Icarus Speaks

I've always likened Steinbrenner to the mythical character, Icarus. Most of you know the tale and the moral of the story. In recent years, he's been flying closer and closer to the sun, and his evil wings have been melting and dropping chunks of wax down on Yankee Stadium like giant wads of bird poop.

His latest public statement is more evidence that he is truly delusional. The BKP (Baseball Karma Police) have duly noted this arrogant new prediction of his. Trust me. Similar to Elaine Benes, I think the BKP have scribed "difficult" on his file.

On a different note - dirtdog is ridiculous today. It's one of those "case in point" type of posts that demonstrate the shallowness and fair weather friendliness that has become his trademark. I don't ordinarily visit, especially since the huge debacle over the summer. Going today reminded me why.
