Twelve Years ago, Joe Torre became the manager of the New York Yankees and guided them to the pinnacle of the baseball world in only his first season at the helm. When Charlie Hayes made the final out in Game 6 of the 1996 World Series, the Yankees won the world championship for the first time in 18 years. Read More »
Last year, the New York Mets were overtaken by the Philadelphia Phillies in the final weeks of play as they suffered one of the worst September breakdowns in baseball history. That agonizing finish set General Manager Omar Minaya in motion over the winter, making sure that he acquired an ace-quality arm to provide consistency and excellence down the strectch in a playoff race. Now, his plan is beginning to look genius…but will it be enough? Read More »
In light of the news that New York Mets closer Billy Wagner will undergo surgery that will cost him at least one full year, the Mets find themselves without a closer at the back end of one of the most vulnerable bullpens in the league. Surely, they must shore up this position in the off-season if they wish to improve upon their recent success and enhance their future odds of winning a championship.
Francisco Rodriguez has become one of the most dominant closers in today’s MLB. He is one save shy of Bobby Thigpen’s all time single season saves record of 57 and still has three weeks to play. The Angels know how valuable he is, the fans know, and more importantly, Rodriguez himself knows it. This has often been a topic of debate, as the 27-year old K-Rod has made it known that he will be seeking a salary of roughly $15M per season, probably for 5 seasons, following this year. And with the barren market for a top flight closer, he will surely get it. Read More »
This Saturday marks the highly comical return of Carl Pavano to the decimated Yankee rotation. With the Yanks sitting six games out of the Wild Card spot and just over a month to play, will he provide enough of a boost for the Bronx Bombers to reach the playoffs for the thirteenth consecutive year? Or will he only provide enough to boost his own personal checking account this off-season?
The timing for Pavano’s latest comeback attempt is convenient enough to weasel yet another lucrative contract offer out of another team looking for starting pitching depth - something that all 30 teams are interested in. If he comes on strong in the final five weeks of the season and shows flashes of returning to his 2004 form, will another team pay a hefty salary in hopes that he can anchor the number two or three spot in their rotation?

“He’s a big time slugger with an attitude to match, but he also may be baseball’s last honest warrior.”
The media has fed us over and over how this guy is not a team player and a traitor to the NLBPA, but that is crap. If you don’t believe that read Frank Thomas is “The Natural” on Maxim Online.
I have always been a fan of “The Natural,” and lately he gets treated like a 3rd tier player. He got lost in the steroid era and can now get dropped into the obscurity of over-the-hill players who try to command high salaries.

Sports are arguably too important in the average guy’s life. Guys are the ones arguing against that point. Sports cause guys to skip family events and work obligations for meaningless mid-season games and preseason action. Yet there is the negative half of sports; the kinds of things that make the average guy cringe at when he spends his average 60 hours a week “with” his favorite teams. Now there can be a number of things guys hate about sports, but I thought I’d come up with just a few:

Stop kissing Josh Hamilton’s ass. He doesn’t deserve all the praise and he certainly doesn’t deserve to be called a hero or a role model or a good influence. He was a complete f**k up, but because he’s can still play baseball better than almost anyone else alive we should praise him? No.
Yes, he was addicted to cocaine and crack for years. Yes, the fact that he seems to have made a full recovery is impressive (overcoming any addiction that overwhelms a person like that is impressive), but he’s not a great guy because of it. He should be working his way back to being an OK guy. Half a season of good baseball doesn’t clear him of all the bad sh*t he did before. Read More »
