Atmosphere at Yankee Stadium Must Change »
The Yankees opened up their new palace last year. There was something lacking at their new stadium. Sure, the food over there is awesome. No one can escape watching that enormous jumbotron at the stadium. With that said, something did not add up. We saw many empty seats in the field level. It was detectable watching no one behind home plate. Fans [...]
New York Yankees Should Explain Why Dave Eiland Lost »
Who said the Yankees change how they operate now that George Steinbrenner died? Sure the manager and the general manager gets to stay despite falling short of winning a championship, but it doesn't mean any other people are safe. Yankees pitching coach Dave Eiland found out the hard way today. He was fired for personal reasons. Count this fan for [...]
Joe Girardi Has Struck Out: Not a Crazy Idea To Make »
A reader selected a Yankee to either go away or to stay in the New York Daily News poll. He loves to oust guys than keep guys. He ousted the usual suspects like Joba Chamberlain, Phil Hughes, Javier Vazquez and Nick Johnson. He ousted one guy that will make people react. That guy is Yankees manager Joe Girardi. Yes, it's time for Girardi to go. A [...]
New York Yankees: No Way Alex Rodriguez’s »
Alex Rodriguez's postseason heroics from last October are a distant memory. That's life in New York. This is about what a player has done for the fans lately. Last year's success means nothing. Rodriguez found out the hard way when a lunatic attempted to kill him in Game 3. Fans grew frustrated with his anemic offense in the ALCS, and that's why [...]
New York Yankees Embarrassed in ALCS »
The New York Post said it nicely in today's paper. In the front page of the newspaper, the headline was "$210 Million Bust." The paper referred $210 million as the payroll of this Yankee team, but in reality, their payroll is $236 million. For the money the Steinbrenner family doled out this year, they deserved better than a feeble [...]
Fan Intervention Must Stop »
Tuesday night at Yankee Stadium, a fan interfered with Rangers outfielder Nelson Cruz, who was chasing down a fly ball. Cruz tried to catch the ball, but the fan got in the way and it turned into a home run, giving the Yankees a 1-0 lead. The very same night at Xcel Energy Center, a Wild fan made a remark to Canucks enforcer Dan Rypien, [...]
Yankees Have Gotten Nothing out of Teixeira »
When the Yankees signed Mark Teixeira couple of years ago in the offseason, they thought they were going to get a guy who could be Mr. October. They thought they would have a leader. But they've gotten nothing so far out of their petulant star. His injury served as a symbol of what has gone wrong for him in October. The only good thing Teixeira [...]
Michael Kay Keeps Exposing Himself As an Idiot »
Yankee bobo Michael Kay was at it all weekend long. He mentioned that Cliff Lee is cheating with that resin cap, and then he talked about how it was all over for the Rangers after the Yankees won in Game 1. This is the type of analysis we get from a play-by-play man and talk-show radio host in town. Is it any wonder why Kay gets ripped often by [...]
New York Yankees’ New Best Friend: The Umpires »
Lisa Swan and Jon Lewin write a blog called Subway Squwakers. Swan writes about the Yankees. This writer heard of Swan from reading her work at DailyNews.com couple of years ago. He first read her work when she wrote so many insane entries about her hatred towards Joe Torre as a person and as a manager. He decided to befriend her on Facebook this [...]
Yankees Better Off With Mattingly Than Girardi »
If Joe Girardi decides he had enough of the Yankees experience and goes to the Cubs, the Yankees can forget about Don Mattingly managing them. The Dodgers hired Mattingly as their new manager after Joe Torre announced he won't return as the Dodger manager next year. This is too bad. The Yankees need a manager who appreciates the game. They need a [...]
