Three of the most hysterical, knee-slapping, laugh out loud moments of mirth witnessed recently.
1. WAC Commissioner Karl Benson’s statement about the Boise State Broncos: “They certainly have established themselves as a credible, legitimate, bona fide top 10 team.”
— No offense to the coaches, players, fans and the guy who dipped too deep into the mushrooms just before suggesting a blue playing surface, but the day a college football team makes a run at the national title playing such powerhouses as Hawaii, Bowling Green and Tulsa is the day Megan ...
When the Yankees finished 89-73 and in third place of the American League East division, it found them out of the playoffs for the first time since 1993.
It was a tough thing to swallow for the Yankee fans, players and management. Which is why general manager Brian Cashman vowed changes. Changes for the better.
In November, the Yankees got cracking on how to fix their roster for the better.
Nick Swisher: Acquired from the Chicago White Sox for Wilson Betemit and two minor leaguers on Nov. 13, 2008
This may go down ...
As a citizen of Toronto, Canada, I am thrilled that the New York Yankees have won the World Series.
People around me have asked, "Shouldn't you be booing the New York Yankees because they knock out the Toronto Blue Jays from the playoffs every year?"
To those people I have responded, "It was necessary that the Yanks won their 27th World Series in order to save the league."
The Yankees' win means there will be no need for them to go out and buy the best players in the world in order ...
Hours after New York Yankees Manager Joe Girardi helped lead the Bombers to their elusive 27th World Series championship in team history Wednesday night, he stopped his car to help a female motorist who had crashed her vehicle into a wall on the Cross County Parkway in Eastchester.
“The guy wins the World Series, what does he do? He stops to help,” Westchester County police officer Kathleen Cristiano said of the 2006 National League Manager of the Year. “It was totally surreal.”
According to police reports, Marie Henry, 27, lost control ...
As promised, I will begin to count down the top 30 Yankee prospects with in-depth profiles of each guy.
I came up with an aggregate list based on our separate rankings over at Pending Pinstripes, and will use that to count down. To start, here are two guys I would've liked to include, but failed to make the aggregate cut:
Gary Sanchez, C: I'll readily admit that including Sanchez is a bit hasty, but there is just too much potential there to ignore.
The Yankees signed him for around $2.5 million, showing just ...
As soon as Mark Teixeira caught the ball, I started to think about pitchers and catchers reporting in February. The Yankees face several big questions on who to resign and how much to spend to ensure championship No. 28.
1. Let Matsui Go. This decision would of been a lot easier if it wasn't for Game 6. Although Matsui had a decent year (.274 28 90), he has become an issue in the lineup because of his limitations to the DH spot. I believe that no player should be just a ...
Like a good perfume smells better on Penelope Cruz, championships, perhaps, are best celebrated at baseball’s cathedral.
Whether you love them or hate them, you’re a capitalist or a socialist; the Yankees should be respected by every American because they are synonymous with winning and excellence.
By no means are the Yankees a model of perfection, however, but do you think you get to the top in America and stay there by shining everyone’s shoes?
Not only did they fire Joe Torre, but also proceeded to remind him on his way out that ...
On Saturday evening, Chicago Tribune writer Paul Sullivan reported that the Chicago Cubs could soon part ways with both pitcher Rich Harden and outfielder Reed Johnson. Jim Hendry, the Cubs General Manager, would love to re-sign both players but both are risky.
If the Cubs decide to re-sign Harden, they would probably offer a one year deal. The one year deal is probably the most years that Harden would get from several teams, because of his injury risk. Johnson would have to take a pay cut to stay in the Windy ...
Chien-Ming Wang is a member of the World Champion New York Yankees, for now.
The 29-year-old right-handed starter is eligible for arbitration this winter and the Yankees have until the December 12 deadline to offer him a contract for next season, something that doesn’t appear likely.
Wang, who is recovering from shoulder surgery, made $5 million last season after signing a one-year deal to avoid arbitration and is under team control for two more seasons.
It is largely rumored that the Yankees aren’t expected to offer him a contract, thus making him a ...
The New York Yankees just finished celebrating their 27th World Series championship. Nov. 7, 2009, was just another day of cleaning up after a great ticker-tape parade down the Canyon of Heroes.
But for the New York Yankees' twin in Japan, the celebration is just getting started. The Yomiuri Giants have just captured their 21st championship in the Japanese baseball title series.
Yankee fans can now see why the Japanese team has been compared to them in the past few years.
Just like the New York Yankees, the Yomiuri Giants did not fare ...
