SJ – I didn’t realize that Goodell froze his salary. The day that Selig does that is the day that you-know-what freezes over.

Humberto Sanchez is beginning to frustrate me – the guy can not stay healthy. I would not count on him to play any role whatsoever this year for the Yankees…..

I will be checking this blog constantly for updates on the workouts today. Ah, the sound of AJ and CC fastballs popping in the glove……the true sounds of spring.

SJ, although I wasn’t at last night’s event, I read Alex’ speech in the papers and I was impressed. As you said, he’s not about to commit Hari Kari because the media won’t let this go. I honestly think the very best thing he could do would be to ignore the media – just don’t read the papers or listen to sports talk radio. Why should he (or any player) care what these clowns think? These mediots are taking this all too personally, as if Alex killed their pets. I don’t like Keith Law, but he nailed it when he compared the behavior of A-Rod and Ray Lewis and the reactions to both by fans and media. It’s a joke. One more piece of advice for Alex – nothing he does (even before this story broke, this was the case) will ever be good enough, so at the press conference, he should just be himself – be human, be genuine. If that doesn’t satisfy the media’s need for a pound of flesh, so be it. It’s a one and done deal…….. Still, every time he hits a HR this season or has a big game, the mediots will question the legitimacy – we’d better be prepared.
