Inside Man: A Bronx Tale: Bronx Banter's Alex Belth profiles Ray Negron. His life in baseball began in 1973, when Steinbrenner himself caught the teenager spray painting an "NY" logo on the outside of the Stadium and gave him a job as a bat boy. "Negron has done everything from shine the players' shoes and collect their dirty jockstraps, to bring them food from their favorite restaurants and park their cars. He has been an agent, an actor, an advisor, and a liaison; a confidant, a sounding board and a whipping boy to some of the biggest egos in the game. He is whatever he needs to be." [parts two, three, & four]

It's amazing enough that they made it to the semifinal, let alone beat Spain. For a while there it looked like a power play in hockey, with US defenders blocking shot after shot.
I'll be at Nevada Smiths in NYC for the final if any local Spofites care to join me.

Remember Folkways, scotch and crossbows don't mix!
Sure they do. It's called "aiming fluid".

Do a search for "crossbow purchase" on archerytalk.com.
You can also try crossbownation.com for info.

Are you sure? I haven't been to Fenway in decades, but they're sold all over Boston. Honestly, I doubt there's a ban at Yankee Stadium because no one cares about that crap here.
About Yankee Stadium? Yeah, I am sure. Since the late 90s I've seen people turned away at the gates for wearing Boston Sucks shirts. They either had to put another shirt on over it or turn it inside out. However, if you manage to get past security with it you probably won't have a problem inside.
As for Fenway, like I said, I thought they had a similar policy. I seem to remember a similar thread floating around a year or 2 ago.

I don't think this is anything new. Yankee Stadium has had a ban on "Boston Sucks" shirts for years. I believe Fenway has a similar policy.

The point is, it wasn't steroids that he was suspended for.
That's not much of a point. What they found in his system was a synthetic steroid. They discovered the item on the banned list (hCG) after he was found to have elevated testosterone levels. So, yeah, technically he's banned because of the hCG evidence, but they would have never found out about it unless he first tested positive for a synthetic steroid. And they probably could have nailed him just on the testing alone. The hCG just solidified their case.

So apparently he tested positive for a synthetic steroid and they found the hCG prescription after going through medical records.

Notice there's no mention of an appeal by Manny or the players union.
Manny waived his right to challenge the suspension.

I don't think they should've lost the game because of it, but the coach should've known the rules. My coach in college made sure we knew about it. And I'm pretty sure I was taught this in high school too.

I'm sure glad that I didn't spend the $50 (or whatever it was) to watch this fight
I'm glad I spent the $20 cover at Nevada Smiths (NYC soccer bar that is a hub for ManU supporters). Not only was it more entertaining that the NY Red Bulls debacle that was taking place, but the look on the Brits faces after the knockout was priceless.

I know someone who played for one of those teams (I forget which side of the river he grew up on). He might be a little too young for this game though.

What were the flipped birds in response to? ESPN showed the crowd right after the final whistle, and an American fan there was prominently flying the bird too.
The guy in the video was flipping off the ref. The fan flipping the bird on ESPN could have directed towards a number of people. The ref, the Mexican team, Mexico fans. It's a pretty heated rivalry. I saw one US fan get knocked the fuck out after the game outside the stadium. I think he was egging on the Mexican fan, but that's no excuse to punch on the guy. Luckily there was a cop nearby who managed to nab the puncher.

Landon Donovan in New Book: David Beckham's a Bad Teammate
He was crap running the Earthquakes IMO.
He was crap in New York too.
