I thought that maybe I was the only one feeling awkward about Posada feeling awkward.

If you think champagne is a threat to your eyeballs in New York, you ought to spend a week or two winery-hopping in the Champagne region around Reims, France; visit the crypt of Dom Perignon, father and presiding spirit of bubbly, and have a sip or two of free stuff at each of the two hundred or so private vintners packed in among the hills and villages of the area. We did that on several occasions - a dozen or so years ago, my wife and two young kids nearly got ourselves thrown out of a very nice little auberge for giggling too loudly and pelting each other with grapes - but I will tell you right now, the kind of blindness sets in after your fifteenth or twentieth consecutive tasting for which those goggles will do absolutely nothing.

Loren, ALL the Baseball teams profit from the Licensing Agreement
for these products, the Yankees use this money for their
payroll for good players, other teams use the money for BIG
BONUSES FOR THE OWNERS.
THE YANKEES ARE CHAMPIONS OF BASEBALL……. AGAIN

You know what really bugs me? The commemorative T-shirts and hats. I know it’s done as a money grab to sell them to the fans (“the same shirts worn by the Yankees in their celebration!”), but it looks horrible. Just horrible. I will give credit to the Yankees for removing the tags on the hats and shirts before distributing them though.
What I want to know is what’s in it for the players? They surely would rather not be bothered. Is it written in the contracts somewhere or are they doing it out of some sense of obligation to management? Whatever it is, I’d like to see someone have the guts to just sat no next year and see what happens.
