The Edmonton Oilers Twitter account (@NHL_Oilers) caught up with this guy during last night’s 3-1 home loss to Dallas. His name? Kim Martin. Not joking. Now that our meager NHL coverage is out of the way, let’s turn our attention to baseball. The Yankees got started last night with a 11-0 drubbing of USF. The real action gets going today with a full schedule highlighted by Yankees-Phillies. First pitch – 1:05. Indians-Reds at 3:05. Let’s get rolling!

From Tim Brown:On the morning of the first game they’d play since Game 5, the night the New York Yankees all went home for the winter, Alex Rodriguez stood before them and, according to witnesses, gave the sort of speech that wouldn’t have been possible five years ago.
Somebody else would have told the Yankees it was time to commit in body and soul to the next eight months...

The Yankees 25-man roster is virtually set after just one spring training game. Assuming everyone stays healthy, there are 11 “locks” on the pitching staff and 13 “locks” on the positional side. That leaves one roster spot open, will it be a twelfth pitcher, DH-type or additional middle-infield depth?
One name to keep an eye out for is Cesar Cabral. Selected in the December...

March 04, 2012
This past week, New York Yankees General Partner Hal Steinbrenner announced that for the 2014 season, the Yankees would have a payroll of $189 million.

Read: A-Rod becoming a leader in the clubhouse
Alex Rodriguez has been the highest paid Yankee for years, but for a long time he wasn’t a leader in the clubhouse. He was typically too busy putting his foot in his mouth to gain the respect of some of the elder statesmen so instead he deferred to Jorge Posada and the rest of the core four.
Things started to change in 2009 when he was outed as a steroid cheat, but with the...

Classic Yankees: Johnny Blanchard
One day, I’ll put up a post on one of the retired numbers, a Martin “Classic Yankee”, Reggie, Mickey, Maris, heck, I’ve already done Dickey.
The point is, people know about Ruth, Gehrig, Joe D., Mickey, etc., several times over. Their stories have been told countless times.
