Steinbrenner Field Honors 9/11 Victims

The Yankees unveiled a new tribute to the victims of 9/11 prior to yesterday's spring training game with the Pirates. The foundation of the memorial is shaped like the Pentagon, while the Twin Towers rise above it. A piece of steel from the towers sits on the base as well. The surrounding grass represents the victims of Flight 93 that crashed in Pennsylvania.

The memorial was presented by the Gene O'Kane Division of retired NYC firefighters. Member Joe Holland, whose son, and fellow firefighter, Joseph was killed in the towers, threw out the first pitch to Tino Martinez. He was accompanied to the mound by his son Bryan, Derek Jeter and Joe Girardi.

Another Monday morning... and still half asleep at 10 o'clock. Mondays, particularly the morning, are dreadful. So is the news that Osi Umenyiora is out for the season. Are we the only ones sick of a major Giants player getting hurt in the Jets exhibition game? Will this bring Michael Strahan out of retirement (aka Brett Favreland).

A.J. Pierzynski will never have to wonder why his peers don't vote him on to the All-Star team.

Dave Matthews and Sheryl Crow kicked off the Democratic convention.

A newly-minted gold medalist and an everyday skank will be on Dancing with the Stars.

A new addition to the Flight 93 memorial.

Bartering with Sex. This is the new millennium?

Matt Leinart still can't win the starting job.

Pilot Inspektor? WTF are these people thinking?


Meanwhile, here's some Led Zeppelin to wake you up.
