The vaunted Derek Jeter, Mr. New York himself, committed a playoff edition of The Howard last night in the Yankees wacky win over the Angels. Too bad ESPN's Baseball Tonight or the MLB Network hasn't picked up on this stat yet, or we'd have ourselves one helluva story.___________________...

I love Billy Wagner. I thought we could take a break from playoff fever and Rockies talk (especially because I got to see two innings from the last three games...) and talk about our old friend because he had some interesting comments yesterday. When asked if he might retire, The Rat...
