Brought to you today by Joel Sherman, noted idiot. There is some hope in the Yankee family that a chastened Rodriguez will do better at taming his humongous ego and insecurities. Perhaps he could then fit more seamlessly into the Yankee culture. I have decided the only thing worse than TRUE YANKEE is YANKEE CULTURE [...]

New Yankee Stadium Relocation — End Game Thoughts
Payment for 2009 Yankees partial plans is due at the end of next week (the 27th, to be exact), and I still haven’t heard anything about my midweek plan so I assume that it is just dead. I will probably buy my friend’s midweek plan that he can’t use, but it would have been nice [...]
New York Sports Media Quote of the Day – February 18th, 2009
The first entry in this exciting feature comes from George King III, writer for the esteemed NY Post. It wasn’t as bad as R. Budd Dwyer’s last press conference 22 years ago, when the Pennsylvania treasurer shot himself to death on national television. But yesterday’s performance by Alex Rodriguez was full of holes. Hmm yes, [...]
Back in the Friday Night Saddle
The Yankees have finally started getting around to partial plan holders. It looks like my mid-season plan (2 seats) is gone but I did get my single seat Friday plan. This is great for me, as a lot of people who have much better seniority than me got downgraded from weekend plans to midweek ones [...]
Andy on Alex — Unconditional Support
We’ll be here. The team’s going to be here. We’re going to support him. We’re like family in here. You guys know, I’m big on relationships. I feel like I’ve built up a good relationship with Alex. I care about him. I’ll try to help him get through it as much as I can. No [...]
Spring Training Is Finally Here!
Pitchers and catchers (and whoever else felt like showing up) reported for the Yankees officially today and that means pictures where we get to boggle at how different people look from last season. Here’s the first of the year.
The New York Post Is Stalking A-Rod Again
Not that they ever really stopped, but they’ve picked it up because well, it’s not like there’s anything else going on to report about right? Looking relaxed, smiling and carrying a plastic bag full of fruit, Rodriguez strolled into the Hecht Athletic Center gym at the University of Miami for a workout that lasted about [...]
What's Overreaction Precious?
When the Yankees re-signed Alex Rodriguez in the fall of 2007, they envisioned the “clean” alternative to Barry Bonds – the knight in shining armor who would erase the stain of steroids from the all-time home run record, and they would bask in the glory of it with their brand. Now that A-Rod’s pursuit looks [...]
Braves Want Swisher, Don't Want To Pay Him
From ESPN’s Jayson Stark: In the meantime, the Braves seem to have emerged as the club most interested in Yankees outfielder Nick Swisher. But there are indications the teams got hung up when the Braves asked the Yankees to eat some of the $22.05 million Swisher has coming over the next three years — and [...]
