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
Posted in MLB, New York Yankees, Sports on 14 July 2008 | Leave a Comment »
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
Posted in MLB, New York Yankees, Sports on 5 July 2008 | Leave a Comment »
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 [...]

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
Posted in MLB, New York Yankees, Sports on 23 June 2008 | 1 Comment »
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 [...]
