Was There Any Doubt That Yankees Would Win 27th World Series?

It’s almost hard to remember back earlier this summer when the Yankees were trailing the Red Sox in the American League East and had dropped the first eight meetings between the two rivals. It wasn’t long before the Bronx Bombers overtook Boston in the division and never looked back.
Fast forward to the fourth of November [...]

Beating to Your Own Bronx Drum

Call it jealousy, envy or whatever word you can conjure up to describe why the Yankees are so beloved by their fans (and themselves) but despised by everyone else with a pulse. Not only has the organization spent money like a shipload of drunken sailors on leave during the worst economic situation in 80 years, [...]

A-Rod’s “Amateur Hour” Included Primo/Test Stack

If even one of the sportswriters present at Alex Rodriguez’s admission/apology press conference today in Tampa had even the slightest bit of knowledge about steroids, more holes in the embattled third baseman’s story would have been brought to light.

Andy Pettitte Lucky to Receive $10m Yankee Offer

Veteran Southpaw Far from his Former Self; Should Be Grateful

Bob Alejo Back with Oakland A’s; Jason Giambi Next?

Will Grunge Look and Muscles Also Make a Return?

LA Ousted in 5 Games in NLCS; Joe’s Moves Questioned

First it was the Mets, then the Brewers and ultimately the Dodgers. The Philadelphia Phillies, who will now have six days off before beginning the World Series on the road, beat out all three, in both the regular and post season.
They earned that right on [...]

Yankees, Rays Should Revisit Barry Bonds Pursuit

Injuries to Surprising First Place Tampa, Bombers’ OF & DH Moves Opens Up Spot for Slugger

When Barry Bonds grabbed the microphone last Saturday night during the Giants’ celebration of their former outfielders, his statement of “I haven’t retired, thank you,” should have been listened to intently as an offer for his services. The dog days [...]

Yankees “Gearing” Up for Stretch Run by Acquiring Accused Steroid User Pudge

I-Rod a Shell of His Former Self; Fills Catching Hole After Posada Injury

Pettitte Losing Focus as Clemens Trial Looms

Inconsistency Plagues Pitcher as Yanks Need Ace

At the start of the 2008 baseball season, Andy Pettitte seemed to be pitching with his mind elsewhere. Although his numbers weren’t all bad, the inconsistency that was rarely a part of his game seemed to be the only thing consistent during April and May and the beginning of [...]
