IN THE BATTLE FOR "MOST INANE COMMENTATORS"...

...Tim McCarver vaults into the lead.

***WE WERE ACTUALLY GETTING USED TO DUMB...***
...but this was insulting. First, we had to watch McCarver totally and intentionally lose control of an interview with Reggie Jackson & Tommy Lasorda, now he's dropped way below any limit of good taste. In a rant that was, I guess, supposed to "honor" his good friend Joe Torre, McCarver has compared the Yankee front office to Communism and Nazism. Will this never end? When will Fox Network wake up and dump this guy? I'm not going to quote from this column, I'll let you read the whole thing yourselves.

Okay, Joe Morgan, McCarver has moved the bar even lower. The ball's in your court.

***A WIN AND A LOSS...AND A TANTRUM***
The good news is that the Yanks took two out of three from the '2nd best' team in baseball, increasing their lead in the AL East to a season-high 3 games. The bad news is the loss of Andy Pettitte for at least a month with a strained groin, an injury no male ever wants to suffer. The dumb news is AJ Burnett slamming his hands into a door in frustration, cutting his hand. Fox Network even interrupted McCarver's idiotic blather to show Yankee pitching coach, Dave Eiland, examining used baseballs for signs of blood. Not to check for intentional doctoring, even though Whitey Ford could probably make a blood-soaked ball write his name on the way to home plate, but to see how badly AJ was hurt. He was hurt enough to come out of the game, but not before he hurt the Yanks chances in the game first. Did we learn nothing from Kevin Brown? Next up: a rare two-game series with the Los-Angeles-California-West-Coast-Near-Anaheim Angels, or whatever they're called these days.

I'll leave it to Vod to report on the results of the British Open, which is professional golf, memory serves.
