Hey, The Steak is Great at Hank's House of Heineken

News for the New York Yankees keeps getting better by the minute.



Despite dealing with issues associated with the brand new $1.5 billion Stadium, otherwise known as The House That A-Rod's Cousin Built, which is not only a launching pad for home runs, but also selling less and less tickets through the first four days of operation.


But hey, the steak is great by all accounts!


Today, I traversed upon this little gem:


"They're throwing the book at Roger Clemens.


"American Icon," written by the Daily News award-winning sports I-Team, provides an in-depth look at the last decade of the hard-throwing righty's scandal-scarred career.




Through its 464 pages, the book - subtitled "The Fall of Roger Clemens and the Rise of Steroids in America's Pastime" - lays out the checkered past of the pinstriped great."


And I'm left with the feeling that Clemens spent his entire career with the Yankees. Or, more to the point, all the bad stuff he ever did was while he wore the majestic pinstripes?


What is this, Beat Down the Bronx Bombers and Their Loyal Fans Month? We can't catch a break?


The new stadium is all but the equivalent of a decrepit softball field behind an old farmhouse school in rural Bear's Breath, Colorado, as far as its consistency yielding home runs....


And, no family of four wants to pay over $10,000 to see a game against the Orioles, much less more to see them give up a 21-17 football score to the New England Patriots, errr.. redsocks.


And to top it all off, two bad starts by "Taking It On The" Chien-Ming Wang were further scrutinized this week after giving up his third horrific start of the season this weekend to the Indians of CLeBronland. If you showed up in the second inning because of traffic -- GUESS WHAT? Game over, thanks for your ten grrr, please come again!


But hey, the steak is great!


Is there an Olympia Sports worth of David Ortiz, Jonathan Papelbon and JD Nancy Drew jerseys buried under this goddam thing? Are we cursed? Is it A-Rod's fault?




Did She-Fan curse them over a splendid dinner of Turkey Burgers for not advertising her book at Coors Field East? COORS FIELD EAST??!!??




Can We at least come up with a better name than Coors Field East? (Listen up here Post, News and Times scribes!)


How about Hanks House Of Heineken?

I can't believe they kept Freddy Sez out. That's way worse than my ad.
