LINKAGE: What do you call this act? The Nationals!

• The name Brien Taylor makes Yankees fans shudder to this day. [It Is About The Money, Stupid]
• The sports world’s most famous Yankees fan and Nike continues to blueball the NY Metro Area [The Knicks Fix]
• The boozy underbelly of the College World Series. I approve. [The Rookies]
• Add it all up, and Posada sort of sucks as a game caller. He can still mash, though. [Replacement Level Yankees Weblog]
• Well, I know at least ONE blogger who is going to hell. [Style Points]
• And finally, as we head into a series with the lowly Nationals, a look at the latest story involving the Aristocrats joke that is their franchise lately. [Federal Baseball] (Note: I actually like the Nationals. As a person who has lived in (and is moving back to DC,) I root for them when they’re not playing the Yankees. Too bad they suck. And I’m aware they have a decent interleague record versus the Yanks, but they still suck.)

Enjoy this peace offering… the Pinstripe Pain is coming soon.
