Today was a pretty good day for Kevin Russo. Then I called him and nearly screwed up the whole thing. Three minutes into our conversation, there was a very brief pause. ”Sorry,” Russo finally said. “Another car almost hit me.”
Danger averted, the conversation ...

It seems an odd bit of news, but FoxSports reported today that they’ve heard two different stories about the Yankees bullpen plans. Some say the Yankees are interested in Mike Gonzalez and Rafael Soriano. Some say the Yankees are content to stay in house.
I have to think both are true. ...

Interesting story here about Bud Selig saying he will attempt to reduce the number of off-days during next year’s postseason – an issue that players, coaches, managers (particularly Mike Scioscia) and fans all seemed to agree got a little out of control during this past month.

The Angels’ Mike Scioscia has been named the American League Manager of the Year. Colorado’s Jim Tracy won the award in the National League.
Good job by Sam picking the winners. And yes I did vote for Dave Miley for Manager of the Year, but that was in the International League.

The last time the Yankees had a lame-duck manager was 2007, when Joe Torre was in the final year of his deal. Torre’s contract was a distraction all year, the Yankees lost (again) in the first round of the playoffs and we all know how the winter went from there.

… by including Sergio Mitre news in a thread about the Cy Young award. I can see how that might have weirded some people out.
For those who asked, the option on Mitre was $1.25 million so the Yankees were just making a fiscal decision in declining. Mitre is arbitration-eligible and, if ...
