Torre and Proctor Suspended.

NEW YORK — Yankees reliever Scott Proctor was suspended four games and manager Joe Torre was penalized one game by Major League Baseball on Monday, a day after a skirmish between the Seattle Mariners and New York. (Source)
The Good News is that Torre can’t pitch Proctor for four days in a row!!  Bad news is that Proctor [...]

Cone’s Perfect Game.

I remember exactly where I was for Cone’s Perfect game.  Sitting in Yankee Stadium, Box 607, Row D, Seat 17 with a stunned look on my face as I turned to Russ in utter amazement that we had both witnessed TWO PERFECT GAMES!!
Most of the people in the stands were jumping up and down screaming [...]

For those old enough…

I remember the OTD announcement of Billy Martin in 1978.  As a kid, I was a big fan of Billy because he used to win.  As I got older and paid attention more closely to the Martin years of 1983, 1985 and 1988, I realized that he had his negatives.  I mean you think Proctor [...]

For those old enough…

The Clemens announcement was a throwback to the Old George – the return (one of many) of Billy Martin. Bob Sheppard announces Billy’s return for 1979, Billy runs from dugout, Bob Lemon announced as finishing 1978 (and winning it all in doing so, thank you.) The stadium goes wild – I remember listening to that crazy [...]

… make Clemenade??

Is that what you’re looking for?

Updated Odds…

After last night’s episode, we may need to update some of the Sopranos odds.
More Likely:

Arrested, turn snitch, and enter witness protection program (5-3) was (2-1).  Tony giving info to the Feds opens the door to the deal?  
Whacked by Christopher (5-1) was (10-1).  Chrissy is on the edge of turning snitch.  Clearly hates everyone.
Killed by Muslim terrorists (50-1) was (100-1). [...]

Armored Truck

I looked at the picture and thought there was going to be some joke about protecting Yankee pitchers.  You know, like:
Yankee management has acquired a new means of transportation, use of which will be required by all pitchers.  Mike Myers will be transported by moped sidecar.

Clemens Spotted leaving Yankee Stadium.

Bronx, NY – Roger Clemens is back in NY and as part of his new contract, the Yankees have given Roger the car he always wanted.  WELCOME BACK ROCKET!

Do you believe this crap?!

Pavano may have season-ending Tommy John surgery.  This guy should be dragged out onto River Avenue and tossed in front of train… to put the Yankees out of their misery.  So much for improving your relations in the clubhouse.  The guy actually had me believing he would be a contributor to the season.  Good Riddance.  [...]

Joe, you remind me of something…

In his famous statement from last week, Steinbrenner said that he would “do whatever it takes to support Cashman and Torre.”  This is what he means.  Clemens is an egomaniac, but the Yankees have to operate this way.  There are no trades to make at this point.  No team is going to help the Yankees.  Willis [...]
