It looks like J. P. Riccardi, the boy wonder who wasn't wonderful, is on his way out of the Big Smoke.
Steve Simmon's Last Word piece in the Sun papers today leads with "The sure to be fired J. P. Ricciardi is adamant the Blue Jays can't ever compete in the American League East because of the high spending New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox."
Great attitude, eh?
Don't let the door hit you too hard on your way out.

605...Apparently Taking Bribes Is Illegal
In Hoboken, New Jersey.
I am just minding my own business this morning, checking the New York Yankees' score in the Newark Star-Ledger when I come across a story that I thought you would find interesting.
It seems that Hoboken has a new mayor and their new mayor, Peter Cammarano, is about to become their old mayor. The 32 year old Democrat was stung by the FBI and is poised to become the second New Jersey mayor to resign this week. His Worship, Dennis Elwell of Seacacus was the first to fall on his sword, doing so Tuesday. Mr. Cammarano, who was Governor Jon Corzine's fair haired boy, took tens of thousands of dollars in bribes from an FBI agent poising as a real estate developer in the sting that so far has resulted in 44 arrests state wide and the death of one of the indicted, Jack Shaw of Jersey City.
By the way, the Yankees lost last night, 3-2 to the Chisox.

263......Hotties In The News, III = Sarah Palin
Not only can Alaska Governor Sarah Palin see Russia from her house but she also can breathe fire.
And her breath is directed at CBS' late night talk show host David Letterman.
The Governor is piss'd that Mr. Letterman made "sexually perverted comments" about one of her teenage daughters Monday night when he remarked that when Governor Palin and family were at a New York Yankee's game "during the seventh inning, her daughter was knocked up by Alex Rodriquez."
Today's New York Daily News goes on to report that in a prepared statement the former Vice Presidential candidate said that "Laughter incited by sexually perverted comments made by a 62-year-old male celebrity aimed at a 14-year-old girl [her 14 year old daughter, Willow, was the only Palin offspring at the game with her mom] is ... disgusting,". Mr. Letterman covered by saying the joke was about her 18 year old daughter, Bristol.
That is so much better.
A 62 year old former comedian making a joke about a 14 year girl having sex with a 33 year old athlete is disgusting but a 62 year old former comedian making a joke about a 18 year girl having sex with a 33 year old athlete is okay.
Or not.

11...February 11, 2009
OMG, my heart nearly stopped the other day when the world started spinning backwards.
Number 13, A-Rod, Alex Rodriquez, infielder for the New York Yankees, the finest baseball player of his generation, has admitted to using steriods.
They news flashed this on, well, all the stations and web sites that have news flashes.
What next?
Strippers with breast implants?
Really, where is the news story there?
[Not in the stripper thing; that is a story I am personally in the midst of researching, important work.]
Let us be realistic, if they, whomever they are, started real testing for steroids in college and professional sports the dymamic of the game would change.
And that ain't good for TV and TV is the tail that is totally wagging the dog.
By the way, I like the dog.
