The Girl Who Loved Andy Pettitte

Good managing rarely–if ever–wins you games but as you can see above bad managing sure does lose them (ask any Yankees fan about the 2003 World Series, watch their eyes turn red and start shooting lasers if that is not enough proof).
The pivotal point in this game came when the Red Sox started catching up [...]

The Yankees have a history of introducing new rules and not telling anyone, or having completely arbitrary rules for about a week that they change. In the 12+ years I’ve been going to games, the following have been banned at some time or other, usually not for more than a season at the most:

Umbrellas (this [...]

Via ESPN:

The New York Yankees have reached a tentative agreement with Richie Sexson, who was released by the Seattle Mariners a week ago.
Sexson fits in New York because the Yankees needed a right-handed slugger to match up against left-handed pitching — and Sexson had a .344 average against lefties this year.
Assuming the deal is completed, [...]

I really, really really hate the Angels. They play the Yankees every years on Old Timer’s Day, which is my favorite event at Yankee Stadium, and every year the Yankees lose. In 1998, the Yankees had a losing record to only one team, the Angels.
So, don’t get down on me because I am excited that [...]

This is the headline they ran all morning:

If you can’t read the text under the picture, it says “Jon Lester tries to secure a place in history beside Johnny Vander Meer as the only ones with consecutive no-nos when he takes the ball at 4 ET in Oakland.” Reach much, MLB?

This trade is possibly the only thing to ever happen in MLB history that makes Red Sox, Yankees and Mets fans all happy at the same time.

Alright, I don’t know who gave Mussina the time machine but please let him keep it through the end of the year. Last night he didn’t even get in any trouble, which was completely amazing. The Orioles are not a good team, but a lot of that is the pitching as they have some very [...]

I admit it, when the Yankees brought in Sean Henn I closed my GameDay window and switched my TV over to the PS2. Nothing says “There is no hope for this game” (or alternatively, “We win far too much, let’s lose this one in extra innings”) like a Sean Henn appearance. It’s not that he’s [...]

There were about 400 fans on hand when the game started Wednesday afternoon and the announced attendance was 10,121. The Marlins have the smallest total attendance in the majors.

That’s not very many people at all!
You would think they would not kick anyone out given the circumstances, but the Washington Post reports differently:

There were so few [...]
