Why do I get the feeling that David Paterson isn't going to have to worry about getting illegal World Series tickets this year?


They're saying he pulled a Roger Clemens when they questioned him about the freebies.

Yeesh. Ease up, American justice system. Since when are you so highfalutin perfect?

It's not like the guy saw the game. It's not like he read the fine print on the ticket. He probably thought the Mets were playing Florida.

And it's not going to happen again. Not with a rotation of CC Sabathia, Ivan Nova and the Lennon Sisters. We are soooooooo dead right now that I'm starting to worry about Boston.

Do you believe it? We're starting to look over our shoulders and worry about the Youkilisless, Pedroialess, Papi-juiceless Redsocks. If we collapse and lose to them... folks...

Well...

Of course, Joe Girardi should go to Chicago. He should take Brian Cashman with him. WE SHOULD HAVE SIGNED JOHN LACKEY! YOU HEAR ME? WE SAID IT LAST WINTER: "SIGN JOHN LACKEY AND YOU WILL WIN THE PENNANT." IT WAS SIMPLE. WE DIDN'T HAVE TO REMAKE THE TEAM. WE DIDN'T HAVE TO SHOW HOW SMART A CERTAIN G.M. COULD BE, JUST SO THE NY SPORTSWRITER/COURTIERS COULD SUCK UP TO HIM IN PRINT. WE COULD HAVE LET HIDEKI GO, TAKEN THE EXTRA MONEY AND SIGNED JOHN LACKEY. WE DIDN'T HAVE TO GET JAVIER VAZQUEZ. WE DIDN'T HAVE TO LET AUSTIN JACKSON WALK, WHILE WE SPEND THE SEASON REDIRECTING GRANDERSON'S SWING. WE HAD A CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM, AND NOW, AFTER ALL LANCE BERKMANS AND CHAN HO PARKS, I'LL BE STUNNED IF WE SAVED A PENNY. WE BLEW IT. YOU HEAR ME? WE BLEW IT.
