Cliff Lee vs. New York Yankees »
Personally witnessing Cliff Lee manhandle the New York Yankees in two different uniforms, at both Yankee Stadiums, was far from fun. All I can say is Cliff Lee is that good. Our first time in 2008 was like a blind date, as Lee wore a Cleveland Indian uniform back then. I was simply going to see a regular season game and watched the Yankees [...]

Lady Gaga Stay Away From Baseball »
Lady Gaga, please stay away from baseball games and don’t come back to Yankee Stadium or Citi-Field again. Hasn’t she embarrassed her family and friends enough?
