At least Sarah Silverman knows that Doc Ellis pitched a no-hitter on LSD...

In a pretty painful interview Saturday Night during the Yanks/RedSox game, comedian Sarah Silverman turned a question about steroids in baseball into a comment about the benefits of Acid (LSD).
.
Yea, Doc Ellis pitched a no-hitter in 1970 while tripping on Acid.
.
At least Sarah Silverman had one highlight, because the rest was just unwatchable.

Girardi to Francesa: "No soup for you!"

Despite Mike telling listeners that Yankees manager Joe Girardi will be on Mike'd Up daily, that ain't gonna happen, according to Newsday. Honestly, I wouldn't want to talk to Francesa every day either.
.
But to hear Girardi tell it, he was misled: "The way it was announced is not the way it was talked about," Girardi said. "It just didn't work out the way we thought it was going to work out."
.
But Newsday reports that Girardi will continue to do Mike'd Up every Thursday, as well as his game day segment with Suzy on WCBS.
.
Newsday tops it off with this quote: "We had planned to do it every weekday all season but Joe asked to go back to our previous deal of once a week with Mike," WFAN operations manager Mark Chernoff said. "He felt it was going to be too time consuming having to do it every day...We were perfectly understanding of Joe's feelings and were OK with it going back to the old way."

Jeter is a "swinger"!

No, I don't read GQ...But Derek Jeter talking about his days as a single millionaire baseball player in New York is something I just might have to read.
.
"Don't get me wrong, it's not like I didn't go out and have fun," Jeter tells GQ.
.
Back in the day, Jeter was banging models, Miss Universes, and Mariah Carey when people actually wanted to bang Mariah Carey.
.
Unlike A-Rod, Jeter got his women before they were used up. Jeter got brand new puppies. A-Rod gets somebody's old dog.

Cliff Lee: "some of the Yankee guys are getting older."

To explain why the Yankees had absolutely no shot at getting Cliff Lee this offseason, Cliff Lee says that the Yanks, despite offering more money, were about third (maybe even fourth) on his list.
.
From Deadspin:
Who finished second to the Phillies in his mind:
"Texas probably finished second to be honest with you. Just as far as the quality of the team and the chance to win a World Series ring, I think they're a better team. That's just my opinion. The Yankees can do anything at any moment to improve and they're not afraid to go do things. That was part of the decision making process too, but I felt like with what the Red Sox had done and it seems like some of the Yankee guys are getting older, but I liked the Rangers."
.
He's still rich beyond his wildest dreams, as will be his grandchildren.
