Examining the NY-Boston Rivalry, Soriano’s »

I'll start today's post with a question. In light of the Jets' River & Sunset-approved upset victory over the Patriots on Sunday, has the New York sports scene wrested back control of the rivalry with its Boston counterpart?The 2004 Series That Shall Not Be Named was a searing victory for Beantown, a comeback momentous enough that it seemed as [...]

Andy Pettitte’s Probable Departure Shines Light »

If you know where to find the panic button, Yankees fans, feel free to press it now.(Go ahead. Don't be shy. Tilt back the head of that Kevin Maas bust. There it is, in all its resplendent fury. Push it. Good job.)Your team is officially in serious trouble. I know many believed that was already the case when Cliff Lee chose to sign with the [...]

Party Like It’s 1996: Yankees Taking Hard Look »

If you asked me three years ago where Andruw Jones would be in 2011, I would rattle off a thousand different answers before settling on "A Major League baseball field."Literally, 1,000 different answers. Gas station attendant. Universal Studios tour guide. Dave & Buster's skee ball maintenance man. Grifter. Anything but a big-league [...]

Johnny Damon Hoping for a Second Chance With the New »

It seems like yesterday that Johnny Damon was the special guest host for WWE's Monday Night Raw, dressed like a Creed roadie and saying things like, "Hey, John Cena, that's a real home run of an idea."It was actually last Dec. 21, and Damon was one of the more sought-after entities on the free-agent market.

Red Sox-Yankees: The Internet, NESN and What Being a »

Being of Generation Y—loosely defined as the segment of the population who saw Jenny McCarthy's botox-ravaged face on New Year's Eve and wondered where the last 15 years went—I've become quite Internet savvy.That means I can filter out much of what doesn't interest me and gravitate toward content that sits on my Mount Rushmore of [...]

Andy Pettitte Posturing? Looking at The Yankees’ »

The Pearl River Hotel is the type of dusty old Irish pub where you don't wonder when the daytime regulars got to the bar, you wonder if they've ever actually left. Outsiders are met with steely glances of suspicion and the jukebox's only practical use is as a coat hanger.It's not a place you go to meet your future wife or win a fist-pumping [...]

Cashman Passes On Webb As Patience Plan Rolls On For »

The Texas Rangers signed Brandon Webb last week, a move classified by some in the baseball world as a "smart gamble" given the veteran pitcher's Cy Young Award pedigree and outstanding goatee.Still, others regarded the signing as a "stretch" or "risk", or to tie it in with the counterpoint, a "stupid gamble" given Webb (a) hasn't pitched in two [...]

New York Yankees: Is It Time to Worry About Andy »

Andy Pettitte has been saying he's going to retire for longer than he hasn't.It's become an annual event by now. The season ends, the leaves change color and No. 46 says he's going home. He's like the frustrated buddy in your fantasy football league who professes that each season will be his last. In the end, he always comes back. Just like [...]

New York Yankees: Did They Make the Right Move in »

Zack Greinke was traded to the Brewers for a host of minor league prospects on Sunday, and if that doesn't do much for you, don't sweat it. Nobody else seemed to care much either.Viewed through the prism of pure talent, Greinke should have been seen as every bit Lee's equal in terms of desirability this offseason. They're both Cy Young Award [...]

New York Yankees: Mariano Rivera in Place, but Rafael »

As the Derek Jeter contract negotiations degenerated into a very public he-said, she-said battle of egos, Mariano Rivera and his representation quietly went about the business of re-upping with the only team he has ever known. The two sides soon agreed on a two-year, $30 million deal, the news made official via press release. Apparently, an [...]
