The Tools of Ignorance: Wednesday News

PrintWell it sounds like a Derek Jeter deal might finally begin to move towards reality, after Casey Close and Brian Cashman met for the first time in 3 weeks, following their very public war of words.
"nothing is imminent... nothing is imminent... nothing is imminent"
Did you spend any parts of last season wonder who on earth could afford to buy those season tickets behind home plate, or which rich stunads left playoff games in the 4th inning? Apparently, it was these crooks.
In case you missed it last week, when the Yankees agreed to let Jonathan Albaladejo go to Japan to play for the Giants, they got $1.2M back in return. Can't wait to hear the audio on the Public Address for his first entrance.
Be sure to come back to PA at 11 AM EST to vote for our PA Book Club December book, and back again at 1 PM EST for a look at the stories of Gil McDougal and Herb Score.

What’s the rules about going to Japan, was he forced to use that loophole where he “retires” from the MLB, or are the rules different for MLB players going to Japan?
I think that if he’s granted his release by the Yankees he’s a free agent and eligible to sign with any club.
Now, aren’t there rules preventing an agent from shopping his clients to other teams while under contract? Maybe they got permission from the Yanks and it just hasn’t been reported?
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
What I don’t understand is why the Yomiuri Giants paid out $2.15M to get Alby.

Maybe Abaladejo will go to Japan and come back like Cecil Fielder did (only not as fat).
Jeter will get a deal done, we’ll all feel stupid for blogging endlessly about it, and everyone who buys a $2,500 seat for a baseball game will be indicted just on the principal of the thing.
Our ignorance needs no ‘tools.’ It is entirely self- propelled and self- sustaining.

There are no $2,500 seats.
Strikeouts are boring- Besides that, they're fascist. Throw some ground balls - it's more democratic.

jeet and the red sox
i worry about thered sox being ready to pounce. am i wrong to think that? i think jeet will be back, but it’s in theback of my mind, they just might try and take him away to piss off the Yankees Universe. whether he wants to go is another story. i wrote about it on my blog. check it out.

Lets be honest
It’s the only way to afford those seats.

I'm sure they'll butcher Abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz's name as much as we butcher Japanese names.
The monkey's the only cookie animal that gets to wear clothes, you know that?...so I'm wondering, do the other cookie animals feel sort of ripped? Like, is the hippo going, 'Hey, man, where are my pants? I have my hippo dignity.' And you know, the monkey's just, 'I mock you with my monkey pants!' And then there's a big coup in the zoo.
