David Ortiz has been outspoken the last couple seasons about the Red Sox' need for more power in the lineup, and he was at it again yesterday: “Everybody was looking at me like I was a clown,’’ Ortiz said yesterday
at Fenway Park, dropping an expletive to make his point. “I said we

Tim Lincecum repeated as winner of the Cy Young for the senior circuit , while Zack Grienke took home the honors for the AL. There's no argument from me about the results in either case, but it is bizarre that Lincecum got fewer first-place votes than Adam Wainwright. Anyway, that's two CYs in ...

Baseball is not big here in Indonesia. The national sport is badminton. You also see a lot of young guys playing soccer and futsal. As far as American sports, basketball rules the day, especially among teenagers. High schoolers sport Lebron or Kobe jerseys. There is always a basketball game ...

Chris Jaffe, who writes for the Hardball Times, has a new book coming out this December titled Evaluating Baseball's Managers, 1876-2008. The Hardball Times is running an excerpt from it about Billy Martin. Here's how it begins:
Billy Martin was the most fearless manager in baseball history. ...

The proof is in Buster Olney's recent tweet : NYY are not interested in signing Holliday. They'll talk to Boras to keep other bidders honest, but corner outfield not a priority for them.
Presumably Buster is writing this based on information he received from a source in the Yankee ...

It's been a while since I've found the time to post here -- and let's face it, following baseball after a Yankees World Series win isn't all that fun. Tomorrow, the missus and I will head to the hospital to welcome the arrival of Grace-SF, so I don't anticipate being around much in the near ...

So how do two jewish guys from opposite sides of the baseball fan universe work things out? They eat pork. Lots of it. YF and I (along with both families) headed to Sunset Park this weekend to smooth out the rivalrous tension, and also to fill our bellies. We may disagree about baseball, ...

On a Saturday family field trip out to Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, we made a stop at a local Greek food shop. Clearly, for the moment, Yankees territory. Their cross-town rivals were represented - city pride still exists. And clearly, as you can see after the jump, the Mets are #2. Pun intended.

I have a feeling the Yanks will win the World Series tonite. They are, on paper, the better team, they have the advantage of playing with a DH, and they will be before a home crowd in the Bronx. Mariano Rivera means the Phils are playing with somewhere 21 and 24 outs to the Bomber's full 27. ...

The Daily News gives us 26 Yankee titles, 26 back pages . I enjoyed it very much.

I know one reason: neither team has won four games. But if that's not a good enough reason, Jon Heyman has a few others . 1. The Phillies aren't called the Fightin' Phils for no reason.
And he can see no reasons 'cause there are no reasons. Tell me why I don't like Mondays. Brannock ...

About one in every four runs scored by the Yankees this post season is attributable to Alex Rodriguez' bat.
