I liked it for a day, when Nixon took umbrage at some of A-Rod's haughtier quotes, and even indulged on my blog, but it is SOOOO weary now. Thank god Tito ordered the team to shut up.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01254673556934217892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8044815.post-1109285331313143532005-02-24T17:48:00.000-05:002005-02-24T17:48:00.000-05:00Dude, thanks for the props.

With another week's hindsight, I guess it was worth something to Giambi, because for some reason I can't understand people seem to think he really did apologize. Personally, I'm puzzled that the sacrosanct "Yankee Mystique" can be mollified by such empty gestures, but as they say, perception blah blah blah reality blah blah blah. We Sox folk do have the luxury of no mystique whatsoever. None. And though that only comes with a lot of losing, it makes life less complicated since nobody ever feels the need to apologize to the uniform.<br /><br />BTW, I love your image of Cashman sitting in the wings, ready to tear up Giambi's deal as soon as the forbidden words are uttered!Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01254673556934217892noreply@blogger.com
