Saturday, if you board a casino bus from your senior center, you can get your photo taken with the Yankee 2009 World Championship Trophy


The Trophy will be on display, signing autographs, at the Mohegan Sun Resort and Casino all day.

Who knows maybe good seats for the Kenny G Show are still available, too!


(Didn't Willie Mays and Mickey Mantle once get kicked out of baseball for a year because they signed on as casino greeters? Nah, it couldn't have happened. Must be my imagination...)

    Bah. When the RedSocks last won, they took the trophy on a filthy furry-filled sex tour of all of CT, including the state capitol. It was generally seen (by me) as a plot to claim the battleground state as a "New England state" instead of a "Tri-State."

    The Governor herself even used the event to make a sickening statement glorifying that "Nation."

    See the bottom of this release:

    And all the Yankees can do is send it to the freaking middle-of-nowhere casinos? Maybe the blue-hairs at the slots will glance for a second.

    YOU'RE DROPPING THE BALL. TAKE BACK CONNECTICUT!!!

    So the trophy is coming to the CT State Capitol after all. But let's compare Gov. Rell's statements.

    Jan 2008:
    “I would like to thank the Boston Red Sox for rescheduling the trophy tour and for giving baseball fans in Connecticut, particularly Red Sox fans, the special opportunity see a piece of baseball history up close. Like I've said before, we are a state divided when it comes to our baseball allegiance but we all appreciate and are fans of this historic past time. On Friday, it will be Boston Red Sox Day in the State of the Connecticut -- the day this part of Red Sox Nation will join other fans across the state in celebrating the 2007 World Series championship,”

    Feb 2010:
    “For baseball fans of all stripes, counting down the days to spring training has always helped us get through the long, cold days of winter. Spring training is now right around the corner and having the World Series trophy in Connecticut this week will remind us all of warmer days and months ahead,” Governor Rell said. “It also will make for a great free family outing for those who have children out on school vacation this week.”

    So you sure you don't want to mention any particular team's name this year, Jodi? Like maybe the team that WON THE DAMN THING?? Good Riddance, Jodi.
