Sid Rosenberg goes on Twitter spree ripping colleagues and Florida sports fans
Spurred on by New Yorkers upset that he was rooting for the Brooklyn Nets, Sid Rosenberg was on Twitter yesterday.
Indeed. And then Sid addressed local fans who still don't know why he's in FLA and not NY.
Ok, we sort of knew that. But Rosenberg works with pro's pros at 640, right?
And, finally, a shot at Imus.

Wonder how these phony, front running, half assed, low IQ Heat fans will continue rooting for the Heat when they grew up in Brooklyn? #Phony

Mike Missanelli’s Interview with Lenny Dykstra is Must Hear Radio
Mike Missanelli’s interview with Lenny Dykstra, as Crossing Broad writes, includes talk of "Dykstra's thoughts on taking steroids, walking around like he had a “10-inch you know what,” his hypothetical threatening of umpires, Ben Revere, the 1993 Phillies, baseball and life in general. It’s fantastic. You can’t stop listening."
Indeed. Here's some highlights:
CB has much, much more here.

Make a ringtone out of John Sterling & Suzyn Waldman's profound 'Ohh!' moment
Phil Mushnick writes, "John Sterling, yesterday from St. Petersburg, Fla., called two Yankees home runs, Sterling self-promotional-style, that weren’t homers. “Voice of the New York Yankees” — for the last 24 years."

MLB approves Yankees request for Tanaka to pitch wearing surgical mask
New York's Masahiro Tanaka to pitch wearing surgical mask
New York, NY -- The Office of the Commissioner of Baseball announced today that New York Yankees pitcher Masahiro Tanaka will be allowed to pitch wearing a surgical mask as had been requested by the organization.
The practice of wearing surgical masks is common in Japan, despite strong evidence indicating that they do not work to prevent the spread of disease. The rookie hurler was spotted wearing one at Teterboro Airport earlier this year and, after NY Senator Chuck Schumer petitioned Major League Baseball on his behalf, MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred relented.
"I had another coughing fit today," Manfred said. "And it made me think. If he's more comfortable sporting a mask, especially in Canada, so be it."
Tanaka is scheduled to pitch again April 12th at Toronto.
This story was not subject to the approval of Major League Baseball or its clubs.

Terry Francona went to the mound, told Blake Wood he made the team...
Monday, Cleveland Indians skipper Terry Francona went to the mound, told Blake Wood he made the team. FOX Sports via Deadspin:
"When I went to take him out, (catcher Luke) Carlin was coming and I told him to stay back there a little bit," manager Terry Francona said. "I went out there and asked (Wood) if he ever made the team on the mound? He was like no. I go 'well, you just did.' After that we came and talked to him the dugout but you could tell he was pretty excited."
Sweet. Indians president Mark Shapiro caught the moment in this excellent pic:
Now just imagine how much a surgical mask would have ruined that shot.

A-Rod afraid of submitting to video deposition 'because of Justin Bieber'
Alex Rodriguez' lawyer, Alan Ripka, is afraid of having his client videotaped for his malpractice lawsuit. “[Justin Bieber’s] deposition was disseminated, and he is being called arrogant,” Ripak said. “Here is a perfect case of every iPhone getting a copy of [a] deposition. What more evidence do I need than that?”
Sounds legit.
“Why don’t we agree that counsel for each party will have a copy of the videotape [that] they agreed not to disseminate it for now?” said Bronx Supreme Court Judge Douglas McKeon. “If one chooses to disseminate it in some fashion, they will give notice to the court and to the other side and we will have a conversation about it.”
Both sides are due back in court in early April. Or, until ... this becomes another case Alex chickens out of.

But the lawyer representing Yankees team doctor Christopher Ahmad, who is being sued by A-Rod for allegedly misdiagnosing a hip injury, said he wasn’t sure if he’s ready to agree to keep the tape private. That would be giving Rodriguez preferential treatment, since anyone else’s taped deposition is not held under lock and key, he said.
Both sides are due back in court in early April. Or, until ... this becomes another case Alex chickens out of.

