Weekly Random Thoughts On The Yankees
The Yankees went 3-3 this week, bringing their overall record to 38-28, and are now tied with Boston atop the AL East.What the hell happened Saturday? The Yankees had a 9-2 lead against the Nationals and ended up losing 11-9. It was painful to watch.
The Yankees designated Aaron Small for assignment this week. When will they do the same with Jaret Wright?
As I told Mr. Big Dubya this week, if the Yankees or the Red Sox don't start pulling away from the pack, the Blue Jays are eventually going to overtake them both.
Randy Johnson and Chien-Ming Wang both had strong outings this week. Johnson went six and a third, giving up four hits and one earned run while striking out six in a win against Cleveland. Wang pitched seven and a third innings of shutout ball, giving up five hits.
God Save The Internet
I'm sure by now everyone's heard about the Save The Internet campaign. Telephone and cable companies are lobbying Congress to end network neutrality. This would give said companies the ability to restrict what you can see and do on the Internet. Basically, if Site X pays more money to the telecom companies than Site Y, they can make Site Y load m-u-c-h slower, if at all. It could also lead to a la carte pricing. Imagine having to pay x dollars a month just to visit Blogger sites. Or imagine having to pay a certain amount for every single site you visit. Would you pay to read this site? Neither would I.So, have you signed the petition yet?
Not only is the protest strong, it's got its own protest song. God Save The Internet is by The Broadband (Jill Sobule, Kay Hanley (former Letters To Cleo singer), and Michelle Lewis). You can download it for free here.
