I'm not going to pay for Manfred-ball, Westie! I have my pride!

"Okay, I don't have a lot of my pride, but I have enough pride that I can't do [that]."

In even better news, MLBN is giving us the Yankees-cast (Michael Kay in all his "glory"!) AND the Yankees, Team Tradition, the Upholders of History…

…are wearing camouflage caps.

Yes, the team who honors Babe and Lou in the Midnight Blue, every game…is wearing some salute to people who kill for a living, apparently. Let's give it up for defending American interests (ie, corporate bottom lines) around the globe! Hail Victory! WE LOVE "Da Troops"! War, war, war, how do you like it, how do you like it?"

None of this John Lennon "give piece a chance" crap…Manly Manfred will honor literal Yankee Imperialism! Oh, joy.

(It's not even a holiday, is it? WTF-etyF-etyF-etyF?????)

ETA: No, my bad. All the teams get to bow the knee to the Pentagon Money Machine this weekend. It was just that the Mets were wearing normal helmets when batting in the top of first, and the Yanks make such a fetish out of uniform consistency that I was disconcerted. Whoops.

(Maybe I just skip this weekend? It's not as if I enjoy interleague play or "measuring" ourselves against NYA. I have other things to do, after all…)
