Yankees Must Dump Alex Rodriguez’s Contract Immediately
If anyone can find Hank and Hal Steinbrenner, tell them priority #1 should be to get rid of Alex Rodriguez's contract. It is the ultimate albatross in baseball and keeping the Yankees from doing so many things, such as getting below the luxury tax, building an actual team and being free of tabloid nonsense reserved for clowns.
Rays Rock Yanks
The Yankees were exposed by the Rays in Tampa Bay 5-1. New York has now lost 12 of its last 14 games at Tropicana Field.
How Many Games Will the Jets Win Without Darrelle Revis? [POLL]
Darrelle Revis is on his way to Tampa Bay, traded by the Jets for the 13th overall pick this year and a conditional pick in the 2014 NFL Draft. Revis, when healthy, is the best cornerback in the NFL. How big of a loss is this for the Jets in terms of games won...
Yankees Don’t Look the Same Without Derek Jeter
Since 1996, the face of the most famous American sports team has been one man. The shortstop. The eventual captain. #2. The future Hall of Famer. Derek Sanderson Jeter. 2013 seems like such a strange year without him.
How Many Games Will Andy Pettitte Win This Year? [POLL]
Andy Pettitte, the old grizzly veteran of the Yankee rotation, is off to a fast start with a 3-0 record and just over 2.00 ERA despite his age and recent back spasms. Can he hold up? The Yankees' season partly depends on it. If Pettitte stays healthy, the sky is the limit on what he can do this season...
Ivan Nova Could Be Heading Down Phil Hughes Boulevard
The once promising trio of Joba Chamberlain, Ian Kennedy and Phil Hughes was supposed to be pitching greatness in pinstripes for 10 years. Except that it never happened. Ian Kennedy was traded to Arizona, the Yanks messed with Joba so much that he never regained his true set-up stuff and Phil Hughes became a wait-and-see ballgame that ended 100 innings ago. But Ivan Nova was the savior. Until
Who’s Baseball’s Best Player {POLL}
We haven't seen this much young talent coupled with players in their respective prime in Major League Baseball in an awfully long time. Mike Trout and Bryce Harper are in year two. Miguel Cabrera is still young coming off last year's Triple Crown...
Yankees – Rays Series Preview
The Yankees won another series in Toronto and now head to Tampa Bay for three games. The Rays, fresh off a three-game sweep of the Athletics in which they outscored Oakland 17-4, are riding high. Here is a preview of the upcoming series between the 2nd place Yanks and 4th place Rays in terms of the AL East division.
Celtics-Knicks Will Be A Physical Grudge Match
The Knicks took game one 85-78. But what did we already learn about this series? That every player, not just Carmelo Anthony, is going to have to earn their points at both ends of the floor. The playoffs are different. Good defenses are aplenty. It is like facing big time starting pitching in baseball's October.
“42” Review
It was long overdue. The story of Jackie Robinson, the man who integrated baseball in 1947, changed sports and America forever, and had the backing of crusty Brooklyn Dodgers general manager Branch Rickey along the way. But as they say, better late than never. And it was indeed a late home run in extra innings in the theatre.
The Andy Pettitte Factor
It's time to start wondering just how good the Yankees will be this year based on three factors. The lineup hitting in timely spots, health and the depth of the pitching staff. Andy Pettitte arrives in the last two categories and could realistically be the difference in New York making the playoffs and winning the division.
When Will Derek Jeter Play Baseball Again? {Poll}
Derek Jeter recently suffered another setback when a CT scan revealed a crack in his injured and rehabbing ankle. Jeter said he was going to be ready for Opening Day many weeks ago. Now it will be at least July before the Yankee captain returns, according to general manager Brian Cashman...
