At Least New York Fans Don’t Do This…

Posted in Baseball, Culture, MLB, Yankees, tagged , , on November 2, 2010 | 2 Comments »

New York fans get a bad rap around the country for being unruly (I am talking to you Mr. Greenberg), and sometimes the criticism is justified. Some spitting, a few thrown objects and even a fight or two have been known to breakout in the stands, but the one thing you’ve never seen is a […]

Yanks Don Costumes, Not Uniforms This Halloween

Posted in Baseball, Humor, MLB, Yankees, tagged on October 31, 2010 | 1 Comment »

For only the third time, Halloween will play host to the World Series. On the two previous occasions, the Yankees were victorious, but this time around the Bronx Bombers will be donning costumes instead of uniforms. At least AJ Burnett will. The team’s very own Jekyll and Hyde snatched up a few scary items before […]

The Diplomacy of Saying Goodbye: Yanks Would be Wrong to Ignore Sentimentality in Dealing With Aging Stars

Posted in Baseball, MLB, Yankees, tagged , , , , on October 30, 2010 | 3 Comments »

Earlier in the week, we suggested that Joe Girardi’s legacy as Yankee manager would depend on how he shepherds the Yankees’ core of aging veterans through the twilight of their respective careers.

Cliff Lee is human after all. Heading into yesterday’s World Series opener, Lee had compiled a 7-0 record with a 1.26 ERA, the third lowest postseason rate among starters with at least 50 innings (Sandy Koufax: 0.95 and Christie Mathewson: 0.97). Lee’s performance over the last two Octobers was so dominant that he even started to […]

According to numerous published reports, Joe Girardi and the Yankees are in the process of finalizing a three-year contract extension worth around $9.5 million. The wisdom behind retaining Girardi is certainly debatable, especially after a postseason that featured so many questionable decisions, but what is clear is the Yankees have adopted a philosophy of managerial […]

Yankee Fan’s Guide to the 2010 World Series: From Rags to the Hawk, Cliff Lee and New York

Posted in Baseball, Baseball History, MLB, Yankee History, Yankees, tagged on October 26, 2010 | 4 Comments »

The 2010 World Series will be a unique one for many Yankees’ fans because the two teams involved do not really inspire a passionate rooting interest, either for or against. Of course, there are the traditional “root for the American League” or “root against the team that beat the Yankees” rationales to consider. Also, for […]

Yankee Go Home: Season Ends in Texas as Rangers Head to First Rodeo

Posted in Baseball, Game Recap, MLB, Yankees, tagged , on October 23, 2010 | 4 Comments »

The Rangers couldn’t have drawn it up any better. In the team’s previous 49 seasons, it had made the postseason only three times, and lost each series to the New York Yankees. After dispatching the Rays to win their first ALDS, the Rangers then exacted revenge on the hated Yankees, who had turned them away so […]
