The New York Yankees Lost to the Better Team in the »

There will much discussion in the coming days concerning the New York Yankees' failing to reach their mission statement of defending their World Series title. Their mission was no secret; it was even on their manager's back. Title No. 28. If the Yankees had obtained the World Series victory, then and only then would their season have been [...]

How the New York Yankees Blew Up a Dynasty »

It's been three years since the Joe Girardi era began in New York. Three seasons and one World Series ring later, I still hate the guy. The New York Yankees faced elimination last night in Texas as "Mr. MVP" Josh Hamilton and the Texas Rangers were staring their first World Series appearance in the face. The Rangers finished the job, they beat not [...]

New York Yankee Fans: Be Proud, Be Grateful »

Just a day removed from the Yankees elimination, it isn’t hard to find a disappointed New Yorker. The beloved Yankees are done for the year, and their dreams of a second consecutive world championship are diminished. As many love to do, we can sit here and talk about what could have happened and what should have happened. We can talk about [...]

New York Yankees: Why the ALCS Series Loss Is the End »

The Rangers beat the Yankees four games to two in the 2010 ALCS, and with the loss, the great New York Yankees season is over.  Many players are gong to free agency, and the managerial spot for the Yankees is very much so up in the air.  Let's start with Derek Jeter.  The Yankee captain is one of the most likely to sign back with [...]

I think it finally sunk in for me right around the time Josh Hamilton was explaining to a live television audience how God allows him to hit baseballs far.The Yankees were done. Dead. Finito. Their quest to repeat as world champions had come to an abrupt end in, of all places, the land of Friday Night Lights.How did we get here?No sport approaches [...]

ALCS 2010: Why the New York Yankees Lost »

Let me start by saying congratulations to the Texas Rangers. The Rangers are the ALCS Champions and well deserve to be just that after winning Game 6 against the New York Yankees, 6-1. It is a first World Series appearance for the Texas Rangers organization. Texas will face either the Philadelphia Phillies or the San Francisco Giants, who are [...]

ALCS 2010: Which Members of the New York Yankees »

Four days ago, I would have said Joe Girardi. Actually, I would have shouted it. I thought he had made one of the biggest blunders in managing history. It was Game 4 and A.J. Burnett was on the mound and he actually had a lead. The Yanks were up 3-2 in the top of the sixth inning and Nelson Cruz was standing on second base. He had wisely tagged on [...]

New York Yankees: Why the MLB Hot Stove Just Got a »

What do the years 2001, 2003 and 2010 all have in common? They all involve deep playoff runs and subsequent disappointing playoff exits for the New York Yankees. Following the 2001 and 2003 seasons, the Yankees acquired a dynamic hitter and veteran pitcher in each offseason, Jason Giambi and Mike Mussina after '01 and [...]

Yankees Message To Miami Heat: You Can’t Buy A »

“In this fall, this is very tough, in this fall I'm going to take my talents to South Beach and join the Miami Heat.” With that one sentence, a city that once loved NBA superstar LeBron James began to burn his jerseys, t-shirts and anything else with the number 23 on it. He had become the second most hated man in the city, second only [...]

Colby Lewis Spectacular, Fuels Texas Rangers To »

It is hard to fathom a better ending. Former Texas Ranger Alex Rodriguez, who once signed for a quarter of a billion dollars and juiced with the team, was at the plate. Closer Neftali Feliz was on the mound, ready to get the one out that the franchise has always been waiting for. An adrenaline-filled fastball missed for ball one, but then three [...]
