We were really hoping Trump would lose this match, which would have resulted in the long-awaited end to his haircut. Since his hair is something we could never imagine him giving up, it's not impossible that the match was rigged. Either way, he won and got to shave the head of another rich guy, World Wrestling Entertainment owner Vince McMahon.
Trump Keeps Bad Haircut
Doesn't This Bring Back Memories?
Remember the days of Don Zimmer sitting in the Yankee dugout next to Joe Torre? Does anyone else miss those, because we sure do. Just seeing Zim with Torre is refreshing. We can't help but think what they were talking about. "Remember that time when you and Pedro Martinez got into a fight? Or that time where you got beaned in the head by an errant throw and wore an army helmet afterwards?"
The Rivalry Begins Anew
This weekend brings us the first meeting this season of the Yankees and the Red Sox, in a four game series that any baseball fan can enjoy. The two teams have not met since last October when Aaron Boone ended the ALCS with a home run and when there was an incident between Don Zimmer and Pedro Martinez. Boone and Zimmer are gone, and Martinez is not scheduled to pitch, but the rivalry has only heated up since. During the off season, the Red Sox signed Curt Schilling and tried to trade for Alex Rodriguez, who was eventually acquired by the Yankees, making him the new person to hate.
The Return of the Dons
Two bench coaches, Don Zimmer and Don Baylor, made their returns to familiar surroundings yesterday. Zimmer is now with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays and returned to Legends Field for the first time and Baylor returned to Port St. Lucie after cancer treatments over the winter.

Derek Jeter is so sad over losing to the Marlins, Gothamist started to think about some movies various members of the Yankees organization should watch in the off season.
Zimmer Wants to Leave
With the World Series over, baseball teams shuffle their operations, starting with management and coaches. The Red Sox decided to let Grady Little go and now it looks like Don Zimmer, bull to Pedro Martinez's matador, may be leaving the Yankees organization. Why? He really hates George Steinbrenner. Zimmer told reporters, "When I say I won't be back, I won't be back. They could have a day for me. The answer would be no, and only because of [Steinbrenner]." Gothamist would be sad if Zim left the Yankees, because who else would look as styling at he in the Cliff Huxtable style sweater while sucking on a cigar?
People Love Boomerang
The Daily News has succeeded in raising $8,700 for lion cub Boomerang, who was dumped by a Post reporter working on a story about online animal trafficking and could not care for the animal. As it costs $10,000 to build a lion a habitat and as the Daily News has been relentless in letting people know how stupid/heartless/animal-ignorant the Post is, many people have contributed to Boomerang's fund. One donor was Harold Eric Theurer of Brooklyn "who gave the cute cat $20 he just got as a gift for his 8th birthday." He added a P.S. of "Give Boomerang a hug for me." Aww, but Gothamist still thinks the Daily News should donate money to the cause, lest force little children donate their hard earned birthday money while the paper gets to fan with Post rivalry.
Cubs Rue Fans
Chicago Cubs, you squander your 3 run lead in the eighth inning and let the Marlins score 8. And an assumed Cubs fan may have interfered with a play! This, of course, reminds New Yorkers of little 12 year-old Jeff Maier (ranked number 4 on The Sporting News' list of the top 25 Unusual and Unforgettable Baseball moments) who turned a possible fly ball into a home run for Derek Jeter, helping the Yankees win Game 1 of the 1996 ALCS. However, the Chicago last night correctly ruled no fan interference, but that doesn't mean Moises Alou ain't pissed. If it all hangs on that moment, then maybe next year? And while watching the local Chicago Fox station's post-game coverage, the sports reporter claimed that the kid who caught the ball was escorted out of the park by security with his sweater over his head. NBC 5 reported that a firefight sitting next to Chicago public enemy number one said the ball looked to be coming at the fan and if in fact the fan had interfered, the firefight would have shoved him out of the way. Brilliant.

Baseball Brawl Continues and Sockgate
With rain postponing yesterday's Game 4 of the Yankees-Red Sox ALCS, the Yankees and Red Sox mull the nutty antics from Saturday, as fines were levied against Yankees Karim Garcia and Don Zimmer and Red Sox Manny Ramirez and Pedro Martinez. Both front offices of the teams did their share of fingerpointing. Even Mayor Bloomberg got into the act, saying Martinez should have been arrested for pushing Zimmer: "."
Zimmer vs. Martinez
If it's October, it's time for 72 year-old men with metal plates in their heads to charge star pitchers who don't always deliver in the big playoff games. Gothamist just loves that Zimmer got a little band-aid on his nose and had to be carried out in a stretcher, but, after the Yankees won, leading the series 2-1, Zim kept focused and said, "I feel good enough to have a hot dinner."
