Rule Number 1.

Punch em in the mouth.

If you ever needed something to pump you up prior to an important Red Sox-Yankees series out in Fenway Park, you only have to watch this press conference of Mike Singletary, the head coach of the San Francisco 49ers. Start at 0:53 and end at 3:37.

If that didn't get you revved up, your heart is made of stone, really. I mean, I don't know what to tell you, except how do you walk with such a cold, heavy heart? Does it weigh you down?

So, today was supposed to be Chripstophriday, our first one, in which my friend Chris gives us a Yankee prospect that he has his eye on and could have major league success. Unfortunately, I forgot to ask Chris about a prospect last night. So tomorrow, a Saturday, will oddly be our first Christophriday. You'll love him, trust me, He knows everything about prospects. Everything.

The Song of the Day is a really good one, Anberlin's Paperthin Hymn.

Stay positive, Yankee fans.
