That Would Make You The Dope, Frank
“The question is, do we deserve a chance?” Steve Soboroff, the new man on owner Frank McCourt’s staff, said. “We’re getting the death penalty for, maybe there were some traffic tickets.”Mr. Bryan Stow would disagree, were he conscious to do so. So:
“If they’re doing an investigation, where are the people?” Soboroff demanded. “Unless they’ve already figured out the answer and this whole thing is a rope-a-dope.”Bingo.

Is Yankee Stadium Dead Yet?
The wrecking ball can't come fast enough. The rest of us have a postseason to look forward to that, mercifully, doesn't contain the most overfed and annoying team in baseball. Even if it's only for one season, that is an event I've been anticipating for years.
Update: Let's Go Tribe has a wonderfully apropros piece on this gratuitous event, including a review of this delightful outcome.
Also: ex-Angel Jose Molina was the last man to hit a home run at Yankee Stadium in yesterday's 7-3 win over Baltimore. Hat tip to the Rev.

Juan Thing You Should Know, Pierre, Is When To Shut Up
Pierre earlier expressed disappointment at not being told that the free-agent acquisition of Andruw Jones not only meant he would be moving to left field after playing center field most of his Major League career, but also that he was in a competition with Matt Kemp and Andre Ethier for the final two outfield starting spots.Pierre signed a five-year free-agent contract before the 2006 Winter Meetings to play center field and has the longest current consecutive games played streak in the Major Leagues at 434.
"I don't expect him to be happy about it," said Torre. "He just wants to know my thinking. I told him when I know, I would let him know before somebody else does."
Entering Friday's game with the Diamondbacks, Pierre was batting .200, Kemp .304 with three homers and Ethier .352 with five homers. Kemp started in right field and Ethier was on the bench.
