NEW HAVEN - In a brief press conference this evening, New Haven 
Traffic Cones GM Jeff Stanley announced that tonight's game would go 
on as scheduled, despite the explosion at nearby Yale University.

"The team is not going to be intimidated by some *explicative* 
*explicative* who think they are going to impact the American 
pastime," Stanley said.  "This team is 100% American and takes crap 
from no one.  See those flags on our jerseys?  I mean, just look at 
my picture (on Jon's page).  I think that just about sums it up."

Stanley went on to say that Yale Field was, with the exception of lead 
paint and asbestos threats, completely safe, and fans should have no 
inhibitions about attending games at the stadium.  As reassurance, 
however, and in a show of increased security, Coney was given a larger 
bat in order to beat any potential troublemakers or French.  Stanley 
also added that fans who were apprehensive about attending tonight's 
game would be given full refunds unless, of course, they are Canadian.
