What player chased the fewest bad pitches in the major leagues last year? And who was the best at turning pitches that would have been called balls into hits? This article looks at the best and the worst in 2007, and you can look up where any player ranks in the league when faced with out of the strike zone.

Michael Kay loves your free stuff

In the event you head to Yankee Stadium on a giveaway day expecting free stuff, only to find out it's already gone when you arrive, Paul O'Neill knows where you can find it. Play-by-play man Michael Kay has it. In a priceless moment during last night's otherwise forgettable 5-2 loss to Toronto, O'Neill called out Kay when it comes to the freebies.

New York Sports Talk Radio Just Got a Lot More Boring

Over the past week or so I've heard an advertisement on ESPN 1050 about Colin Cowherd's debut on the network next week from 12-2. This confused me. Were they going to take an hour away from Max Kellerman's 10-1 show? Why would they do that when it's by far the most entertaining show they have? If they're going to do that I'd imagine it would completely...

Michael Kay Proves Baseball Gods Have It Out for Me

Honestly, You Have Got to Be Kidding MeSometimes you just wonder if the baseball gods have it out for you. I just returned home from a lovely dinner with my fiancee. She wanted to rush back to the apartment in order to check out the Palin-Biden debate she'd DVR'd earlier this morning. Personally, I can't stand to watch it. Should I? Yes. Can I? No. It's just too painful...

Even Current Athletes Hate Skip Bayless

I've known certain athletes that have had issue with Skip Bayless before (Troy Aikman), but you rarely here about active athletes taking issue with the guy. Well that's not the case anymore as Billy Wagner ripped the Skipper on the Michael Kay Show yesterday. Via The Sports Point...."Everybody wanted to make this out to be so much more than it was. And it really got...

Van Gundy Has a Very Bright Idea for Marbury

Jeff Van Gundy was on the Michael Kay show on 1050 ESPN Radio and made the point that right now Stephon has no leverage and the Knicks have all the leverage. The Knicks will be content with just letting him rot and paying him while Steph wants to get his money but still play. Because of this Steph needs something to put in his favor Van Gundy has this great idea, hire Lebron James...

Mariano & The All Star Game:

Like my main Matthew always says, "So the last shall be first, and the first last." Like Michael Kay said. Michael Kay is on the radio today.

Sum Up Of the Defensosaurus's First Day

If there's one day that was the longest day in Rex Ryan's life, my guess was it was yesterday. First he had his long press conference taking question from all of the media outlest. Than he made the rounds. He seemingly was interviewed by every single media outlet in New York City. He was on Michael Kay on 1050, Mike Francessa on WFAN, the Boomer show on MSG, I'm sure...

So What Else Is New?

You. Have got to be. Kidding me. Is it possible that the 9th inning of tonight's game could have gone any worse? Holy freeholy. The go-ahead run scores on a wild pitch. Justin Christian gets picked off. And the Yankees, in typical Yankee fashion, leave the bases loaded. Yankees lose. Thuhhh Yankees lose. So what else is new?My jaw hit the floor when Justin Christian...
