YANKEES VERSUS METS

OK, so I didn’t get around to writing a preview of the subway series, but it didn’t matter. I couldn’t predict that the Yanks would get stomped out by their crosstown rivals.
So here are the Yankees and Mets broken down by position as of right now
Catcher-Molina/Moeller vs. Schneider
Posada dwarfs Schneider in Homeruns and RBI’s. [...]

D’Antoni is all about the money

Mike D’ Antoni has officially signed with the Knicks for a 4 year 24 million dollar deal. I personally think he is nuts for taking the job and this proves that he is all about the money. If he wanted to contend for a championship he would have went to the Bulls who [...]

RAIN RAIN GO AWAY….ON SECOND THOUGHT…STAY

The Yankees were rained out today but it may actually be a blessing in disguise.  The Yankees need a rest after playing some hard games against the Indians and the Tigers.  The big help is that the Bombers can now switch up the rotation they way they want it to be.  Pettitte is scheduled to [...]

I Feel Stupid…and Man of the Year

So a few days after I say “if Cano doesn’t hit, Alberto Gonzalez is gonna take his job”, the Yankees made a move…..They sent down Gonzalez and reactivated Wilson Betemit who had been on the DL.
Since I was dumb, I wanted to write about some other dumb things in sports:
-Fans who only yell “you suck” [...]

Yankees lose more than just a game or two (again) and Chicks dig the long ball

So far the Yankees’ casualty list is pretty staggering.
Jorge Posada out 6 weeks
A-rod on 15 day DL
Phil Hughes out until July
Brian Bruney out until September (and that would be pushing it)
The Yanks got pummeled by the Tigers who rolled through the Bronx, making the Yankees look like a minor league team.  The Bombers couldn’t do [...]
