To the Yankiverse:
Frankly, when we started this blog, we recognized that EVERY DAY something happens to make the New York Yankees relevant to the world. Some infielder is screwing a celebrity. Some pitcher is busted for drugs. Some owner's son is running a crack house.
We expect fodder. Do you understand. YANKEE FODDER.
Over the last three months, the only decent fodder has been the Yankees ignorant and disastrous decision to let Johnny Damon -- one of the great makers of Yankee fodder -- walk out the door and take his fodder to Detroit.
In recent weeks, we at IT IS HIGH hoped desperately that the opening of camp would start supplying daily, if not hourly fodder. The entire Yankiverse did. But what we have seen thus far is a disgraceful outpouring of newslets that would be lame if we following the Tampa Bay Rays.
Hughes vs. Joba. Yawn.
Will Jeet go to another team. Are we serious?
ARod wants to blend in. And Nick Swisher is the Easter Bunny.
Folks, the greatest Yankee teams -- Ruth/Gehrig, Mantle/Maris, Munson/Jackson, Jeet/ARod -- were marked by turmoil. I'm talking anger. I'm talking feuds. I'm talking passion.
Will somebody please, please, pleeeeeeeease fight a cop or shag a movie star? IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK?
