Now all they have to do is whip their asses two games in front of the Texas hometown fans and they will send the Rangers home to mommy.

.............and they are very capable of doing just that. Great game but a moment in the game brought me to tears. It's when the "Voice of Yankee Stadium", the late Bob Sheppard, as always announced Yankee Captain Derek Jeter coming up to bat. I know Jeter had asked Bob to record it in 2008 and intends to use it every time he comes up to bat at home to the end of his career, but I didn't realize Bob would have been 100 years old "today" if he didn't pass away this last July two days before Yanks owner George Steinbrenner. What a very touching moment and wonderful tribute to a great announcer and what a great Captain the Yanks have in Derek Jeter. Now I know why the Yankees will always have my heart. Win or lose, they are the best. GO NEW YORK YANKS! ;D

Steinbrenner pissed me off when he made My Man, Johnny Damon, cut his hair & shave his beard. He was never the same again...

Heck Stoney, before he cut his hair and shaved, he looked like he crawled from the Bowery to the Bronx to play. Hell, they pay good money for colorful and fashionable uniforms and pay these guys an unbelievable salary. You would think that the least they could do is shave and cut their hair. Half of them look like they crawled out from under a bridge somewhere and left their shopping cart full of old clothes and empty soda bottles in the locker room.

Haha. I remember well the grass stained baseball uniforms and muddy football practice jerseys, smelly sweatshirts, muddy spikes and really stinky sweat socks in a size 16 from my oldest son. ROFL! God, his spikes were so damn big I had to go all the way to Rochester one year to buy them, and then I needed snow mobile trailer to haul his shoes, hahaha.

The porch was where those duffles "lived", but they did have to come in for the clothes to be washed. We had a cinderblock by the steps for beating the mud off of spikes after it dried.

And what does that have to do with how they play???

Stoney, I really hate to agree with Clipper ( ) but today professional sports is the same as holding a regular job with rules and regulations from their boss. If he said, "cut your hair or else" then one is going to cut his hair. Especially if that boss was George Steinbrenner owner of the Yankees. Just to make you feel better, in most sports if the team makes the playoffs, they are allowed to grow a beard or whatever. ;D

Exactly BZ. If a person works out in the public eye, especially where they are going to be on TV, they should at least look well groomed and clean. Hell some of the baseball players look like a woman with a progesterone overload.
In fact, I wore a full beard for years, but it was always trimmed fairly short and well groomed. I honestly don't know how these young guys today can stand that grubby look that they all find fashionable now. That five oclock shadow stage has to itch like hell, and it must give a woman a serious whisker burn. I see guys in business suits that look like they have been lost in the woods for a couple of days, and just put on a suit and went to work. I guess what I would feel grubby with, is what young guys feel masculine with now. I call it the hobo look, haha.

RJ "tries" to get away with that and likes the look. We'll be getting ready to go out and at the door I'll ask him if he forgot to do something which usually makes him turn around go back in to shave. ;D Personally, I think that five o'clock shadow makes men look dirty and makes me believe they're just too lazy to shave.
