In the upcoming mid-season trade bonanza that will begin over the next few weeks, the New York Yankees and Mets will be searching for ways to improve their bullpens. With the second best bullpen in Major League Baseball, the Pinstripes will be fine tuning. With the 11th best bullpen in MLB, the Amazin's will need a few pieces, if they hope to hold off Atlanta in the National League East. From the looks of it, both teams can use a player that used to climb the hill for the Shaker High School Bisons.

He hasn't played for the New York Mets since 1999. Yet, he will make more this season than Mets starting pitcher David Peterson. This is a story that stems from greed. At the time, Mets ownership, led by Fred Wilpon and Saul Katz, were invested with their close friend Bernie Madoff. Things were great with Fred and Saul basking in fabricated double-digit returns. So, they made a historically laughable agreement when they wanted to jettison Bobby Bonilla prior to the 2000 season. One that has gone down in sports history as Bobby Bonilla Day.

The Colorado Rockies just finished their mini 2-game sweep of the New York Yankees. Needless to say the team was pretty pumped considering they are one of the worst in the league and were expected to be swept by the Yankees instead. As they prepared to board their flight to Miami to face the Marlins this weekend, the team posed for a picture, but not just any picture...

The New York Yankees had a shot against one of the worst teams in baseball, and were swept. On Wednesday, the Yankees lost the second game of a 2-game series against the Colorado Rockies 6-3. Starter Ivan Nova had a very sub-par performance as he gave up 10 hits in just five innings, surrendering five earned runs...

The Yankees and the Rockies combined to score 23 runs on Tuesday night in Colorado's 13-10 win over New York. Nathan Eovaldi had perhaps his worst start of the season.

Former World Series champion with the San Francisco Giants, Ryan Vogelsong, had a rough day day Monday, landing him on the Pittsburgh Pirates disabled list come Tuesday afternoon.

Shaker graduate Tommy Kahnle suffered his first major league loss on Wednesday, allowing a walk-off home run to Miguel Montero in the Colorado Rockies 5-4 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks. Montero’s homer led off the 10th inning and came after Rockies closer Rex Brothers squandered a 4-2 lead in the bottom of the ninth inning...

Forget A-Rod, steroids and the Yanks losing games. In my mind that's all trivial. There's some good coming out of the MLB and it involves an old time first base coach, kids sitting in the stands and some damn good advice.
