Ever since George Steinbrenner rode off into the sunset and left the prestigious New York Yankees in the hands of his sons and mastermind Brian Cashman, the franchise hasn’t fared too well. As the Yankees stand on the crossroads of 2008, riddled by injuries and personal moves that just haven’t panned out, one could think old George would come back and try and right the ship. One could think a conversation between him and Cashman would sound something like this… 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?

Coaches, GMs, owners, players and fans are calling for monumental changes to America’s game.
Most likely will be the addition of instant replay so we don’t have any Jeffrey Maier situations, and the regulation of maple bats as they have been shattering at a record pace and it is only a matter of time before someone get seriously injured.
Less likely (but still on the plate) are new draft regulations that will put a cap on how much power top prospects like Seton Hall’s Rick Porcello and their agents Scott Boras has over teams vying for talent.
Oh sh*t, I forgot about Hank Steinbrenner who has a strong opinion of the NL after the Yankees’ star pitcher Wang was injured running the bases saying, “My only message is simple: The National League needs to grow up and join the 21st century. I’ve got my pitchers running the bases, and one of them gets hurt. He’s going to be out. I don’t like that, and it’s about time they address it. That was a rule from the 1800s.”
But what about banning over sized body armor or pointing to the sky after crossing home plate? Or the $2 hot dog rule and outlawing sushi from concession stands?
These are the New Rules Of Baseball that have been submitted by fans across America and outlined by CBS Sportsline. Although ridiculous, some of these rules make a lot of sense–and should be tested in the minor leagues.
If I had my way, I’d implement a Boni Jovi rule that would call the music legend to perform during the 7th inning stretch of every game Yankee game until the end of the season. That’s a little unrealistic and being from New Jersey, I’m biased. So for now, we’ll just have to settle for a free Bon Jovi All-Star game concert at Central Park.

Is Roger Clemens Guilty?
Loading ...The news of Sean Taylor’s death has rocked the sports world. But just when you start losing your faith in humanity (or whatever is bothering you at the moment) we get a small glimmer of hope like this.
Disability Week took place in August, and a man with autism was chosen to sing the national anthem. He got a case of the nervous giggles halfway through; but listen to what the Fenway crowd does to support him.
I’m a Yankees fan but I gotta give it up to Red Sox fans for being extra classy when it counts:
Oh how the mighty have fallen.
Scott Boras, douche to the athletic-stars who personally leaked the LA Dodgers “A-Rod news” to COED Magazine, was marginalized by A-Rod and his wife today.
On their own, A-Rod, Hank Steinbrenner…and A-Rod’s wife…came up with an outline agreement for 10 years $275M. Seems like no one wants to blow hundreds of millions of dollars on a 3rd baseman - no matter what Scott Boras thinks.
This reminds us a man, who used to be in the spotlight every day, Mr. Drew Rosenhaus. Mr. Rosenhaus thought that he could create a market for overpriced talent. He tried with almost everyone he ever repped. DR was sure he could get TO the largest wide receiver contract to ever hit the NFL - think again Mr. Rosenhaus. Don’t get me wrong - sports agents need to essentially create a market value for their clients - but sometimes they go a little far.
Mr. Boras has Rosenhaus Syndrome. Read More »
The Red Sox won the World Series. The Yankees are in shambles and so is the college football Top 25! Kobe is out of LA and Chad is out of NY. Joe is coaching the Dodgers and Joe is coaching the Yankees!
Sports is moving at a mile a minute and to make a legitimate educated guess as to where the sports world will be 365 days from now would be near impossible.
This is why we turn to the readers and find out what they think will go down over the next year. Some predictions are logical, others a brilliant and the rest are completely retarded.
Check out the predictions and leave a comment with what you’re thinking!
Rory M: The New York Knicks will fire Isiah Thomas then make the playoffs, AND the College football championship is going to be an awful game with one (or two) of the teams not being the defined number one (or two), therefore forcing the league to go to a playoff format sometime in the future.
Rob B: A 5-foot Asian guy will win the NBA slam dunk contest (at half the cost of an American player) and US Mens Soccer team will make the World Cup semifinals.
Rory M (Round II): There will be a huge steroids scandal that will force the 2007 Red Sox to give up their title, and Tiki Barber will be involved in a crazy sex scandal. Read More »
New York Squeeze Play
The Mets lost (again). The Yankees won (again). As a result, each division race in the East got a little tighter Monday night. Just ask Philadelphia and Boston.

No matter how die hard of a fan you are for your home team, no matter how much you hate a certain team, or now matter how badly you want to see a player fail, there are a few players you must respect. Currently it seems hard to have respect for major leaguers at the end of what is known as “The Steroid Era.� Players have tarnished the game by using illegal enhancements, taking away from the beauty of America’s sport, which was previously all about alcoholism and womanizing.
There are still a handful of hard working players that have natural megastar talent and will shine for years to come without the use of drugs. I hate the Yankees, but as a baseball fan, I find it impossible to hate Alex Rodriguez. Read More »
