It’s nice to know that Colby Rasmus isn’t letting his latest slump bring down his inner fashionista. The former Cardinals outfielder, who has one hit in his last 40 at bats and who has struck out in nine of his last 10 times at the plate – and 18 times in his last eight games — has apparently decided to celebrate the occasion by going Bo Derek and finding himself a salon...

Blue Jays outfielder Colby Rasmus is mired in a 1 for 37 slump dating back to August 15th. Apparently early batting practice and extra time in the cage hasn’t helped, so he decided to do the next best thing. He made himself ugly.

Colby Rasmus did not win Monday's game, but he made possible the victory that ended Toronto's seven-game losing streak. His three-run homer with two outs in the ninth put the Blue Jays ahead 7-6, and they went on to defeat the New York Yankees 8-7 in 11 innings. The center fielder has been in a terrible slump, from his hitting to his fielding to his hair style. He had...

When Mariano talks, Rafael Soriano listens.
The career saves leader was watching when his fill-in gave up a three-run homer in the ninth inning of the Yankees' extra-inning loss Monday night and had some thoughts. So the injured star sought out Soriano when he visited the clubhouse Tuesday afternoon and gave him some advice.

Last night's Yankee loss to the Blue Jays left me angry and frustrated. Rafael Soriano picked the worst time to blow a save and Derek Lowe chose the wrong time to forget how to play defense. The team's lead in the AL East is back down to 3 and 1/2 games and it's hard not to worry about the remaining games in this stretch run of the season.But that's not what this...

The Boston sports scene has appeared to quiet down now that the Red Sox have completed their monstrous trade with the Dodgers. But former Red Sox star and current Yankees reliever Derek Lowe knows that it's just the calm before the storm. "Clearly, they're making a statement," Lowe told the New York Times on Saturday as news of the trade being finalized filtered...

From a quick glance at his stats, we’re going to go ahead and assume that Colby Rasmus’ brief foray into the world of cornrows was done as an atypical method of busting his most recent slump. On Base Percentage down a few ticks? Braiding your hair can cure that. Pretty sure Bill James came up with [...]

At some point after the New Orleans Saints evened their preseason record to 2-2 despite the fiery hell wishes of NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, Lance Moore made a decision. The oft-promising 28-year old receiver stood in front of his locker, stared at something he picked up at an LMFAO garage sale and thought, “Yes, this is the outfit that I’d like to wear to address the media...

NEW YORK -- Rafael Soriano has done a pretty good impression of Mariano Rivera in the results department, if not the style category, for most of this season. But after blowing just his third save of the year in a stunning loss for the New York Yankees on Monday, Soriano got some tutoring on Tuesday from the injured legend he replaced. Rivera's advice apparently helped, as...

Brian Cashman didn’t want him. The fans didn’t understand the signing but the Yankee’s ownership saw something in Rafael Soriano that everyone else did not. Soriano has accomplished what has for over a decade been unthinkable, he’s stepped into the shoes of future Hall of Famer, Mariano Rivera.
Let me be clear. Rivera is the best closer there is, has been and ever will...

Rafael Soriano giving up three hits and three runs turned out to be the least of the New York Yankees’ worries following last night’s let down loss to the Toronto Blue Jays.

Teixeira apparently experienced tightness in his left calf subsequent to...

I was in a foul mood after last night's debacle -- the Yankees should have won that game. Unfortunately -- or perhaps fortunately! -- I was having problems with my television's cable box and remote, so I went from seeing the Yankees ahead by three runs, to seeing that the Toronto Blue Jays went ahead for good in the 11th (which means I missed both Rafael Soriano giving up...

NEW YORK -- They needed this type of outing from Phil Hughes. The New York Yankees also needed Rafael Soriano to come right back after his blown save Monday, and they got just the performance they needed from both players in a 2-1 win over the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday night. Hughes threw seven innings of one-run ball, allowing Adeiny Hechavarria's first major-league home...
