The Dodgers won today. Okay, you might see that again. What might you not see? The Dodgers winning despite not collecting a single hit against the Angels.
This has to be a pretty odd feeling for Dodgers fans: they’re happy they won, naturally, but they didn’t even get a hit. History? Oh yeah. It’s not [...]

It has been a trying few days for me, so I’m sorrry I have been completely MIA over here. I promise I’ll be back sometime later and will probably do analysis of…the Yankees. Like a dream come true, isn’t it?

The final cuts have been made for the US WNT’s roster of 18 bound for Beijing! Who made Pia Sundhage’s list? Who got cut? Why? How close was I when I made my original predictions (save for the recent injuries)? Well, check out the roster and my usual commentary:
Goalkeepers:
Nicole Barnhart
Hope Solo
Forwards:
Natasha Kai
Amy [...]

Today was not a great day for the Yankees at all. The pitching looked more lost than anything. I’ll have a lot more on them coming your way in the near future, but, for now, enjoy catching up:
Yankees: OF Justin Christian, a right-handed bat (that’s probably why he’s up instead of Gardner), made his MLB [...]
Meet the newest Yankee outfielder

I’ve found the next person who should be called on to play outfield for the Yankees. My only question: can she hit homers as well as she can rob them?
I know, I know, it’s fake…but it’s totally awesome anyway!

Got some Yankees news for you and the usual. Have fun:
Yankees: Sir Sidney Ponson is almost a lock to pitch on Friday in one of the games of the twinbill. Hold your breath. How can you tell? The pitcher for Scranton on the day that would be his start is TBA. I think I’d [...]

The defense has been quite unkind to the Yankees of late, helping to lead them to thier past two losses at the hands of the Reds. Wanted posters are scattering the Bronx, as the search is on for offense. The Yankees will look to stop the bleeding tomorrow by sending Andy Pettitte to the mound. [...]
Sidney Ponson pitching for the Yankees becomes more likely

Steven White, a AAA pitcher for the Yankees, has had his fair share of struggles this year. In fact, he was taken out of their starting rotation and moved to the bullpen because of his sudden difficulty in getting hitters out. This morning, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reported that White has now [...]

Fire Your Manager week rolled on today as yet another announcement was made to the firing of an MLB manager. Who got it this time? The guy who always got along well with his players, John Gibbons.
Gibbons always had a sweet, even-tempered attitude, especially when it came to players like Shea Hillenbrand (Where is [...]
Switchies are fun to mess with

There was loads of fun to be had watching the debacle of a switch pitcher going after a switch hitter in his pro debut. Yes, the much-awaited ambidextrous Pat Venditte made his debut for Staten Island last night and had a nice play of ring-around-the-glove, mound, batter’s box…and wherever else you can place yourself in [...]
