Today is International Talk Like a Pirate Day. Really, it is. While that's cool enough, leave it to the meticulous Germans to set themselves apart. Last night, in voting, Germany elected a representative of the youth oriented Pirate Party to a national office. Well done and "Arrrgh!" to all.
Congratulations to Mariano Rivera on his record setting 602 saves. He closed the game in style with a strike out.
And leave it to current management to immediately cheapen a great accomplishment. If you were watching on YES, the very first commercial following Kim Jones' moving post-game interview with Mo was for a commemorative ball, numbered, signed by Mariano, and marked with the "official" 602 saves trademark for the fantastically low price of $199.00. So much for savoring a moment of baseball history when you can shill for immediate cash. Another moment we'll never forget. Very slimy boys.
