YES Network Interviews a Former Yankee...

...and that Yankee is Cody Ransom. I mean, how can you hide your excitement when you see something like this on Twitter? "Former Yankee Cody Ransom reunites with YES. Check YESNetwork.com later today for full interview."

A "full" interview? What are you going to interview the guy about? And could they find a better picture than one where he has two hands down the front of his shorts? Jeez. Classy job there, Cody. Are they going to be doing a Yankeeography on Ransom now? I know that he surprised a lot of people in 2008 with his bat, but in 2009, Ransom was pretty darn awful, posting a .190/.256/.329 line and actually getting benched at times for Angel Berroa. The most famous thing he did all season was make a YouTube video in which he jumped about 62 inches which got the attention of Johnny Damon and the New York Times. But for such a great athlete, Ransom wasn't actually a good fielder, posting -4.3 runs below average based on UZR last year according to FanGraphs giving him a wonderful WAR of -0.6.

Forget the Mark McGwire sitdown with Bob Costas or A-Rod's with Peter Gammons; this will blow them both out of the water. I will be certain to check out YESNetwork.com today for what should be a riveting interview.
