BTW, hearing about his earlier gaff was much different than seeing it (later). When I heard the announcers talking about it, they made it sound like he was show-boating or taking the play nonchalantly. But in the replays you can see the dude was charging in to make the catch and just made a bad decision on glove positioning. Then, while falling, he made three desperate, but near brilliant, efforts to re-catch it. It's not the image of a guy goofing around that I was lead to believe. [9] Oh, must check it out.

I miss FJM so much too!! Man, A-Chap on the Reds really has a thunderbolt left arm..how can anyone make contact against that heat?

I actually don't mind some good Yankee-bashing, if it's done well and in the right spirit. (If I couldn't stand it I would have a very hard time reading local sports!) But there's no interesting idea in this one -- it's just "Oh, the Yankees spend so much money and other teams <i>literally</i> can't afford to compete!" And it's written in trite sports-hack style, right from the first bloodless sentence, which ends with "... , this play from Ichiro Suzuki last night." Eyeroll. Gag. (And to top it off, he seems not to realize that the Yankees <i>traded</i> for Ichiro. They didn't buy him. Idiot.) Please come back, Mike Schur! What an awful article at Deadspin.
