In last night’s World Series game 1, Chase “Dapper Dan” Utley hit two homers to break a stalemate between Cliff Lee and CC Sabathia. Eventually, the Phillies went on to score a few more runs against the Yankees bullpen after Utley “Chase-d” CC from the game (see what I did there?). And Cliff Lee went [...]

The World Series is here! There are so many cool angles to this matchup. There are the two best lineups in baseball, two great three-man rotations, former teammates and back-to-back Cy Young winners CC Sabathia and Cliff Lee facing off in game 1 (and maybe more than once), Pedro vs. the Yankees in a contest [...]

Today on Sausage links we have a feature instead of multiple links. This is a piece about how depressing it is to be a Cleveland Indians fan right now because you have to watch your consecutive Cy Young winners, CC Sabathia and Cliff Lee, pitch against each other in the World Series for teams other [...]

The Yankees beat the Angels last night to advance to the World Series for the first time since 2003. They also haven’t won since 2000. Did you know that? Because apparently they are supposed to win every year. A whole 6 years since they’ve been there? And we somehow survived? 8 years since they’ve won, [...]

The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim (yes that is still their stupid name) are facing elimination today in their playoff series against the Yankees. Normally when the Angels have their back against the wall they turn to their mascot of come-from-behind wins, the Rally Monkey. Unfortunately they could find no comfort in their primate friend, [...]

You like that title? Does it’s cheesiness bother you? I’m actually positive that some newspaper out there is running that exact title without any sense of how reprehensible it is. News papers love puns and sh*t. Anyway, the Phillies clinched their World Series birth yesterday after having a 9 inning victory lap around the Dodgers. [...]

So earlier today I said that I had been wrong in calling the Yanks/Angels series non-competitive. Then the Yankees made the Angels toss their salads on live television. CC versus Kazmir is supposed to be a good pitchers duel, which it was for the first few scoreless innings. You would have thought that CC would [...]

ESPN baseball analyst Steve Phillips proved why he doesn’t work for any teams after being fired by the Mets. Phillips just said on air that he didn’t think the Yankees should start CC Sabathia today because starters on short rest in the playoffs historically have a worse record than when they start on a full [...]

Yesterday I said that neither series in the baseball playoffs was competitive. And though the Phillies won in dramatic fashion in a close game, I’m right about that one. It’s 3-1 and the Phillies are sure to win the series with their superior rotation and lineup. However, the Yankees/Angels series turned an interesting page. The [...]

I was at the Yankees/Angels game on Saturday night. It was an amazing game. It was a test of wills, both for the teams playing and for the fans that stood for 6 hours in the cold, wind, and rain to see who would come out on top of this grueling endurance contest. Personally, I [...]
