Subway Series Part II
It's part two of this season's Subway Series, and it's a true Subway Series, with both stadiums in use. First up, it's the Yankees and Dan Giese against the Mets and Mike Pelfrey at Yankee Stadium. The next one will feature Sidney Ponson (are you excited yet?) against Pedro Martinez at Shea Stadium.
It will be interesting to see what happens with Ponson. He was pitching well for Texas, yet the Rangers released him for off-field altercations. According to sources, he had been pretty decent off-field early in the year, if not a model citizen. But he was signed with the knowledge that he was on a short leash. Sources say there was an incident at the hotel bar in St. Petersburg, Fla., in which he got intoxicated and was cut off by the bartender, but got angry and the manager had to be called. Eventually teammates had to escort him back to his room, according to sources. He didn't take the Rangers' reaction well and wound up being released. The Yankees plan to give him a fresh start, and we will see how that goes.
Here are links to a couple stories from today's paper:

Kat: Is there a website or anything where the print of Angel Wings can be purchased? I've always loved the story of Roberto Clemente since I was a kid and read a picture book about him. I know the picture that's referring to and would love to add it to my collection. Any information you could provide on how to obtain one would be appreciated. I'll send an email as well.
Thanks.
I'm very, very eager to see what Sidney can do.
Heck, I'm excited to see what size uniform he needs.
