Mike Lupica says something nice about Alex Rodriguez. The world has gone mad on us all.

The Yankees Have A Rare Moment of Not-Greed
It seems that CNBC has gotten their hands on the Yankees postseason ticket prices. You should head over there to read the full thing but here’s the news I was excited about: Those season ticket holders sitting in non-premium seats will pay the same per-game price as they are paying for the regular season for [...]
I Survived A 15 Inning Baseball Game
There aren’t many 15 inning games over the course of a season, never mind 15 inning games that last almost six hours and involve both the Yankees and the Red Sox. But there was one Friday night, and like every Friday night game the Yankees have had for the last few years I was there. [...]
Things That Are Ridiculous, In Brief
And a special non-Yankees related throw in that is completely amazing. Update by request:
2-out RBI: Rivera, Ma.
Last night, we were blessed once again with an at bat from Saint Mo and it ended even better than his first. He worked a walk with the bases loaded against one of my most hated players, Francisco Rodriguez. I’m sure he was once again told not to swing the bat, and just like his [...]
Rare Event Sighting: Mariano At Bat (In Pictures!)
Last night as Manny Acosta started letting men on base, I asked the Baseball Gods for one thing: Please, let Mariano Rivera come up to bat. Apparently, the Yankees offensive sacrifice over the last two weeks appeased them and I got what I asked for. He took a great cut but unfortunately his liner went [...]
Coco Crisp: Now Starring in "The Birds"
Well, the Yankees had a tough loss that shouldn’t have been a loss that I will have plenty of whining about later, but at least they didn’t lose because of a ball getting deflected off a seagull. To commemorate the event, here are the screengrabs I took from Cleveland’s feed (make sure you click for [...]
Two Nights Even Drunk Idiots Couldn't Ruin
My baseball marathon for the week ended last night. Unlike the team itself I have an off day today before going again on Friday which is good, because I need to do laundry. The crowd on Tuesday (at least in my section) was hands down one of the most annoying I have dealt with, ever, [...]
A Miracle Occurs
I got home from the game about half an hour ago and I’ve just got to say tonight was amazing. I didn’t particularly like how the Yankees got there, but honestly Andy looked shaky from the get go so I knew something bad was coming. Melancon giving up that hit and the lead immediately was [...]
The Catastrophic Results Of Bad Managing
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 [...]
