I think it's time for Seven to bestow her prestigious Ass of the Year award.

Any nominations?

Ummmm...you can look at it as we lost Pettitte for Brown or you can look at the changes in our pitching staff overall. Brown for Clemens. Vasquez for Pettitte. And Kevin Brown is a righty, not a lefty.

And who cares if Brown is old and Pettitte is young? Clemens pitched pretty well last year. So did Brown. With either pitcher, the deal would be 2-3 years. What's relevant is how they perform during the term of their contract, not afterwards. All this talk about their age doesn't mean much. If Brown puts up better numbers over the next few years than Pettitte (and I'm confident this will happen, especially in the win column -- Houston doesn't have the same run support as the Yankees or the cavernous left field, either) will we have to hear about the difference in the two players' age?

And that article was so poor, I don't know why you would admit to reading it. If you think (like the author of that article seems to) that the Yankees should pack it in and go home next year because boston has Schilling and Pedro, you're crazy. The simple fact is, our whole pitching staff (should we get Brown) has improved. Our rotation would be Mussina, Brown, Vasquez, Contreras, Lieber/Wells/whatever. Brown's ERA last year was 2 point something. If he drops to 3 point something, he'll have a shot at as many wins as Pettitte (who will NOT -- you heard it here first -- be anywhere near as good as everyone thinks he'll be in Houston). Our bullpen will be stocked with Flash Gordon, Heredia, Quantrill and Rivera (and we may keep Karsay, who knows). If we sign Vlad, I will be very happy with our team. If we sign Sheff, I won't be as happy, but I'll be very confident.

Boston's staff has improved in a bigger way in relation to what they had this year, especially if they steal Oakland's closer. But, break down the series between the Yankees and Sox. Pedro lost both his starts (or was winless) and Wakefield did all the heavy lifting (except for the last pitch). While Schilling is clearly better than Wakefield, what's the real impact? Wakefield won all his starts against us. Schilling may win all of his. Last year, Boston lost even though Wakefield pitched his ass off. If I told you at the beginning of the season that Wakefield would win all his starts against us in the Championship Series, you would have laughed in my face if I told you we would still win. So, settle down, Beavis. There's a lot of baseball to be played.

Thank goodness he didn't inherit his Dad's ears (or maybe he wears his hair long for a reason). The combo of the ears with his mouth would be frightening.

Keith's right. Getting knighted is the sort of thing McCartney and Phil Collins do. Its not selling out - its tacky.

Her Cooters royalties should make up for this.

That could be the stupidest thing you've ever written.

Instead of getting the transcription of what Cashman said, you would rather read the interpretation of what Cashman said in an article? That's more accurate? Jesus.

There were two sides to the story. Pettitte's was widely reported. Cashman's was not. Everyone assumed Cashman gave Pettitte the cold shoulder on direct orders from Steinbrenner.

Pettitte's daddy did. Cashman said he did not.

After giving the Yankees anther "chance" to sign him for 52 million (yeah, right), Pettitte turned down a contract that was $9 million above the one he accepted with Houston. I think NotBob was right and he was going home either way. He just wanted the Yankees to look like the bad guys.

No worries, monkey. Stainless steel *is* the best choice when in the cage. Holds up better.

The good news: I have my own cocktail.
The better news: It's not a Pisco Sour.
The bad news: It's a chick drink.

The Grinch
½ oz freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tsp sugar syrup
2 oz Midori liqueur
Frozen maraschino cherry

INSTRUCTIONS: Pour lemon juice, sugar syrup and Midori over ice in a cocktail shaker. Shake it like a Polaroid picture, then strain into a chilled martini or cordial glass. Garnish with cherry.
