Sam Weinman has decided to leave the Rangers beat to take a senior editor position at www.golfdigest.com. And seriously, who can blame him? That’s a serious step up from blog writer.
First we lose John Dellapina, and now Sam Weinman? All we have left is Steve Zipay, a squirrel, and a crotchity old man.

I am absolutely swamped with work today, so sadly, there will not any Birthday Punches today, because I just don’t have time. Please try to hold back your tears.
However, today is Dominik Hasek’s 44th birthday, and I couldn’t leave him out just because I’m busy. So I give you one of my favorite clips of [...]
