There was a great SNL spoof on Bill Gates a long time ago and in it he starts talking in binary. I always think of that skit when I hear about John Henry. It amazes me that the Red Sox owner doesn't take more crap for his desire to only interact with the world from behind a computer.
So, it should not have surprised me that Henry has a Twitter account. What did surprise me is that he decided to take a shot at Mark Teixeira last night with it. It seems Henry sent the following Twitter last night after the Red Sox finished off the Yankees- "The MT curse?"
Can you imagine the howls we would be hearing from Boston if one of the Steinbrenner boys had done something like that to a Red Sox? But apart from that, what exactly is Henry thinking here? Does he expect Mark Teixeira to laugh this off? If so, I think he is going to be disappointed.
Henry is certainly allowed to say whatever he wants, but this seems like a silly one to me. Why would you rile up a player who is going to be your opponent for the next eight years? We shall see how this plays out, but I imagine Tex will be on a mission to prove Henry wrong. That's ok by me.

And on a completely separate note - tonight's win against the Mutts was, in a word, ugly.
From Joba's walks and his crazy pitch count to Tomko's ineffectiveness to Mo giving it back and lastly to winning a ballgame on a dropped popup? Yeah, it goes in the NYY win column but it was the Mutts who GAVE us that game.
Pitching - we need pitchers who can throw strikes consistently. Until that happens (again), we're going to be in trouble.
