At the moment, there are a lot of things going on that I could talk about. A.J. Burnett returning to his old hometown, where he was met by both a crushing defeat and a chorus of boos.  Upper-deki leaving the game after just one at-bat with a strained hamstring. Derek Jeter sitting out last night’s [...]

It’s probably a little too soon for an, “I told you so.” But, since there are few things in life I enjoy saying more than, “I told you so,” I’m going to go ahead and say, “I told you so.” So, here it is: I told you so. Since I tend to “I told you [...]

My first thought of the morning was that it was just a dream.   It seemed to me much more plausible than the possibility that we had actually gotten swept by the Chowdas. In our very first series of the season.  That we had not only gotten swept but that we had blown a six run [...]

Forgive my delay.  I had some emotional recovering to do after that catastrophe everyone keeps referring to as a ballgame on Thursday. Saturday, didn’t help much.  Yesterday helped ease the blow.  A little. But, yes, disappointing though it was, Thursday was the official home opener nonetheless.  And exclusive coverage I have promised, so exclusive coverage [...]

So we didn’t sweep the Royals.  Which is fine.  Two out of three at someone else’s ball park ain’t bad. Except we should have swept the Royals. Despite a pretty humiliating week in the limelight, Joba pitched a great game.  Four hits, one earned run. And, just like old times, the bullpen blew the game. [...]

We may have thought that Joba had hit rock bottom with his DUI when, a couple days back, the smoking gun released video footage of his field sobriety test.  You know, the video footage where he insults New Yorkers and tells a police officer that Yogi Berra is as tall as the front of a [...]

Don’t ever say that that professional athletes have it easy. When Joba Chamberlain finally had his day in court for drunk driving charges, he was forced to suffer all the same consequences as any other old Joe Schmoe Nebraskan.  He lost his license for sixty days, and we all know how hard it can be [...]

A couple weeks ago, the New York Post ran a story about the budding relationship between A.J. Burnett and Chien-Ming Wang.  A.J. chides Wang that he should really consider getting a tattoo.  (AJ, a man’s man, has several.)  Wang blushes, giggles, and says he could never–his mom would just kill him. But, theirs is a [...]

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.  [...]
