We know we're supposed to make fun of Billy Crystal's at-bat for the Yankees yesterday . We know that you expect us to. And certainly Crystal's hardly what passes for cutting edge entertainment anymore; God, was the last time he was funny in a movie really the first City Slickers? (Though he gets some leeway for being so great in Deconstructing Harry . But we digress.) We have seen how ... [link]
