Shocker #2! Mets Make Smart Deal! Land Bay!

As a Mets and Red Sox fan, today is an interesting day for me to say the least.  Jason Bay, it’s being reported, has accepted an offer to join the Mets.  Pending passing a physical, Bay will be playing in Queens next year.
I know the Mets track record in free agency isn’t the greatest.  And that’s [...]

Tonight, My DVR Killed The Red Sox!

Yes, I’m a Red Sox fan.  Yes, getting swept in the Bronx this past weekend was pretty hard to take, but my DVR made it even worse tonight.
Earlier this evening, I was watching a show called “Baseball Seasons” on one of the many sports channels my TV package includes.  My seven year old son, who [...]

Jim Rice Deserved The Hall Of Fame More Than Rickey Henderson!

Good news today for me as a big part of my childhood was validated.  I grew up in the New York area rooting for the Red Sox.  My Junior High memories consist largely of fending back the taunts of the many Yankee fans who were my classmates during the awful summer of ‘78.
One of the few things [...]

WTF! Yankees Sign Teixeira And Unleash A Bucketful of Questions!

Sports Illustrated is reporting on their web site that the Yankees just got bigger and badder.  With money seemingly seemingly flowing like water out of the Bronx this winter, the Yanks just hauled in Mark Teixeira with an eight year, $180 million dollar deal.
Here are some thoughts from a slightly biased Red Sox fan:
This explains [...]

Signing CC! Not An Ace Move?!

Here was the state of the Yankee pitching staff as the free agent market opened up.  Their most consistent pitcher, Chien Ming Wang doesn’t deliver come playoff time and had arm trouble last season.  Their best pitcher last year, Mike Mussina, decide to forgo a shot at 300 wins and just retire.  That should tell [...]

Cowboys, Giants And More Government Aid Than You Can Shake A Stick At!

It’s been crazy at work, so I , thought I’d just jot down some quick thoughts that have hit me over the head lately…

Follow Up! Yankee Dynasty Still Dead! Steinbrenner Hard At Work Whining Already!

Here’s some of what Hank Steinbrenner wrote in a column for Sporting News this week according to the Daily News:

New York Yankees Eliminated! Dynasty Dead!

It finally happened tonight.  The Yankees were eliminated from baseball’s postseason.  Even more delicious for this Red Sox fan was that it was a Boston victory that knocked them out.
With Boston’s win over the Indians tonight, the Yankees 1,000 year playoff streak was finally broken.  Millions and millions of hours of my prayers and church [...]

Tale of Two (Baseball Cities)! AKA – Will There Be Another 1986?

When it comes to baseball, the year I was most confused was 1986.  In the World Series that year, the Boston Red Sox played the New York Mets.  I grew up a Mets fan, but at a young age in the mid-70s with the Mets stuck in loser gear, young me decided I need another [...]
