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 [...]

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 [...]

According to an article in today’s New York Post, in the event of an injury to Mariano Rivera, Joba will step in and take his place. Innovative as ever, Yankees beat writer Bryan Hoch is referring to the Yanks new backup plan as the “Yankees ‘Break in case of emergency’ plan.’ Damn.  I seriously can’t [...]

If I could find a way to thoroughly cover the Yanks without ever mentioning A-Roid, I would.  It is my sincerest wish.  However, at this point, sadly, it’s like trying to discuss the earth without ever referring to the ocean.

But as the WBC kicks off and many of the most talented players in the sport begin to disseminate, spring training definitely starts to feel like the secondary story. However, before the real games begin and WBC teams can [...]

The at-bat song. It’s a loaded proposition. It tells the world who you are as a player, as a hitter, as a man. It’s a lot to take on. If you play it right, and you’re good enough, your at-bat song has the potential to be nothing short of epic. Take Paul O’Neill: “Teenage Wasteland.” [...]

Yesterday, Bernie Williams arrived in Tampa to train for the World Baseball Classic, making the Yankees’ camp just a little bit more adorable. Not soon enough for my taste. For a team whose players are drawn to tawdry, salacious storylines like Curt Schilling is drawn to Nazi paraphernalia, there’s something to be said for having [...]

Mark Teixeira doesn’t have much time to keep up with Sports Center.  He’s too busy watching Sesame Street.  Not in creepy way–with his kids. On the subject of steroid use, Teixeira had this to say: “My parents would kill me before any of the media could if I ever got caught doing drugs.” I happen [...]

Is it just me, or does something feel different today?   The grass looks a little greener.  The air smells a little fresher.  The sun’s warm glow feels a little, um, glowier. Yeah, before you go walking outside in a tank top, I didn’t mean it literally.  Only people from states where winter happens are crazy [...]
