Can we just get a Simmons sticky or something? His best work usually comes during baseball season so there's plenty more to come.

Also this:

He's pitching against Crisp, who replaces Judas Damon in center AND prompted the Sports Gal to ask two weeks ago, "Wait, Coco Crisp? That's really his name? Who else did they sign, Count Chocula?"

(Coco Crisp is one of those names like Magic Johnson or Dick Pound -- hear it enough times and you forget how ridiculous it is. Actually, that's not true ... Dick Pound ALWAYS sounds ridiculous. Back to the column.)

(Yup, there's comedy, there's high comedy, there's transcendent comedy ... and then there's Jorge Posada trying to stare someone down.)

"More importantly, the top of the sixth just ended with a pitcher named Feldman striking out Youkilis. That's the Jewish baseball moment of the year so far. "

probably my favorite part.

The Yankees have an Aflac trivia question as well: "Which current Yankee player once played on Opening Day with enough artificially injected testosterone running through his body to kill a medium-sized child?" I'm going to say Sheffield ... nah, I'll say Giambi.
