The Boonedocks Aaron Boone, a Yankee hero for about 6 minutes last season, hurt his knee playing basketball and may have to miss all of the 2004 season. And they probably won't have to pay him his entire salary for this year because of a contract stipulation regarding him getting hurt playing basketball. There is a new hope in Yankeeville. But it sounds too good to be true. I bet Steinbrenner hired some lackeys to take him out. What's that I hear? Is it Alfonso Soriano's elbow shattering? Bernie Williams' guitar smashing him in the face? Jason Giambi's balls shrinking? Better watch out, bullpen.
