He's a gambling man

Hideki Matsui got married Wednesday. More importantly, he used that to leverage cash from teammates Derek Jeter and Bobby Abreu. Nice job by Matsui. I always say you never make a bet unless you know you're going to win.

Legends Field was renamed. For George Steinbrenner. Whose idea was this? Probably Hank and Hal's. I'm guessing there's a a reason the field is named "Legends." Perhaps it's because the Yankees have so many notable names in their past they couldn't decide who to name it after. Mantle Park would have been nice. Or Huggins Field. But no. George M. Steinbrenner Field.

I know the Red Sox have opened the season, but it doesn't feel that way. Season's got to start on American soil, and it can't come soon enough. Just a little more than three days and we are all reborn. I'm happy steroids and drug have some what sunk to the back burner. Hopefully the garbage with Clemens and McNamee can wait until after the season to raise it's ugly head once more. The only guy happy with all of this must be Barry Bonds. Unemployed? Yes. The poster boy for the tainted era. Not so much anymore.



Scientists worry an asteroid or other space junk will destroy the Earth at some point soon. I'm worried the Earth might collide with Bonds' head.
