Retweet of the Day - July 27, 2012

The New York Jets' 2012 training camp is underway. Of course the big media story in the Big Apple is backup quarterback Tim Tebow. Some of you in the Twittersphere have had enough of Tebow Mania 2012 already. Bloggers, like me, think of it as the gift that keeps on giving.

Today's retweet if from Shooter McGavin (‏@ShooterMcGavin_). Shooter is focused more on the athletic aspects of Tebow's arrival in New York along with another new New Yorker, Yankees right fielder Ichiro Suzuki.


"Ichiro Suzuki is heading to New York *golf clap* Tim Tebow now has the 4th best arm in NYC behind Eli, Sanchez, and Ichiro"

Tebow's accuracy...it's like that.

Four Degrees of Separation from Ichiro Suzuki

The trade yesterday of right fielder Ichiro Suzuki to the New York Yankees is the opening salvo fired in this year's annual arms race in preparation for October. It was the news of the day in Major League Baseball. The move to the Big Apple will give Suzuki an opportunity to compete for a World Series ring. It gives the Yankees a situational hitter who will not be an easy out for any pitcher.

The Detroit Tigers are loaded with talent and have been playing up to their ability during the last month after a sluggish first two months of the season. Should the Tigers and Yankees continue to play at a high level, their meeting in the playoffs is inevitable. Colin Cowherd speculated that the Yankees brought Ichiro on board to insert into the lineup in postseason situations against a pitcher such as Detroit's Justin Verlander, last year's American League Most Valuable Player.

Verlander's girlfriend is the lovely model Kate Upton. Sure, I had to stretch to tie her in to a relevant and current topic. You can tweet me any complaints (@ech1997). Enjoy!



October is the month to wear pink (Breast Cancer Awareness). 1



That's a cool glass. 2

She's above her piers...and above a pier. 3

And she plays well with others. 4

I'm sure she loosened her top because of the warm weather. 5

And she doesn't mind feeding him? Justin Verlander, you live a charmed life, my friend! 6

Retweet of the Day - July 24, 2012

The New York Yankees made the pre-trade deadline splash of the day on Monday when they were dealt Seattle Mariners right fielder Ichiro Suzuki in exchange for prospects. Suzuki has worn #51 during his career in Seattle, but wore #31 in his debut with the Yankees, in deference to all-time Yankees great outfielder Bernie Williams.

This lit up the Twittersphere. Today's retweet is from Tom Keiser (‏@keisertroll) and illustrates that you can't please everyone all of the time no matter what good gesture you offer. It's also proof that it doesn't take much to make sports news after the NBA Finals and before the NFL season.



"I love it how Ichiro deferred to Bernie Williams over #51 and then decided to wear Dave Winfield's Yankee number."

Winfield was a great Yankee. He was also a great Padre, Angel, Blue Jay, Twin, and he even spend time as an Indian. More than half of his career was not spent in New York. Williams spent his entire 16 year career in pinstripes.
