Well, Keith, you know tonight it's all about you. Whoa, nelly!

Wow. He imagines you masturbating to Al Franken. That's kind of flattering, I guess...

Hey, guys, look! I just received a piece of hate mail that is completely worth sharing--particularly since the writer apparently went from this column to my other stuff looking for ways to flame me, and then did so in a private e-mail rather than making his eloquence public. So without further ado...

Hi Jonny,

No offense but you really are a waste of life, even worse than the worst
of the songs from the 80's.
No, seriously, there's nothing original about you or your "thoughts."
I imagine you masturbate to Al Franken and I'm hoping that when the
Yankees win the World Series this year, you do your Mom a favor and kill
yourself.
Again, no offense but Fuck Off if it's not too much trouble.

Bite Me,
Keith Jackson
Your Superior in every way

Ah but it's worth it when you get lovely autumn days like we've had this week.

I thought you could use some. It gets mighty cold over there.

You don't think the Phillies are going to beat the Yanks in seven, do you?

Is that more hot air from California that I detect?

The Yankees are one of the main reasons I quit following baseball. MLB corruption rivals FIFA.

My post-seasons are always peaceful, being a Mets fan and all...

What about a luxury-tax type system like the NBA uses? Seems like a good way to balance the Yankees desire (and ability) to spend exorbitant amounts of money on players while channeling some back towards the weaker teams in the league.
