I love going to the ballpark with my father. We always seem to have a great time. I actually just did a trip with my dad to Baltimore to see my beloved Yanks beat up on the poor Orioles. I have many great memories of being at the ballpark with him, but I have never [...]
Congratulations Derek Jeter.
Congratulations to the Yankee Captain for breaking the Yankees’ All-Time Hits record that stood for over 70 years!
Is Bigger Better?
Rawlings’ new helmet has people all around Major League Baseball buzzing. The s100 offers players protection against 100 MPH fastballs to the head. The standard helmet, which has been used for years, can only realistically withstand about an 80 MPH direct blow. Depsite the fact that the new lid offers enhanced protection, the majority of players [...]
Santana Surgery Possible, Francoeur Out. DBO not to blame this time.
As I said a few days ago, I can probably be blamed for Jose Reyes and Carlos Beltran being injured and screwing up part of the Mets’ year. I cannot however take credit for the latest blows to an already lost Metropolitan season. Johan Santana has discomfort in his elbow that will most likely require [...]
Yanks Bounce Back In Big Way
The Yankees had lost 9 straight against the Boston Red Sox, until last night’s 13-6 victory, and in the beginning of the 2009 season everyone and their mother counted out the Yankees saying no way they would win the east. Now I know there is plenty of ball left to be played, but even ESPN’s [...]
Thrilla in Hollywooda
What a scene it must have been last night in the hallways of Dodger Stadium after the home team crushed the visiting Brewers 17-4. Prince Fielder, who had been plunked earlier by Guillermo Mota in retaliation from a Manny beaning, roared through the stadium corridors and tried to break down the walls to the Dodger [...]

The study took place in 2 labs in Connecticut and Alabama and it was found that throwing curveballs is less stressful than throwing fastballs. Glenn Fleisig, [...]
Update: Bernazard Fired By Mets, Minaya clashes with reporter
Last week we wrote about the tirade that Mets’ VP of Player Development Tony Bernazard went on in the Binghamton Mets’ clubhouse. Well, Tony got the can today and I’ll say it’s one of the smarter moves the Mets have made, although it was also a no brainer. But in typical Mets fashion more controversy [...]
Report: Cards Acquire Holliday from A’s
A major deal went down today between the Oakland A’s and the St. Louis Cardinals, as Matt Holliday was traded to St. Louis for third baseman Brett Wallace, outfielder Shane Peterson and right-handed pitcher Clay Mortensen. According to ESPN’s Buster Olney, the A’s will also throw in $1.5 million as well. Holliday has been mediocre [...]
The Incredible Tony
I hate to have 2 of the first 3 posts be about the New York Mets, but this is too good to be true. News surfaced today that the Mets VP of Player Development Tony Bernazard challenged minor leaguers on the Binghamton Mets to a fight after going on a 10 minute post game rampage [...]
