- Aww poor James Dolan, he doesn't like it when people pick on him and make a little website asking him to sell the team. Cafe Press got a nice letter from Dolan's lawyers saying that the Selltheknicks.com store was infringing on his intellectual property, specifically his likeness and his name. Can Knick fans send a letter to Dolan's lawyers claiming infringement on their loyalties and better senses? Selltheknicks.com says they are fighting the move.
- In a case of small news becoming slightly larger news, Lastings Milledge has been the subject of some criticism after his celebration on Sunday. In Sunday's extra-innings Mets loss to the Giants, Milledge hit his first career home run and tied the game in the 10th inning. Before the 11th inning started, Milledge high-fived the fans as he ran out to right field. If you ask us, it probably wasn't the best thing to do, but it's the media making mountains out of molehills. The kid was just excited, that's all. Milledge has since said he doesn't regret the actions and the Giants don't really care either (probably because they went on to win the game).
- And in the MLB First First-Year Player Draft, the Yankees selected Ian Kennedy, a right handed pitcher from USC, in the first round. The Mets, without a first round pick because of the Billy Wagner signing, selected Kevin Mulvey, a right handed pitcher from Villanova.

I liked what Milledge did, but some opposing players (and umpires) are sensitive about being "shown up", ie. ridiculed. (if I'm making millions, I could care less). So, Randolph properly instructed him to watch his step.

Milledge was just happy, I have no problem with that. It is nice to see people playing for the joy of in and not because they are pumped up on steroids.
And here is a solution to the Knicks problem and the Bruce Ratner problem:
1. Have Ratner sell Nets to New Jersey intrestes and they can play in the Devils Arena in Newark.
2. Have Dolan sell Knicks to Ratner .
3. Have Ratner build the Ghery POS building in Manhattan somewhere.
Why is it that people from Cleveland who buy New York area teams have to be such assholes (cough Steinbrenner cough)?
Thanks for putting the story up today - ny'ers should be pissed that this little fairy prima donna trust fund prick is screwing with our town.
The Milledge thing is a tempest in a teapot, but it's also same old Mets. Do they teach this stuff in their farm system... as soon as we go five games over .500, act like we've won five pennants in a row?
