As much as I hate to dedicate an entire blog post to picking on the Red Sox archenemy, I’m going to because The Yankees are not just a team that is in some disarray, but they’re an organization that appears to be totally screwed up from top to bottom. On the field Their catcher just [...]
Four hours, 21 minutes. Eleven innings. Just another typical battle between the Red Sox and Yankees. There’s 17 more of these to go this year? To be honest, it will be hard for another 2009 game between these teams to be better than last night’s game. In fact, we’re only at game 16, but there [...]
September 15, 2008 – 2:14 pm Reading this morning how Yankees manager Joe Girardi pulled 2B Robinson Cano for not hustling in the fourth inning of Sunday’s game. Perfectly encapsualted with the New York Post headline “Cano Doesn’t Get Meaning of Hustle.” There’s no way to think about this as the latest contrast in the ongoing Hatfield & McCoys rivalry that [...]

“These were the happy days, the salad days as they say…” H. I. McDunnough. “We need a Beckett, we don’t have one, and he’s the one that can do it.” Steinbrenner said. This quote, the worry about the “cursed jersey”, I even heard Yankees fans chanting “Boston Sucks” during one of the games in NY [...]
I meant to get this out at the end of last week, when the Yankees and Red Sox played their first series of the season. But it didn’t happen. But with a game Wednesday night, it makes sense to take some time and think about all the fantastic moments this rivalry has seen. Here’s 5 [...]
This is great. This is the kind of thing that used to happen to us. Not anymore. The great thing about this whole Ortiz shirt being buried under the new Yankee stadium thing is that spending all this time and money (after denying it ever happened) just shows the world the Yankees are no longer [...]
My version of JJ’s first post: A few years back, before we got the monkey off our backs, a few of my friends and I were at Buffs Pub for game 6 of the ’04 Yanks/Sox series. We had tickets for game 7 purchased before the playoffs began with the anticipation it might come down [...]
March 27, 2008 – 11:25 pm WTF? A sketch? Seriously? This just looks so odd. Could they not find a wedding photographer? Did they run by the police station and ask a sketch artist to come instead? From http://www.newsday.com/sports/baseball/yankees/ny-spmatsui0328,0,730431.story
