If you can't beat um, wait for them to release some scrubs.

So, yesterday marked a historical day in Yankee baseball history. The return of Ramirio Mendoza! After receiving a championship ring with the Red Sox last season, Mendoza resigned with the Yankees, where he was part of all four championships Yankee teams of the late 90's. So, it is safe to say, wherever this boy goes, championships follow.

Yesterday marked his season debut as he has been recovering from surgery and rehab appearances where he was 1-0 with an astounding 0.75 ERA for Triple A Columbus.

Yankees fans can further rejoice as Kevin Brown was moved to the 60 day DL to make room for Mendoza on the 40-man roster. To the dismay of Boston fans worldwide, it is highly unlikely that Kevin Brown will ever throw another pitch in pinstripes.

Mendoza, along with Mark Bellhorn and Alan Embree, now makes three former Red Sox - from the 2004 championship team - on the Yankee's roster, for which Joe Torre was quoted saying, "I'm not sure what the odds were on that happening."

Maybe they will come and hang at Riviera's with us next week!
