http://www.greenpinstripes.com/ - It was the best of franchises, it was the worst of franchises. My love affair with the Jets and Yankees.
The system works. Eric Smith appealed his one-game suspension for his helmet-to-helmet hit on Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Anquan Boldin last weekend. In the meantime, the Jets placed Smith on the reserve/suspended list and activated running back Jesse Chatman. The appeal will ...

The hammer came down on Eric Smith Tuesday
as the NFL suspended the Jets safety for one
game and fined him $50,000 for his helmet-to-helmet hit on Cardinals wide receiver Anquan Boldin Sunday.

There has been a lot of finger pointing
this season and Cashman received a fair share of
it since the Yanks failed to make the playoffs for the first time in 13 years. A lot of fans and media were calling for his head, but I never really felt that Cashman was only guy to blame.
And that is that. Mike Mussina went six strong, Xavier Nady homered and drove in three and Mariano Rivera notched his 39th save of the season as the Yanks downed the Red Sox 6-2 in Game 1 at Fenway Park. I watched maybe six pitches of this game and it was after Mussina was out. ...

Offensive woes? What offensive woes? Brett Favre tossed
six touchdown passes, Laveranues Coles racked up 105 yards
receiving and hauled in three scores and the defense forced seven turnovers and recorded five sacks as the Jets lambasted the Cardinals 56-35 at the Meadowlands.
A day-night doubleheader to end the season. Ugh. The Yanks and Red Sox were rained out Saturday. OK, fine. Man can't control the weather (yet). But for some reason, Major League Baseball is making the teams make up the game. Why, oh why? It's not like either of ...

Paul Newman , actor, director, philanthropist and humanitarian lost his battle with cancer Friday. He was 83. Newman was in many classic and unforgettable movies including "Cool Hand Luke," "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" and "The Sting," but my all-time favorite is "The Hustler." ...

Don't panic! That should be the mantra for Jet fans after three weeks. Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth. Oh, I'll admit I was feeling a bit low after a pitiful performance in San Diego left the Jets at 1-2 on the year. But I've gathered myself over this past ...

You're welcome, Tampa. Cody Ransom smacked two homers, Brett Gardner drove in four and Bobby Abreu collected his 100th RBI of the season as the Yanks thrashed the Red Sox 19-8 on a miserable, soggy night in Boston. Johnny Damon ripped his 17th dinger of the season and Robinson Cano ...

Leave it to Carl to end a good time. Carl Pavano couldn't get out of the fourth, Vernon Wells homered and drove in four and Roy Halladay went the distance to earn his 20th win of the year as the Blue Jays crushed the Yanks 8-2 in Toronto. Robinson Cano's RBI-single in the third gave the ...

Oh, if only we could start this thing over again. Phil Hughes went eight strong, Xavier Nady drove in two and Bobby Abreu launched a grand slam in the 10th inning as the Yanks bested the Blue Jays 6-2 in Toronto. Juan Miranda picked up his first Major League-hit in the fourth and his first ...

It's official -- there will be no October baseball in Yankee Land this season. Mike Mussina went five solid innings, Jason Giambi mashed his 32nd homer of the season and five relievers closed things out as the Yanks topped the Blue Jays 3-1 in Toronto. Robinson Cano gave the Bombers a 1-0 ...

Brett Favre tossed two picks and looked out
of rhythm again, Thomas Jones finished with 37 yards
rushing and a fumble and Philip Rivers flipped three touchdown passes as the Chargers slammed the Jets 48-29 in San Diego.
Looks like good punters are hard to find. The Jets re-signed Ben Graham after Reggie Hodges was ruled out for tonight's game against the Chargers. The Gotham Green also signed Waylon Prather to the practice squad last week, but decided against putting him against live action. To make ...

It opened a winner and went out a winner. Andy Pettitte did just enough, Johnny Damon and Jose Molina both clubbed homers and Mariano Rivera closed things out as the Yanks swept the Orioles 7-3 in the final game at Yankee Stadium. Jason Giambi added an RBI-single and Robinson contributed ...

Gut-check time. Many around the NFL were ready
to crown the Jets the next Beast of the
AFC East after Tom Brady went down, but last week's loss at home to the Patriots put a real damper on that talk. Now the 1-1 Jets will try and show a national ...
Don't cha know! Alfredo Aceves pitched another dandy, the bullpen continued to put up zeros and Robinson Cano ripped a bases loaded single in the bottom of the ninth as the Yanks blanked the Orioles 1-0 in the Bronx. Pitching was the story in this one -- the Bombers and Birds combined for ...

It's a shame it doesn't matter anymore because it looks like this team is finally hitting its stride. Carl Pavano went a serviceable five innings, Brett Gardner drove in a run and made two sparkling defensive plays and the bullpen's fist of doom -- Phil Coke, Brian Bruney, Damaso Marte, Joba ...

Which team was fighting for the playoffs Thursday night? Mike Mussina was shaky early but finished strong, Derek Jeter picked up two more hits and a ribbie and Bobby Abreu went deep twice and drove in six runs as the Yanks destroyed the White Sox 9-2 at The Stadium. Robinson Cano picked up ...

Good comeback. Phil Hughes labored through four but allowed only one run, Xavier Nady tied things up with an RBI-single in the seventh and later scored the go-ahead run on a wild pitch and Johnny Damon and Alex Rodriguez blasted homers in the eighth as the Yanks clipped the White Sox 5-1 at The ...
