Personal Stuff
2007-08-08 05:29:00
My first shipment of 2008 All-Star gear arrived today. This is the first of many packages and this one consisted of the official baseball and shot glass. The baseball is really neat. It has Commissioner Selig's facsimile signature on it, below it past the stitching is the All-Star Game logo and the stitching is a nice touch. Blue with silver stitches. Also, an update from my fantasy team ...

For Yanks, Things Get Tough
2007-08-07 17:42:00
Two months left to go and the Yankees have a very tough schedule. Having warm-up games against Kansas City and Toronto, they will soon face all three division leaders, plus the two teams in front on New York in the wild card chase. Following the Toronto series currently under way, the Yankees head to Cleveland, one of the highest scoring teams this season for a three game stretch in which we ...

Fantasy Baseball Winds Down
2007-08-07 15:38:00
As the major league season starts to heat up, fantasy baseball is too, if your lucky. My Yahoo! teams were long gone once the season started, but my MLB Open team is the #2 team in the league and has reached the World Series. There is one huge downfall that could be the end of my run to possible make it to the MLB Open tournament. One is one of my undroppable players is Alfonso Soriano, who has ...

Mike Myers Dismissed
2007-08-06 22:22:00
Here's to you "K.K." Mike Myers, the lefty "specialist" has been designated for assignment. This means the Yankees have 10 days to either release, trade, or send him to the minors. Left-handed hitters post a .318 average with a false 2.88 ERA. Yes, he may not allow his ERA to be inflated, but he does raise the ERA's of other pitchers. Myer's WHIP (walks plus hits over innings pitched) is close ...

There It Is

Alex Rodriguez becomes the youngest player in MLB history to hit 500 home runs. He also ties Mickey Mantle for the longest stretch between 499 and 500 with 28 at-bats. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ...

Note to A-Rod
2007-08-02 17:49:00
It's good to see that you are taking lightly to your recent batting drought, and that's OK. You are relaxed and are not worrying about the media adding pressure to what is already a pressure-inducing at bat. I've noticed when you are at bat for #500, you are tense and don't look comfortable at the plate. With every pitch you see flashbulbs go off and all you can think about is the home run. ...

Proctor for Betemit
2007-07-31 19:58:00
Scott Proctor (2-5/3.81/37) has been traded. The relief pitcher for the Yankees who has been on a roller coaster type season with inconsistency has been traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers for infielder Wilson Betemit. Betemit (.231/10/26) was a promising star prospect for the Dodgers will be the new reserve infielder sharing roles with Miguel Cairo. Nice to see the Yankees are improving the ...

Canseco Accuses A-Rod
2007-07-30 23:36:00
This is straight from ESPN.com: When Jose Canseco wrote "Juiced" in 2005, he brought the issue of steroids in Major League Baseball to the forefront. Now, Canseco has another book due this fall and he promises some juicy info on Alex Rodriguez. Canseco told WEEI-Radio in Boston on Friday that he has "other stuff" on the Yankees slugger, who he called a "hypocrite" who "was not all he appeared ...

Yanks Quiet in Trade Talks
2007-07-30 16:52:00
As of now the Yankees have remained somewhat quiet this trade season. With interest in both first baseman Mark Texeria and closer Eric Gagne, the Yankees have not advanced further. Texeria may remain with the Rangers as talks of trades with him have ceased and the Rangers are asking about pitches Phil Hughes, Joba Chamberlain, and outfielder Melky Cabrera. Yankees brass refused to deal the three ...

Dump Kei Igawa
2007-07-27 02:58:00
Why the Yankees signed this horrible pitcher, I have no idea, but this is one of the worst pitchers I have seen on the Yankees staff since the 1996 team. They say this guy won the Japanese version of the Cy Young, must have been one terrible year for pitchers. Get rid of Kei Igawa, he is a waste of time and money and can't pitch at all. A very stupid mistake by the management. This guy is ...

Half Time Report
2007-07-12 02:51:00
Joe Torre acknowledges that his Yankees made it look easy during their run of four World Series titles in five years, in memories that grow foggier by the day. Maybe it was a little too easy. For the first time in Torre's tenure at the helm of the Yankees, the team has struggled deep into the calendar months of the season. The Yankees started 11-19 in 2005, and it appeared as though the Bronx ...

The first episode is the 8-episode series begins with the 1977 game against the Boston Red Sox in which Reggie Jackson (Daniel Sunjata) appears to not hustle for a pop fly ball to right field Billy Martin (John Turturro) is obviously displeased with his performance and benches Jackson only to have a fight nearly break out.

Mrs A-Rod Did What?

The wife of Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez wore a white tank top with foul language on the back when she attended a game against the Oakland Athletics. A common two-word obscenity ending with "you" was clearly visible when Cynthia Rodriguez, her 2-year-old daughter and an unidentified older woman took their seats Sunday in the players' family section at Yankee Stadium.

3 To Go To All-Star Game

Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez and shortstop Derek Jeter steamrolled their paths toward the All-Star Game in San Francisco, tallying enough votes to finish first and second, respectively, among all Major League leaders. The voting was less certain for Jorge Posada, who made it into the Midsummer Classic as an American League reserve. Because the votes that spurred the catcher on to the ...

In 2003, the Florida Marlins defeated the Yankees in the World Series. Their pitching staff included Josh Beckett, Brad Penny, Dontrelle Willis, and Carl Pavano. Becket is with the Red Sox and leads the majors in wins (11). Penny is with the Dodgers and is tied for the league lead in wins (10). Dontrelle Willis is the current Marlins ace.

Crazy Comment

I got this weird comment from some idiot the other day and I would like to enlighten you about it. I have already deleted the comment, but found this interesting. As sports memorabilia collectors learn more about the god's system they realize what they are doing is wrong. As light is shed people realize none of this material has value, and the more people understand the less value it retains. ...

The Future of Roger Clemens
2007-06-23 18:08:00
Roger Clemens has a tireless work ethic and a splitter that still gives big league hitters fits, but The Rocket apparently can also laugh at himself. The 44-year-old right-hander reportedly got some of the biggest laughs in the Yankees' clubhouse out of a popular Internet clip this week, which depicts the future Hall of Famer seeking a contract in the year 2057.

Are You There Offense? It's Us, The Yankees
2007-06-22 00:17:00
Dear Offense, Please bless out bats in hopes of a win. We have been swept by the Colorado Rockies, whom ever they are, and only scored a total of four runs in a park which normally yields many more. Please bless our feet, so we may run like the wind, steal bases (forgive us), and score runs. Please bless our pitching, where ever they are. Please bless our fielding, this we have been asking ...

Who is Don Zimmerman?
2007-06-20 04:46:00
I have been getting a lot of hits with the key words "Don Zimmerman". For all of you out there, the Yankees never had a player, coach, or manager named Don Zimmerman. They did have a bench coach named Don Zimmer, who did get into altercation with former Red Sox pitcher Pedro Martinez during the 2003 ALCS. Please make sure you type in your keys words properly, although I do appreciate the visits. ...

Along with team president Randy Levine and assistant general manager Jean Afterman, Cashman was part of a contingent that ...

Round 1 #30 Andrew Brackman, RHP North Carolina St University The concern with Brackman heading into his first full season as a baseball player only was how durable he would be.

Still, the pure stuff, including a 97-mph fastball when he's ...
