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 [...]
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 [...]
Honesty Is Hardly Ever Heard

I figure that since I am tipping my hat to Upper-deki, I might as well pay tribute to his recently discovered love of America’s favorite 80′s pop rock icon from Long Island. (He has mysteriously changed all of [...]
Everything That’s Two Is One Again

It’s just a cutesy putesy (stupid) way to refer to his decision to take a middle-of-the-road course of action–arthroscopic surgery. It’s less aggressive than his other surgical option but obviously more aggressive than rehab without [...]
Dugout-deki

Having just come off of his second knee surgery in as many winters, Upper-deki will not be taking the field in the Grapefruit League. [...]
Jor-hey-hey
As spring training officially kicks off, there are a few questions burning on the brain of just about every Yankees fan. How will our new big money players fare in the big city? How worried should we be about Mo and his recovery from shoulder surgery? Which sweater will A-Rod wear to his press conference [...]
