Free agency filing as begun, and so have extension signings and options (Manny Ramirez decided to come back to the Dodgers, and the Phillies brought Cliff Lee back).

Brian Cashman’s most conspicuous absence was when he was not present to accept the American League Championship, and in truth he made his first postseason appearance as an afterthought on-field for the World Series trophy, although he did not speak. Brian Cashman was present during the City Hall Key to the City ceremony and...

We’ve seen all of the different versions of A.J. Burnett this postseason: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. It’s unfortunate that A.J. Burnett wants to be treated like an ace with $16 million salary and his Jose Molina demands, because he’s no postseason hero. He got mugged in Philly last night. 2 innings,...

CC Sabathia was better than Joe Blanton, and the New York Yankees were holding on to a precarious 4-3 lead in Citizens Bank Park in the 8th inning, when “electric” Joba Chamberlain served up the game-tying HR to the weak-link Pedro Feliz. However, the Yanks did what they have done all season long. Johnny Damon...

New York Yankees Cool Base Gamer Jacket New York Yankees Cool Base Gamer Jacket I wasn’t worried when the score was 3-0 Phillies after two innings because Citizens Bank Park is a hitter’s field and the game was far from over. In some warped way I actually liked the fact that the Yankees were in...

With all of the hate and frustration that umpires get from fans, players, and the MEDIA in 2009, let’s step into the time machine to 1909, where journeyman Dave Altizer was a victim of a joke by his third base coach (Nick Altrock), opposing players, AND the homeplate umpire. After you read this story (as...

Pedro Martinez and A.J. Burnett had a classic pitching duel at Yankee Stadium for the World Series Game 2. A.J. Burnett was focused even though he had a few wild pitched and went 7 innings, 4 hits, 1 run, 2 walks, and 9 strikeouts. Pedro Martinez was great for 6 innings with his offspeed...

Although CC Sabathia didn’t pitch like an unhittbale ace, his line was 2 runs in 7 innings, which is excellent and normally wins ballgames. CC Sabathia wasn’t “as sharp” as his usual “Super Mario touches the star self”. His close friend Cliff Lee, however, was invulnerable, and was even cocky on the mound with...

Joe Girardi made a couple of moves to optimize the 2009 Yankees World Series roster: RHP Brian Bruney replaces third string catcher Francisco Cervelli and pinch hitter Eric Hinske replaces pinch runner Freddy Guzman. These moves make sense: Francisco Cervelli and Freddy Guzman were not utilized in the first two rounds, and Hinske is...

Okay, first of all I support the concept of forgiveness and don’t believe in steroid witchunts. I believe Mark McGwire has Hall of Fame statistics, but it also pains me that he broke Roger Maris’ 61 HR record. The big news was that Cardinals manager Tony LaRussa hired Mark McGwire as the 2010 St...

A.J. Burnett and Joe Girardi apologists can defend them all day but the bottom line is that A.J. Burnett’s pitching line was: 6 innings and 6 runs (ERA of 9.00). A.J. sucked.
