Randy Johnson has a long memory, of good games and bad. In two years as a Yankee, there have been plenty of each.

Like most decent Americans, I have been sickened by the Michael Vick dogfighting debacle. There can be no excuse for torturing and abusing man's best friend -- forcing dogs to fight to the death, under penalty of death. That a high-profile athlete like Vick carried this out in the name of "sport" makes it all the more disgusting.

This is how the AL West was un-won: Basically, the same way it was so often won. How ironic that the Oakland Athletics â-inners of the last three division championships with

A year ago, he was the new star in camp. Reporters begged for a moment of his time and he managed to avoid most of them. He was the centerpiece acquisition off a tumultuous offseason, a can't-miss kid with a World Series MVP (won in Yankee Stadium!) on his r&#xE9;sum&#xE9;.

PITTSBURGH -- Forget the Curse of the Bambino. How about the Curse of Heinz Field?

Last season was . . . well, last season. Which is a long time ago. Or so say the Chargers every time they're asked if bad blood exists between them and the Patriots because of that playoff game in San Diego.

Whaddya think? Let him close tonight? He threw only 99 pitches and he was still pumping high-octane gas at the end. Curt Schilling might be good for a batter or two in a pinch tonight.

I hope your Thanksgiving dinner was more enjoyable than the two NFL games I was forced to watch. Three of the worst teams in the NFL struggled on national television and the entire country had to witness their substandard play.

Rats. I was pretty sure Manny Ram&#xED;rez was going to win the MVP award. Too bad he was topped by winner Justin Morneau, runner-up Derek Jeter, David Ortiz, and an ensemble cast of American League worthies.

Picked-up pieces while waiting for the AFC Championship game . . . Please tell me you were rooting for the Colts. Wouldn't this 19-0 ride be more satisfying with a butt-kicking of Indy at the Razor? Wouldn't that be like beating Derek Jeter and Friends en route to the 2004 World Series win? Wouldn't that be like the old Larry ...

I played two seasons of Little League in Queens under a cigar-chomping manager named Morty Silver. My sole distinction was winning a trophy for Best Sport, which Morty gave me for crying the least after striking out.
