The Yankees infield Saturday was Kelly Johnson at first, Brian Roberts at second, Dean Anna at short and Yangervis Solarte at third. Their combined number of games in New York pinstripes: 38.

The Angels hit back to back to back home runs off their nemesis Bartolo Colon Sunday. Mike Trout, Albert Pujols and Raul Ibanez did it in the first.

How much did you like playing an infield position (first base) for the first time in your 16-year career, Carlos Beltran? "I hope I don't have to do it again. Thank God nobody hit the baseball to me."

Fans in San Francisco got their money's worth yesterday: play 1, play 2.

Obligatory movie quote pertinent to the story.

Have the sidebar ads tripled in size for anyone else?

I switched ad sizes and am looking around for formatting issues.

When I add a mobile version they'll get smaller there.

I don't see any sidebar ads because of my AdBlock, but I seeing the B I & link below this box stacked vertically. This has been true since last week. Also, it seems that the SpoFi twitter feed is sending double tweets whenever there is a new post here at SpoFi.

There, I have nailed these complaints to the large doors of rcade's cathedral.

Most of the sidebar ads I see still feature voluptuous women, but are now all fantasy realm build-your-own-kingdom sort of stuff.

Not sure what happened to the Filipino single women seeking to cross the International Date Line.

I only see half the ads - the right margin for me is set to somewhere right in the middle, or more likely, the ads expanded to the right over the old margin. The part of the ads that I can see appears to be the same size as it used to be. (Chrome)

Link title disappears when previewing a post. HTML entities get converted when previewing comments or posts. Line breaks aren't consistent between preview and post.

We'll get to 95 if we try hard enough.
