Reason for optimism, but Yanks need baserunners

... Stadium will echo the one the Yankees delivered in 1973, when the old Stadium closed with a quiet loss to the Tigers closing out an 80-82 season. Or maybe there are still grand things ahead.

What should we talk about? The Joba fist pump? Hmm... no, I think I'll take a pass on that one. Let's talk about David Wells. Mike Puma at the Post spoke with David Wells and Hank Steinbrenner about a potential return to the Yankees. Yes, you read that right. That's Yankeeland! Hank tells Puma that he saw Wells on TV and he was thinking about it at that point. He notes that Wells hasn't come up in any conversations but, "you never know." He also said that Wells will always be a Yankee to him. Wells won't always be a Yankee to me. To me, he'll be a Blue Jay, Tiger, Red, ...

The NY Post is reporting this morning that David Wells would like to return to the Yankees...again. Wells turns 45 on May 20 (same day as our guy Bobby Murcer), and due to being diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes, has dropped 20 pounds (his reported weight is 245). "I'm in shape, I'd just have to fine-tune a couple of things," Wells said. "I'd need a little bit of time, but not much. Physically I feel fine, real good." "If you're not going that good, what the hell, it doesn't hurt ...

They both love to hear themselves talk, have opinions about everything and are good at making people mad. Bad habits? Check! ...
