Bullshit Trade Rumor Evaluation #1
Bobby Abreu for Jermaine Dye
This is a trade that works in the favor of the Yankees. Jermaine Dye is an immediate upgrade in right field, as it seems that Abreu has forgotten how to play the position. He is also a power upgrade that would be very valuable with the loss of Giambi (even though he hasn't been a threat all year) in protecting Alex Rodriguez, the greatest player we will ever see. Some perspectives that I have read equate this trade to "rearranging lawn furniture", but Dye could very well be a David Justice-like addition to the team, minus the beating of Halle Berre.

Classic
Yankees v. Red Sox finally lives up to its billing
As the baseball world hopes quietly for Barry Bonds to get hit by a trolley car, the man who will eventually overtake his career home run record shines on baseball's biggest (regular season) stage.
This is how they were supposed to look. It seemed like the baseball gods realized how unfair they had been to the boys in Pinstripes, and how overly generous the Red Sox had been treated. We came to find that Hideki Okajima was not a head jerking cyborg, but a regular Asian pitcher who gets figured out after 3 months like the rest of them. Even Papsmear got touched for a game winner at the hands of ARod. The pitching was shotty, and the offense was unstoppable. Bobby Abreu, Robinson Cano, and Melky Cabrera were the large contributors that they were expected to be, and the bullpen was just good enough to pull out two of three.
Now don't get me wrong, the Yanks were far from perfect. Scott Proctor was horrific, Derek Jeter took the weekend off, David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez looked like George Bell and Jose Canseco in RBI Baseball. We also found out that Roger Clemens has a groin problem (probably caused by Susyn Waldman being attached to it). This means the return of Matt DeSalvo to the team, the 2007 version of Sam Militello, to get pummeled by the White Sox. The job now is to pick up a couple of games, and hold down the fort until Clemens and Hughes are up and running.
Sorry, Boston. This summer won't be easy.

Because nobody else will...
Fowl Balls Defends ARod's Rights (even if he is a scumbag)
For the first time this season, the Alex Rodriguez shit show re-appeared.
The NY Post reported that ARod was seen bringing a busty blonde back to his hotel room after frequenting an upscale gentlemen's club. I don't want to alarm anyone, but this type of behavior is not news within the realm of Major League Baseball. The fact is that if we banned players for being general scumbags, we would have no heroes. From Cobb to Mantle, and Ruth to Rose it has been proven over and over for the past hundred years that the most amazing athletes can be the most questionable of human beings. The problem with this article run by this poor excuse for a periodical is that it should have never been published. This is not something that will stop with Alex Rodriguez. Now every player is subject to this scrutiny, leaving ARod, Jeter, and Damon as open to paparazzi photogs as Hilton, Lohan, and (insert third spoiled, stupid, skinny, skank here). I sincerely hope that the lapse in judgement by this one tabloid-level paper doesn't ruin the Yankee coverage that I enjoy that is presented by reputable journalists.
