New York Yankees: Holiday Thoughts

With the holiday season in full force, things like family, friends and “togetherness” (psh) are getting in the way of the important things – fantasy sports, kickball and analyzing the New York Yankees. Here are some thoughts and updates I want to discuss before I get summoned to spend some more “family time”. CC Sabathia [...]

My Interview with a Chicago Bears Blogger, Part 1

I did a two-part interview with Jonathan Carroll, the tastefully named blogger of our Chicago Bears blog, BearsHeadquarters.com, of the Rant Sports network of NFL blogs. He does a series of interviews with bloggers of the Bears’ opponent each week, so I took the time to answer some questions about the Jets upcoming matchup with the [...]

Zack Greinke Traded

The computer keys are still warm from my last post regarding Zack Greinke’s trade request.  Not a day later, Zack Greinke is turning in his Royal blue & white for a pitcher of brew and a cheese brat. The Royals sent their ace and franchise’s face to the Milwaukee Brewers in exchange for SS Alcides [...]

What To Watch For: Big Games Across the Board in Week 15

Week 15 is an important week all around the league, especially for the teams in both conferences that are trying to make a playoff push. The NFL schedule makers deserve some kudos for some of the marquee matchups that are taking place tomorrow. With only three weeks left in the regular season, the New England [...]

Zack Greinke Requests Trade

We already knew that Zack Greinke was on the block.  However, the rumors and speculation may be coming to an end sooner rather than later.  According to Jon Paul Morosi and Ken Rosenthal, Greinke has requested a trade.  Like I said, we already knew that there was a solid chance that the Royals traded Greinke [...]

New York Yankees Look at ‘Pen

With Cliff Lee opting for the red pinstripes of the Philadelphia Phillies, the New York Yankees have put some focus on bolstering the bullpen.  According to a Jon Heyman tweet, the Yankees are close to acquiring LOOGY (Lefty One Out GuY), Pedro Feliciano.  The deal is said to be worth 2 years/$8 million with an [...]

New York Yankees Need to Make Lemonade

Before we start, let’s get caught up to speed on a couple of signings the New York Yankees made this afternoon: Russell Martin – I don’t like Martin very much.  I blame that on his .679 and .680 OPS marks the past two seasons.  I like the move though as long as JESUS MONTERO STAYS [...]

A Plan B for the New York Yankees

For the record, I’m in the camp of people who view Cliff Lee as Plan A, B, C, D, E and F.  I think the New York Yankees should do whatever it takes to get Lee.  If that means offering more money and/or more years than anybody else is willing to offer, so be it.  [...]

Red Sox Add Another Big Piece

The papers finalizing the Adrian Gonzalez trade are still warm, but that was just the start of Theo Epstein’s off-season plans.  Last night, Carl Crawford agreed to a 7-year/$142 million contract to play left field for the New York Yankees’ most hated rival.  The deal is the largest for an outfielder ever.  You can say [...]
