After watching the New York Yankees, 11-inning loss to the Toronto Blue Jays last night without a doubt I was aggravated. So it I started thinking about the 2012 Yankees, and comparing them to the 2009 World Series Champions. And as usual started writing notes down. So below is my attempt to make sense of [...]
It is no big secret that something is wrong with Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez. Many Yankee fans are convinced that because A-rod hit four hard balls in last night’s 6-1 win over the Blue Jays that he is primed to get hot but I am not so convinced this is a baseball issue. Think about [...]
Back on April 4, 2012 ESPN New York’s Wallace Matthews wrote an article called Five big questions for the Bombers: The Yankees may be the AL East favorites, but they do have some issues to face. Now that the 2012 MLB season has reached the All-Star Break, which unofficially marks the middle of the season, I wanted to [...]

The New York Yankees have been noticeably without out-fielding speedster Brett Gardner for the last week. Gardner made a dynamic, diving catch last Tuesday night, which resulted in him injuring his right arm and being put on the 15-day DL immediately following an MRI that revealed it was bruise and strained elbow. According to skipper [...]
The 2011 Cleveland Indians came out of the gate hot last season, and were first in the AL Central up until July 20th having won 51 games. Following that day, the Tribe only won 29 more games in 2011, and finished the season a distant second with 15 games separating them and the division leading [...]
Heading into 2011, the Atlanta Braves were a championship caliber team and played that way for the first five months of the season. The Braves were the NL’s version of the Red Sox, arriving in September with an 8.5 game lead for the wild card only to blow it and land in a jam. The [...]
Finally, the New York Yankees GM Brian Cashman resigned ex-Athletics hottie Eric Chavez. It is mind-boggling that this took so long, especially after reading a mid-January post on MLB Trade Rumors that there were a number of teams interested in him. This was not surprising because when Chavez is healthy he is as solid a player [...]
