Some nights it's choosing between blogging, watching sports or sleeping. Sports has been winning lately.NBC's John Madden retires. It was time.The Yankees should fire Joe Girardi like the Corleones got rid of Pauley..."Grab the connolis, drop the gun." I've been watching baseball for 30 years. This Yankee bullpen, save for Mariano, is probably the worst version I've seen.
