Brief Review

I was just going through a pile of old notes lying on my closet floor, and found something pertinent.


A note dated mid-March, 2011, jotted on a whiskey-stained piece of stationery from a Tampa Hotel reads:

" Soriano is a head-case. He is a nut job who will never help the Yankees. Wait until there is a big game against some crap team, and he will blow it late.
Why? Because he is a nut case who cannot handle New York. He should never have been signed."

The rest of the jottings on the page are outdated phone numbers, the names of a few horses running at Hialeah, and a reminder that there are no good chinese restaurants in Florida.
