Apparently great ceremony for Jeter and Rivera last night but I tuned in too late to see it. For a “meaningless” game it was entertaining. When you have clinched all you can clinch you could stand watching  the Phil Coke field his position like a clown without ripping your hair out.  Think I would have [...]

Is it when they decided to rest him regularly (starting with the trip to the Marlins in June)?

Before Rest Schedule – .212 Avg, 18R, 9 HR, 26 RBI
After Rest Schedule – .318 Avg, 58 R, 19HR, 67 RBI

Or after the first Public kiss with Kate?
 

Before Public Kate Kiss – .247 Avg, 41 R, 19 HR, [...]

I’m not a big fan of her movies, but Mike’s comments are dead on.  She seems to have provided a sense of sanity to A-Rod’s life which has him relaxed and enjoying his place on the team and playing baseball again.  Gone are the careerist type moves, distracting antics which wind up in the News [...]

I agree with the comments made today about the team and individual players.  It’s not just talent but playing cohesively as a team rather than a bunch of individuals.  A-Rod had his best year as a Yankee because he contributed in little ways to winning big games, especially against Boston, and he had played under [...]

You forgot to mention Kate’s amazing transformation of Alex.  Instead of brooding over his divorce to Cynthia (wearer of the F#ck You T-Shirt at the Stadium), chasing after muscular call girls, or spending quality Kabala time with Madona, Kate has Alex playing well this year.  I know she’s no Minka Kelly, but you have to [...]

One big piece of the puzzle that had been missing for a number of years, but is back now, is that this bunch of players, who are the most highly paid in Yankee history, are playing like a team rather than individuals.   This goes right to the character of the newer players as well as [...]

Here’s a little update on our projections for A-Rod and where he is today…..
ALEX - as of 9/28 – 123 Hits, 28 HR, 93 RBI .285 AVG
Predictions….

John B  – 126 H, 29 HR, 95 RBI, .281
John S – 126H, 32 HR, 91 RBI, .272 AVG
Joe – 125 H, 30 HR, 100 RBI, .279 AVG
Ellen – 127 H, [...]

Biggest question is certainly the second starter.  In the last few ALDS’s two hard throwing opponent starters shut our hitting down.  CC matches with anyone, #2 is risky business.
 The original start of year question on Burnett was can he stay healthy? That has changed to – can he pitch in the clutch and stay out of [...]

As we have learned, winning is not easy. Winning when you are supposed to win is not easy. Winning when you have spent the most money, believe it or not, is not always easy. So congratulations on winning the division. Coming from 0-8 against the Red Sox to finish up in [...]

Three down, Three to go.  Goals that is. 

First goal.  Playoffs. Check
Second goal. AL EAST Champs. Check.
Third goal. Best AL Record. Check

Now on to the more difficult.

ALDS Win
ALCS Win
WS Win

Nice time was had by all at the stadium yesterday.  I knew early in the season that the 0-8 against the Sox was an abberation.  They allways [...]
