Baseball Stuff

I am an unreconstructed Red Sox fan (especially since the Montreal Expos exist no more), so I of course take delight whenever the Yankees lose or something bad happens to them. A friend sent me this link to the blog of diehard Yankees fan, and she just TRASHES Carl Pavano? It is absolutely hysterical...............
