Jorge Posada: 2007 American League Most Valuable Fluke

Arod becomes the youngest to 500

As many of you know, I'm a huge New York Met's fan. This week though, as a Fantasy Owner, I hate to say it, but I Loved the New York Yankees. It really has been an amazing week for them. Since last Saturday, the Yankees have put up 71 runs, averaging 10+ runs a game. That, to me is amazing.

The 38-year old side winder is in the final year of a two-year $2.4 million contract. He appeared in 55 games this year and had a bullpen best ERA of 2.66, but because lefties are hitting .312 off him this season and he is supposedly the lefty specialist he was let go. Myers' replacement wasn't immediately announced but according to Newsday Jim Brower, who played last...

"With his recovery from elbow irritation progressing at a glacial pace, Bartolo Colon acknowledged Friday that he has never pitched at full strength this season and that he might not play again for the Angels in 2007." That's a blow for the Angels if Colon can't come back to the rotation this year.

We've heard speculation for the past year that the health of New York Yankees Owner George Steinbrenner is deteriorating. His public appearances have been infrequent and the once boisterous man known simply as "The Boss" is rarely heard from. Interesting article in the upcoming issue of Conde Nast Portfolio, which hits newsstands on August 15th. The article describes...

Alex Rodriguez hit 500…finally! Rodriguez added another chapter to his season long assault of the record books clubbing his 500th career homerun to become the youngest Major Leaguer to achieve the feat. Becoming the 22nd member to join the exclusive 500 homerun club at age 32 years and 8 days, A-Rod passed the previous record holder, Jimmie Foxx, by accomplishing the feat some 330 days earlier.

Reports are circulating that Yankees lefty specialist Mike Myers will be designated for assignment today, and that he'll be replaced by a veteran right-hander from Triple A. Huh?

Looks like the Angels have a small problem on their hands... The refuse can sit out for more than 12 hours before it is collected, a time lag that may help account for the 118 vermin violations that county officials logged at stadium kiosks and restaurants over the last 2 ½ years. Of those reports, 33 represent "major" violations, in which "rodent activity"...

Roger Clemens doesn't need the money, only apparently the gratification that he is still worth a lot of it. Having won two rings in his previous incarnation in The Bronx, he doesn't require another, nor more wins or strikeouts to bolster arguments that he is the best pitcher ever. That case was made years before one more return seemed like a good idea. Nevertheless, two...

Who will give up Alex Rodriguez's 800th career home run? Taking an in depth look into the future. Will it be Roger Clemens, one of his illegitimate children, or someone else?

The baseball Alex Rodriguez hit for his 500th home run may be worth as much as $100,000. Rodriguez is the youngest player to ever reach this milestone, and is a certain future Hall of Famer. The Yankees media relations director so far has been unsuccessful in his negotiations to get the ball back for Alex. His first offer included memorabilia from high-profile Yankees. If the...

The Sunday Baker's Dozen focuses on homeruns and football.... - The talk of baseball is about Barry and A-Rod - Has the shine come off Billy Beane - Who has the best seat at Yankee Stadium - Michael Irvin showed his emotions once again - The Bill Walsh coaching tree http://stilespoints.blogspot.com/

A sad sad day in my life...I'm sorry Hank I did all I could...and screw you A-Rod

In this edition of Valentine's Views somewhat regular 'Kudos & Wet Willies' feature, we honor Barry Bonds and Alex Rodriguez, while dishonoring Michael Strahan and David Beckham.
