The Yankee bats were too much for Cole Hamels and the Phillies, and to top off the suck, it was A-Rod who got things started. With the Phillies up 3-0 in the 4th and Mrs. Tex on first, A-Rod hit an opposite-field shot off a camera face to get on the board. Originally ruled a double...

Honestly, Mazz, I know you need to sell papers and whatnot, so you need to be "controversial" and say things like "Hey, let's all root for the Yankees 'cause it'll get the Sox' front office to spend money."But even though I know you're speaking...

Red mentioned the possibility a while ago but now it has become a reality: Pedro will pitch in Yankee Stadium. For me, this may be the highlight of the 2009 World Series. Unless, of course, A-Rod makes the series-ending error and collapses into a puddle of tears and lip gloss, or CC...

I'm fairly certain that A-Rod is no stranger to the art of sliding under some dude's legs. But even I was amazed at the blatant elbow-chop he put on Erick Aybar's nutsack while trying to break up a double play during last night's ALCS game. For those who missed it,...
