Russ…I know I was a big proponent of a trade for Peavy…but I’ve changed my mind:
1. I don’t want someone who a) Doesn’t want to play in the Northeast and B) wouldn’t jump at the chance to play for the Yankees. To me, these are a recipe for disaster. Peavy MAY not have the makeup [...]

Getting bashed the way he does. No seriously, I agree. Open the wallet they will as they must because as you say – Boston will be there, but Tampa isn’t going anywhere either.
I think the Yankees need to become involved in the discussion on two key players:
1) Texeira: Although I’m [...]

The Yanks need to open the wallet big time this offseason. Because they need to worry about more than just the Red Sox.
The Red Sox have a good young core. And they’ll be creative in the offseason. The Sox aren’t going anywhere for a while.
The Rays will be in the hunt again next [...]

The conventional wisdom is that this will not be a widely viewed World Series. However, sometimes the most unlikely matchups produce the best contests. Last night was a well paced (for a world series game), competitive game. A very nice job by Cole Hamels, who is hitting his stride quite nicely. [...]

The World Series is in the AL park this year because the AL won the All-Star Game at Yankee Stadium this year. Why is this interesting?

Is also slightly dysfunctional, like alot of families out there. That’s why it took years for guys like Jim Bouton and Roger Maris to come back to the Stadium. Most famously, it’s why Yogi stayed away for years and years, and presently why Torre (and to a lesser degree, Mattingly) were treated the [...]

Now that the most prestigious sports franchise has a joint venture with one of the swarmiest (I’m thinking the Bengals and some NBA franchises might be somewhat swarmier than the Cowboys), the bartending side of the new catering operation can be handled by two new drinking buddies – Pacman Jones and Joba Chamberlain.
Hal Steinbrenner was [...]

The New York Yankees and Dallas Cowboys announced a joint venture today, Legends Hospitality Management, which will handle the catering, concessions and retail merchandising at the teams’ new stadiums. They are going to compete for the concessions at other stadiums. Each team borrowed $100 Million. Goldman Sachs and CIC Partners were [...]

They beat the frost (barely). The sod is down at the new Stadium. Check the wcbs880 website, they have photos taken from their traffic helicopter.

I agree on the temperment of Philadelphia fans in general and, I really can’t stand their football team and their hockey team. The Phillies, however are a little different – they recently suffered their 10,000th loss in franchise history so they are a little overdue. The Rays have never won it, but they [...]
