One of the most prominent go-to complaints about
the New York Yankees is that they “buy their
championships,” including this most recent one. It’s a convenient thing to believe. They have a high payroll, and they are seen as the hegemon of the baseball landscape. However, ...

Whenever the Red Sox would make a move,
he’d do one of two things, or both: 1)Ride
their front office’s collective jock, and, 2)Start running his mouth about how it puts pressure on the Yankees. Now the Yankees are the champs and Phillips is in rehab for going hoggin’. ...

I have grown to tolerate Mike Francesa. Perhaps
it is I’m so used to hearing him bloviate
about the Yankees and other teams and sports. Well, actually it’s probably more likely that I only have to see/hear him when I’m visiting my folks back in New York, so he’s not ...

I haven’t dropped some links on your heads
for a while. Since I have a mandatory day
off (thanks Gub’ment!,) I feel like sharing some mandatory early Hot Stove links with you. River Ave Blues drops some knowledge as to how to survive Hot Stove Season. (I don’t know, ...

There’s been some chatter lately about the Yankees
interest in John Lackey. He’s a big game pitcher,
for sure, but my concerns are twofold: He has had a spotty injury record as of late, and; The Red Sox have lit him up in the past. Tagged: Hot Stove, John ...

I just want to establish this right now.
I am not a big Matt Holliday fan. A
lot of his numbers seem inflated from playing at Colorado and backing up Pujols. Would he be a good replacement for Damon in left, should the Yankees go another route? Yes. But the type of money his agent Scott Boras ...

#27. It feels good. The last title the
Yanks won was in 2000, and I’m dating myself,
but I was a senior in college. I appreciated it because it was against the Mets, but I can’t say I wasn’t spoiled by the 96, 98, and 99 titles that preceded it. To this day I still call them ...

Game 5 was a big letdown; however, I
choose to accentuate the positive. 1. The Phils are
the defending champs, which some seem to discount, and the Yankees showed their toughness by fighting back and almost coming back to tie the game. One hopes that will carry on to the next game. 2. ...

Maybe it was because MLB was trying to
avoid a beanball war on the big stage, but
what was up with not allowing the Yankees at least one free shot after the A-Rod plunking? And Tim McCarver, just because you think Joe Blanton & Co. weren’t throwing at Rodriguez because of the ...

What an ALCS for the Yanks. There was
some good, some bad, some ridiculous, but in the
end they finally got the Rally Monkey off their back. ‘Tis about freakin’ time. However, let’s discuss the most important thing about the Yankees win and subsequent postgame celebration: ...

Joe Girardi has been embarrassing himself regularly. Game
5 was off the charts. I sat on the
BoltBus, refreshing pitch after pitch. Sending AJ out after the rally? Really? Are you serious? Joe Girardi: You are officially a moron. Even if we win Game 6, you are a moron. If we win the Series, ...
