Terrible news for the US WNT yesterday. During their match against Brazil, their final tune-up for the Olympics, Abby Wambach suffered a broken leg in the 32nd minute and will miss the Olympics. Lauren Cheney will likely be her replacement, as she is the back-up forward.
This will make getting the gold a lot more difficult [...]

Okay, so I don’t normally watch the Home Run Derby. This year is my exception because it’s at Yankee Stadium. Am I the only one who broke into hysterics when the host told the crowd to, “Give me your best Bronx cheer?”
I tell you…he certainly doesn’t know a true Bronx cheer.
Papelbon is freakin’ nuts

For God knows what reason, Jonathan Papelbon thinks he should close out tomorrow night’s All-Star Game. Ahem.
Welcome to Yankee Stadium ladies, gentlemen, and Papelbon. It’s the home of the Yankees. It houses the best closer in baseball history, and certainly the closer having the best season in either league. That guy…you know, what’s-his-name. Silly me. [...]
Bobby Murcer passes away at 62

I have been completely shoddy with updates, but I have to mention the passing of a great man and a great Yankee, Bobby Murcer. Murcer passed away today at 62 due to complications with brain cancer.
Having lost family to cancer and seeing many other important people in my life, whether they be members of my [...]
The state of the rotation

A few weeks ago, I took a look at the state of the Yankees’ pitching. Based on all of the injuries and fill-ins, I think it’s time for another look. Let’s start with the rotation, which is the most pressing need. I’ll post about the bullpen later.
Right now, the Yankees have 3 healthy starters that [...]

Finally back with some sports updates. It has been a long time, so there’s no way I’m catching you up for that long. Here are some recent notes (only from today, since I’m feeling a bit lazy):
Yankees: Johnny Damon might be headed to the DL for the first time in his career. With the All-Star [...]

Well, I hope you all enjoyed your 4th of July. To celebrate being back and all, I’ve got a picture for you. Rocking the fireworks Southern California style. Happy holidays and enjoy the rest of your weekend! Yeah, I’m far from pro with photography.
A series of unfortunate events
Posted in Life on 4 July 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Due to some unfortunate circumstances that have cropped up in the past two weeks, I have been completely MIA from the blogging scene. I also haven’t really kept up much with what’s going on around sports, though I have been able to glaze through some of the headlines on a daily basis.
No, nobody’s injured, dead, [...]
