Girardi And The Spacetime Continuum
Breaking news from The Bronx: Joe Girardi is apparently living in the Lakehouse. On Monday, Girardi made the following comments in reference to Joba Chamberlain: Do we start him or do we leave him in the bullpen? We have four days to kick it around, and we don’t really need that fifth starter until (July [...]
Fav-ruh — The Tiger Woods Of Football
Well, the All-Star Game is over (it was so frickin’ boring that MVP was awarded to Carl Crawford for a catch), and we all know what that means. Tomorrow, the second half of baseball season begins. What’s more, football season will soon be upon us. Sadly, that signifies that we’re coming to the end of [...]
City Of Angels
The LA Angels of Anaheim. Talk about a team name that’s just oozing with insecurity. A team name that was more or less dreamt up by some marketing department to trick people into joining the Angels fan-base. Now, the ozone layer may be a little thinner out West, but I’m pretty sure that Dodgers fans [...]
Another (Halla)day, Another Dollar
With the recent announcement that the Jays might be open to dealing Roy Halladay, the New York media just can’t seem to stop talking about what seems to me an entirely ridiculous prospect. Bringing him to the Bronx. Some of the recent headlines include “Halladay’s availability presents Yankees with a Challenge,” “Why Not Roy Halladay [...]
Sympathy For The Devil
Readers, I bring you another entry from our resident Dodger fan, Chris Yamaoka Esq. As always, it’s a gem, so I hope you enjoy it. I’m sure you will. Manny’s back, and we couldn’t be happier. That’s how I ended my last Manny-themed post, all of four months ago, back in those heady, innocent, loosey-goosey [...]
Things Fall Apart
Last night, I was making my way north to Connecticut on I-95, and in an effort to stay awake, I was listening to talk radio. (I own that it was, perhaps, a misguided effort.) I was zoning out a bit, but the show’s host caught my attention when he started in on a rant about [...]
Trying A Little Extra
Last year, when the Cincinnati Reds came to New York for a visit for the first time in thirty years, Ken Griffey Jr. was decidedly unenthusiastic, commenting to the press, “My favorite Yankee Stadium memory? It’s leaving Yankee Stadium.” He was subsequently dubbed, “Grumpy Griffey” by the New York Post. (They’re very clever over there.) [...]
People Make Plans
It was May 11th at Citi Field, and Johan Santana had the Braves on the Tomahawk chopping block. The score was tied at 1, and the earned run count for Santana was 0. So it was to everyone’s confusion that Jerry Manuel trotted out to the mound with one on and one out in the [...]
The Hammer Of God
Joe DiMaggio once famously said, “I would like to thank the Good Lord for making me a Yankee.” Decades later, Mariano Rivera took the sentiment a step further when he asserted, “I think the Good Lord is a Yankee.” As the person to bring the Principle of Separation of Church and Sports to the world, [...]
A Win For Wang
Write it down: It’s June 29, and Chien-Ming Wang has finally earned his first win of the season. True, a pitchers success cannot be measured in wins and losses. True also that yesterday was not Wang’s first good outing since his return from the DL. His last two losses can be attributed in part to [...]
