The new Yankees theme song? One thing for sure, Monday night, it couldn’t buy them runs.

Cliff Lee has now beaten the New York Yankees three times in a row in the post season, twice last year with the Phillies and tonight with the Rangers. But the Yankees, unfazed as always, have a plan – sign Lee to a mega multi-year free agent contract for 2011.

Many New York viewers tonight were asking themselves one question – “When did the Mets bullpen put on pinstripes?”

An actual serious comment for a change:  Regarding all the increasingly violent collisions and resulting injuries in the NFL, one commentator said yesterday he didn’t know how to stop it,  because the 15 yard penalties aren’t working.

Jackass 3D” was the big winner at the box office last weekend. As opposed to “Jackass 2D”, which was Brett Favre’s texting pictures of his  junk.

Apparently Brett Favre may lose some endorsements over his potential “sexting” scandal. On the brighter side, he could pick some up for junk food.  (And yes, I know, probably In and Out burger.)

The Vatican’s official newspaper has declared Homer Simpson is Catholic. Well, I guess as a father he’s less embarrassing than many of their priests.-
