Is it just me, or is it a whole lot of fun to compare the Yankees and Red Sox organizations? On the one hand, an enlightened despotism under Theo, the boy-king, and on the other, a treacherous, backbiting cabal ruled by the madness of King George?

More rest planned for A-Rod
riveraveblues.com 6/22/2009 — The more I think about this weekend’s A-Rod injury flap, the more I wonder how the Yankees could get this one so wrong. Just two months removed from a major labrum procedure, Joe Girardi penciled A-Rod into the lineup for 38 straight games. He ...

A "Miracle" for A-Rod? Not quite
nydailynews.com 6/24/2009 — Before Tuesday’s game, Alex Rodriguez was engrossed in the movie “ Miracle ,” the story of the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team. At first, I didn’t think much of it. An athlete watching a sports movie is hardly a big deal. I even ...
Nine Innings with YanksGoYard
yanksgoyard.com 6/24/2009 — 1. If George Steinbrenner were still alive, he would be handing out pink slips like Principal Vernon handed out Saturday detentions in “The Breakfast Club”.

Well it looks as if the Yankees may have finally found their bats…again. The past two nights have been a sincere joy to watch (sans Pettitte last night), and I feel that the confidence may be building like the over zealous arrogance of first place Red Sox fans. It has seemed like a ...

The Yankees are Slumping
yanksgoyard.com 6/22/2009 — I feel the same way, A-Rod. Of course it's still all your fault.
This is not how it was supposed to go. The Yankees had a tough stretch of games against the Red Sox and Mets, but were rewarded with back to back series against bad NL teams. The Nationals have a chance to set the all time ...
