Do you know how to write in complete sentences, and not run on sentences?

When I heard that it was a Yankee pitcher...and knowing how angry Steinbrenner was when the Yankees were eliminated...and knowing that heads were gonna roll because of it...and knowing that Torre will get fired...my mind started to wander. Dave, like my run on sentence?

It was a suicide mission aimed at Derick Jeter's condo which is in that neighborhood. The suicide message to George said that the team did the best it could, but George can't expect to win every year.

Not bad, but you used too many punctuation marks.
