As I Go to Bed…

The Yankees are now one game over 500 (57-56).  I wonder if I’ll see them over 500 again this season.

You really have to suck to get swept by a team (the White Sox) that had just gone 0 and 10 until you come into town.

He Can Always Buy a Ticket

A-Rod says he’s flying to Chicago for the Yankees’ game Monday against the White Sox.

I think the only way he gets in to Cellular Field is if he buys a ticket.

He asked MLB for further negotiations today, and they told him to take a hike.  He asked the Yankees for a meeting about his contract, and they told him the same.

It is of course fitting that A-Rod be in Chicago, home of the 1919 Black Sox, when his suspension is finally handed down.

Adieu, Herman Cain

As White Sox broadcaster Ken Harrelson would say, “He gone.”

Cain was sinking fast in the polls anyway, and this latest allegation of sexual impropriety should finish him off.

Cain is the weirdest, least plausible presidential candidate I’ve ever seen get traction, even briefly, in either party.
