it's funny.

A choice bit:

"KEEP Trading A-Rod would lead to a disaster in the American League East. It would embolden other teams and threaten future Yankee clubs. To cut and run is not an option.

TRADE Neither is "Stay the course."

KEEP Not once has the Yankee brass said, "Stay the course." That's never been the plan!

TRADE We need an A-Rod exit strategy. Getting him was always a mistake. We were told the Yankees would greet him as a liberator. After three years, it's a fiasco -- yes, a fiasco. Against the Tigers in the playoffs, he went 1-for-14, struck out with the bases loaded and made a critical fielding error. Each day, the news reports worsened."

Here's a link to the full peice:

Waddya expect from NYT
..with their blame da Yankees first mindset.

word on da street, it was Judy Miller who slapped  tainted "yellow cake" on Kenny Rogers' hand.

What ever way the put it, if we trade A-Rod, then the Mets WIN!

Its also a well known fact, Times staffers are embarrassed to be Sawks fans.

Just remember NYT, ya either with us or ya against us.

This is all Clinton's fault!
