I am trying to imagine Lance Armstrong whining about no ice cream on the team bus:

Win Games, Eat Ice Cream

By Tyler Kepner


Remember when you were in Little League, and you got to have ice cream if you won? That’s what it’s like around the Yankees these days.

The Yankees went on a health kick when Joe Girardi was named manager, prohibiting ice cream from the players’ lounge. Now the ice cream has returned, because the loudest critic of the policy, Mike Mussina, has reached 10 victories. It happened much quicker this season than last.

“It took me till September last year,” Mussina said. “They must have thought this was a lock-solid bet.”

Other forms of junk food are still barred, but Mussina is hopeful he can win enough games to bring back M&M’s. “Ice cream’s a good step,” he said. “It’s getting warmer.”

Unfortunately for Mussina, his drink of choice – Mountain Dew – is not available in the clubhouse. The Yankees serve only Coca-Cola products, Mussina said, and PepsiCo makes Mountain Dew.

Ugh, Mountain Dew...
