A favorite pastime of many, including myself, is making fun of Yankees fans. Now that they're fans of a harmless little non-playoff team, like the Orioles and Royals, I'm taking up for them. Screw the Red Sox and their pink-hatted bandwagon fans.Yankees pitcher Mike Mussina, damn it, should be in   more...

Mike Mussina surprises as all with another very good year to add to his wonderful career ledger. It's just enough to get him enshrined into the Fantasy Baseball Hall of Fame.

The Yankees are actually mathematically alive at this point in the season. Many people thought they would be out of it already, but they haven't given up. Actually, they are (8-2) in their last 10 games. IF only they could have played like this earlier in the season. It's a shame..with only a few   more...

The Yankees are planning a big ceremony to send off this stadium. As the week continues..I am sure the organization will release more of their plans for the stadium's pre-game ceremonies. The Yankees/Orioles game will begin at 8:05PM ET, and it will be televised nationally on ESPN. The Yankees are   more...

Mike Mussina obviously has stuff left in the tank. After last year, many thought he was done and over the hill, but he proved everyone wrong with a stellar season in '08. If he retires..he would be going out on the top of his game on a 20 win season. He has 270 career wins and is only 30 away from   more...

We don't really know which one will return..if either. The more likely candidate to come back would be Pettitte, as many hint that Mussina is considering retirement. Cashman seems to think that Mussina is leaning torward retirement. He will probably retire, or play three more seasons and try to   more...

The season ends today. The good part about it is that we can get a ton of baseball in the last day of the regular season. A doubleheader against the Red Sox..doesn't get better than that. Yes, we are out of it, but it's still the Red Sox. We can show them up by sweeping them. I think everyone is   more...

Mike Mussina is now a 20-game winner. He earned it. Mike now has 270 career wins, and is 30 shy of the 300 Win Club. If he reaches 300 wins, (if he decides to continue) it will make him a lock for the Hall of Fame. That is a big IF though. Many think he will retire, but at the same time lots of   more...

Yes, that's righta€¦the Yankees are done, finished, and mathematically out of the playoffs. After 13 long years, they finally didn't make the postseason. We all so this happening in the past few weeks, so not a shock. If you told me in the beginning of the season that all of this would happen..I   more...

Carl Pavano has 3 wins..and Hughes has 0. Who would have thought that would be the case at this point in the season. Also..who would have thought the Yankees wouldn't be in the postseason run. Pavano hasn't pitched well, but it's just awkward. This won't be a pretty game..two pitchers will 5.00+   more...

Chien Ming Wang started to get his arm loose back on September 14th, when he started to have a catch. He is trying to be ready for Spring Training of next season..and all signs show that he will be ready to go. Wang doesn't wear his boot or use crutches any longer. He isn't feeling pain, and he   more...

Today the letters that spell "Yankee Stadium" were raised above Gate 4 of the new stadium. Sods are being grown on a New Jersey farm, and will be placed on the field shortly. The stadium lights will be turned on for the first time this November. It seems to me like the stadium is being made at a   more...
