Beloved Yankee Jorge Posada has likely played his last game in pinstripes. They simply can’t afford to block the DH slot with him and his defense has regressed beyond the point where he can play catcher. Sadly, they’ll have to let the great Yankee walk. As hard to swallow as that might be (made a bit easier … Continue reading

99 Yankee Wins Not Enough For A Trip To The ALCS
Dating back to 2001, the Yankees were 0-5 in playoff elimination games on the road. Of course, this streak came to an end in Detroit when the Yankees beat the Tigers 10-1 on Tuesday, but it was all for not, as the team with the best record in the AL lost game 5 at home … Continue reading
Believing in Clemson Football

When the new polls come out in a few hours I expect Clemson to move to … Continue reading
Dear Braves and Red Sox…Sincerely The Mets
After last night’s historic finish to the MLB season, we take some time to put it all in context. For that, I invited an old friend who is a tried and true Mets fan. In 2007, he experienced a collapse not unlike those from Boston and Atlanta so he remembers what it feels like and … Continue reading

Moneyball – I Dive Into The Numbers
Along with watching Clemson down FSU in Death Valley, and jump to 13th in the AP poll, I saw Moneyball in theaters this weekend. I had already read the book and wrote one blog post about the book and another about the theory and style of play as a guest blogger on LenNY’s Yankees. Here are my thoughts … Continue reading

The Boston Red Sox and Their Awesome Inferiority Complex
A resolutely slanted recap of the what Boston was supposed to do, and how funny it is that they are failing In the offseason before the 2009 season, the New York Yankees splurged on three big free agents. They paid an exorbitant amount of money to sign CC Sabathia, Mark Teixeira and AJ Burnett. Of … Continue reading
Randy Edsall: The Passion Maryland Needs
Last night (9/5/11) Miami and their new coach Al Golden visited College Park, MD to face the Terps in a nationally televised Labor Day matchup.
