The real rivaly in the AL East

Jeter, Rodriguez, Giambi. Making Joe Torre's shakeup of the lineup look pretty smart.

Yes. It's true. I'm live-blogging a Yankees/Devil Rays game. It's come to that.

7:28
Sheffield, Matsui, Bernabe. Making him look smarter still. But is Posada anything more than an automatic out at this point? And Sheffield can't run. At all.

7:32
Posada can walk though, and so can Sheffield. 4-0. No outs. The Devil Rays starter is gone before I can figure out how to spell his name.

7:38
Brazelton, a denizen of the D-Rays AAA team proceeds to get the next three out, though another run scores. 5-0. If the Yankees blow this one...

Meanwhile, this is wild.

The 7-foot-1 Miami Heat center, who is in the process of becoming a Miami Beach reserve officer, was driving on South Beach around 3 a.m. Sunday. He saw a passenger in a car yell anti-gay slurs at the couple, who were walking, said Bobby Hernandez, a spokesman for the Miami Beach Police Department.

The man then got out of the car and threw a bottle, hitting one of the pedestrians, who was not seriously hurt. The man got back in the car, which sped off. O'Neal followed, flagging down an officer who made an arrest, Hernandez said.

Michael Gonzalez, 18, was arrested on charges of aggravated assault and assault with a deadly weapon. The driver of the car was not charged.

O'Neal, who hopes to be a police chief or county sheriff one day, was already being fitted for his Miami Beach police uniform before he helped the police out.

Yankee pitcher Jared Wright promptly gives back...2 runs. Geez, I hate Tampa Bay.
