Schadenfreude
Take a look, kids:
Baltimore 18-9 .667 -
Boston 16-12 .571 2.5
Toronto 16-13 .552 3
Tampa Bay 11-18 .379
NY Yankees 11-18 .379
At least something's going right for George Steinbrenner: His horse, Bellamy Road, is a favorite to win the Kentucky Derby. I thought long and hard about what direction to take my joke (of course, my first instinct when looking for a horse joke is to swing it to Laura Bush, but she's stopped returning my calls). Juxtaposing the Yankees' failures with Bellamy Road's potential, I came up with the two candidates:
Joke A: Steinbrenner is really befuddled. Last night, he reaffirmed his belief that Joe Torre is the best jockey in the world, and mistakenly ordered Bernie Williams sent to the glue factory.
Joke B: Tough times at the Yankee practice today. A ground ball took a bad bounce and Jason Giambi sprained his ankle trying to field it. Giambi had to be destroyed.
For context, I should mention that I had a really vivid dream last night (odd, 'cuz I rarely remember dreams) that I was a talk-show host. And if I may say so myself, I think I'm already ahead of Leno.

You may want to keep your comment about Giambi being destroyed away from Steinbrenner. He might give it more consideration than you think!

It's funny...when I go to my Comments screen to approve the new ones, it shows a snippet of the comment to approve/delete. So all I saw at first was "You may want to keep your..."
I was so sure the next two words were going to be "day job".

Hehe, that's funny. Mike, you've always been funnier than Leno. Well, at this rate, a piece of wood is funnier than Leno. Rest assured, you are also funnier than a piece of wood.
Hehe...wood.
