RI Yankee fan gets a Red Sox goat

This falls into the 'Ever wonder what goes on in your old hometown?' department.

A Bristol, RI Yankee fan received an anonymous gift of a goat wearing a Red Sox hat tied to a tree in his front yard, according to an article in the Bristol Phoenix. It has been determined that the unnamed Yankee fan is not my father.

Did I hear something about the yankees?

Did I hear that the yankees won the World Series in some godawful high number like 6 games? Meh. Come back and talk to me the next time they win 8 straight World Series games. Come back and talk to me the next time they break an 86 year, or 88 year, (or even more years if you're a Cubs fan) World Series title drought.

Not only did Lee slay the beast...

… he did it with the greatest of ease. His bid for a World Series complete game shut-out was dashed when Jimmy Rollins’ throwing error in the bottom of the 9th allowed the lonesome Yankee run.

Not only did he toss a complete game masterpiece, he also had two web gems, taboot.

And off in yonder distance...

... the devil rears it's ugly horns.

This is just wrong

This is just so wrong on so many levels, you'll have to read it for yourselves.

Clarification

From Wikipedia:

The 21st century is the current century of the Christian Era or Common Era in accordance with the Gregorian calendar. It began on January 1, 2001 and will end December 31, 2100.

As of yet, the Yankees have not won a World Series in this year, decade, century, or millenium. If they should do the unspeakable, they still will not have won 2 World Series in this decade, century, or millenium.

So there.

Wake's sugery a success

According to a Red Sox spokesperson, Tim Wakefield underwent surgery today to address a herniated disk which was a major factor in Wake's limited post-All Star Game appearances. The surgery should not affect his return to the Sox spring training. Theo Epstein has said that Wakefield is in the Sox plans for 2010, but wanted to wait and see how the surgery went before sitting down to negotiate the recurring $4 million dollar option that they have on him.
