Our favorite Iraqi information minister : has surfaced as the new color man for the New York Yankees.

SAEED AL-SAHHAF: Bernie steps back into the box as all New York holds its breath ... the war criminal Martinez peers in for the sign ... he winds and delivers ... swung on and belted deep to left! It's going ... going ... and it's gone! ORDER THE SERVANTS TO ROAST THE FATTED CALF AND LAY OUT THE SATIN SHEETS, THE VESTAL VIRGINS HAVE ENTERED THE PALACE!!!! The Yankees lead is 12 runs and Martinez has collapsed on the mound! BOO-YAH!!!

KAY: Actually Mohammad, I think that was a called third strike on Giambi. And it leaves the score 14-2 in favor of Boston with the bases empty and the Yankees down to their final out.

Ol Baghdad Bob also had a few things to say about the Rangers and the NHL playoffs.

LOL. This is choice, vito. ESPN must surely have shot down some MADTV and SNL scripts by doing this. Wonder when this will appear as a skit. Super. How sweet would be the irony if he were the color announcer for the Giants games, over here in Baghdad-by-the-Bay ... "And Bonds has sealed the fates of the Oakland infidels with his 20 millionth home run. Surely, Bonds has booked a penthouse suite in the heavenly hotel of virgins tonight. Oh, praise be to ..."
