Site Maintenance

Nick was complaining that the blue was wearing off the Yankee letters, so we've got a bit of housekeeping to do. Hopefully it should not affect things for long.

update 1:06p - all done.

Separated at Birth: Variety Show Edition

 

By day he is an esteemed writer, Yankee blogger, and design critic.  By night, a visually impaired Billy Joel impersonator.

A true American Idol.

Title says it all. Get your latest YFSF posts delivered via Twitter, plus extra bits that maybe don't make it to the front page. Wondering what we are talking about? John Cleese answers that best (NSFW if your bosses are a bunch of jackasses).

Slow Change

In a stunning coup, the Yankees have traded Phil Franchise and IPK for Cole Hamels, who will bring his devastating change-up to the Bronx.

Nah, that's not true. Just seeing if you were paying attention. There is a slow change going on with the guts of YFSF. We hope some of these features might actually even work.

Independence Day Special: Sox-Yanks Gamer VII

First off, our warmest congratulations to Paul-SF, new daddy, as the Missus and he welcomed Jocelyn-SF into the world yesterday morning. Hooray!

Jon Lester's shutout last night gave the Red Sox a four games to two lead in the season series. Today we see Josh Beckett face off against Darrell Rasner. I hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday.

Comment away.

YFSF Welcomes: IronHorse (YF)

As always, we here at YFSF continually look to deepen our roster of fabulous writers, the more varied the viewpoints on the national pastime (and the rivalry) the better.  To that end, we are happy to announce that frequent commenter, occasional rabble-rouser, but always thoughtful Yankee fan IronHorse has been made an author at YFSF. 

Quick intro: IronHorse is the father of two young children, hails from Manhattan, and grew up adoring Bucky Dent.  His full profile can be viewed at the bottom of this page.  Welcome aboard, IH!

YFSF.org

Are you tired of mangled fingers from the trainwreck of a URL that was our former home? Thinking of suing attackgerbil for carpal tunnel when banging out the address on a computer where you don't have us bookmarked, or at least poking him in the eye with one of your RSI-crookedized digits? Fret no more. The new home of YFSF is:

yfsf.org

Links coming in from off site pointing to pages at our TypePad address still function, but all internal links point at the new domain. Let us know of any wrinkles you encounter.

One thing that will affect everyone: with the new domain, your "auto-remembered" name/email/url data used when commenting will have to be re-entered and re-remembered to issue a new cookie for your web browser.

Thank you from your yfsf authors.

Sidebar Schedule & Standings Module

I finally got off my lazy backside (figuratively speaking as I remain a practicing assal horizontologogist) and fixed the sidebar module to bring the schedules, results, and other whatnot back to life. Hopefully it will hold up. Please let me know if you see anything looking at you askance.
