I’ve gone to too many wakes and funerals lately. It’s depressing. I guess it’s my age. When you get to this age, you know a lot of old people. And what do old people do. Well, you know. Recently, I went to the funeral of a young person and [...]

All of the points made are correct. Management has failed miserably, on and off the field. One of the biggest mistakes was signing Mussina. He has never lived up to his resume and the money he is getting. I thought Clemens wouldn’t make a difference and in fact he has in [...]

(Does Joe ever write a “Cup o’ Joe” anymore?!)
I’ll take a tip from John S and tell a tale of my little league memories. After my little league experiences, it’s amazing that I love baseball now as much as I do. As I tell my tale, it’s important to note that I was [...]

My last cup talked about the apparent attempt by the media to run A-Rod out of town.  The New York Post has apparently made that its mission.  The coverage of A-Rod outside of the ballpark was outrageous and uncalled for.  Yet A-Rod continues to perform, all while Jeter’s failures slip by unnoticed.

“Land of the Lost”
Marshall, Will and Holly were on a routine expedition when their canoe was capsized and was thrown into a mysterious cave. The three found some intriguing crystals and were transported through a dimensional portal…..
Marshall, Will and Holly find themselves in a strange land inhabited by an odd monkey boy called “Chaka,” [...]

I once read an article about the true “cost to own” a late model (used) Ferrari. As I watched the Yankees last night, albeit on a night they won, it reminded me of this article.
A Ferrari is a street legal race car in Michaelangelo skin. A perfect blend of art, technology, and history. When new, [...]

Rememberances of Little League Past. Part 2 of 2 with Proust batting cleanup.
Here was the brain trust of my Little League Cleveland Indians. The manager was a NYC detective, as was the coach, who was a NYC detective sergeant or Lieutenant. They loved baseball, and coaching kids. We loved them. No exaggeration and no [...]

First, I want to say thank you to Joe for asking me to write down some of my thoughts. And, thanks for waiting for after April 15th.
I have two themes for this piece: the first being how enjoyable this season is so far and the second a retrospective on the history of the Yankees franchise [...]

Making your way in the AL East takes every arm you’ve got.
But Carl lands on the DL early, with other’s hamstrings shot.
He just likes to get away…
Pavano likes to go, where everybody knows his name
and no one’s surprised he came.
The coaches and all his teammates see,
they’ll be let down again.
They want to know, “Will Carl [...]

I sat silent for five minutes after Mo gave up the home run to Scutero. We have come to expect perfection and nobody is perfect. It was a bad pitch and Scutero made him pay. Andy deserved better, but he won’t complain. How many games has Mo saved for Andy over [...]
