Thursday, December 13th, 2007The biggest disappointment in today’s Mitchell Report: Andy Pettitte. That notorious creeps Barroid Bonds, Kevin Brown, Gary Sheffield and even Rocket Roger Clemens were fingered is far less surprising (although having the greatest hitter (Bonds) and pitcher (Clemens) of the Steroid Era exposed in the same report is poetic justice). But Pettitte was the aw [...]
Great Day for Baseball*
Friday, November 16th, 2007+ Bonds indicted AND + A-rod’s coming back home AND + Boras has been humbled AND + The Yankees drove up the Sawx price to retain World Series MVP (or snagged him away) AND + The Mets signed … Torre…alba.
Hip Hip Jorge
Tuesday, November 13th, 2007+ Yankees resign Jorge Posada and other Yankee free agent news.
Wednesday’s Sporting Stew
Wednesday, October 31st, 2007+ Congrats to new Yankee manager Joe Girardi. Though not a Yankee lifer, his role in the most recent run of 1990s-era Bronx dominance etched his pinstripes permanently. + But for (grown) kids (like me) whose sports affair with Donnie Baseball began in 1982, Girardi’s hiring at Don Mattingly’s (and Joe Torre’s) expense is bittersweet. [...]
Say it ain’t Joe
Tuesday, October 9th, 2007Notwithstanding the Boss’s bluster on Sunday, here’s to hoping (against hope) the Yankees don’t scapegoat Torre. He doesn’t hit or pitch or play defense. More appropriate blame rests with: + Captain Jeter’s failed clutch. + An ace who failed to play his cards right. + Beelzebub (the “Lord of the Flies”), who sicked his flies [...]
And so ended years of angry denials by one of the world’s most celebrated athletes.
Saturday, October 6th, 2007Barroid’s prequel? She was a liar and a cheat, she told the judge, her eyes never straying from his face. … The owner of three Olympic golds and two bronze medals, Jones came clean Friday and admitted she used steroids. She pleaded guilty to lying to federal investigators when she denied using performance-enhancing drugs, then [...]
From Goat to Gloat
Monday, October 1st, 2007Sports Round-Up + Who’s laughing now? HR: 54; RBI: 156; R: 143; BA: .314; SB: 24; BB: 95; TB: 376; OBP: .422; SLG: .645. HAHA-rod Haters. + JOBA Rules. Enough said. + 94-68. Not bad after 21-29.
Follow the Jeter
Sunday, September 16th, 2007Sports Roundup The Yankees win. The Yankees win. The YAAAAAAAAAANKEES win (and take 2 of 3 at Fenway)! Jeter’s heroics bloodied Shilling’s metaphorical sock. Joba ruled. And look who’s Papi’s papi now. Tiger tames the field (again) to the tune of ten million. Cheat Belichik gets off easy, despite a $500K personal fine, a $250K [...]
I Felt Dirty
Wednesday, August 8th, 2007I turned on ESPN last night hoping to catch 10 minutes of Sports Center before bed, and instead found myself watching their obsessive coverage of Barroid’s pursuit of infamy. The pitch and swing that gave Barroid his * in sports lure invaded my living room — live. It was like watching a thief rewarded for [...]
Monday Miscellany
Monday, August 6th, 2007+ Homicide: Life on the Streets of Baltimore. 190 homicides in 217 days. We have to do something. + Pressures on Newark’s new mayor and political darling Cory Booker to deliver after city’s murder rate spikes again. + Playing dirty politics with age-old Christian divisions. + The Bronx is Burning. Not the show. The Team! [...]
