Bob Klapish notes
The Unit, cold and aloof from the first day, never fit in with the Yankees, spending most of his time at his locker with his back to his teammates. . . . Maybe it was Johnson’s way of acting tough in a big market, or maybe it was his frustration at the stunning [...]

Saw Mike’s post on Bubba Crosby and the video clip. Take a look at it again and note the following:
The Defensive clip is essentially the same play from the ALDS against Anaheim when Sheffield collided with Bubba. Note how fast Bubba tracked down the ball and crashed into the wall, while Sheffield clearly had decided to [...]

If you saw Goose pitch you would vote for him for the HOF. He was dominant and a feared pitcher. His stats are good, but some players played better than their stats, e.g, Jim Rice. He should be in as well.Â

I heard him this morning on ESPN 1050 (unfortunately this is the only station where I can get sports info) talking about the Hall of Fame vote. He intimated that some voters should not be allowed to vote because they left Ripken and Gwynn off of their ballots. Then he couldn’t understand why voters didn’t [...]
