I love the Yankees, and almost everyone on the team very much. And I really want them to do well. After their sweep of Boston I felt really good about the team, but now I am not sure. I don’t think the pitching will hold up, I think the bullpen is a mess both because [...]

The Mike Mussina Implosion Has Happened
5 innings, 11 hits, 6 earned runs. I guess it could have been worse and 4 of those runs did come in the same inning. In any case, first round playoff exit, here we come! I am comforting myself by watching Phil Hughes talk about getting better. Too cute.
Being Busy Won't Stop Me From Celebrating
Mine weren’t as fun as the Yankees, but fun nonetheless! Joba, victim and perp.
Mussina Allows Some Runs This Time, But Reaches A Milestone Quietly
In the middle of everything (Jobamania in New York), it seems everyone has forgotten that today you won your 250th career game. I did not forget Moose (well okay I did but then I remembered), so you get some congratulations too. I don’t know if anyone at YES remembered either, because they didn’t mention it [...]
ANDY PETTITTE MAKES HIS MILESTONE!
Congratulations Andy on win 200!!! I am so happy you came back to the Yankees for this, and that you were able to do it at Yankee Stadium!
Mussina Pitches…This Time It's 7 Scoreless Innings???
Alright, I don’t know who gave Mussina the time machine but please let him keep it through the end of the year. Last night he didn’t even get in any trouble, which was completely amazing. The Orioles are not a good team, but a lot of that is the pitching as they have some very [...]
Heart Attacks and Headaches
I’m a little exhausted after sitting in Section 33 of Yankee Stadium last night for four hours, especially because of the almost soul destroying Kyle Farnsworth 9th inning. The official attendance was 52,000 for the game, but by the 8th there were only 20,000 people there at most. These were all very loud people who [...]
Shelley Duncan, True Yankee Hero
Talk about sore winners. Griffin Whitman, a 10-year-old Red Sox [team stats] fan from Swampscott, was excited to attend his first Yankees vs. Red Sox game Friday night. The young autograph -collector was even more thrilled to score Yankees outfielder Shelley Duncan’s signature before the game. That is, until Griffin read the message from the [...]
Things I Don't Like To See
The 9th inning of tonight’s game was excruciating, because Mariano was doing his best to make the game exciting or he was possessed by Mitch Williams. I haven’t decided which yet. The game was already pretty exciting so I’m leaning towards the second option. Really what it did was make me nervous for the future, [...]
I Have No Idea How Tonight Happened, But It Was Awesome
I admit it, when the Yankees brought in Sean Henn I closed my GameDay window and switched my TV over to the PS2. Nothing says “There is no hope for this game” (or alternatively, “We win far too much, let’s lose this one in extra innings”) like a Sean Henn appearance. It’s not that he’s [...]
