Yankees Clinch AL East
The expectation was always that the Yankees would bring championship baseball back to the Bronx, and though they had to know this celebration was coming for some time, it tasted just as sweet. The chase for an elusive American League East crown ended on Sunday, as the Yanks locked up the division and home-field advantage for the playoffs in one tidy swoop. The Yankees christened the winning tradition of their new cathedral with a 4-2 victory over the Red Sox at Yankee Stadium.
Andy Pettitte hurled six strong innings, Hideki Matsui came through with a clutch two-run hit, and the Yankees got homers from Melky Cabrera and Mark Teixeira en route to their 16th division title. They hope their 100th victory of the season is only a preview of events to come.
"It's been a while since we've won one here, and I think everybody is hungry," Pettitte said. "We're all trying to push each other and grind through. We want to bring another championship to New York. There's no better place to win than here."

Apparently today is "how to destroy your vehicle" day
A high-on-drugs Dutch trucker en route to Gothenburg, Sweden, was masturbating while driving and lost control, flipping the truck and blocking multiple lanes of traffic. While in the wreckage, he kept masturbating. Under police interrogation, he kept masturbating. That's determination.The man admitted at the scene to have been pleasuring himself while driving, resulting in his loss of control. That accident, which closed down one direction of traffic and shut off a lane traveling the other, didn't deter him from completing the task at hand, so he kept at it while police responded to the scene. When in custody and under interrogation, the man continued his salacious sexy time in the presence of officers.
Welcome to the Hudson Valley, Plax!
And he thought Cowboys fans were nasty.Plaxico Burress got a zero's welcome behind bars at Rikers Island, including taunts of "a - - hole!" and "The Giants suck!" according to jail guards.
"He was depressed," said one guard from Rikers, where the former Giants superstar spent his first-ever night behind bars. "He was trying to keep to himself, but everyone was yelling at him."
"These people got nothing," a second guard explained of the taunts. "What else are they gonna do?"
Burress began serving a two-year sentence yesterday for accidentally shooting himself in the thigh with his own Glock while drinking in the crowded VIP vestibule of the Latin Quarter nightclub in Midtown last November.
His stay at his first stop, Rikers, was brief. By 11 a.m. yesterday, he'd been driven upstate to the medium-security, 586-inmate Ulster Correctional Facility in Napanoch, an intake center where he'll be evaluated for more permanent placement elsewhere in the state prison system, said Correction Department spokeswoman Linda Foglia.
