- Lady Gaga paid a visit to the Yankees clubhouse on Friday night after the Janks lost 4-0 to the Mets. Team officials weren’t too happy about it, saying that she should not have been there after a loss. Still no word on how coked up she was though.
- Ladies and gentlemen, armageddon is upon us: the vuvuzela has hit American soil. The Florida Marlins became the scourge of humanity when they handed out 15,000 of the plastic horns from hell at a game against Tampa Bay on Saturday.
