If you'd rather think about happier times for the Bucs, check out my new book, Kiss It Good-bye. It's a loving look at the 1960 Pirates and what Pittsburgh was like in those days. It's available in bookstores and on amazon.com now. Thanks. That game sort of ended the way we expected, didn’t it?

Gold Glove first baseman Mark Teixeira said that the Yankees should feel like the favorites to win the World Series again and that getting fired up to defend the title will not be an issue for the team.

Why not?

“Because we’re the Yankees,” Teixeira said. “If you get complacent, it’s going to be a tough year for you. Once you taste a championship and taste that victory, it just makes you want it even more. You realize it’s everything you’ve ever hoped for.”

"Asked why complacency won't be an issue here the way it can be for many defending champions, Teixeira was blunt. 'Because we're the Yankees,' he said." http://www.newsday.com/sports/baseball/yankees/teixeira-sets-bar-high-expects-yankees-to-repeat-1.1777035 Normally, this is where you accuse someone of taking things "out of context," but this one is so far out there I'm not sure where you even got the quote from. That’s not what he said.
