A Few Thoughts While Watching Yanks/Sox


I am quite excited for football this week, if only to quit talking about this silly sign stealing stuff. You steal signs in baseball and someone throws at your head. In football apparently you tattletale. Eric "The Rat" Mangini did not mind stealing signs while Coaching the Patriots. Needless to say he will not be a Made man anytime soon.
Taking away draft picks is too harsh of a penalty if you ask me. Except the Pats have 2 first round picks, and 3 third round picks next year. The pick they lose will be the 30th pick. The other pick is from the 49ers. Which would you prefer?

Andy Pettitte looks like shit. Jason Giambi looks the same. Matsuzaka looks like 3 week old sushi. Yet the Yankees are leaving a ton of runners on base. Not a good way to win the division. Also not a good night to be without Farnsworth (neck), Vizcaino (shoulder), and Joba (the Joba rules). Can Guidry come out of the pen?


Speaking of the Giants......The home opener is this weekend as is the debut of Derek Ward and the Pillsbury Throughboy, Jared Lorenzen. If Eli is on the field on Sunday Coughlin should be beaten on the sidelines. Sit him and let him have 2 weeks rest before we play the Redskins next weekend. No word on whether the Giants will play with 11 men on the field last weekend. I didn't see them have any safties on the field last Sunday night. The offense was great. Let's hope the past 7 days were spend on tackling and covering the middle of the field.
