Jimmy Rollins' Prediction Proves How Stupid Sportswriters Are

So Jimmy Rollins proved once again that when it comes to playoffs and predictions, he's an idiot. Picking the Phillies to win in five games was clearly an act of a delusional man. Thank God the mighty Yankees proved him wrong...

Twins Loss Shows There's No Margin For Error For Small-Market Teams

To some, this photo shows you all you need to know about the Yankees-Twins playoff series. You've got Alex Rodriguez, the Yankees' superstar third baseman and his $33,000,000 salary standing ...

Minnesota Twins: Plenty of Blame To Go Around in Their Heartbreaking Loss

Start with the beginning. Let's face it: There are a lot of reasons the Minnesota Twins lost Game Two of the ALDS to the New York Yankees tonight. Some of those reasons are unfair; some are justified...

Why the New York Yankees Should Be Thankful for Brett Gardner

If the New York Yankees do indeed clinch home-field advantage in the American League for the playoffs and avoid a trip to Anaheim, they should be thanking Brett Gardner...

Examining The "Yankee Stadium Effect" on The 2009 Yankees

There's been a lot of talk this season about how Yankee Stadium has provided a big boon to the Bronx Bombers, with home runs flying out every which way. Some critics say the Yankees offensive numbers are nothing more than a product of their home ballpark.

If Only: Joe Mauer's Injuries May Have Cost Him Triple Crown

As Joe Mauer looks to put the finishing touches on his MVP season, and Carlos Pena goes down for the season, I realized something the other day: Had Mauer not missed a month of the season, he'd be in contention for the Triple Crown...

How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love My Role, Ramiro Mendoza Style

Let me say this right now: I do not like how the Yankees are using Joba Chamberlain. I understand the larger issue the Yankees are trying to deal with, but New York seems to have no real defined plan with regard to Chamberlain...

New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox Fighting Through Similar Problems

As the regular season draws to a close, the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox find themselves in familiar spots: Occupying the top two spots of the American League East...

Enough With the East Coast Bias Whining

With the end of the baseball season right around the corner, it's time for award season. Which also means it's time for the fans of West Coast teams to complain their teams get no respect in ...

When Gardner Returns, Swisher's Pinstripes Should Vanish

I specifically chose this photo because I believe when Brett Gardner finally returns from a broken thumb, Nick Swisher should not be seen in pinstripes for the rest of the season. I'm not talking about removing him from the team completely...

Understanding Sports Terminology 101: "MVP-Caliber Season"

Over his last 18 games, Derek Jeter has hit an absurd .460 with an on-base percentage near .500. He's also shown some more power recently, with five home runs in that span. With an average of ...

Cashman's Non-Moves Working Out Well For Yankees

Sometimes as a General Manager, your success and failure is measured not by the moves you make, but the moves you don't. For the Yankees' Brian Cashman, this saying rings true...

Last Night's Yankee Performance Proves It's Not All about the Stadium

As the Yankees pounded Josh Beckett last, drilling five home runs, it hopefully served as a reminder to fans that the New York Yankees offensive output this season is not simply a result of the new Yankee Stadium...

With AL East Crown Within Reach, What's Next for the Yankees?

As the Yankees put the finishing touches on the Red Sox last night, the question turned away from the AL East race, and to the larger picture. It wasn't the prettiest of series wins for the Yankees, especially considering the pitchers they had going...

Crowded AL Cy Young Race Could Be Won By Anyone

With only six weeks to go in the baseball season, the American League Cy Young race is a picture so muddled, I don't even know where to begin...

Derek Jeter's Other All-Time Record

I'm kind of amazed I haven't heard more about this on the YES network, but maybe I just don't watch enough TV. Derek Jeter is on the verge of becoming the New York Yankees' all-time hits leader, ...

Minnesota Twins Fans Don't Judge a Trade Too Soon

November 13, 2004 is a date that Twins fans will remember. It's the date they traded A.J. Pierzynski for Joe Nathan, Fransisco Liriano and Boof Bosner. At the time, Pierzynski was a solid, if unspectacular, catcher, having hit ...

I'd Give Stephen Strasburg Whatever He Wants and So Should The Nationals

Forget the endless debate on whether or not Stephen Strasburg will perform well enough to whatever contract he signs, or declines. Most players drafted don't make an impact on the game, so, even for a talented guy like Strasburg, there's no sure thing...

This "True Yankee" Stuff Has Got To Stop

Last night, Jorge Posada crushed a ball to right center field against the Seattle Mariners. The ball hung up in the air for a long time, hit the very top of the wall, landed, bounced twice, and was retrieved by Mariners' center fielder Franklin Gutierrez.

Joe Mauer Is the American League's Most Valuable Player

I almost can't believe I'm writing this. I'm a Yankees fan, so if anything, I should have decided last night that Mark Teixeira is the MVP of the American League. Well, he's not. Neither is the power-hitting first baseman for the Twins, Justin Morneau...

Enough With The Sergio Mitre Complaining

I'm going to come to Sergio Mitre's defense. For weeks now, Yankees' fans have been bemoaning every start by Mitre as proof of managerial incompetence. And, to some extent, they're right in that...

Division III Football's Dynasty Problem

(Author's Note: Please disregard the photo. Finding one of a Division III football team is next to impossible but apparently, you need a photo in every piece.) Most of you here probably love college football...

Home Field Turning Into a Must for the Yankees

Normally, I think there's too much emphasis placed on home-field advantage. Most players and coaches will tell you it only really matters in the last game of a series, and besides, if you're ...

Cole Hamels Should Serve As a Warning for Joba Chamberlain

As Cole Hamels mysteriously struggles through 2009, Yankee fans that aghast over Joba Chamberlain's innings limit should take note. This is exactly what the Yankees are guarding against. This is where the "Plus 40" rule for young pitchers comes into play.

MLB Fans: Baseball Isn't Football

Football is, without a doubt, the most popular sport in America right now. The amount of time devoted to the draft alone dwarfs coverage of many sports...
