Kevin Gregg, An American Hero

Dear Mr. Gregg, Thank you! Thank you for standing up to a man that took steroids and charmed the media into overlooking his transgression. Thank you for standing up for the game of baseball, and calling out a DH who doesn’t have the energy to run out a fly ball after chilling in the dugout … Continue reading →

The Underrated Yankees

When Colon, Chamberlain, and Jeter went down with injuries it felt daunting. Add to that the knowledge that The Yankees had let a Red Sox team that started 2-10 take the AL East lead, and it feels like a lost season. I was ready to start trading for prospects. Then, during Sunday night’s broadcast of … Continue reading →

A Blog That Everyone Yankee Fan Should Be Reading

I started following @LennysYankees on Twitter and eventually started reading his blog. Now it’s one of only two blogs I follow regularly (The other being Defining INSIGHTS).

That’s $25 million per year for six … Continue reading →

First of all, they don’t break any rules and they have resources that they choose to use (how dare they?!). They are … Continue reading →

Red Sox Treat Their Players Like Garbage

Johnny Damon’s decision to veto any trade to the Boston Red Sox further affirms my long held belief, that the Red Sox treat their players like garbage. After Damon’s tremendous contributions to the Red Sox franchise, they refused to give him a reasonable contract. The very next year they gave J.D. Drew a more lucrative contract than they offered to … Continue reading →

Why The Yankees Shouldn’t Sign Cliff Lee

This offseason the Yankees will most likely lose 2/5 of their starting rotation. Javier Vazquez has an expiring contract and is unlikely to be resigned while Pettitte will probably retire. The void will have to be filled somehow, and most Yankee fans want to sign the ace they missed at the trade deadline, Cliff Lee. Lee, will … Continue reading →
