Why even play the games?

They must have taken up sniffing glue for Lent at SI.com. Here's the headline over another Johan Santana psalm: "The Savior of Port St. Lucie"

In Minnesota, panic sets in when your snowmobile runs out of gas on lake No. 8,300 in the middle of ice-fishing season or your kid loses your favorite walleye lure in mid-July. In New York, panic sets in when as you give up a home run in the first inning of the first game of the first year of Santana's bazillion-dollar deal.)

Here, then, is the smiley face of Ponce de Santana as he conquers and saves Port St. Lucie:

Word on the street is that unless the Yankees win March 4 in Texas, they should pull out of the race.
