The new, more fiscally responsible Yankee approach is sure to hit Yankee fans like the fire at Happy Land, when it sinks in on Opening Day and everyone’s scrambling to find information on the less-than-stellar names littering the Yankees lineup card.
The fans aren’t the only disgruntled party heading into this Yankee season. A source close to the Yankees told the Shadow League that the Yankees are tiring of Granderson’s feast-or-famine hitting and would trade him for the right deal. Also, if Robinson Cano is truly the Yankees’ future, the source says, then the Steinbrenners aren’t doing a good job with making him feel wanted. And unless the Yankees offer him some mega-deal before he hits free agency at season’s end, there is a possibility that Cano could bounce to a younger, fresher team like the Washington Nationals—a legit rumor confirmed by ESPN’s Buster Olney.
This year is critical for the Yankees and the future of the franchise. It’s been a great run for the old legendary gang of Jeter, Rivera, Pettitte (and Posada who retired before last season), but the changing face of baseball is turning towards new MLB ambassadors like Price.
You can’t stay fresh forever, but this much is clear: the old school, old-timer Yankees need to get their cool back.

That sentence blew me away too. It hit me like the explosion of the atomic bomb in the center of Hiroshima.
That's some good writing there. What or how is a "disaster to" someone? The whole article is a train wreck.
might deserve its own thread: Ichiro might hit 25 HR this year if he feels like it:

Her lap dances not so much.
The Happy Land fire analogy works perfectly, but your thoughtless comment is a bitter insult to the memory of those we lost in the 1906 Halifax embankment crash.
