Battle Lines Being Drawn
Last night, Mets fans gathered outside of the SNY studios to stage a “Bring Manny to Queens” rally. The turnout was small, but the message was clear: Some people just have way too much time on their hands. Don’t get me wrong; I believe in protest as a valuable tool to affect social change. I [...]
Boras Being Boras
In today’s LA Times, the Creature from the Black Lagoon (aka Scott Boras) was quoted as saying this about the Manny dilemma, “I can’t put a timetable on this, but I know that spring training is a long time away,” Um, I hate to be that jerk who breaks the bad news, but it’s actually [...]
No Lie Worse Than A Bald-Faced Lie
In case we were all getting bored while we waited for pitchers and catchers to report, here’s a little bit of good news: More steroids intrigue. Awesome. Am I the only one who misses the good old days when the financial scandals happened on quiz shows, the press knew better than to publicize the tawdry [...]
Pettitte: Driving A Hard Bargain
After months of fruitless negotiations, Andy Pettitte and the Yankees have finally come to an agreement. And I think we’ve all relearned an important lesson: When the Yanks brass make you an offer and say, “Take it or leave it,” they mean it. And if you’re a thirty-six-year old pitcher, coming off of a mediocre [...]
Et Tu, Torre?
According to recent reports, Joe Torre has decided to reveal more than just the seedy underbelly of the Yankees in his new tell-all book “The Yankee Years.” He reveals that beneath the veneer of his Austenian perfection lies a man just as willing to sink to the depths of human depravity as the rest of [...]
It’s All Greek To Me
Well it appears Stephon Marbury may have finally found a place to rest his weary (and by weary, I, of course, mean crazy) head. And that place is Greece. Yeah, as in that dope country on the Mediterranean coast. Who knew all you had to do to get shipped off to that place was act [...]
Integrity Shmintegrity
In yesterday’s New York Times, Tony La Russa made what I thought was an interesting comment about Mark McGwire’s integrity. He said that he had it. La Russa cited, as an example, the fact that McGwire retired with two years and $30 million left on his contract—without asking for a buyout—because he didn’t think he [...]
Another One (Manning/New York Sports Franchise) Bites The Dust
One of the callers on today’s Mike Francesa Show was able to provide me with some interesting insight into Sunday’s somewhat catastrophic Giants game. He said that the fundamental difference between last year and this year was that last year the Giants were hunters, and the other teams were their prey. That was the sum [...]
The Dawn Of A New Eira
I know it’s been a while, and I’m sorry. But let me assure you that the theoretical move to SNY.tv is happening within the month-ish, at which point I will be updating my situation multiple times daily. But in the meantime, while you may not be able to count on regular updates at YSCC, it’s [...]
