A-Rod is going on the 15 Day Disabled List. Jorge Posada is on the DL for the first time in his career. Brian Bruney after working really hard and looking good is out for the season with torn ligaments in his foot, although he keeps trying to find a doctor that says otherwise (good luck [...]

Good Seats Still Available In Kansas City
It always makes me a little depressed to see a stadium empty like this, but given the way the Royals organization has been run in recent times I can’t blame people for not pouring out in droves. And to be fair it is the first game of a double header. I also completely understand not [...]
At Least You Can Always Count On Him For A Good Quote
Ozzie Guillen quote of the designated time period: Derek Jeter has everything in his life. He’s got money, he’s got rings. … He’s not married. He lives in New York. At the All-Star Game, I looked around to see if he’s got anything I don’t like. Whoa. The perfect man. Too bad I don’t have [...]
What Is Going On Here?
Joe Torre has been hit with some sort of craziness that is making him screw around with the lineups and do ridiculous things: You’re seriously going to give Andruw the second most plate appearances of anyone on the team, Joe? Geeze, at least it’s only for one night.
Old Reliable Stops Another Skid
Thank God for Andy Pettitte, who came out yesterday and stopped a skid by pitching a gem. He probably could have gone 8 innings and saved a bit more bullpen (or at least started it off with that rain delay coming, he was at 89 pitches after 7) but at least they got some reason. [...]
Battle of the Bullpens
Well, I know Wang was due for a bad game but I wasn’t expecting it to be as bad as last night. The worst thing about it is that he reverted back into his fastball only mode, the blame doesn’t lie totally on Moeller’s shoulders as Wang was shaking off pitches which meant he came [...]
Jackie Robinson Day at Shea Stadium
My boyfriend and I went to the Mets game last night because he had expressed an interested in seeing Shea Stadium this year before it is gone (I don’t understand either) and the tickets were $5 for Upper Reserve seating. They had a nice ceremony before the game, with Rachel Robinson speaking and unveiled the [...]
Hits and Runs and Bullpen, Oh My
Last night’s game in brief sentences: Ian Kennedy had a strong start, both his plus command and plus change showed up! A-Rod got a lot of hits, even one out of the park. The bizarre crippled lineup provided more offense than the powerhouse has so far. The bullpen is tired and it showed last night, [...]
The Power Of Wang Compels You
In other news, the Yankees lost some games and players this weekend but are still somehow doing better than last year. I’m sure that ends tonight as ultra emergency catcher Chad Moeller will be behind the plate. Maybe they will even get some hits and runs, I like hits and runs.
Great Moments In Sports Sign History
People should probably fact-check their signs before showing up to protests: And the one that continues to be my personal favorite: … Not much I can add to this introductory paragraph: Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Al Reyes was shocked with a stun gun and arrested early Friday after police say he fell against a ceramic [...]
