Lol don't mind that Tim kid. He's one of those Penguins' fans who dreams about Mario Lemieux's d**k in his mouth. God I hate hockey fans that think their team is the greatest thing in the history of mankind, even when Philly fans do that...

Geoff, why are you so hard on Brad Lidge? He's a nice guy. Can't you cut him some slack, Geoff?

No.

I haven't pimped an article in awhile, but the silence is deafening, so here I go again.

I think that the Strasburg negotiations warrant a look at something that MLB should have adopted a long time ago. I'd like to know if you agree.

The Yankees have put together an unbelievable streak of magical wins, but is Yankee Stadium and its short right field porch New York’s “magic wand?” Can sitting back and waiting for a solo HR really translate to October success?

Thanks in advance! I would love to hear your feedback and comments. Take care.

The new Yankee Stadium had been criticized for its lack of intensity and electricity in the early months of the season, but this weekend’s series against the Red Sox finally make a familiar place seem like HOME.

Thanks in advance, and I would look to hear your opinions and feedback. Take care.
