Good Morning, Pinstripe Alley. What a morning it is. I can't quite put my finger on it, but for some reason the grass seems greener, the air smells fresher, and the water tastes more like the tears of many a New Englander. Delicious. Onto the news & notes.
The Pinstripe Press
The primary news in the merry ol' land of rings still deals with GM Brian Cashman, who has been dealing with an alleged stalker. My first thought was Chad Gaudin. Seriously though, this whole situation is very weird, sad and continues to get more interesting. The latest report is that Cashman may have outfoxed her via texting. but I'm sure there will be more to this story as the week progresses.
In further non-baseball related Brian Cashman news, apparently Cashman might lose a lot of money in the divorce. According to the Daily News article, the divorce proceedings might be influenced by the outcome of everything going on with Cashman's alleged stalker.
In less scandalous, happier Yankee news, this weekend former Yankees Roy White and Mickey Rivers visited Auburn, NY for a charity fundraiser. The fundraiser included autograph signings, as well as some memorabilia for sale and auctions, which all go towards raising money for Everest Park. It's always nice to see former Yankees doing things like this for a good cause.
Other news after the jump...
The Away Teams
The Red Sox avoiding arbitration with former Yankee Alfredo Aceves. Yesterday he agreed to a $1.2 million dollar contract, something I wish I could do one day. It will be interesting to watch if the Red Sox decide to use him as a starter this year or keep him in the bullpen. It could depend on where Roy Oswalt signs. Also, David Ortiz and the Red Sox still have not agreed on anything yet.
If you haven't checked it out yet, River Ave. Blues has an awesome new page dealing with Amateur Signing Bonuses. Some of the amounts may shock you.
Finally, unless you didn't watch the Super Bowl last night, the New York Giants defeated the New England Patriots 21-17 in a thrilling game. I can't speak for anyone else, but seeing a Boston team lose, no matter the sport, always puts a euphoric smile on my face. The ticker tape parade down the Canyon of Heroes is scheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 7th at 11AM. Just a thought, but if you plan on attending, you might want to consider getting there earlier than that.
Only 13 more days till pitchers and catchers report. Lets hope the New York Yankees can join the NY Football Giants down the Canyon of Heroes this year. In fact, with the NY Rangers seemingly doing well on the ice, perhaps we can make 2012 a New York sports year!
Finally, because I think this is funny, see how classic literary types dealt with critics.

Lived in Auburn most of my life. I had to look up where Everest Park is.
Hemmingway on critics:
If the book is good, is about something that you know, and is truly written, and reading it over you see that this is so, you can let the boys yip and the noise will have that pleasant sound coyotes make on a very cold night when they are out in the snow and you are in your own cabin that you have built or paid for with your work.
"...perhaps we can make 2012 a New York sports year..."
Oh, great. Just in time for the Apocalypse.

Just once I'd like someone to call me "Sir," without adding, "You're making a scene."

they would have known Cortez was coming…

I have this unsettling feeling
that Cashman’s divorce proceedings and the court case against his stalker are going to provide me with more insight into Brian Cashman’s sex life than I ever wanted to know.

Brian Cashman's putative divorce is something I want to know nothing about.
Unless it becomes as entertaining as ARod’s personal affairs, in which case I will admit to complete hypocrisy and follow it religiously. Unless Cashman has a portrait of himself as a satyr, or a siren, or perhaps as Robin, the Boy Wonder, I suspect that I will not be keeping tabs on the destruction of his personal life.
I understand the BoSox and their rotund DH are headed for arbitration.

one of the greatest cases of the Mondays of all time!
Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows
Here's a bold prediction
if the story from Baseball Nation on the side bar is to be believed, then Jeremy Guthrie’s pitching stats are about to improve remarkably. He’s being traded from the AL East to the NL West.

Giants fan are still obsessed with Rex
You should be thanking him for the motivation.
Should you choose to test my resolve in this matter, you will be facing a finality beyond your comprehension, and you will not be counting days, or months, or years, but milleniums in a place with no doors.
we are obsessed
We’re trying to catch up to the number of Super Bowls he’s won. How many is that again? It’s gotta be 5 or 6 already, based on how much he talks.

I dont recall him saying they actually won the SB
He said they were going to win the SB. Obviously he looks like a fool for the stuff he says, but Giants fans should be celebrating a great SB win, not on the Jets or their loudmouth coach. Giants organization is better than that, fans should be too.

it takes 2 seconds to point and laugh
plus there’s the fact about this entire season where Giants fans were told how bad their team was, right or wrong, and about how all these other teams were winning it. Jest, Eagles, Cattleporks…all these fans needs to get got.

I guess I can see where you are coming from
Enjoy,lol

yes
I won’t be thinking about Rex Ryan while watching the parade. Unless someone makes for my feet.

not really
I just use his mannerisms for entertainment. Since that’s what he is, a jester.

He is entertaining, at least you give him that
Im hoping the Giants winning makes him tone his act down a bit.

Mickey Rivers story ...
Years ago, I was working for the Texas Rangers when Mickey was there. Needless to say say, all of the home games were nighttime affairs. (it was still nearly 120 degrees on the field at game time) Mickey loved betting the ponies, so he would fly to Louisiana just about every day, under the name Miguel Rivera. He’d catch a few races or more then fly back. A friend of mine was his ‘offical team driver’ who’s only task was to make sure Mickey was back in time for the game. More than a few times, Mick was a bit late and quite literally, suited up and ran to CF for the first pitch, then proceed to go 2 for 4 with a SB or 2. He used the name Miguel Rivera for just about all his ‘off field’ activities and antics (quite a few! Mickey being Mickey was the explaination) and he actually spoke a sort of broken Spanish when required. Back when they tried to have a senior Baseball League, he played under that name.
cash's sex life
who cares? that’s for the enquirer, star, & tmz. i just hope it doesn’t interfere w/ his ability to do his job, & so far it hasn’t. that’s my problem w/the world today, nobody seems to know how to MYOB!
As was I
Actually, I’ve been to every Yankees parade since 96

Only guy I felt bad for was Kraft
I didnt like NBC showing us his response as the pass fell in the end zone, he obviously was thinking about something deeper than football.
Should you choose to test my resolve in this matter, you will be facing a finality beyond your comprehension, and you will not be counting days, or months, or years, but milleniums in a place with no doors.
yea I got nothing but respect for Kraft
if it was Jerry Jones or Lurie or Woody I’d love to rub that W in his nose. Really the only thing I don’t like about the Patriots is the city they play in/for.
Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows
I agree if it was Jones or Lurie, I wouldve been loving it
My hate goes a bit deeper for the Pats but I still respect Kraft.

yes that's true
There are some things more important than football.
