What was on Peavy's hands?

CHEATER, CHEATER!!!!!

CM,
365 days a year to be a CUBS fan? What happens on Feb 29?

-------

I haven't checked the standings yet......With batting averages hovering at .600, it just don't make sense!

[RICHARD]

Hey, what was with the airshow over Fenway on opening day?

THAT was cool, too bad the pilot got grounded.

"Maverick, The pattern is full!"

----------

Great story about the Yanks new stadium. Apparently a construction worker
buried a Bosox shirt under a concrete pillar near the home dressing room, along with a curse.

Apparently the pilot was late, so flew too fast. That maneuver is supposed to be done at 5000 feet, not 1200.

As for that shirt - why didn't they bury it under the Yankees club house instead of the visitors?

[RICHARD]

I wasn't clear-

The word is that the construction worker is a Bosox fan and the curse is on the Yankees never to win another series again.

1200 feet?

I wish I could have been there.

So much for the curse . . . . .

The New York Yankees have ended a construction worker's attempt to jinx their new stadium with a buried Boston Red Sox jersey.

Team officials watched Sunday as construction workers removed the jersey, with slugger David Ortiz's name on it, from 2 feet of concrete in a service corridor of the stadium that's under construction.

The team says a construction worker — who is a Red Sox fan — recently buried the jersey there while on the job. Two other supervisors found the tattered shirt Saturday.

The Yankees plan to donate the jersey to charity, and may pursue a lawsuit against the construction worker.

That just goes to show the name STEINBRENNER isn't attached to any normal human.


What was the cost of removing a piece of cloth from under 2 feet of concrete?

----------------

They could find David Ortiz under the new Yankee Stadium....

Now go find Jimmy Hoffa!

-----------

That was a fun story wrecked by a superstitious jerk with no sense of humor.

[RICHARD]

50K to dig out the jersey -

That's what they get for using union people.

THey could have gone to the Home Depot and picked up some day laborers that would have charged the Yanks 10 bucks an hour.....

With a few hot dogs and sodas tossed in.

----------------------

NO penalties for steriod usage...but we are going to see about suing this guy for burying a fricking shirt on the property?

50,000 dollars for tearing a hole in your new stadium.
Having paraniod thoughts about curses, black magic and jinxes?
Priceless.

---------------------

Someone made the comment about the Ortiz jersey not even being needed.
The club hasn't won a World Series in how long?

The Yankees would have been better served to leave the shirt where it was planted. Ortiz had 2 hits last night; previously he had only 3 in 40+ times at bat.
