How the 2009 Yankees remind me of a "Conan the Barbarian" line
— subwaysquawkers.blogspot.com — I've been trying to be a good sport about the Yankees winning the World Series, focusing more on my team winning, rather than the fact that Yankee-haters are so miserable right now. But I have to admit that there is a little (Squawker Jon would say more than a little!) "sports hate" in me, as ... (more) How the 2009 Yankees remind me of a "Conan the ...

Subway Squawkers have a night out - at a Red Sox bar!
— subwaysquawkers.blogspot.com — Squawker Jon and I were out and about in the big city last night.

He's also a Red Sox fan who runs a ... (more) Subway Squawkers have a night out - at a Red Sox bar!

Tom Seaver turns 65
— subwaysquawkers.blogspot.com — Mets pitcher Tom Seaver - aka The Franchise - turned 65 yesterday. I wrote a piece on the Faster Times about him. Although I was too young to remember Seaver's greatest moments as a Met, I do remember what a big deal it was in New York when he got traded. My brothers even wrote a sardonic banner ...

Joe Torre compares George Steinbrenner to his abusive father
— subwaysquawkers.blogspot.com — Joe Torre may be telling the media how happy he is that the Yankees won the World Series, but he bashed George Steinbrenner - again - in the Los Angeles Times, comparing The Boss to Torre's abusive father. I thought he went way too far with this. Check out my Faster Times piece on it. While ... (more) Joe Torre compares George Steinbrenner to his abusive father

Scandal! A Red Sox fan is in the same movie as Derek Jeter
— subwaysquawkers.blogspot.com — There's been a whole-to do today about how Derek Jeter is playing a (not-very-convincing-looking) homeless man in a new movie called "The Other Guys." I wrote a Faster Times piece on it. But the best part of the story came after I posted my article on Facebook. Turns out that my fellow Facebook ... (more) Scandal!

Remembering Veterans' Day
— subwaysquawkers.blogspot.com — As some of you may remember, my Yankee fan brother is serving our country in Iraq right now, for his third tour over there. He followed the Yankees' championship run, of course, over there. During his first time in Iraq, the Yankees lost to the Red Sox in the 2004 ALCS. Needless to say, this ...

Yankees' ten most pivotal postseason performers - and two Gold Glove winners
— subwaysquawkers.blogspot.com — Here's my monthly piece for BaseballReflections.com about the Yankees. The theme? Which 10 players were the most important for the Yankees in the playoffs. In other news, I don't get why some are bent out of shape over Derek Jeter and Mark Teixeira getting Gold Gloves. The awards seem pretty ...

Still basking in afterglow of WS win
— subwaysquawkers.blogspot.com — I was at the parade yesterday. What a wonderful day, albeit one jam-packed with people. Fortunately, I stayed in the city to have lunch with Squawker Jon, so I missed the whole to-do with the jam-packed ferry terminal. I wrote something for The Faster Times about my World Series winners and ... (more) Still basking in afterglow of WS win

Congratulations, Yankee fans
— subwaysquawkers.blogspot.com — As I posted on Squawker Lisa's Facebook page last night, I want to congratulate her and all of our Yankee fan readers on championship #27. The better team won, and, as I also wrote on Facebook, at least Shane Victorino made the final out. My side hasn't won very much lately, but I did beat Lisa ... (more) Congratulations, Yankee fans

Yankees win No. 27 - time to stand up and cheer!
— subwaysquawkers.blogspot.com — Maybe I'll finally get to see a Yankee ticker tape parade again. Let me explain. I was born and raised in New Jersey, and when the Yankees won it all in 1978, my father took my sister and me out of school that day to go see the ticker tape parade in person. Sister Claire, my Catholic school's ... (more) Yankees win No. 27 - time to stand up and cheer!

A few thoughts while getting ready for Game 6
— subwaysquawkers.blogspot.com — * Pedro Martinez may be the enemy, but I do think he's a fascinating guy. Read my Faster Times piece , which talks about why he's threatening - again - to strip to prove himself. * And count me as against any "Chase Utley for MVP" boomlet. I don't think anybody deserves that award if his team ... (more) A few thoughts while getting ready for Game 6

Starting Andy Pettitte on three days' rest is risky
— subwaysquawkers.blogspot.com — (from Squawker Jon) Is Joe Girardi making a mistake by going with a three-man rotation? I think he is. Game 5 is hindsight now, but going into Game 6, I think the Yankees would be better off having used Chad Gaudin in Game 5 and having A.J. Burnett available on full rest for Game 6. I wrote ...

Game 5: Burnett spits the bit; Captain Clutch and Teix don't come through
— subwaysquawkers.blogspot.com — As I wrote earlier, I really didn't expect the Yankees to win tonight. I just didn't see the Phillies going out with a fight. I also expected Cliff Lee to be great. He wasn't but unfortunately, the bad A.J. Burnett was back. Was it because of the three days rest? Perhaps. But sometimes, A.J. can ...
