The Thing in Our Clubhouse Closet

There's something unsettling in Yankeeland this year.

Sure it's early. Sure there's time for the pitchers to pitch better, the hitters to hit better, the fans to buy more at the concessions, but ...

There's somebody, out there, watching Brian Cashman's every move...

Someone watching Johan Santana's name in the boxscores after Mets games ...


Someone asking, should we have stayed with our youth movement, or gone for the quick buzz ...


Someone's lurking, waiting in the shadows every time Morgan Ensberg practices playing first base in a real game...



Someone in the shadows, who signs checks and decides the fates of baseball general managers ...




Who could it be?


It's ...

It's ...



It's ... probably nothing.

STUBBY STEINBRENNER!

I'd almost forgotten about him.

The secret government.

That guy used to whip me with an ugly rope when I was 4. When that masked guy tossed him down that hole, I was all "Ssssssssssssseeeee ya!"

That shot of Cheney has been adopted as the new "State Flag" in all of America's red states.

For the rest of America; be aware. Be very aware.
