ALL QUIET ON THE SOUTHERN FRONT

***WHAT, NO CONTROVERSY?***
For the first time since the late '60's, when the Yankees' only goal was to finish IN the American League, there are no scandals, feuds or fights looming in the Yankee camp. Oh, there are some story lines: who's in Left, Granderson or Gardner; who bats second, Granderson or Johnson; who will be the fifth starter, Chamberlain or Hughes? In Girardi's first interview, it took the reporters almost half an hour to get around to A-Rod. They tried: What are you going to do about Jeter's contract? Or Rivera's contract? Or Girardi's? Everyone just smiled. Well, this is no fun. Can't we at least have Swisher & Granderson wrestle over who gets uniform #33? I guess we'll have to count on Vod to find the chink in their armor and make a mountain out of some molehill.

***IN OTHER NEWS...***
Lindsey Vonn, she of the golden tresses and bum leg, wins the gold in the downhill. I see a Playboy Pictorial in her future. Shaun White takes the gold in the Halfpipe event, which I believe is what he smoked before trying some of those stunts.

Johnny Damon is still unsigned and Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still...

Syracuse - Georgetown in another battle of the century tonight. You haven't played in the Big East until you play the Hoyas in Georgetown...especially with a Syracuse jersey on. Forget the final Four, there will be blood on the court after this one.

I say again, if the Mets need a catcher so badly, why isn't Jose Molina being mentioned? I think GM Omar Minaya is such a bad judge of talent, he'd be trying to sign Babe Ruth if he could get a dead man to hold the pen.
