Several sources are reporting that Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez will opt out of his contract and see how much he can get on the open free agency market. Though there wrre reports that the Yankees were going to try to extend his contract Brian Cashman was very clear a couple of weeks ago when […]
Torre Rejects Yankees
Ronald Blum of the AP is reporting that Joe Torre has turned down an offer to return to the Yankees as manager for the 2008 season. The offer was for 1 year at $5 million base with incentives based on how far the team goes in the playoffs. Torre was apparently not satisfied with the […]
Torre’s (And ARod’s) Future Still In Doubt
Another day has passed and nothing new in Mets camp. Nothing is new in Yankees camp either but for some reason they’re in the headlines. After another day of meetings Yankees have not yet announced any decisions regarding Joe Torre’s status as their manager. With his contract up at the end of the month Yankees […]
Yankees Still Mum On Torre Status
Since nothing is going on with the Mets let’s take a moment to discuss the Yankees where things always seem amplified. Yankees brass have begun their annual post season powwow in Tampa and have not yet announced weather Joe Torre will return for another season as their manager. There has been all kinds of support […]
R.I.P. Phil Rizzuto
It was reported yesterday that former Yankee shortstop and long time Yankee announcer Phil Rizzuto died Monday night. Many people in my age group fondly remember the banter between Rizzuto and Bill White and later with Tom Seaver in the Yankee booth.

Cynthia Rodriguez Turns Heads
I saw where Alex Rodriguez‘s wife, Cynthia, was spotted at Yankee Stadium yesterday wearing a tank top that said F— You on the back. I usually don’t care what people wear (with the slight exception of Anna Benson’s Mrs. Claus outfit) but what was she thinking? Though it is her prerogative to wear whatever she […]
R.I.P. Cory Lidle
By now anyone reading this knows about the incident in which former Mets and ‘current’ Yankees pitcher Cory Lidle was killed. The story has been all over the news in the last 24 plus hours. Nobody would confuse Lidle with Thurman Munson, the Yankees catcher and captain who lost his life in a place crash […]
Pythagorean Baseball
Anybody who has read this blog for a while knows that I don’t rely too heavily on stats. I’m into traditional stats and like to read about stats and sabermetrics and the like but I think people these days tend to over analyze things based on stats. So it was kind of odd for me […]