4-year-old girl sneaks under protective chain to get a better view of Derek Jeter
Derek Jeter's retirement announcement hasn't helped the Yankees sell out their season tickets again this year but...here's DJ effecting an entire generation because Yankee announcers never overstate things.
Know what you're thinking. Isn't it unsafe for a little girl to be that close to a batter, foul balls and all? Answer: No, Derek doesn't hit it that far anymore.

Mets pitching coach Dan Warthen called Dice K's interpreter Jeff Cutler a "Chinaman," thought it was funny
Mets pitching coach Dan Warthen called Dice K's interpreter, Jeff Cutler, a "Chinaman." That's a racial slur. And, to make it worse, Dan said it in front of a Wall Street Journal reporter named Stu Woo, who is Chinese. Woo ran to Mets's vice president of public relations, Jay Horwitz. [D Wizzle's World]
The Mets and Warthen have apologized. It was the 2nd reported 'apology' from Dan. It had to be better than the first, given Monday, to Cutler:
“Jeff!”
Cutler and I [Stu Woo] turned around. It was Dan Warthen, the Mets pitching coach.
“I’m sorry I called you a ‘Chinaman’ yesterday,” Warthen told Cutler.
“It’s OK,” Cutler replied.
“I didn’t mean to insinuate –- I know you’re not Chinese,” Warthen said. He paused. “I thought it was a pretty good joke, though.”
“It was,” Cutler said, with a small laugh.
No it wasn't. Here's the 2nd:
“I apologize for the thoughtless remarks that I made yesterday in the clubhouse. They were a poor attempt at humor but were wrong and inappropriate in any setting. I am very sorry,” Warthen said.
“On behalf of the entire organization, I apologize for the insensitive remarks made by of one of our staff members. The remarks were offensive and inappropriate and the organization is very sorry,” added [Mets GM Sandy] Alderson.

Bizarre -- Mickey Mantle's handwritten deathbed speech up for auction
Mickey Mantle's handwritten deathbed speech is up for auction. Which is just bizarre. [The Other Paper]
The speech was televised from the Baylor University Medical Center on July 12, 1995. Mick died 4 weeks later. How the family doesn't possess this is just nuts.

Asked by Craig Carton if Ike Davis Might Take a Swing at him, Post's Mike Puma says, "He might miss!"
Ike Davis, on the record, spoke with NY Post scribe Mike Puma. When Michael reported that Ike 'hid an oblique injury from Mets brass while he was struggling last season' - Davis didn't like it. “You made it look like, you know, it’s an excuse,” Davis said. “That’s not what the story — it shouldn’t have been a story anyway. Because that’s what we talked about before you wrote it, was we shouldn’t write this, because that doesn’t matter. But that was nowhere in the article.”
So now Davis is a writer? Or, perhaps, and editor: “It’s just an overblown thing,” Davis said. “Everyone has injuries and they get hurt, so it was pointless to write an article. I sucked last year because I sucked. It’s not because I had an injury.”
Asked by Craig Carton whether or not Ike was pissed enough that he might take a swing at him, Puma responded, “There’s a joke in there somewhere — if he takes a swing at me, he might miss,” Puma said of Davis. “He’s not happy. He’s not happy with the story.”
Hiyo!
And Esiason was very, very happy with himself following that 'facts' line.

Craig Carton called out Albert Pujols for dropping defamation case because: "You're guilty!"
Albert Pujols dropped his defamation lawsuit against Jack Clark for saying that the former had used PEDs. Craig Carton had predicted such a while back. Why? Because AP would have had to go under oath...and "just like Alex Rodriguez...he could / would not put his hand on a bible and swear to tell the truth."
Bam.

So they BBWAA took LeBatard's MLB HOF vote
The BBWAA took Dan Le Batard's Hall of Fame vote and won't allow him to attend a MLB game as credentialed media for a year as punishment for handing his vote over to Deadspin.
Which makes one wonder how Dan Le Batard had a MLB HOF vote in the first place. BBWAA should immediately turn the vote over to Gawker.
