When the Yankees first acquired Chad Gaudin, it was obvious to me that it was a part of their public service program to help eliminate horrible facial hair in Major League Baseball. He was, at the time, one of the worst offenders as he sported a goatee that really looked like it belonged on a [...]

I'm Offended By The Yankees Offense Lately
The Yankees offense is driving me nuts. I know it’ll get better but right now watching Mark Teixeira bat makes me want to gnaw my arm off. His calendar must have been flipped back to April while nobody was looking. This video (not involving hitters hitting) is helping keep me sane. Maybe it will help [...]
Just Enjoying A Game Here
Last night I took Chris (the boyfriend) to his first Yankees game of the year. I was originally not going with him but his buddy dropped out last minute. We then considered not going because of the recent slump the Yankees have been in, but the weather was so nice I proposed to Chris that [...]
Where to Lay the Blame
After last year’s flow chart adventures, I realized that fans would need a guide for who to blame when the Yankees lose in 2010. Things have changed, and I know it’s a scary world when the default answer isn’t Alex Rodriguez. Figuring out who caused the Yankees to lose a game here or there has [...]

A lot of the stuff that is totally out there is by professional trolls like Greg Doyel and so I don’t pay them any mind. I’m also not [...]

MLB doesn’t schedule double-headers as [...]
Bad AJ Is Bad Enough On His Own, Thanks
When Bad AJ shows up it’s, well, bad. But it’s something that happens and it somehow didn’t happen until yesterday at all in 2010 and so I am not really upset about that unless Bad AJ shows up several times in a row. Bad AJ is terrible to watch. Painful, awful. Anything near the zone [...]
April Pitching Review For The Yankees
A month has ended and a new month has started and that means silly pitching graphs! Since there’s not a whole lot of data out there yet I am just doing the basics. In case you’re not familiar: FIP is a statistic that only takes the things the pitcher directly controls (Walks, Hit Batters, Strikeouts, [...]
