RAMIRO MENDOZA RUMORS
Can this Yankees bullpen be as good as the championship pens?
When the Yankees won three consecutive World Championships at the end of the last decade, their bullpen was a big key to their success. Ramiro Mendoza, Mike Stanton(notes), Mariano Rivera(notes) and Jeff Nelson(notes) (clockwise) played pestilence, famine, war and death on the Yankees' opponents from 1998-2000.* Over those three title runs, the Yankees played 44 playoff games...

This is a Blasphemous Post
Yesterday, on our three hour ride back from the postponed Scranton doubleheader, Brent and I got into an argument about Alfredo Aceves.I maintained that the best comparison for what he's done this season is Ramiro Mendoza.Brent suggested the 1996 version of Mariano Rivera.As you might imagined, I laughed it off completely.And then Brent got me the stats.In 1996, Mariano had a...

Is Alfredo Aceves Ramiro Mendoza, Or Not?
The Yankees like to think of Alfredo Aceves as a 2009 version of Ramiro Mendoza. Mendoza was a jack of all trades on those late '90s Yankee championship teams, appearing as a starter and as both a long and short reliever for the team.When Aceves relieved CC Sabathia in the second inning of Sunday night's game against the Marlins in Florida, I was expecting a Mendoza-like...

New York Yankee fans asking Where have you gone Ramiro Mendoza as high priced free agents yield more drama than success
I was thinking back this afternoon as I watched the Yankees win there second game in what seems like a month. I was thinking about that team in 96, thinking about the lineup, the rotation and the pen. I don't remember it containing any superstars, do you? I mean this was the New York Yankees, yet with Mattingly having retired, Henderson playing elsewhere, and Winfield long...

What to Do With Chien-Ming Wang?
Through 3 1/2 weeks of the season Chien-Ming Wang has been the worst pitcher in major league baseball. He was so bad that the Yankees basically just told him to go on the Disabled List with "Hip abductor muscle weakness". And by that they mean incredibly bloated ERA. Last night marked a potential crossroads for Wang. Phil Hughes, the Yankees top prospect, filled in and...

Do You Like Baseball or Do You Not?
I have a simple question for you, the public, do you or do you not like baseball? It's a pretty simple yes or no question. If you do, than you should like the World Baseball Classic. If you don't than you shouldn't. It's really as simple as that. Instead of wasting time watching meaningless spring training games that absolutely nobody cares about, you get to watch...

Brewers Add 2 Former Yankees
The Miluwakee Brewers might have gotten jipped out of a first round draft pick(they got a second instead) this winter when they lost CC Sabathia to the Yankees, so instead they’ll add a pair of Bombers in separate moves.
The Brewers added recently added 25-year-old lefty Chase Wright who was recently DFA’d by the Yankees. They [...]

Mendoza Line...
Last night I completed a post in which I thought the Mets last spot in the bullpen should go to a veteran leader. Now I'm not one for bringing in older players but I think guys like Darren Oliver and Roberto Hernandez serve a purpose, of calming everyone down during rough times. Who knows better ...
