MLB Power Rankings: August 17 and Yankees claim the top spot again

New York Yankees

Wow!  What an exciting time for baseball, as these last 6-weeks will be about as competitive as ever. The New York Yankees are back on the top again this week because with all their injuries, most recently to ace CC Sabathia, this team is still winning. The Bronx Bombers went 3-1 vs. the Texas Rangers this past [...]

Are the Yankees stealing the spotlight in 2012? I think not

What MLB stories have hogged headlines so far in the 2012 season? Shockingly, it is not the New York Yankees, as the Universe is in morning and adjusting to life being Mo-less, which is about all they can handle now anyway. So for those Yankees fans who have lived in a box since Opening Day; [...]

Maybe New York Yankees Alex Rodriquez respects Ryan Braun herpes

Let me be clear by stating that Alex Rodriguez has never said anything about Ryan Braun’s failed drug test having to do with him taking medicine for herpes. Of course A-rod wouldn’t because he knows better, as Derek Jeter would have failed way before Braun… right? Kidding again. But now to the point, as this [...]

If you are a baseball fan, you must have heard the name Yu Darvish. Darvish is Japan’s newest pitching phenom who is coming to MLB in 2012, but that seems to be the extent of some fans knowledge by choice or not. Well, since I did receive a few emails this week asking me to [...]

New York Yankees Captain Derek Jeter is having a good ‘old time this off-season, and why the heck not. As if you didn’t know already, Jeter is single again and slaying chicks all over NYC. And all I can say is party on Captain. The NY Post’s Emily Smith and Tara Palmeri kindly found some [...]

Yesterday evening, thanks to the gracious PR queen Kathy Jacobson, I had the pleasure of attending a PitCCh In Foundationevent at the MLB Fan Cave, hosted by New York Yankees ace CC Sabathia and his wife Amber. The Sabathia’s’ hosted 52 kids (hence CC dons #52) from the Columbus House clubhouse of the Madison Square [...]

New York Yankees: A Note To Brewers Fans

Dear Milwaukee Brewers Fans, It is saddening when troubling news breaks about a player that you admire, like it did with your perennial Milwaukee favorite Brewer Ryan Braun. I can safely speak for most New York Yankee fans in stating that things changed the day Alex Rodriguez admitted to using PEDs (performance-enhancing-drugs). Even though he [...]

MLB: Steroids Are Still Baseball’s Dirty Mistress

300px-Ryan_Braun_2008-14

When ESPN reported the news that 2011 NL MVP Ryan Braun had tested positive for PEDs (performance enhancing drugs) it reminded me that baseball still had a dirty mistress. I knew back on January 11, 2010 that MLB commissioner Bud Selig might have spoken too soon about the end of the steroid era, when he told NY Time’s Mike [...]

New York Yankees: Angels Turn To The Dark Side

Can you blame them? I am talking about the new evil empire called the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, who dropped the bomb today with the announcements of signing Albert Pujols and CJ Wilson. Pujols will be making $250 million bucks over the next 10-years; while Wilson will be paid $77.5 million over the next [...]
