Yankee fans spoke up and LaTroy Hawkins listened. After getting booed on opening-day and pitching to chants of "Paul-O-Neill" Hawkins abandoned his No. 21 and will don No. 22 for the remainder of the season.
Hawkins dressed last night in Paul O'Neill's number but afterwards Yankees' director of media relations Jason Zillo confirmed that Hawkins would be switching back to the number he wore during spring training.

Bomber Bats Blast BoSox in the Bronx
Chien-Ming Wang didn't have it, but the offense exploded for four runs in the fourth, fifth and eighth innings as the Yanks out-muscled the Red Sox 15-9 in a wacky game at The Stadium. The Yankees blew a 7-2 for the second time in the past three games, but the bats are starting to sizzle. How hot were the bats? Jason Giambi actually got a hit to left field. Every Bomber regular...
Pettitte, Matsui Help Yanks Sink Rays
Andy Pettitte pitched seven dogged innings, Hideki Matusi launched a homer and drove in two and Derek Jeter showed that he can play in back-to-back games by collecting three hits as the Yanks downed the Rays 5-3 to sweep the mini two game set. Tampa Bay out-hit the Yanks 10 to 8, but the Bombers worked out nine walks as they moved back up over .500 at 8-7.
Yankees = Pompass Premadonnas

Washed-up Schilling says he won't pitch for the Yankees next year, but Sox fans hope he will
Red Sox starter Curt Schilling, who's currently on the 60-day disabled and unsigned beyond this season, said once again that he won't pitch for the Yankees next season, even though many Boston fans would love to see the washed up 38Pitches playing the role of Sox mole next season in the Bronx, when the Yankees open their new stadium.
Yankees-Red Sox Goes From Dumb To Dumber
Yankees and Red Sox fans deserve each other. It wasn't enough that the Yankees made a huge stink over the buried jersey in the new Yankee Stadium. Think about pressing charges? Why would the Boston fan run his mouth before the place was finished?
