Phew, I had a long week at Yankee Stadium as I often do when the Yankees are playing against non big-ticket teams. I saw some good, some bad, and had some death wishes. Here’s my observations on this week: Jorge Posada being back in the lineup is great, and really strengthens the bottom of the [...]

Reminder: Chien-Ming Wang Is Awesome
I have no idea what is being said but I assume it’s about Chien-Ming Wang being awesome because he is: … Things I’m looking forward to: The comedy that will be Kei Igawa starting one of the Yankees’ upcoming games against the Tigers. How many homeruns will they hit off my favorite Three True Outcome [...]
