As he now does every year, the Food Monkey plans to break his Yom Kippur fast tomorrow evening by attempting to down a Godzilla Burger at Eagle's Deli in Cleveland Circle - that's one pound of meat and a matching pound of fries, starting at 6 p.m.

Kevin Youkilis will be able to play final regular-season game against Yankees after all

Seems a Sox/Yankees game originally scheduled for 1 p.m. on Sept. 27 was moved to 8 p.m. so ESPN could show it, but then was moved back to 1 p.m. again because that evening happens to be the start of Yom Kippur. The un-move came after a New York congressman complained to Bud Selig. ~~Bonus: No Joe Morgan.~~ But looks like ESPN will still be broadcasting the game.
