I admit that in the midst of the NFL draft coming up, the NHL and NBA playoffs and this presidential primary thingee, it had escaped my attention that Yankees manger Joe Girardi had banned candy from the New York clubhouse at home and abroad proving that it's never to early to go into Capt. Queeg mode in the Bronx.

Here we have a an actual purported photograph of the candy and ice cream cooler for the visiting team at our own beloved Camden Yards during the weekend series against the Yankees.  To keep A-Rod and Jeter away from the goodies, it looks like they got Houdini locked up in there.

One can only assume this executive decsion by Girardi extends to officially licensed candy (below) and who knows what impact it'll have on overall MLB revenues?

My favorite line on this comes from Deadspin where they say you know the ban is serious when  Jason Giambi tests positive for nougat.
