To all readers of YanksBlog, I wish you all a very Happy and Fruitful New Year. I hope you all have a great night and enjoy yourselves with family and friends but for God's sake, please, please be safe. I've lost a friend to a drunk driver and wouldn't want anyone to experience the same thing. Buzzed driving is drunk driving as Jim Leyritz looks to be finding out in the worst possible way.

The young son of a Florida woman who cops say was killed by ex-Yankee Jim Leyritz in a car crash went to bed with tears in his eyes after his father broke the horrible news to him.

"He asked me why Mommy wasn't going to come home; why Mommy was in the grass and who's going to take care of him," the unshaven and teary-eyed father said yesterday on the doorstep of his suburban Fort Lauderdale home. "She was a good mother and a great wife."

A bartender at the Blue Martini confirmed Leyritz had been in the place with two women.

"He came in and had a few [mixed] drinks. I think he had two," said the bartender, who would only give his name as Ray. Ray said he has served Leyritz before, adding, "He doesn't get plastered. He'll have a few drinks and switch to water."
