Yankee excitement already building for 2011

Hey, only 150-something days until pitchers and their surgeons report, or the first fake game, or the Winter Meetings, or the opening spray-painted obscenity on Bud Selig's bronze statue in Milwaukee.

I can't wait to see Cashman repaint our Sistine canvas. Who will be the Javier Vazquezes and Nick Johnsons of 2011! Is Tanyon Sturze pitching for the Newark Bears? Has Scott Proctor burned his uniform lately? Wait a minute: Carl Pavano! He was a beloved team lugnut in Minnesota. We can sign Johnny Gomes...

Paul Quantrill...

Derek Lowe...

What's on TV tonight? No games to intervene! It's our old Sunday night life. Disney's World of Color. Smothers Brothers. Bonanza...

Only 150something days until the first Lupica column calling out AJ Burnett. Only 150something days until John Sterling's next Little Debbie Snack Cake Seventh. Fifteen minutes will save 15 percent. Get excited, everybody! Only 150something days until we're driven by Jeep. Yahoo! I'm soooooooooooooo fooooooooooooooocking happy!
