Why I'm (A Little) Worried About Chien-Ming Wang
I am really fond of Chien-Ming Wang, as I think most Yankees fans who are not insane generally are. He’s the first starting pitcher the Yankees system has produced that has stayed with them since Andy Pettitte and he puzzles projection systems because he doesn’t strike out a lot of people (but he has very [...]
Panic!! Panic!! Alert!!
I really can’t get enough of the front and back covers of the Daily News and Post during the season (and also not during the season when running baseball related stories). They are really hilarious in their attempts to sell papers by stirring up controversy and getting silly people to panic and I am easily [...]
Oh No The Yankees Lost Their First Game!!!

I am tempted to frame this because of the ridiculous price: The will call window area was very slow, and although they have many lines inside the office everyone gets stuck on one [...]
Pictures From The First Game At Yankee Stadium
Wound up going to the game tonight after all, thanks to a friend. Here are pictures from my seat in Section 415 and beyond: And the annoying part of the games that apparently will never go away:
Compiling 2009 Season Predictions (Part 2)
Part 1 is here. This year’s theme seems to be that the Reds will improve by a lot–I think this is faulty trying to find the next Rays logic. They will improve but are unlikely to overtake the Brewers who have a far superior lineup. Ken Rosenthal (Fox Sports) Rosenthal’s predictions are, in a nutshell, [...]
