Raise your hand if you thought the Sox game was over in the first

Seriously, when it was 3-0 before the Sox even came to bat, I was all ready to write a post about why the Dice-K era might be winding down.But Carl Pavano said "I'll see your meltdown and raise you" birthday boy Adrian Gonzalez launched one out that would have been a harmless flyball in Petco and the Sox pulled one out.You take them when you can get them.Let's update the tally.DODGED BULLET GAMES

Pavano's second pay day

He did it... Carl Pavano did it.He got one big huge gigantic contract for more money than you and I will ever see with the $39 million heist from the Yankees.And, after being declared dead from the neck up, got his act together and signed for another $16 million.I wrote about it earlier, but Carl Pavano is indeed living the American dream.OK, can he pull it off again.Come back here in 2013 and

It’s staggering if you think about it from a certain point of view.If I turned the clock back just two years and mentioned Carl Pavano’s name, it would be a baseball punchline.He was the $39.95 million bust with the Yankees… the guy who pitched 9 games total in his last three years with the Yankees… the guy who

Can Yankee fans read this headline without vomiting?

Carl Pavano?Leadership?The man dubbed as "American Idle" by the New York press.The man who signed arguably the worst contract in the history of the New York Yankees.I guess for a Yankee fan, a more likely headline would be ...SYNAGOGUE VOTES MEL GIBSON AS MAN OF THE YEARorPETA HIRES SARAH PALIN AS SPOKESWOMANorMICHAEL AND DINA LOHAN WIN PARENTS OF THE YEARJust goes to show you, some people are
