It’s hard to believe my beloved Yankees are this desperate!

There was a time when televised sports (The Gilette Cavalcade of Sports)sold shaving products and cigars. It sickens me, the way it’s all been politicized. Professional sports started to alienate me when Michael Jackson did a Superbowl halftime. Now we have sportscasters like Olberman. Ugh!

*Dons flame suit* I dunno, she makes a lot better sense throwing out the first pitch (being that she grew up in NY) than Hillary donning a Yankee hat and proclaiming to be a fan.

As a Boston area fan, I never thought I could feel this much sympathy for a Yankee fan...

At least the conservative ones...:)

Supreme Court justices are supposed to be seen and not heard in public.

I guess no one clued the ‘wise latina’ on decorum.

Don’t cheapen the robe too much honey.

Scalia gives frequent speeches. Clarence Thomas wrote a book called My Grandfather's Son. And I'm sure the other Justices have been heard in public plenty of times.

Maybe she can borrow Obama’s baseball jeans for the big pitch. I am willing to wager that she has a better arm than our pitcher-in-chief.
