Prospects And Notspects
I was at the gym last night watching the games. (For the record, if the gym is your thing, I highly recommend this as a game-time activity. Most health clubs have TVs in the dozens. Almost invariably, most, if not all, major sporting events on any given evening are on at least one of the [...]
Win, Obviously
Johnny Damon has a number of skills. For one, he is exceptionally adept when it comes to hitting dingers to the short porch in right field at the new Stadium. He is really good at making seamless transitions in disparate hairstyles. But, perhaps, above all else. Damon is a man who knows how to state [...]
Everything That’s Two Is One Again
Things are getting all kinds of experimental down in Tampa; Girardi has been toying with the idea of swapping Jeter and Damon’s spots in the lineup. And it’s a move that I fully support. It started as a happy accident. Damon got moved back to two to give Posada more at-bats while he was getting [...]
A-Roid: Shootin’ From The Hip
As you have probably heard by now, Frost Tip has a hip injury that is threatening to keep him from the Classic. I’m no doctor, but if I had to guess, I’d say that the injury was probably the result of overuse-if there’s one thing that’s sure to cause a strain on the hip, it’s [...]
Murder > Fraud > Steroids?
This week, Johnny Damon taught us all a valuable lesson about moral relativism when he told us that murder is worse than steroids. A McCarverism if ever I heard one. But here’s my question: Having just fallen victim to the latest in a series of Ponzi schemes uncovered since the whole Bernie Madoff situation, where [...]
Dugout-deki
We’re nearing the end of an era. No, not the Steroid Era. This is an inarguably better era marked by integrity, a big bat and a rarely discussed love of karaoke. 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. [...]
Jeter Gives Them What They Want
At a certain point, there’s just no denying the obvious: Derek Jeter doesn’t like Alex Rodriguez. He doesn’t like his attitude on the field, he doesn’t like the way he conducts himself off the field and, at the moment, he definitely doesn’t like that A-Roid has forced him to spend the first week of spring training [...]
The Dumb Leading The Dumb
Murder is worse than steroids. No, believe it or not, Tim McCarver was not the one to bring that particular truth bomb to the world. Johnny Damon was. Yesterday, in that display of Yankee support we’ve been hearing so much about, Damon spoke out in A-Roid’s defense, saying, “Yeah he did some bad things. He [...]
