Just saw this on East Windup Chronicle. It’s pretty suave: The character is his name.

Today’s Pitching Lines
Today’s game wasn’t televised so I have no astute observations about how anyone looked outside of the pitching lines: Chien-Ming Wang – 2.0IP, 2H, 0R, 0HR, 0BB, 0K, 2GO, 4AO I really do not like that GO: AO ratio, but I’m not going to worry about it yet. Brett Tomko – 2.0IP, 1H, 1R, 1HR, [...]
Yankees vs Team USA – Spring Training Exhibition
Today’s matchup was interesting, because it gave the pitchers for the Yankees some looks at real upper level big league talent. Some of them fared better than others (which makes sense, as a few of them spent the whole year at AA). Phil Hughes – 2.2IP, 3H, 2R, 0BB, 2K, 0HR, 3AO, 3GO A good [...]
New York Sports Media Quote of the Day – March 3rd, 2009
I’ve slacked off on this but today I absolutely cannot ignore this: Minutes before the Dominican Republic team was about to take the field for practice, A-Rod’s former wife, Cynthia, pulled up in a gray Mercedes SUV with their two daughters and a female friend of Cynthia’s. When Rodriguez emerged from the clubhouse alone, in [...]
Pitching Lines From March 4th (Yankees at Braves)
Another Yankees game not on TV, which is too bad as I’ve yet to see Brackman or Melancon and would like to get a look at both. Major Leaguers regulars starting for the Yankees were Johnny Damon, Xavier Nady and Jose Molina and for the Braves it was Kelly Johnson, Yunel Escobar, Casey Kotchman and [...]
New York Sports Media Quote of the Day – March 4th, 2009
Today we feature Mike Vacarro of the New York Post, from his article “Alex Not in Same Class As Captain America”. This bit caused my eyes to start bleeding: The trendy thing to do among skeptics, cynics and statistical analysts is to diminish who Derek Jeter is, what Jeter is, what he brings to the [...]
THE SKY IS FALLING (Maybe)
The big news today is that Alex Rodriguez has a (partially) torn labrum in his hip, which caused the cyst that was found. If you don’t know this, you’ve been hanging out in a nuclear fallout shelter all day. The Yankees have announced that he is not—as of now—undergoing surgery to fix it and that [...]
Yankees vs Braves (Spring Training Game – March 7th)
For various reasons (WBC, faulty hips) a lot of the starting lineup is missing, but there’s still pitchers to watch. Hideki Matsui is starting to get his time in, and will probably play again tomorrow for his first back-to-back games this year. Chien-Ming Wang – 3IP, 3H, 1R, 1HR, 0BB, 2K, 5GO, 2AO Today marked [...]
New York Sports Media Quote of the Day – March 9th, 2009
This is a couple of days old, but I’ve been busy watching the World Baseball Classic. Ian O’Connor, the honor today is yours. The Yankees have no interest in devaluing an asset like Rodriguez, not when they have nine years to go on a contract worth more than $300 million. So they’re not about to [...]
