Theater of the Absurd

When did the Yankees become the LA Dodgers? We're not in Hollywood. What are we talking about, you say?

The Yankees have signed Billy Crystal, yeah that guy, to a 1-day contract for this Thursday, March 14. It happens to be Crystal's 60th birthday, so the life long Yankees fan will wear #60 that day and play against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Yes, play in the actual game.

We love Billy Crystal and have always loved his work. But this is ridiculous and makes a mockery of the game. How about those kids trying to break into the majors who never even get to play with the big club in an exhibition game?

And to top it off, Major League Baseball approved this ridiculous act. Guess the best way to deal with a steroid crisis is to laugh things off. Great job there, Bud.
