I’ve been AWOL for quite some time for a variety of reasons but mostly because I have been very busy at work this year. I couldn’t stay away during Hall Voting Season, though, so my ballot tracker is back and so am I. And I’m not gonna lie, I will probably need help keeping it [...]

Alex Please Hit 600 Already
I understand that round number 600 is taking A-Rod longer than expected. He’s not a young guy and he has a hip that needs some rest and never gets any. But I would very much like for him to knock it out already. The crowd at Yankee Stadium desperate to be a part of baseball [...]
Big Boats and Old Timers
I had a busy baseball weekend. After getting home later than expected on Friday night, thanks to the hour long rain delay I went home and got a few hours sleep than ran over to Staten Island in the morning for their mini Old Timer’s day which is a nice and cute thing, wasted a [...]
If You Block My View of Mariano, I Will Yell At You
The Yankees had a two run lead going into the top of the 9th inning tonight, meaning it was Mariano Rivera time. Mariano is, as pretty much everyone who has watched baseball in the last several years knows, a very special player and it is a pretty big deal to most people at Yankee Stadium [...]

Yankees Set Prices For The Cubs Exhibition Games
The Yankees are playing two exhibition games against the Cubs in early April, which will be the first two baseball games at Yankee Stadium. This is old news. The new news is that they are going to be selling them really cheap: The price of a bleacher seat for the exhibition openers at the new [...]
It Should Be Exciting…But It's Not
So far out of the Winter Meetings: The Veterans Committee failed to vote in any post-War players like Dick Allen or Ron Santo. Boo on you, Veterans Committee. CC Sabathia isn’t signing before the meetings are over and if the Giants offer him anything that doesn’t suck, he’s going there so yeah he’s going there [...]
Winter Meetings Begin
Well, the Winter Meetings start today and stuff is already happening. Cashman apparently had some kind of meeting with CC Sabathia yesterday that all Yankees fans hope went well. The Tigers have traded for Gerald Laird, so that’s one less team looking for a catcher. The Mets took Francisco Rodriguez out to dinner (no word [...]
