OMG, you guys. Last night’s games were, like, totes lame, right? Seriously though, one of those games was won on an error and a bases-loaded walk, while the other was won on three errors. That’s shitty baseball. I was super psyched to see Pedro pitch (and he didn’t disappoint), and to see the Yanks/Angels series [...]

So now that the Yankees have advanced in the playoffs, in no small part due to the offensive production of Alex Rodriguez, can we now stop talking about how he “isn’t clutch,” or “folds under pressure,” or “can’t do it when it matters most?” Seriously, I’ve lived in New York for the entire time A-Rod [...]

John Sterling is the local New York Yankees radio announcer. To say the least, he is a “character”. That’s just me being polite. Listening to Sterling is like listening to your almost-senile grandparent commentate about something they completely don’t understand, like the internet: “Oh…and the young man is pushing a square button and…hold on…something on [...]

For those of you that haven’t seen any of the playoff games, good for you. I guarantee you were doing something better. And for those of you, like me, who have watched them closely: I’m sorry. Seriously. These games have sucked. My eyes want a refund. Here’s my break down:
Rockies at Philly Game 1
BORING! Normally [...]

During the All-Star break, JD and I got together to make our second half predictions for playoff teams, award winners, etc. I know hindsight is 20/20, but man, we were WAY off. Here’ the first half covering the AL:

Pat just sent me this link which led to the following exchange:
Me: Nice article. Your fanbase is generally made up of terrible people.
Pat: In all seriousness, man, it’s fucking terrible. I hate it. I’m so glad I’m in NY and not f#cking MA. You’re absolutely 200% right, terrible people. One of my best friends is [...]

This past Saturday, JD and I went out for a drink at our favorite bar. Aside from all the regulars and the obnoxious loud drunks there was an old guy sitting next to me quietly nursing a shot of scotch and a beer. After a couple hours of hanging out, he turns to JD and [...]

I’m trying to tread carefully here, but this needs to be talked about. And I’m a Gentile, so just want to say that I’m not trying to piss anyone off. Only Yankees fans.
Last Sunday, I was watching the Cardinals play the Cubs on ESPN. Don’t ask me why I watched this instead of the Giants/ [...]

You want to hate him. You TRY to hate him. You probably tell other people you hate him. But you don’t. You can’t. Yeah, you might be a little jealous that Derek Jeter tied the Iron Horse’s hit record and then waived to Minka “Lyla” Kelly (seriously, has anyone in the history of sports done [...]

Most people who attempt to throw with their non-dominant arm have an extremely hard time. I was once called a queer for attempting to do so, and as a result I haven’t tried to throw lefty since. However, there is at least one exception to the rule.
Pat Venditte is a switch [...]
