I would approve of this fine snark at Legal Insurrection, but then I’d have to think the New York Yankees and their Evil Empire are the GOP of baseball, and I can’t do that. As long as we’re plumbing the baseball-sports nexus, hope to change ”There’s always next year” to “There’s also next year.”

Yankee minions on their knees in five-hour effort to unearth a Sox jersey planted under two feet of concrete, while Yanks rookie chokes at Fenway. A loyal Red Sox Nation partisan, deep behind enemy lines, had attempted to curse the Evil Empire’s new Death Star. Did it fail? We’ll the NY Post tell the tale:
