I_hate_new_york_shirt-p235554561753505844tr96_400_medium

After an eventful 5 innings, the Yankees are out front 11-4, in part courtesy of back-to-back jacks from Teixeira and Cano, the latter of which was a liner hit so hard that it essentially gave an instant mastectomy to a poor woman in the first row of the short-porch bleachers. Jeff Larish hit one waaaay out onto The Grand Concourse (main drag of the Bronx) for the good guys but we are probably going to have to go to the air attack and throw at least two more TDs to stay in this thing, such is the utterly sick attack of the Yankees, who apparently miss Alex Rodriguez like I miss the cancer I had 6 years ago.

Hot-Rod is in and throwing 100+, but it doesn't seem to matter to the Yanks, who lit up a seemingly sinker-less Cahill like a fireworks display.  Marcus Thames just hit to the moon, the 43rd extra-base hit of the evening for the Yankees.  Is it Tuesday yet?

My honest opinion

is that the Yankees are run like a business 100%. Those guys treat it like a business so I doubt that getting along and playing games together is really that important. You make more and the responsibilty is greater in some cases. The younger clubhouses are probably much more fun.

Jeter and A-Rod

probably don’t really have that big of a problem with each other. They are making a shitload of money and that is really all that matters to them.

If you want to go to a cool neighborhood tomorrow with lots of little Japanese pop culture shops

Go to Sawtelle and eat at Giant Robot Eats or Sawtelle Kitchen.

If you want to go to a beach town, I’m partial to Hermosa or Redondo — Santa Monica is a bit too crowded. I haven’t been in LA for a while though so things may have changed.
