If a team wins the way the Yankees
won on Sunday afternoon over the Rays then you...

As a Yankees diehard, I know a little
something about rivalries being blown way out of proportion....
Every summer, the fine people at Fox and ESPN subject America to a barrage of vignettes of Yankees/Red Sox clashes. It’s usually the same stock footage: Babe Ruth Ted and Joe D ...

Which brings me to another certain controversy…of Teh Internets variety… the reason we’re all gathered here at this moment:
The Deadspin Commenter Fiasco of 2009…
To recap:
Deadspin editor AJ Daulerio made an ominous post; the Commentariat lost its collective sh*t; threats were made; “ninjas” were sent on a rampage; a shadow government was launched; and, I made a little video as a response to the whole deal. (Yes, I did it. ...

This caused some consternation in the comments. The next day, there was a spate of bannings and destarrings, which led to a post keeping the body count over here, which got a link and some brief clarification on Deadspin shortly after.
That, then, led to a Deadspin exodus powered by a few industrious sorts, including this site. ...

Yankees' 2009 Draft Rounds 1 and 2
pinstripealley.com 6/10/2009 — Yesterday felt a little anti-climactic. The first prime-time draft only went 3 rounds, and the Yanks only had 2 picks. But they did make history of their own: for the first time since 2003 ( Eric Duncan and Estee Harris) the Yanks took two position players with their first two ...
A Different Yanks Team From Last Few Years

They had four all of ...
Things to Love About The Way The Yanks Have Been Winning
