OK, if you're reading this, you're thinking "the site isn't down, I'm reading it right now." But actually, you're just lucky. (Relatively speaking. Not how-did-Ashton-Kutcher-become-a-star-and-date-Demi-Moore lucky, but lucky.)

According to an e-mail sent a moment ago by Technical Wizard Coach KW, "Rogers [the hosting service for this site] has been hit with a DoS attack. A bunch of frazzled techies are trying to keep everything alive, but I think it's going to be an intermittent problem all day, if not longer. The support engineer I talked to says that ... they are bouncing servers and routers trying to deal with this mess."

So some people, like me, can get in. And some, like Coach, can't. And before it occurs to you, NO, I don't know how to launch a DoS attack.

Meanwhile, please stay tuned for the re-launching of Da Box's new pinstripes-driven design. [Bahahahahahahahahahahhahaha!!!]

You'll need something to keep yourself occupied as your expensive, veteran-laden team sinks slowly in the standings. :-)

Can we start a Steinbrenner Eruption-O-Meter on this site?

They're making a sequel to "Dude, Where's My Car." I kid you not.

Why? Presumably because the first one left so many unanswered questions.

Like, what happens when the batteries run out?

What are they calling it? "Dude, I Mean It: Where The #$%@ Is My Car!?"

"Seriously Dude, Where's My Car?" is the sequel name.
I'm not making it up.

... and the NUMBER ONE best thing about being a Yankees fan?

Bitter Blue Jay apologists write stuff like that on a day the Yankees have the second-best record in the AL and are leading the AL East.

(True, Boston winning two yesterday temporarily changed that ... but the point remains.)

As for a SteinbrennerErupt-O-Meter, one already exists. It's called The New York Post.

Don't forget about the Yankees engineering a work stoppage in '94 so they wouldn't be humiliated by the Expos in the World Series. :)
