The Boss Dead at 80
I was fortunate to grow up as a Yankees fan because of my dad. What I remember most about George Steinbrenner, was all the managers he fired and some multiple times. Steinbrenner had a winning attitude and his care for baseball and Yankee fans. The man changed baseball dramatically when it came to salaries. I [...]
Full StoryAJ Burnett What Gives?
How much did the Yankees pay AJ Burnett? They paid too much for a guy who is streaky. In his last 7 games he has been, at best, average. That $16 million per year sure feels like the Yankees got robbed blind or they made the wrong bet for this pitcher. I would trade this [...]
Full StoryCliff Lee Traded to Yankees?
The trade deadline is July 31 and General Managers are like sharks looking for the perfect meal, but the meal is more like a meal ticket. The teams that are in the hunt to make the playoffs will be the fastest swimmers. Who will land the biggest prize? It’s not that far fetch that the [...]

Full StoryYankees Home Opener has a Ring to it
The Yankees will play there first home game today against the visiting Angels. They will also receive their World Series Rings as well. Matsui will receive his, but in an Angels uniform. I think its great timing or scheduling that Matsui comes to Yankee stadium to get his World Series ring. He deserves it as [...]
Full StoryRays Bullpen No Steady Freddy
Balls hitting rings, umps confused and the Yankees have a good road trip going 4-2 and will head back to the Bronx for their well deserved championship rings. The Rays bullpen looks weak, and this is the spine that holds leads. I am not sure the Rays will be able to compete in the East [...]
Full StoryYankees Mark Teixeira Off to a Bad Start
Mark Teixeira went 0 for 4 last night against the Tampa Rays and is 0 for 16 through four games, matching his longest hitless stretch to begin a season. “That’s just the way it is for me,” Teixeira said before Friday’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays. “I start every season the same way. I [...]
