I’m Jewish as well. Where is the anti-semitism here? Some guy makes a crack about a klan meeting, tongue in cheek? Just ignore it.

The joke was stupid, but I agree with the Yankees zero tolerance policy here. Why make Tynan the subject of the news, when it should be about the Yankees?

On another note, why not name some Red Sox in your list of steroid users? Plus, Steinbrenner owns the team.

Jeez! I mean, I get the Yankees axing Tynan. He made a controversial comment that could offend a significant portion of the Yankee fan base, and he’s definitely not a necessary part of the organization. I also get people being very sensitive about such comments. Though Tynan is powerless and cannot ’cause any real harm to anyone, the attitude of too many people regarding antisemitism is way too cavalier. But let’s keep things in perspective, here. No one’s saying Tynan is not a jerk. And, as far as I’ve seen, no comments here have been anti-semitic, aside from those attributed to “Pat Buchanan,” who that commenter is obviously ridiculing for antisemitism.

Put away the big stick, Jay. It’s fine to register your displeasure with comments you find objectionable. But tossing around empty threats about shutting down the blog (through the courts, no less) just makes you look silly.

And please, everyone, enough of the Tynan story. He did something stupid, he got banned. The end. Let’s stick with baseball.

Go Yankees!

Go Yanks!

Besides Tynan’s album version of God Bless America lasts longer than game two did!

I’m not a big fan of “post-season” records because it is so blatantly skewed in favor of the wild card era players. Still, someone has to have the most post-season wins so it might as well be Pettite.
