2. Yup...that's the third time in four days!!
It's really screwing up our pitching rotation!! I think "Cy" Bonderman may start tomorrow now.

3. Screwed ours up something fierce
Even with the screwed up rotation, our poor Brad Radke could not get enough run support! (It didn't help that he gave up his first inning gopher balls, which accounted for 3 runs!)

a somewhat famous red sox fan site we regularly refer to the NYY (New York Yankees) as the MFY. I'm sure you can figure it out. It's my favorite because it is concise and really gets the message across well :)

I also call them the Wankees when I'm trying to be nice or something.
