Rickey Henderson, Jim Rice, elected to Baseball Hall of Fame

Posted by Bill Jempty · Published: January 12, 2009 · Comments (2)

Henderson is the greatest leadoff hitter in the history of baseball. Jim Rice was a very good player, his HOF credentials are iffy. He hit homeruns and drove in runs but had minuses too. I'd have voted for Tim Raines before Rice. People who didn't get voted in- Mark McGwire.... [Full Story]

Former MLB Dock Ellis dead at 63

Posted by Bill Jempty · Published: December 20, 2008

I remember Ellis from his days pitching with the Pirates. He was a good pitcher, an excellent one in 1971. The story of his pitching a no-hitter while on LSD just doesn't sound credible. The effect of that drug on people can make even simple activities impossible. RIP.... [Full Story]

Shoulda Bought Her A Bigger Ring, A-Rod

Just like Kobe Bryant did when he was caught cheating on his wife.

She called him an adulterer who "emotionally abandoned his wife and children."... [Full Story]

Former NY Yankee Pitcher Tommy Byrne dead at age 87

A-Rod Contract Questioned by Overpaid, Failed Anchor?

Posted by Danny Strickland · Published: December 17, 2007 · Comments (1)

This one is kind of tough for me as I have a bit of trouble with any baseball player getting $30 million a year while field-level seats at Yankee Stadium cost over $400. Newsbusters has the full story. But when you consider the source in this, it is beyond laughable.... [Full Story]

A-Rod's New Advisor - Warren Buffett

Posted by Dan Zinski · Published: November 17, 2007

It looks like Alex Rodriguez did in fact go around his agent Scott Boras in negotiating his new $275 million contract with the Yankees.

Yanks lose series, possibly Torre, A-Rod and others

Posted by Peter F. · Published: October 9, 2007

During last night's broadcast of the Yankees/Indians ALDS on TBS, a fan was holding up a sign with the black letters of "T", "B" and "S". It stood for "Torre Better Stay". Clever, but not likely to happen. And he'll have company as he packs his boxes, too. After getting... [Full Story]

Torre Stays

Posted by Peter F. · Published: October 10, 2006

It couldn't have been more than five minutes after the Detroit Tigers rousing upset defeat of the New York Yankees that the New York Daily News reported Yankee skipper Joe Torre would be fired. Oops.

Mr. November

Posted by Peter F. · Published: October 4, 2006 · Comments (2)

OK, let's make this perfectly clear: Like most people in America, I dislike the Yankees. I dislike everything about them. Their players, their owner, their fans, their budgeting-busting, buy-every-good-player-in-sight philosophy, their TV network, the way ESPN, the NY Post and others fawn over them and all those damn rings.
