Anybody know a free way to get yankees radio broadcasts on either a computer or an iphone?  I know mlb.tv has this stuff on lock down, but there has to be somebody out there that has figured out a way to do this.  I could just buy a new radio, but that seems kinda foolish.  I am going to be away and without internet access all summer, so I don't want to buy the radio package.  I feel like the guy in that beer commercial-- if we can clone a sheep, we should be able to listen to the yanks online for free, right?

Since we can all agree that Nick Johnson is not deserving of a trip to Anaheim this summer, and nobody on this site would ever vote for that hgh-using has-been in boston, we all need a DH to give support to this year.  Why not Griffey Jr.?  It would have to be the first time a retire player was ever voted in (or probably even on the ballet).  I think this would be a really great way to honor an incredible career that really could have been one of the all-time greats if it hadn't been for some unfortunate injuries.

If this doesn't work, maybe we can get him into the HR derby?  Let me know what you all think.

I figured this had to be the best place to ask.  Anybody know a good place to find IC Light in the New York- Connecticut area?  I'm dying for some out here.  It brings me back to my time at Pitt.  If anyone were to know where to find it, it would have to be a bunch of Steelers fans, right?  Don't hold it against me that I'm a Pats fan.  I think beer can bring us together.

Brett Favre's Last Pass as a Packer: INT

Brett Favre's Last Pass as a Jet: INT

Brett Favre's Last Pass as a Viking (if he finally retires for good): INT

Almost too perfect.

I can't wait til next season when the Pats get it back on track and show the league whats what!  Brady and Welker are gonna get healthy, the D is gonna be more experienced, Coach B will be ready...GO PATS!

Long time reader but first time poster here.  I wanted to get away from all the offseason talk, since there is no news until something happens and we really won't know how effective these moves are until we start playing.

I have an idea for a minor adjustment to our offensive game plan that could really improve our team-  now and in the future.  Last season, one of our most effective go-to plays was the Rondo to KG alley-oop (before KG got hurt, of course).  With a great passer and a great finisher, this play is really a no-brainer, and was pretty much indefensible.  I expect to see this play a lot more this season, but I'm writing here to suggest a minor twist. Instead of Rondo throwing it up for KG, why not make Perkins the "ooper"?   This may not seem like a big deal, but it is for many reasons:

First, it's common sense: throwing an alley oop for our 20-something bigman seems a lot more logical than throwing up an alley oop for our 30-something big man.

Second, KG needs to protect his knees, and if I remember correctly, the play he was hurt on last year was an alley oop.  You could be worried about Perkins' shoulder, but i'm pretty sure he usually hurts that on the defensive end (let me know if i'm wrong).

Third, Perkins is stronger than KG, and an slam by him would probably make a bigger impression on the crowd and opponent at this point in their careers.  Not that either really need help in the intimidation department, but imagine a huge slam by Perkins really making the Garden go nuts.

Fourth, and most importantly, a few extra slams by Perkins a game could really give him so extra confidence on the offensive end, making him more aggressive in that part of his game.  This could be very important for us in the future, since he will probably need to become more than just a defensive force when him and Rondo go from becoming "our future" to "our present."

With Shaq (and possibly Yao) nearing the end of the road, there is no reason why Perkins shouldn't be one of the top centers in the league.  While he clearly is already elite on the defensive end, he needs to improve his offensive game to truly become a complete player.  A big part of this, along with practicing free-throws, needs to involve building up his confidence on that end of the floor, and I think having KG defer a few alley-oops his way could definitely have that effect.

To sum up: keep KG healthy, make KP (and Celtics) better.  What do you think?
