The future of the Yankees arrived tonight, and his name if Philip Hughes. It seems like we have been hearing about Hughes forever, and to some he has been a bust. Well, tonight he came into his own. Five innings, three hits, two runs, and six strikeouts. And one of the runs scored after he was [...]
The Yankees could not have asked for a better start. Okay, they could have won six straight, but four out of six on the road against the Red Sox and the Rays is damned fine. Especially considering that they lost the first game of each series. High notes so far include the following. First, Curtis Granderson [...]
With Halladay to the Phillies and Lackey to the Sox, the Mets need to get creative to improve their rotation. I’m not saying either of these Aces wanted to pitch for the Mets, but now that it’s a sure thing they won’t, the Mets need to react. Ben Sheets/Erik Bedard are great when healthy, but [...]
I’m more than content. Cliff Lee was lights out for the Phillies, they have less payroll flexibility for 4 years, and the Phillies could have had both Lee & Halladay leading that rotation together. Halladay; Lee; Hamels; Happ; Blanton/Drabek/Moyer would have been Lights Out. Also I think some other moves fall into place now. The Mariners upgraded [...]
I wrote on facebook: “Congratulations to the most spoiled fans in the world, however… Thank you…Becasue I hate the Phillies with a Passion” to which a Yankee friend replied, “But Dan, they’re are 3rd graders who haven’t seen this yet” to which I replied but there are 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th 9th 10th 11th [...]
The Red Sox kicked off their offseason quickly, acquiring Jeremy Hermida from the Marlins just hours after the Yankees won the World Series (insert vomitingsound here). The Sox gave up minor league southpaws Hunter Jones and Jose Alvarez for Hermida, the 11th overall draft pick in 2002. He hasn’t performed up to expectations for the [...]
All season long I have excoriated Joe Girardi in this space. I have repeatedly noted his numerous deficiencies. That list included his incessant overmanaging, his tendency to tighten up in the clutch, his rampant insecurity, and his unwillingness to let the players decide the game. I have called him incompetent, clueless, and just plain lousy. [...]
The Yankees are world champions. Truth and justice have triumphed over evil. Actually, the triumph over evil occurred when the Red Sox were eliminated. But now the Yankee haters in the media and in the hinterlands are once again attempting to belittle the Yankees’ victory. Over and over the talking heads on ESPN, Yahoo, and other [...]
Tonite the Yankees won their 27th World Championship, besting a very good Phillies team 7-3 to win the Series in six games. There are many reasons to have what one of my old teachers referred to as a Moment of Gloat. (And we will.) But for now, the feeling is one of tremendous gratitude. To the [...]
Wow, it has been a long time since I have been able to post here! I just got married, and boy were times crazy…but a good type of crazy! Anyway, when we last left off, the Mets had a chance, the Mets had hope, the Mets were looking half decent…but here we are now…and as the [...]
In 1977, the Yankees took a 3-games-to-1 lead over the Dodgers in L.A., lost Game Five decisively, and then came back to the Bronx to win the Series in Game Six in a game in which Reggie Jackson hit 3 homeruns to become “Mr. October.” This is what we as Yankees fans hope will happen tonite. [...]
My Girardi-loving sons have been responsible for recent posts on this site praising the efforts of the Yankee manager. I shall now inject a note of rationality into their fantasy land. Girardi is a lousy manager, and he proved it tonight. Against all logic, he chose to start AJ Burnett on short rest. And predictably, Burnett [...]

What do you get when you pit two teams with shaky bullpens but who won’t quit against each other? Another nailbiter of a game which, fortunately for the Yankees, will qualify for Yankees Classics, as the Yanks took Game Four 7-4 with a clutch two-out, 3-run 9th inning. Joe Blanton did all that could be reasonably [...]
