I hope A-Rod's suspension finally inspires the player's union to DO THEIR JOB and curb a despotic and arrogant MLB administration intent on pursuing personal grudges (Braun) and voiding legitimate contracts (Rodriguez). Failing that, I hope any one of the baker's dozen MLB tossed on the pyre goes rogue and names names, finally establishing that PED's were and are long tolerated/ignored/promoted by managers and administrator's alike (La Russa anyone?).

Bad News for the Yanks

Yankee Curtis Granderson is out 10 weeks with fractured forearm suffered on a HBP. Damn.

And a court has ruled that the New York Yankees are "The Evil Empire" - at least when it comes to using that phrase in merchandising. Quoting the Wall Street Journal "The panel of judges sided with the Yankees, ruling that the Yankees are strongly associated with the phrase. Allowing anyone else to use the phrase exclusively would likely cause confusion, ruled the judges." You go boyz!
