The new Carl Pavano doesn't seem much different from the old Carl Pavano. He spent ten weeks in the off-season to strengthen his body and vowed that he would be different from the pitcher who has lost all credibility with his team, the fans, and the media by missing almost two seasons due to injury. So much for that. Less than a week into spring training he missed drills yesterday because of "heavy legs." Way to get in shape and tough it out Carl.

Tim Hardaway in an effort to diffuse the furor over his remarks last week about John Amaechi:
"It was like, you know, I had killed somebody. ... I never knew that this was going to escalate that high."
Obviously he didn't; otherwise, he never would have gone on the public airwaves to denounce gays and say that he hated them. Setting aside the hatred and prejudice in those words - there's nothing for me to add to what's already been said - it's pretty naive to think you can slam a minority group and get away with it. How else do you think people would react? It's like saying, "I hate African-Americans" or "I hate Chinese people." People are going to react negatively to such blatant and hateful bigotry. Tim Hardaway should just shut up and crawl away to the same hovel that Jimmy the Greek, Al Campanis, and Mel Gibson had to crawl into after their own bigoted rants. If I never hear the words Tim Hardaway again, I'll be happy.
Picking up on a favorite pastime at Plum Crazy, I bring you Name That Tune. Snippets of song lyrics for your use in identifying the song title. Post subtle clues alluding to the title, nothing that will give it straight away.
Name this pup:
You saw me standing alone/Without a dream in my heart/Without a love of my own
Remember, don't blurt, be subtle, leave a clue.
Anyone out there still wondering why former NBA player John Amaechi never came out while he was still in the league? Turn to Tim "I Hate Gays" Hardaway and your confusion will be cleared up.
For various reasons, I have decided not to post at Plum Crazy anymore and instead post exclusively here on all stuff. Originally, this site was about the Yankees, but now it will be about whatever - politics, news, entertainment, diversions such as polls and quizzes, you name it. The name will stay the same, however, as I like it and am a huge Yankees fan. Next up is a redesign of the site and an attempt to establish a readership since no one outside the immediate family knows this site exists.
