    Those among us (and there are few...) who went to our *last live ball game at Ebbets Field, we who hate the Yankees more than Satan and all his works, will be rejoicing at the immanent disappearance of Alex Rodrigues from the list of future residents Cooperstown.

    Talk about having your union sell you out.

    Jimmy Hoffa would be turning in his grave, had he not become 175 pounds of Parks Sausage Patties.

    Jim Matles, my godfather, taught me this.
