Yankees Make Mockery of Baseball »

This observer witnessed something in New York City the last couple of days. On Tuesday night, New York City mayor Mike Bloomberg bought himself another term by defeating New York City comptroller William Thompson in an mayoral election that the Democratic candidate had no chance of winning. Last night, the Yankees bought themselves their 27th [...]

Yankees Win No. 27, but What’s Wrong with This »

No, this is not an rant against the Evil Empire, I actually believe the Yankees winning it all periodically is a good thing, for baseball without the spirit of its ghosts just wouldn't be the same.  No, the article title is to be taken quite literally, I'm miffed about the trophy ceremony itself, where Commissioner Bud Selig first handed his [...]

An Honest Interview Where the New York Yankees Admit »

Unthinkable! After the New York Yankees won the World Series of Baseball for the first time since 2000 I had a chance to sit down with some of the players, namely Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez (herein referred to as A-Rod), and World Series MVP Hideki Matsui! What followed was an honest interview between three celebrity baseball players dosed with [...]

You Can’t Buy a World Series, So Stop »

I am from Connecticut.  I am a DIEHARD Red Sox fan.  And I know one thing about the New York Yankees—there is no other team more deserving of a championship in 2009. I can already read what the comments on this message board will say: "They just bought their title"..."Girardi's terrible, anyone could manage that roster"..."ARod and Pettite [...]

Yankees, Not Red Sox, Were MLB’s Team of the »

The New York Yankees defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 7-3 Wednesday night in the Bronx to win their record 27th World Series championship.   The Yankees, who went 103-59 to establish 2009's best mark in Major League Baseball, simply outclassed the Phillies over the course of six games.   “I really believe in this club,” said Yankees [...]

New York Yankees: The Best Team That Money Can Buy »

The Yankees' 27th World Series title is a testament to what money can buy. The Yankees bid farewell to high-priced (but aging or diminished) players like Mike Mussina, Carl Pavano, Jason Giambi, and Bobby Abreu last offseason, and then replaced them with younger, fresher free agents. The team signed CC Sabathia, Mark Teixeira and A.J. Burnett in [...]

Just Another Article About The Yankees »

This picture disturbs me. Why, you may ask? Well, if C.C. Sabathia, A.J. Burnett, Mark Teixeira, and Nick Swisher had not come to the Bronx... THIS PICTURE WOULD NOT EXIST!!!!! Why is everybody crediting the coach for the team's success? Let's take a flashback. 2008 NBA Finals Doc Rivers, just a year before, had coached the Celtics to a 24-58 [...]

Yankees Postscript: How to Make a Dynasty »

With all the cards now on the table, and the trophy safe in Derek Jeter's arms, the overwhelming majority of fans are going to remember 2009 as the year Alex Rodriguez broke out in October, and call that the Reason they won. And in the grand scheme of things, they won't be completely wrong—but they won't be entirely right, either. Over the [...]

Yankees Win! What’s Next for the World Series »

With all of the hullabaloo surrounding the New York Yankees winning their 27th World Series title, I figured I would weigh in. It's a well-known fact to anyone that knows me that I am a huge New York Mets fan. So this year, with the World Series being played between the Yankees and the Mets' bitter enemy, the Philadelphia Phillies, there was no [...]

How the New York Yankees Finally Reclaimed »

  The pain of giving up two runs in the bottom of the ninth inning in Game Seven of a gut-wrenching 2001 World Series defeat to the Arizona Diamondbacks has finally been alleviated. The shame of falling to an overmatched Florida Marlins team in six games in the 2003 World Series is now an afterthought. The sheer humiliation and infamy of allowing [...]
