The Yankees rookie phenom makes his first Major
League start tonight. Let's see how he stacks up.
It’s all we’ve been talking about for the
past week: Should we trade for Johan Santana? Hells
no! Why would we risk trading one of our big prospects for a guy who has seen a consistent increase in his BA/OBP/SLG against over the past ...
A story from Tuesday, courtesy of my mom.
She witnessed the following incident while putting the stuff
she brought to the game in one of those flimsy terrorist-proof, clear plastic bags. As I was putting food into a clear plastic bag, 3 guys were ...
Scroll past the PED talk in Buster Olney’s
latest blog entry , and you will arrive at
a tidbit about Joba Chamberlain. The Yankees, Olney reports, plan to start the season with Joba in the pen. They just can’t quit him. If all goes well ...
"Did Eric Gagne really blow another save tonight?
Sheesh…"
The three of us here at RAB try
our best to make the site as fun and
informative as possible, and judging by how popular it’s become, it’s safe to say that we’ve done a pretty good job. Usually we take that popularity and use it to ...
Mike A. of River Ave. Blues shares his
opinions on 30 Yankees prospects heading into the 2007
season.
I solemnly swear to utter only good words
about Mike Mussina in this post. After 24 hours
of bashing the man, I need to make it to him. For all the grief I’ve given Mussina today here and here , Mussina deserves recognition and praise for the ...
You say classless, I say hilarous .
Over on his personal blog, RAB favorite Keith
Law has tallied up 48 HOF ballots he’s received
or seen. You can check out the full list over there, but of note is that Goose Gossage is sitting on 90 percent of those ballots. As expected, Donny ...
It’s amazing how these writers - who are
paid gobs of money to cover the team, but
I digress - are so out-of-touch with the team’s fan base. Phil Hughes will be dogged for a long time as the hurler the Yankees didn’t sacrifice to ...
As if getting hit in the wrist by
David Price wasn’t bad enough, Frankie Cervelli had his
wrist broken on a collision at the plate with Elliot Johnson during today’s game. Slated to start the year with Double-A Trenton, Cervelli will be ...
Nothing incites passion in the world of Yankee
blogs these days quite like Phil Hughes. Maybe it’s
the hype; maybe it stems from the Santana trade that probably wasn’t going to happen anyway. But whatever the cause, when Phil Hughes comes up, passions run high.
Most fans felt the story of the Red
Sox shirt embedded in the concrete slab of the
visitor’s clubhouse at the New Stadium was just a laughable “exclusive” by the Post that was a few days late for April’s Fools. Turns out the ...
I’m not kidding. NASA astronaut Garrett Reisman with
throw out the first pitch before Wednesday’s game against
the Red Sox from the International Space Station. The Parsippany native has a Yankee banner, some dirt from the pitcher’s ...
In the game thread last night, Mike noted
that Joba expected to start a throwing program tomorrow.
Since then, the Yanks’ valuable young arm has been overruled by his manager, and the Yanks now expect Joba to begin his throwing on Friday , a ...
Sorry, can’t get the embedded player to work
. As you can see, he’s much better at
guitar than he is at playing the outfield. Not that Derrick Trucks or Warren Haynes are slouches…
I’m no fan of the New Yankee Stadium.
While I understand the economics behind the Yanks’ desire
for a new stadium, I don’t see the problem with Yankee Stadium. I know I’m not alone, but Yankee fans have been ...
Not all Yankee fans are enamoured with the
Squirrel
Today, the Yanks left the Bronx to embark
on the final road trip of the season. As
is tradition, the rookies had to dress up at the veterans’ orders. I have no idea who picked The Wizard of Oz , but Joba Chamberlain (Cowardly Lion) and Ian ...
