Who'll Stop The Rain?

So here's to what the future brings
I hope tomorrow you'll find better things
- I think it's the Kinks.


The rainout of the Sox-Yankees game tonight gives me some time to update some BAP scores. As for all of that crap that happened yesterday, here's what I saw:

One Yankee coach attack a Red Sox player.
Two Yankee players attack a Red Sox employee.
All of the headhunting, hard-sliding, and finger-pointing? There's no crying in baseball, man.
I abhor the phrase, but if there was ever a day for it, this is it. Yankees suck.
