Burnett burning

Hey, logic finally prevails and the NYY wish to disassociate themselves from A.J.
Hey, if we are still stuck with him at least the front office has decided not to coddle the jerk. I’m liking that.
The Mets are picking up .220 hitters and chair throwing pitchers, but they are doing SOMETHING (besides building repelling).

Bobby V

I will readily admit that I found it hard to dislike Francona. He was a great manager for them. But Bobby V will be good for the Sox-Yanks rivalry. He knows how to get under people’s skins and he loves to beat the Yankees. And you know what he’s thinking: “This [...]

Bobby V

The Red Sox decided they needed a disciplinarian who really knows the game. The fact that the new hire is a maniac does not bother them in the least. I LOVE THIS.  If there is a bigger contrast between Girardi and Valentine…….
Christmas comes early for Boston sports talk radio.
Maybe Bobby will have a team building [...]

Wild Card

With the new deal, it seems it will be official:  Two wild card teams in each league. A one game playoff to determine the wild card winner.
Personally,  I like this.  As shown by this past year, there would be a lot of excitement surrounding a one game playoff.  I also like the idea of handicapping [...]

General thoughts…and first pass at 2012 Yankees

I think Francona will be named the next manager of the Cubs….Epstein will prob want to ensure the manager is someone he can work with…
With Ryan Howard out for 2012…I see Big Papi as an option for the Phils…2 year deal
Jose Reyes will be playing shortstop for the Giants
Pujols stays with the Cards
Prince Fielder will [...]

Cashman Resigns

No news here, one of the favorite whipping boys for the ‘Table is back for more. I miss the Boss, even if he resigned Cashman he would have rained veiled or direct insults and threats on him. The good old days…….

What I’ve discovered watching small bits of the World Series

These teams are better than the Yankees.
I find it sad that whenever a situation comes up where a big hit is needed, I think, “There not going to get it.”  Then, when they do get the big hit I think, “The Yankees wouldn’t have gotten it.” What happened? Am I just bitter?

News (Rumors?) from Fenway Park

Beer drinking and wing eating during games by off-day starting pitchers in the Fenway clubhouse. It’s as if high-living Babe Ruth was never traded from Boston. Tito couldn’t control the clubhouse and now Epstein is also headed for the door.
Did John Henry fire one or both of them? Gave them enough rope to hang themselves unless [...]

Baseball, social media and bad karma

So.. my brother in law is a die hard phillies fan. On Facebook, my wife can view the facebook pages of my brother in law’s friends, who are all phillies fans. After the Yankee debacle, they were all making fun of the pinstripes. Then the phillies promptly went out and showed everyone [...]

Pathetic is right.

We are all saying the same thing.  The offense lost this series.  What bothers me, with Swisher and Tex in particular, is that they refuse to adjust their approach when it is obvious to everyone that they are being pitched away. Selfish or stupid? Or both?
Unfortunately, there is not much that can be done with [...]
