102 Years and Counting

102 Years and Counting

I have been living in the Chicago area for three years and I am so glad I never adored this team. I cheer for them out of pity only. I am a die hard Yankee fan and I am fortunate for that. I feel really sorry for Chicago Cubs fans who year after year are [...]

Why the Yankees may not win the AL East

Why the Yankees may not win the AL East

As of late, the offense has been sputtering and the pitching has been inconsistent. AJ Burnett seems like a man on an island all by himself. He hasn’t been the pitcher the Yankees expected. They acquired Lance Berkman, Austin Kearns and Kerry Wood, but nothing has improved. Berkman just is not hitting and Kearns is [...]

Cubs Better Off without Lou

Cubs Better Off without Lou

Lou Piniella’s fire is more like a fizzle and the man who had a 30 year career in MLB will retire at the end of the season. The once fiery manager has lost a few steps and words in between those steps. Cubs fans were sure that sweet Lou would have won a championship since [...]

AJ Burnett What Gives?

AJ 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 [...]

Baltimore Orioles Need Money for Food

Baltimore Orioles Need Money for Food

It’s like a panhandler on a street with a cardboard sign that reads “Need Money for Food.” The Baltimore Orioles again are in last and have the worst record (15-34) in baseball. They are the bums of baseball and it doesn’t look like that will change for a long time to come or at least [...]

Josh Beckett – Albert Pujols and Carl Zambrano

The opening week of MLB brings out the best in some and the worst in others. The baseball season has officially started and for some, it could be a long season. Pujols slaps two homers in the Cardinals opening game and he is already off to a hot start. On the other hand, Josh Beckett [...]

Ken Griffey Jr Not a Kid Anymore

Ken Griffey Jr Not a Kid Anymore

I remember when Ken Griffey Jr. first came up when he was a kid among men. He started his MLB career at the young age of 20. He broke in with the Seattle Mariners in 1989 and played in 127 games with 16 HR and 61 RBI and batted .264. Does the Kid have anything [...]

Johnny Damon to the Tigers?

Johnny Damon to the Tigers?

It has been a long winter for Johnny on the spot in hopes that the Yankees would offer a deal that would keep Damon in pinstripes for two more years. Unfortunately, the Yankees never called the 36 year old outfielder. The Detroit Tigers are prepared to offer Johnny Damon $14MM over two years. This would [...]

Yankees and Red Sox Fans Armed and Ready

If it wasn’t for the Bean Town fans, Yankees fans would just have a case of mouth masturbation. What makes baseball fun for me is the rivalry between the Red Sox and Yankees. In fact, without this rivalry, baseball writers would be sitting on their hands. It’s not the hatred that you read from time [...]
