Alright! Enough! I have absolutely had it with managers who add a “y” to end of a player’s name and there it is: a new nickname. It’s unoriginal and unimaginative bullshit. I’m talking to you Francona and Girardi. You two are the biggest culprits. Recently, one of my new favorite Yankees, catcher Francisco Cervelli, was [...]

Prior to yesterday’s game, the U.S Men’s National Team sucked really badly in the FIFA Confederations Cup. However, lucky for them, the Italians sucked just as much. [...]
Really? Are you surprised? I’m not. After all, he did cork his bat. It almost looks like they share a secret.
Sorry Frankie, but you knew what you were getting into. The Mets are the opposite of Mark Teixeira hustling from first on a routine pop-up to win the game. That would never even occur to them. Honestly, can you even picture Jose Reyes doing that?
Every season the Mets begin with a seemingly (although sometimes only [...]
