P-U-D-G-E

In today's blockbuster deal, the New York Yankees traded RHP Kyle Farnsworth to the Detroit Tigers for C Ivan Rodriguez. If you're a Yankee fan, this is probably the best thing you've felt since October 2000. Farnsworth and his mastery of the 2-run homer will head to Detroit in exchange for Pudge Rodriguez. With Posada out, this move makes sense and Pudge, even though he doesn't walk much and is like 37 is still as quality a backstop as there is although (like most catchers) he's prone to a second half fall-off. Maybe getting rid of Farnsworth will open up a spot in the bullpen for my personal favorite Yankee, Chris Britton. Anyway, here are some pictures (courtesy of typing in names on Google Image Search):

(yea I made that nickname up but w/e)

Oh, somewhere along the way, I found this pic of Jorge Posada's wife. You know, for a guy who's generally not considered anywhere close to attractive, he's done alright for himself.

And lastly, in huge Yankees news, my second favorite Yankee, Carl Pavano, made a rehab start yesterday - he gave up a hit in two innings. Hurry back C. Piddy, the Yankees could use your 130mph fastball and your arrogance.
