I still can't believe that Bengie hit a triple.

There are 11 Red Sox on the disabled list! The only thing that could make me feel worse is seeing someone who can be outpaced by the average box turtle get a triple at Fenway!

I would have thought that George would have ended up in a hot place with tails and cloven hooves.

What part of the cartoon tells you where he ENDED up?

I didn't see anyone in the cartoon with a tail or a cloven hoof so I know that the Boston Globe doesn't think he went to that place.

I thought that one way it works is that you show up at the Pearly Gates, your name is checked in the big book, and you either get in to Heaven or are sent to the place to which you are referring. Hence, there is nothing in the cartoon to suggest that George didn't meet his fate from these Red Sox fans, who sent him packing to join his fellow demons.

This cartoon comes from yesterday's Newsday, a New York paper. It captures Steinbrenner quite well.
