Tyler Clippard, Dane Cook Fan

Yankees fans rejoiced — well, maybe rejoiced was the wrong word — when rookie Tyler Clippard avoided a sweep at the hands of the Mets on Sunday night. And, as Newsday pointed out yesterday, it brought all kinds of new friends to Clippard's MySpace page. So we're happy to send a few more over.

We can't say we're incredibly surprised to learn that Clippard is a Dane Cook fan; we'll say that.

We enjoy both his interests — "Baseball! BUCKEYES! FINS! GIRLS!" — and name checking of Top Gun. Mr. Clippard, you can ride our tail anytime.

OK, that came out wrong.
