Yanks shouldn't even consider A-Rod at shortstop
For the moment, the New York Yankees are saying they don't expect shortstop Derek Jeter to go on the disabled list with a quad injury. But Joe Girardi wasn't exactly shrugging off the injury either, saying, "We're keeping our fingers crossed" that he won't be sidelined for more than a week....

A great short stop is not just a guy who can make a spectacular diving stop with a gun for an arm but also the quarterback of the infield. Jose Reyes under Jerry Manuel's prodding and tutelage is taking the next step in his development. Yesterday, Manuel stood behind Reyes during the ...

Mets fans are cautiously optimistic that the recent performance of their shortstop might represent the return of the old Jose Reyes. The Jose Reyes that dazzled with his bat, his speed, and his boundless enthusiasm. Jose is 6-for-9 with 3 singles, a double, a triple, and a home run in two games against the Washington Nationals this week.
If the Jose that fans came to know and...

Eh Tu, Joe Torre?
My old man used to have a saying: "Don't be stupid, ya moron."Don't be stupid, ya moron. Strikingly obtuse, yet somewhat eloquent in it's own simplicity, the motto is actually a stroke of genius which should be etched along side E Plurbius Unum on the Great Seal of the United States. In fact, it is somewhat ironic that the architects of the idea that a new nation would have soul...
New York Met Fans
Ok Met fans. It has been a tough couple of years. Talent-filled teams each of the last two years combined with a high payroll and of course high expectations. I can boldly, but not gladly, say the Mets' last two years were probably the most heartbreaking of any professional sports team in the last two years. Granted, I said heartbreaking, not worst. I consider a heartbreaking year...

Most of the major sports outlets are making a huge deal about the occasion but I could personally care less. Maybe once the season is over and I'm convinced that the Yankees won't come back from the dead to make the...

The Mets have acquired reliever Luis Ayala from the Washington Nationals in exchange for minor league middle infielder Anderson Hernandez.
Hernandez, best known during his cup of coffee in the majors for being Jose Reyes's best buddy, was hitting just .188 this season in Triple-A New Orleans, and Argenis Reyes had clearly blown past him on [...]
