Congrats to Wang and congrats on the move to Belth, Corcoran, and the rest of the Bronx Banter crew.

As long as the Yankees have no interest in Burnett, AJ can have all the interest he wants.

Just a test, to make sure everything is working fine at the new stadium, er, site.

I prefer CC to A.J. More durable (I hope) and Yankees won't have to spend any money on the periods in his name.
