Best Headline I've Seen In A While

Praise Jesus!!

No!  Not that one (even though it is great, wonderful, holiday-worthy news that he will be around for at least a little while longer), THAT one.

Good move by the Yankees here.  It was obvious they wanted Lee, especially if they were willing to center the deal around The Almighty.  But when you get wind of your trade partner still poking around for offers from other teams, that's a sure sign that they are looking for you to sweeten the pot a little and that, even more than offering Montero for a starter they don't need right now, is the perfect reason to cut talks and keep your cards in your hand for the time being.

Maybe the Mariners can get a better deal for Lee, and maybe they can't.  I'm personally still a little nervous that the talks could re-start.  But for now, I'm just happy that I still have the option of putting up The Jesus picture while he still belongs to New York.
