Just So Many Summers, Babe
faithandfear.blogharbor.com 7/6/2009 — There're just so many summers, babe. And just so many springs. Don Henley's lyrics came to me early in the 1993 season. Too early. 1993 wasn't, sadly, the last worthless season that we'd have to spend, but damn if it wasn't over fast. The Mets were 12-25 after 37 games, 15 behind the 1st ...

At least it wasn't a no-hitter
subwaysquawkers.blogspot.com 6/28/2009 — Oh for the good old days when the Mets would blow leads late. Even the Luis Castillo game is starting to look good by comparison. How often do the Mets look like they have a chance in the late innings these days? As soon as the Yankees erupted for four runs in the sixth, the game was over. Last ...

Funny Guys
theballclub.blogspot.com 6/28/2009 — The only enjoyment last night's game seems to have provided is a bunch of really ridiculous looking photographs of the Yankees making merry all over our back yard.

Through The Looking Glass
fackyouk.blogspot.com 6/26/2009 — The second leg of the 2009 Subway Series slated to get underway at New Shea later this evening. In preparation for this, I made an advance scouting trip to the park last Friday evening. In many ways New York City's other new taxpayer (and bailout) funded baseball stadium is similar to the one in ...

SEASON ON THE BRINK AS AMAZIN'S HIT ROAD — NY Post: Sports 6/29/2009

YANKS' OFFENSE STAGNATES AFTER QUICK START — NY Post: Sports 6/29/2009

Looking at the Yankees on an Off Day — Bleacher Report - MLB 6/29/2009
The past two weeks have been not so much a Tale of Two Teams as it has a Tale of Two Offenses. Both weeks the Yankees pitched decently—certainly well enough that they could have won nearly every game they played—but in the first week of ...

Rivera adds to legacy with 500th save (AP) — Yahoo! Sports - MLB News 6/29/2009
Mariano Rivera has seen all the histrionics by some closers. It's fine, he said, because it's part of their personalities. Rivera has his own way of celebrating a big save for the Yankees. "I go home," he said. "Simple as that. As quick ...
