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 [...]

Proof that ESPN Hates Baseball Fans
ESPN will announce Wednesday that Steve Phillips will join Jon Miller and Joe Morgan in the “Sunday Night Baseball” booth for 2009, altering for the network’s announcing lineup for its showcase event for the first time in 20 seasons of televising MLB. There were rumors for a while that they’d be breaking up the amazing [...]
This…This Is A Bad Idea
Per Pete Abe the Yankees are offering none of their free agents arbitration. I cannot express in words how stupid this is right now but it is really dumb, especially if they still plan on signing multiple Type A free agents. Good job guys, I can’t wait to see what the team looks like on [...]
John Harper Is An Idiot (Wherein I Rant About Wins)
I don’t really like calling attention to dumb things that are written by sports writers because there are just so many of them and usually it’s just a mild annoyance. But every once in a while something so stupid is published that my mind is really blown and I can’t let it pass by. I [...]
This Is Insanity (The Bad Kind)
George King, noted crazy man and reporter for the New York Post, published his on one of his off season roundups: The Yankees New York Yankees , for the second time inside a week, are on the verge of making an eye-popping offer to a free-agent pitcher and behaving like the days when The Boss [...]
Andy Shut Down Officially
Andy’s been shut down for 2009. From nj.com: The Yankees announced Wednesday that Pettitte, whose left shoulder has been bothering him for at least a month, will not pitch again this season. “I’ve thrown enough innings,” Pettitte said before Wednesday night’s 6-2, 10-inning victory over the Blue Jays at Rogers Centre, a game won on [...]
It's A Mad World
Yesterday, the Yankees once again let themselves get shut down by a pitcher who just isn’t very good. Which is funny because the night before that, they got to one who has been very good all year and who regularly gave them fits in Ervin Santana. Even crazier than that though is that Hank Steinbrenner [...]
I Just Saw An Inning That Had EVERYTHING
Catcher balk (this is something charged to the pitcher for some reason although it is all catcher related, and is called maybe once every five years). Fight out of nowhere. Dead pitching coach (RIP Dave Eiland). Bobby Abreu magical fielding fun time. I need a drink or twenty.
Completely Ridiculous Yankees Pitching Matchup Theatre
If the Rays can’t get to Rasner then…well, they should be ashamed of themselves.
How Many Times Is This Going To Happen?
Andy Pettitte, after getting screwed by his defense in the first inning (haha Yankees defense haha), goes 5 strong innings afterward and is at about 100 pitches. Joe Girardi–after insane bullpen machinations the last few games–brings him out for another inning in a close (4-2) game. Andy Pettitte, being tired, doesn’t pitch very well. Oh, [...]
