I’ve long wished for a pet pig. I’m not rich though and I don’t live in DUMBO (though I used work to there and witnessed the most blitkrieg gentrification I’ve ever seen, even beating out the tidal wave of restaurant openings that washed me out of Fifth ave/Carroll St. Truly horrifying/impressive.)

[0] Don’t trip over Lupica, if he is there, too…

[21] The Yankees had been linked to Sanchez for a while now. He is probably one of the top prospects in the international signing class.

[21] Washington Heights is part of Manhattan and does have large Dominican population, although many parts of the city do now.

[19] And that Ralph Wiley wouldn’t have gone after Roberts on a personal level.

God I miss Wiley. I can’t count how many times I’ve said that since he died.

Forgive a native upstater for asking, but its Washington Heights that has a large Dominican population, right? And I pretty sure that’s not part of Brooklyn . . . but if I’m wrong, folks in Brooklyn ought to be pretty happy today, and folks in Washington Heights will definitely be.

Somewhere, Jim Dean ought to be smiling at all these quality young catchers the Yanks keep snagging.

[16] Good thing Verducci's not there, or there'd be all kinds of Red Rocket questions... >;)

[5] Yeah but do asinine comments from Whitlock really surprise you all that much? Dude’s gotta realize there was only one Ralph Wiley…and he ain’t it.

[13] Brooklyn is steeped in swine tradition. The borough featured a thriving pig trade in days of yore. Some of that history can be seen in some Street names. For example, Varkens Hook Road is derived from the Dutch word for Pig, or so I am told.
