Derek Jeter will skip the 82nd Midsummer Classic.  Jeter is among three Yankees who will miss the All-Star Game.

Dr. Anthony Galea, a healing doctor from Toronto, ON, pleaded guilty to a federal judge in Buffalo, NY to bringing in unapproved drugs into the US, which included human growth hormone (HGH) to many professional athletes. Galea has been connected to Tiger Woods and Alex Rodriguez. Why did he plea guilty? How does this verdict affect A-Rod and other athletes?

Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez has some high praise for Mets shortstop Jose Reyes.

Yankees won Saturday in the Bronx as they beat the Indians 4-0 in their second game of their four game wrap-around weekend series. A-Rod, Teixeira, and Granderson all homered in the win. However, Bartolo Colon came up lame as he was covering first base on a ground ball play. How significant is this injury? What do the Yankees do from here?

Yankees get a much needed win in Anaheim thanks to Alex Rodriguez. A-Rod provided the go-ahead 2-run home run which gave the Yankees a 3-1 lead as they hold on for the 3-2 victory. What made this particular win so important? What's next for the Bronx Bombers?

The Yankees snapped a six-game losing streak largely thanks to Alex Rodriguez.  A-Rod went yard twice and snapped a staggering streak of his own.

You can say what you want about Manny Ramirez - quitter, cheater or wacko. I say he's a Hall of Famer.  No doubt about it.

Who says athlete's don't have a sense of humor? The fact that they are able to put their serious #winning side out of the way for a few minutes sometimes produces priceless results.

I'm sorry to say it but the Big East Conference's performance in the NCAA Tournament tells me one thing - the Big East is a good league with no elite teams. So is it a "great" league?  Well, that's up for debate.

What are some things about sports that drive you crazy?  There are a couple of things that I had to get off of my chest as we get closer to March Madness.

As much as you'd like to think, Derek Jeter will not be the Yankees shortstop forever. And that's not such a bad thing.

You asked for it and here they are - in writing.  I'm going to predict the champions in all sports for 2011.
