Kemp and Lowe for Cano? NO THANKS!

Fri, 25 Jul 2008 04:00:10 +1900

From the New York Post : Dodgers have an interest in Robinson Cano and might be willing to deal Derek Lowe and outfielder Matt Kemp, but the Yankees aren't inclined to part with the red-hot second baseman unless there is a front-of-the-rotation-type starter coming to The Bronx. Lowe, who has the stomach for big games and has AL East experience with the Red Sox, doesn't fit that bill. Kemp, ...

Does power fade for the rest of the season? -- South Florida Sun

Fri, 18 Jul 2008 00:14:25 +1900

Based on Ramirez's initial reaction to the question, the theory that Derby participation is detrimental to hitting health was not lost on him. He didn't need reminding how three years ago Bobby Abreu had an epic Derby performance at Detroit's Comerica Park after an 18-homer first half. Then with the Phillies , Abreu went deep just six times after the break. "It will wear the player out," ...

Tue, 22 Jul 2008 00:22:55 +1900

Writing about Josh Hamilton ’s 28-HR, first-round performance in the 2008 MLB Home Run Derby would do him a disservice. So, in respect for Hamilton, here is video footage of his final four record-breaking home runs. Bobby Abreu had the previous record with 24 first-round home runs.

Debunking The Derby

Mon, 21 Jul 2008 17:39:07 +1900

The second half of the baseball season is underway, and memories of All-Star Weekend are still quasi-fresh in our minds. The game itself was great, but vastly overshadowing it was the Home Run Derby and more notably, the show that Josh Hamilton put on. Hamilton belted a record 28 homers in one round - although he lost in the finals to Justin Morneau , it was still probably the greatest ...

Padraig Keeps the Claret Jug for Another Year

A back nine that will be remembered as one of the most solid finishes ever in windy conditions was what Padraig Harrington needed to win his second consecutive Open Championship. Out in three-over 37, Harrington fought off a charging Ian Poulter and a struggling Greg Norman to claim his second major championship and put his name alongside the likes of Old Tom Morris , Bobby Jones , Peter ...

Alex Rodriguez did his best Derek Jeter impersonation Sunday with a flip play to help the Yankees beat the Oakland A's. Of course, Jeter's came in a playoff game while A-Rod helped seal an otherwise routine July triumph.

Most of us, if put in Bobby Murcer's place, would have curled up in the fetal position and waited for the inevitable. Not Bobby. He hitched up his pinstripes and vowed to make every minute he had left count.

Home Run Derby 2008: Josh Hamilton hits a record 28 Home Runs

Tue, 15 Jul 2008 06:17:37 +1900

Tonight I’m posting this video about the tattoo sportin’ Josh Hamilton from the Texas Rangers who pretty much stole the show. Even though he was the home run derby runner up, he broke the record for the most home runs in a single round by belting out 28 home runs. Bobby Abreu had the previous record of 24 that he hit in 2005.

Josh Hamilton's awesomeness knows no bounds. The Texas Rangers center fielder's impressive, 28-bomb first-round performance in the Home Run Derby at Yankee Stadium Monday night shattered the previous record of 24 set by Bobby Abreu in 2005. He nailed a few more going into the final round against Minnesota Twins slugger Justin Morneau, who hit 8 in the first and 9 in the Semis.

RIP Bobby Murcer

Tue, 15 Jul 2008 14:15:25 +1900

Bobby Murcer died today at the age of 62. This is a truly sad day for the Yankees and their fans. He was a great Yankee and an even better man. I grew up listening to Murcer call Yankees game on WPIX, and later on MSG and YES. I wish I had been able to see him play. RIP Bobby, you will be sorely missed, my thoughts and prayers go out to his family. Bobby Murcer

Get Abreu Out of the Three-Hole

Sat, 12 Jul 2008 19:40:18 +1900

I'm listening to Max Kellerman right now and he's been talking about this, and he has a good point. Steve Lombardi of WasWatching.com wrote about it earlier this week as well. Why do the Yankees continue to bat someone with a who is hitting .275/.346/.439 third? You know, the spot where you're supposed to have your best hitter? In June and July he's hitting just .239 with 3 HR, and 23 RBI. ...
