Tom Ricketts himself isn't. The rest of the Rickettses, though, especially Joe (the father), are firebreathing Tea Party types.

There was legitimately a moment where I was at work standing in the entryway of an exec's office talking to him, and somebody knocked on the door above my head to also talk to the exec, and I turned around and it was Ted Cruz, and my entire body went into total panic mode and entered Fight Or Flight before I realized that I was looking at Tom Ricketts and not Ted Cruz. I'm pretty sure I stammered something incoherent and then ran away

Yankees called up 22 year old 3B prospect Miguel Andujar to probably sit on the bench while Girardi continues to play Headley instead. It's weird to see so many young players on the Yankees.

I have to imagine this move is in reaction to an incoming DL stint from either Headley or Holliday, most likely Holliday. They wouldn't call up Andujar if they do't intend to have him play regularly in some fashion, he's only got 7 AAA games under his belt.
