Spring training is a weird thing. John Weber, who hits the cover off the ball all spring, doesn't even get a cup of coffee in the Bronx to cap off a stellar minor league career.

And yet Marcus Thames, who's been so crappy for all of March that he might as well have used a rolled up newspaper when he stepped to the plate, gets to go north with the big club and receive major league hotel accommodations AND meal money.

And on top of that, they tore down Gate 2 of the old Stadium.

Cashy, you got some splainin' to do....

You're not going to let a guy who hit .483 get beaten by a freak show carnival act, are you?
