Good win for the Red Sox, nice to see Manny hitting in April.

Hughes and Molina didn't have good chemistry. I think hes better off with Posada behind the plate. Plus from what i saw in the game there were alot of close calls that the Yankees didn't get. The play at first with Giambi (Jesus christ talk about a split second call. I think the tip of the guys cleat was about to touch the bag when the ball hit the glove), the steal at second after that. He did this weird slide where he hovered over the bad for a quick second.

I don't like how the yankees are playing ball right now, the pitching (except for Wang) is terrible and the hitting is on/off....

NEW YORK -- A construction worker's bid to curse the New York Yankees by planting a Boston Red Sox jersey in their new stadium was foiled Sunday when the home team removed the offending shirt from its burial spot.

After locating the shirt in a service corridor behind what will be a restaurant in the new Yankee Stadium, construction workers jackhammered through the concrete Sunday and pulled it out.

The team said it learned that a Sox-rooting construction worker had buried a shirt in the new Bronx stadium, which will open next year across the street from the current ballpark, from a report in the New York Post on Friday.

Yankees President Randy Levine said team officials at first considered leaving the shirt where it was.

"The first thought was, you know, it's never a good thing to be buried in cement when you're in New York," Levine said. "But then we decided, why reward somebody who had really bad motives and was trying to do a really bad thing?"

On Saturday, construction workers who remembered the employee, Gino Castignoli, phoned in tips about the shirt's location.

"We had anonymous people come tell us where it was, and we were able to find it," said Frank Gramarossa, a project executive with Turner Construction, the general contractor on the site.

It took about five hours of drilling Saturday to locate the shirt under 2 feet of concrete, he said.

On Sunday, Levine and Yankees CEO Lonn Trost watched as Gramarossa and foreman Rich Corrado finished the job and pulled the shirt from the rubble.

In shreds from the jackhammers, the shirt still bore the letters "Red Sox" on the front. It was a David Ortiz jersey, No. 34.

Trost said the Yankees had discussed possible criminal charges against Castignoli with the district attorney's office.

"We will take appropriate action since fortunately we do know the name of the individual," he said.

A woman who answered the phone at Castignoli's home in the Bronx on Sunday said he was not there.

A spokesman for Bronx District Attorney Robert Johnson said Sunday he did not know whether any criminal charges might apply.

Levine said the shirt would be cleaned up and sent to the Jimmy Fund, a charity affiliated with Boston's Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Along with that, New York will send a Yankees Universe T-shirt, which is sold to benefit Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.

"Hopefully the Jimmy Fund will auction it off and we'll take the act that was a very, very bad act and turn it into something beautiful," he said.

First off, I can't believe that they actually dug up the spot and removed the jersey. And second, the guy put a curse on Big Papi. And third, the Yankees are cursed for removing that jersey. I love these type of stories. They give you a good laugh.

I also like how Hank Steinbrenner told a newspaper that he hopes "the coworkers kick the shit out of him" and that the guy then told Steinbrenner to do it himself and bring along Posada since that's the Yankee he hates.

I actually like Posada. He is a good player. I am not shocked that Hank said that. That's Hank being Hank.

It's a big story in New York and Boston. It's all over the local news and local papers. But it's not really a big deal in the national news. ESPN has talked about it but not like they have in NY and Boston.
