Morning Links

Maybe it’s just me. But if your manager organizes a day of pool away from the ballpark because your team needs a “break” from the game — and it’s only the third week of February — that’s a bad, bad sign. Of course, if you’ve been working hard in the offseason to stay in top physical form like CC Sabathia here, I can see why you would need to spend time away from the grind of staying in shape. (Well, I guess round is a shape…) Keeping on that Yankees’ theme, this blog has some great captions for Yankees photo day.

This guy is a jerk, and we’re glad he’s finally getting what he deserves. Here are the 10 Worst Contracts in the NHL. (Bonus: No Bruins.) And after watching this video, I’ve decided to call in sick and head to Home Depot:

   Thanks for the link, Chris. Also, TheSportsHernia has some nice Sox photo day captions, to be fair: http://thesportshernia.typepad.com/blog/2009/02/mlb-photo-day-is-actually-500-days-long.html

   Chris: an even better “spoof” on my Sabathia picture: http://itsaboutthemoney.blogspot.com/2009/02/loljocks-and-my-sabathia-picture.html

   But if the Sox had a team-building day, you’d call it a stroke of brilliance for “team chemistry”

   Jason, thanks for the shout out–and I do think the Sox photos are equally goofy. (I love that spoof on the Sabathia picture.) But you have to admit the idea of having a team-building day to get away from the park so early in spring training is bizarre. Sounds strange that they want to get a break midway through February.

   (Instead of a pool tournament, CC probably lobbied for a pie-eating contest. Zing!)
