The Daily Yankeeland - 5/20

Maybe we should change that title to the sometimes Yankeeland, since we haven't been writing it on a daily basis. Anyway........

Bob Raismann doesn't write new stuff every day either which is why he's a week behind in his shot at Hank Steinbrenner. Even Suzyn Waldman took a shot at Boss Jr. when she was on with Benigno and Roberts on the FAN.

"No. I don't think anybody pays attention (to Hank Steinbrenner)," Waldman said. "... Every time Hank goes out and says something, 10 minutes later he's saying, 'Well, that's not exactly what I meant to say.'"

That's stunning coming from one of the all-time Koolaid drinkers. Of course Waldman does have a point. As the Post's Kevin Kernan reports, Hank said yesterday not to count out the Yankees.

The NY Times reports that the idiot who buried the David Ortiz jersey in the concrete of the new Stadium, also buried a scorecard from the 2004 ALCS. Does anyone really care? If you are a Yankees fan does this really bother you? Seriously? They should have left Ortiz's jersey down there, he was hitting like he was buried in cement. Perhaps they should just bury the construction worker instead.

In case you didn't see it, and we only saw the headline of the video (just why did NBC give him the weekly spot), Mad Dog Russo, that moronexpert on all sports, said the Yankees are dead. May not happen, but I guess he hasn't learned from the past couple of season. No matter how bad things are, you don't kill off a team in May.

And in case you missed it in yesterday's paper or online, Phil Mushnick gave the Yankees a well deserved tongue lashing for their treatment of fans on Friday night. As we said on Saturday it was a disgraceful act that also occurred on opening day.
