Just got done watching Joe Torre's interview on Larry King Live and all I have to say is man, Larry King looks a lot like a gargoyle. He's one creepy dude. As for the interview itself, I didn't get much out of it. I thought Joe did his best to answer the questions he was being asked without ...

The Yankees are going to be reporting to Spring Training in a few weeks, and Nady and Swisher are both on the team. Would it really be that bad to carry both of these players? If a deal doesn't get done..it's not like they can't use more depth. If they can somehow get a deal done for Adamn Dunn, then go for it…

Chad Jennings talks about the depth of pitching the Yankees now have.The Yankees have their five guys set for the start of the season in Sabathia, Wang, Burnett, Chamberlain, & Pettitte. The Yankees have a bunch of young players waiting in the wings to get a chance at the big league level, but it won't be that easy considering the Yankees have no spots opened with the addition...

Joe Torre will be on 'Larry King Live' tonight. The show will be on at 9:00PM ET on CCN. This will be the first chance Torre gets to explain himself, and tell the public why he chose to write the book. I'm sure Larry has come up with a lot of great questions…he always does. Torre always emphasized the idea that whatever happens in the clubhouse should stay in the clubhouse...

Over 100 free agents are still unsigned and don't look now, but pitchers and catchers report in 17 days.
Baseball's free agents are getting a taste of what it's like on Wall Street when companies fail to meet expectations... No good ever comes of it, and prices come crashing down... sometimes painfully so.
