Salve for the Wounds
Joe Mulder alerts us to his site, The Athletic Reporter, an Onion-like look at the world of sports. With stories like "Dale Earnhardt Jr. to Star in Ghost Dad 2" it's destined to be a regular read.
This week he eased the pain of Twins fans everywhere, with this satiric prescription: Bush Adds Yankees to Axis of Evil
Joe also proves to be an insightful observer of the sporting scene. His preview of the Twins-Yankees series was right on the money, including this made up quote by Yankees manager Joe Torre .
I don't mind too much," said Yankees manager Joe Torre of the Minnesota Twins' plan to compete against the Yankees in the American League Division Series as scheduled. "It's sort of cute, how some of the Twins even think they have a chance to beat us. Why not let them have a chance to pretend they're a real live playoff team, just like us or the Red Sox? Where's the harm in that?"
As with all great humor, it's funny because it's true.
