Zell

My grandpa Danny passed away this past week a few months shy of his 88th birthday. This man was a real hero to me, as he helped out my father and grandmother raise me along with my brothers. I had a special relationship with him, considering he lived with me and it’s an opportunity...

joe-mauer

Twins_vs_tigers_f700
As expected, Joe Mauer nearly unanimously won the American League Most Valuable Player with Mark Teixeira and Derek Jeter second and third. Mauer tallied 387 votes, Mark Teixeira came in second with 225 and Derek Jeter pulled in a respectable 193 votes. Other Yankees receiving votes...

Damon 2 Base Steal

Bravesyankees_eace
Johnny Damon has already stated that he prefers to stay with the Yankees and in reality, who wouldn’t? According to Ken Rosenthal, Scott Boras is going to use Bobby Abreu’s 2 year/$19 million fleecing of the Angels as a baseline for Johnny Damon. As a Yankees fan, I have...

GooseGossage

World_series_gm7_8da6
22 years ago today, before some of us were born, Rich ‘Goose’ Gossage signed a free agent contract with the Yankees for 6 years/$2.75 million (Wow, wasn’t he a bargain!). As a reliever he was elected to play in 8 All Star games, a record that would stand until Mariano...

Joba Fist Pump

Vitaminwater_hosts_homers_252e
Over the weekend, Nick Cafardo over at boston.com mused that the Yankees are would likely get into the Halladay hunt if they started off any package with Joba Chamberlain and Phil Hughes. With a package like that, I highly doubt that the Yankees would throw in Austin Jackson, as they...

The Pierre Hotel

A few weeks ago, during the World Series, ESPN/Page 2 ran a column titled the Life of a Yankees wife which centered on Laura Posada. While it isn’t groundbreaking journalism here, it still is a decent read, especially while we wait for the Hot Stove to heat up. Also included...

Mike dunn

Well, the end of the season for the Surprise Rafters has come and passed, so it is time to let you know how the Yankees of tomorrow have done. Grant Duff (RHP) pitched 9.1 innings compiling an ERA of 2.89, 2 saves and an opposing batting average of .212 Mike Dunn (LHP) was 1-2 with a 4.35 [...]

Yankees Parade Baseball

Recently Jayson Stark published an article talking about MLB’s revenue sharing problems and proposed a minimum team salary among other things. It kind of goes along with my post earlier (Financial Envy?). Personally, I agree with most of his points. This should be mandatory reading...

GMs Meeting Baseball

John_lackey_delivers_b3f0
With the strike of madness, let the bidding for John Lackey, Jason Bay, Matt Holliday begin! Though this year, the Yankees aren’t as likely to spend more money than most 3rd world nations do in a year. Given, this year, the Yankees have are in a slight different position after...

Washington Redskins, Dallas Cowboys, New York Knicks, New York Mets, New York Rangers, New York Yankees, Chicago Cubs, Detroit Tigers. All these teams have something in common and it has nothing to do with amount of championships. All these teams are known to have high team payrolls...

Mariano Rivera 2009 WS

World_series_gm7_0028
It almost seems like yesterday that Shane Victorino grounded out against Mariano Rivera to end Game 6. Since then, Yankees Universe has worried about Johnny Damon, Hideki Matsui and Andy Pettitte among others. There was a moment during the celebration that made all Yankees’ fans...

David Robertson WS

During the 2009 Postseason one thing became very clear. The bridge to Mariano Rivera as compared to the regular season was slightly more shaky than thought it would be going into the Postseason. With Hughes and Chamberlain’s status for 2010 practically set, as of now, the bridge...

Granderson

Picimg_mlb_feb_28_3a17
With the pros and cos of Johnny Damon and Hideki Matsui already laid out, I think it is time that we lay out the pros and cons trading for Curtis Granderson, the CF for the Detroit Tigers. Recently, the New York Post has indicated that the Yankees would likely target Granderson and...

Chapman

Aroldis Chapman, a lefthanded Cuban pitcher who has been known to hit triple digits on the radar gun will soon be making close, if not more than $10 million a year. Currently, the Yankees, Mets and Red Sox (among other teams) are likely to court the Cuban Defector. While I fully support...

Derek Jeter-Mark Teixeira

90534960
It looks like Derek and Tex didn’t think they had enough accolades, as both of them claimed a Silver Slugger Award this season at their respective positions. Derek Jeter just won his fourth consecutive AL Silver Slugger Award, while batting .334AVG with 18HR, 66RBI, 107R and...

Guiliani

The below is a guest column written by Former New York Mayor, Rudy Guiliani on his love affair. It’s always nice to watch a Yankees game when I get the chance (As I am out of market) and to see Guiliani sitting there cheering as if he was just another 15 year old watching at [...]

VIA NESN.com: The Red Sox have a four-year, $60 million offer out to Jason Bay, but they are reportedly hunting for backup plans. World Series MVP Hideki Matsui appears to be one of them. According to NPB Tracker, citing a report from the Japanese outlet Nikkan Sports, the Red Sox...

As all of you probably remember, a few weeks ago I made quite a unique post…capturing every Sports Illustrated Yankees cover ever made. There were 74 total magazines. It looks like we can add a couple more to the collection. On November 09, 2009, Volume 111, Issue 18 came out...

Wang

As it stands now, Chien-Ming Wang is pretty far from most Yankees fan’s minds at this point in time and with good reason. Originally, the Yankees did not expect him to be on the mound until July 2010. After a recent trip to James Andrew, it is possible that CMW could be on a major [...]
