Michael Anthony, 25, was watching the New York Mets lose a game on Saturday from his home in the borough of Queens when he began furiously banging on the walls, Queens District Attorney Richard Brown said in a statement on Monday.

It's nearly August 1, the day when Yankee fans rise before dawn and run downstairs in their jammies to open the gifts from the trading deadline. What will we get?
Seventeen-year-old Jesus Montero, the millionaire future Yankee savior, hit HOME RUN NUMBER TWO for the Gulf Coast team Saturday.
Note: We agree that this is in poor taste. But $50 million for a mediocre, Double A middle innings reliever is also rather sour.
What are we going to do with him? 
We haven't had so many potentially bad DH's since the days when Danny Tartabul, John Mayberry and Ron Kittle made up our rotation. 
During this brief interlude from the pennant race, a look at some of the great cheers in store:
Three field goals?
It's 24-year-old Trenton shortstop Alberto Gonzalez, one of the crown jewels of the Yankee justice system!

The latest from Cal Thomas, public pundit, secret Yankee columnist.
That $25 million is chicken feed, considering the city's $59 billion budget. But give the First Fan a $3 trillion federal purse, then do the math:City taxpayers subsidized the salaries of nearly a dozen top Yankees execs between 2001 and 2005 and paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for lobbyists for the new $1.3 billion Yankee stadium, a new report charges.
Team management even charged the city for the cost of hotel rooms for owner George Steinbrenner and his daughter Jennifer Swindall and for a percentage of the salaries of Steinbrenner's two sons, team executives Hank and Hal Steinbrenner.
The civic watchdog group Good Jobs New York says the money came from a $5 million annual "New Stadium" planning fund.
The fund - $25 million over five years - was approved by former Mayor Rudy Giuliani in his final days in office.
We can spend $12.7 billion.
Put it toward middle relief, a designated hitter and a back-up catcher who can hit better than .125, then watch the rings pile up on our fingers.
The Red Sox know this.
They're so scared of our Rudyville Slugger that they're fielding their own leather--and they even call him "Mitt."

DONNIE BASEBALL: Can, It's a sad day when Jason Giambi gets probed about steroids, but nobody out there is probing Curt "Ketchup" Schilling about what he knows. Here's a guy who paints his socks during the post-season, who rants all night on his blog, who's bigger than a boat, and who told Congress he never saw evidence of steroids in his entire baseball career. Who is he kdding? Why aren't they calling him in? All they have to do is wave a cheeseburger! He'll come running. Lord knows, he's got the Heinz!
CAN: Donnie, I'd disagree, but I can't. You're right. Once again, you're freakin' absolutely right.
Over their last 10 games, the Ketchup Socks are 3-7. They just lost two of three to the KC Royals at Fenway.
Their lead, once at 14-and-a-half, is now seven games.
Six in the loss column.
Their fans are booing J.D. Drew.
He has a tweaked hammy.

On the surface, conservative columnist Cal Thomas seems to write about American politics.
Q. Kyle, a reader from Syracuse asks--
Q. Do you still have confidence in Kyle Farnsworth?
"Ode to the 'Pen" 
EXCERPT:
Jesus Montero, that is.
We are so quick to laugh and belittle players when they hold out or complain about contracts. Especially when they say "this isn't about money, this is about respect".Sheff went 7 for 15 in Seattle this weekend. He hit a grand slam. He walked four times. He stole four bases in four attempts. He stole home.
Until you have been a Negro, belittled by Joe Torre in front of the mostly white Yankees, you will never understand how true it is.
