Over the weekend, the Yankees acquired the best player in baseball. On Monday, there were long lines for tickets outside Yankee Stadium. Connect the dots, Chairman Reinsdorf.
No, wait: The Sox already have Juan Uribe locked up.
Rate this: Long ticket lines at U.S. Sox Park if Alex Rodriguez was coming vs. long ticket lines at U.S. Sox Park if Chairman Reinsdorf was leaving. Discuss.
Oops: One reporter at Yankee Stadium addressed A-Rod as “Derek” and asked him about nearly being in a Red Sox uniform. Guess word travels slowly in New York.
Analysis: Eddy Curry said he believes the games the Bulls lost are “because of things we did.” Nope. Sorry. Uh-uh. It’s because of things you didn’t do. Such as work out during the summer. . . . And work extra after practice. . . . And develop toughness. . . . And learn how to guard someone.
Yikes: Shows you how pathetic the Hawks have become: Fans are expressing the same kind of outrage over a second-line wing’s exit as they used to when Billfold Wirtz’s or-gan-I-zation ran out All-Stars and sure Hall of Famers over money and cheaped out in bringing them in for the same reason.
Enough already: Everybody, listen up right now: Stop whining over the Hawks trading their leading scorer. First, being the Hawks’ leading scorer is like being Howard Dean’s campaign manager. Second, you can’t start paying a second-liner until you have your first line set. And third, I never thought he was such a great locker room/team guy, especially because he was a Mike Smith pet. Look, he scored 30 goals once and then never lived up to his deal.
What’s more: No one bought a ticket to watch Sullivan play.
Then again: No one’s buying tickets to watch any of these stiffs play. But still.
The end: A-Rod: “Derek has four world championships and I want him to have 10.”
