Halladay, Greater Than Yanks

Click for full story. Down three runs in the top of the first to the Jays with Roy Halladay on the mound? Yeah, I don't blame you if you turned the TV off at that point and enjoyed your Labor Day weekend. I wish...

Yup, last three of the season....

Same Old, Same Old

Click for full story. The good ship momentum lasted a whopping two days for the Bombers. On Sunday afternoon, they were back to their old ways, finding new and exciting ways to cough up games. Robbie Cano's error let the Jays back in it,...

Yanks Finally Best Burnett

Click for full story. They didn't exactly solve A.J. Burnett, he still threw a complete game and struck out 8, but they did find a way to scratch across 2 runs, and it turns out that's all they'd need.The Carl Pavano push for a...

The Twins are in the middle of a monster road trip, which is a good thing. They're playing a bunch of horrible teams, though, which is a bad thing. From the get go, I thought...

The Preseason Is Over

Click for full story. The backups, led by Kevin Kolb, built up a lead in the first half, but the third and fourth strings couldn't make it stand up after the half. The preseason ends with a 27-20 whimper.Hank Baskett and Tony Hunt were...

Hunt played decent. Nothing spectacular. But no one else in the fullback role really shined either. He IS the teams fullback though...as the others were cut. Is he the best PURE fullback...probably not. But he...

I'm Not Falling For It!

Click for full story. Ha, ha. You Yankees are so funny sometimes. You blow two must-win games, then actually play like you care once the season is already over. Well, you won't fool me this time.Sure, it was a great game to watch. Wait,...

Cross Your Fingers

Click for full story. So there's a nasty rumor making the rounds that Andy Reid may just play his starters in tonight's preseason finale against the J-E-T-S, Favre, Favre, Favre. I'm of two minds on the issue. First of all, I think it's B.S....

He played it smart, thankfully. Got through the game without any major injuries, now 10 days to prepare for St. Lou....

Cue The Fat Lady

Click for full story. It's over folks. If you don't believe me, just ask the Skipper who said, "We have to win 2 out of 3 in this series," before the series started. A seven-game deficit is just too much to overcome. If the...
Latest comment: from Brian
I said this in a long post before, but in a nutshell, if the Yanks were healthy a monkey should be able to manage them to a division title. The injuries they've suffered (which really...

One Last Chance?

Click for full story. It was a long night at the Stadium, and sadly, probably my last.The Yanks lost 7-3 to the worst Red Sox lineup I've seen in the past 13 years. After Jason Bay, their lineup consisted of Jed Lowrie, Coco Crisp,...

Hold On A Minute, Tom Moore

Click for full story. Every morning I get an e-mail from Google which basically rounds up the Sixers scuttlebutt from around the Internet. This morning a headline jumped out at me because it was something we touched upon after the conference call with Ed...
Latest comment: from Brian
It's not really Iguodala's ability to play the two that's in question right now, it's whether Thad is ready to start at the three or not. Personally, I don't think it's going to be an...

Yanks/Sox, The Final Tango At The Stadium

Click for full story. As I'm sure you all know, the Boston Red Sox will make their final appearance at Yankee Stadium in a three game series starting tomorrow night. I could go on and on about the history of this storied rivalry, I...

Win Three, Gain One

Click for full story. The Yanks finished off their sweep of the Orange Birds today in less-than spectacular fashion. One day after the pen had to work 4 innings in relief of Pavano, Rasner couldn't get out of the fourth inning. Somehow, though, they...

Yanks Gain Ground

Click for full story. Carl Pavano is apparently the toast of the town after allowing 10 base runners in 5 innings of work. I guess a 5.40 ERA is reason to celebrate this waste of oxygen. To be fair, Pavano probably would've only given...

Incredible that Pavano didn't manage to injure himself yet again. ...
