Saturday, December 29th, 2007But the Giants were outclassed by arguably the greatest team in NFL history. Still, for one night at least, Eli Manning played up to the hype of the #1 draft pick, and the team played with heart. Props to Tom Brady (50 TD passes), Randy Moss (23 TD receptions), and, yes, even Spy Gate Bill [...]
No Longer Dandy?
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 [...]
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. [...]
Friday Foto Finish
Friday, October 19th, 2007Torre’s appropriate response to the Yankees’ offer
Tragic End to Torre Era
Friday, October 19th, 2007Treachery. Travesty. Tragedy. On Thursday, the New York Yankees, with Steinbrenner’s health rendering him little more than a figurehead, descended into a far darker and disrespectful place. Under the leadership of president Randy Levine, who commandered the news conference yesterday as if general manager Brian Cashman and Steinbrenner’s two sons, Hank and Hal, didn’t exist, [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Yankees Old Timers Day
Sunday, July 8th, 2007Notwithstanding the current Yankee roster’s old appearance this year, Judah, Willie, Chris and I enjoyed the annual Old Timers Game and festivities yesterday in the Bronx. The current lineup blew a vintage performance by Rocket Clemens and lost 2-1 on a 13th inning error. That makes the Yanks 1-3 in games Judah and I have [...]
