Yankee Doodoo

The Yankees pitching staff was pretty much in the gutter until yesterday afternoon when Roger Clemens made a cute little announcement at Yankee Stadium that ol' George had signed him back on the team. Deadspin.com said it best when they said Clemens "is the master of playing the prettiest girl at the prom." The pro-rated contract is worth $28 million. I just saw on Deadspin where someone calculated that Clemens will make approximately $8,888 per pitch this year.

This whole thing speaks for itself, reiterating why the Yankees should be impossible to root for. I'm just glad that we get to root for the classiest team in baseball whose majority of players actually grew up in Georgia being Braves fans and came through our farm system. Actual Braves. Is there such thing as a real Yankee other than Jeter?

What's the deal with Blogger cutting out the double space we put after every sentence-ending punctuation?


Madness? This is a wet floor!

The wankees are down this year, and I really don't see this making that much of a difference. Clemens is an asshole who thinks he is bigger than the game.

The Yankees can have Mark Redman if they want him.
