After a nine long years, the Yankees have decided to lift their ban on beer in the bleachers. I think this might have been what they meant when they said, “Let freedom ring.” According to “Bald Vinny” Milano, a man we should listen to because he is confident enough to incorporate “bald” into his nickname, [...]

It’s official.  The fake competition that we knew wasn’t really happening for center field is over.  Any idea who won? Yes, you can exhale.  It was Gardner.  And apparently the decision is final.  So barring injury or poor performance on a regular basis, Melky will be relegated to fourth outfielder duty. It was a combination [...]

On Friday, Bernie Williams told reporters that he may not be ready to call it a game just yet. My first reaction to this news is a pretty definitive, “Oy.” As someone who loves Bernie, who cares about his well-being, it is important to me that he not play fast and loose with his dignity.  [...]

The word on the street is that The Boss will be making an appearance at the home opener in the new Yankee Stadium on April 16th. Any guesses as to how he’ll be getting there? Sadly, Bob Sheppard will not be in attendance.  I don’t know what this means about his failing health, but we [...]

The latest word from the Yankees’ camp is that Melky’s been put on the chopping block.  Again. However, on Tuesday, Brian Cashman silenced speculation that the Melky-Cameron trade was being reconsidered, telling the New York Post, “Our center fielder is here in camp.” Interesting.  So, if Melky’s being shopped around, and your center fielder is [...]

For those of who have missed that whiny, cloying pathetic sound we have come to know as A-Roid’s voice, we got a little taste of it last night.  Backlog. The YES network aired an interview with Michael Kay recorded earlier this month, in which A-Rod told the world that he had given up on being [...]

I went to yankees.com this morning to try to buy tickets to a game.  I was under the naïve assumption that this would probably be something like a five minute operation.  Having failed to find seats in my any of my desired locations, I punched in “Best Available”–just to see what would happen. Here’s what [...]

Forgive me, Yankee fans.  My love of nationalism has stolen my focus of late.  But with twelve days left until the start of the season, I’m feeling pretty ready to get down to business. The spring got off to a shaky start, for reasons primarily related to A-Roid, and I confess that I was feeling [...]

The party’s over.  Life as we know it can resume.  And I’m sure that those of you who are Korean are glad that I was never able to successfully convince anyone to make last night’s game a competition for the rights to Dokdo. In both an amazing game and a crushing blow to Korean national [...]
